Instructions for the Chocolate Vine
The seeds need
to be planted when received or stored in a refrigerator until they are planted.
The seeds have a period of dormancy. They can be planted outdoors in the fall
or winter for spring germination or they can be cold stratified to simulate
winter conditions and to break their dormancy at any time of the year. 1. Soak
the seeds in water for 24 hours. 2. Put the seeds in a ziplock bag. 3. Put the
bag in the refrigerator and leave it there for 30 days. 4. The seeds like
moist, well-drained soil. Use a sterile seed starter mix, if available. It
prevents soil fungi from damaging the seeds and the seedlings. If not
available, then make a mixture of half potting soil and half sand, perlite or
vermiculite. Put the soil in a pot. 5. Sow the seeds 1/16 of an inch deep. 6.
Water the soil so that it is moist but not wet. 7. When the seedlings are a few
inches tall, they can be transplanted.
