POMEGRANATE – अनार (50 Seed)

Steps to germinate anar tree seeds:

1) Methods for Germinating Pomegranate Seeds:

Soaking in Warm Water: Soak seeds in warm water (40-45°C) for 2 hours to enhance germination.

Moist Paper Towels: Place seeds on a moist paper towel and cover with another moist towel. Place in a plastic bag and keep in a warm, bright location.

Direct Sowing: Sow seeds in a well-draining potting mix, keeping the soil moist and warm.

Scarification and Stratification: For higher germination rates, scarification (e.g., using sulfuric acid) and cold stratification can be beneficial.

2) Factors Affecting Germination:

Temperature: Warm temperatures (75-85°F or 24-29°C) are crucial for germination.

Moisture: Seeds need consistent moisture but not waterlogged conditions.

Light: Some light is needed, but direct sunlight can be too harsh for seedlings.

Time: Germination typically occurs within 14 to 31 days.

3) After Germination:

Transplanting: Once seedlings have developed a few leaves (about 0.8-2.3 cm), they can be transferred to individual pots with appropriate potting mix.

Sunlight: Provide plenty of sunlight, either through direct exposure or grow lights.

Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, but avoid overwatering.
