Beard Tongue Germination:
“Seeds are Tiny so Handle with Care”
1) Use more seeds than you want to plant as the germination rates are known to be low, and patience is needed for their erratic germination. Some may sprout within a month or two, but most can take all the way up to a year so don’t toss out what doesn’t sprout early as they’re still good and just need more time.
2) Mix seeds and moistened soil together in a zip lock bag. To stratify, place in the refrigerator for 30 days.
3) Sow seeds into a well-drained, sandy compost and cover seeds with a very thin layer of sand or grit as they need bright light to germinate. Keep your grow light on for 12-14 hours a day.
4) Use a heated propagator to keep the soil around 75 degrees F during the day, and down to 40 degrees F at night. Temperature fluctuation has been known to help them as it mimics their natural environment.
5) Cover with a piece of plastic to help retain moisture. Check the soil every other day to be sure it stays moist, not wet. Be sure to mist them with a spray bottle so it doesn’t wash the thin layer of sand off of the seeds.
6) Just be sure to keep the temperature fluctuating day & night, with bright light during the day, moist soil, and all you’ll need is patience. Once they sprout, remove them into a separate container.
