9GreenBox Bonsai Seed Kit _ Japanese Cherry Blossom

INSTRUCTIONS First, the seeds must be stratified. Let them soak in warm water for twenty four hours, with a 10% mixture of hydrogen peroxide to reduce potential molding. If the seeds are good, then they should have sunk to the bottom of the container. After a day has passed, wrap them in a wet paper towel and place them in a sealed zip lock bag, then set them in a secure part of your fridge for 4 – 8 weeks. Keep a close eye on them during this time. These steps are done to trick the seeds into thinking they’ve just gone through winter, so they’ll be getting ready for spring. Once the time is up, plant them in the potting mix no more than a ¼ of an inch under. Lightly mist the surface to make sure they are moist, but not wet. Place them in an area with bright indirect sun with a temperature of about 60 – 70F.
