Specific Germination Instructions for Success

For the successful germination of Peruvian Lily seeds, a specific warm and cold stratification process is required:

1. Warm Period: Sow the seeds just under the surface of the soil and water them in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist during this time. This warm period helps to break down phytohormones that inhibit germination. You will not see growth during this phase.
2. Cooling Period (Cold Stratification): After the 4-week warm period, cover the seed container with plastic to retain moisture and place it in a refrigerator for 6 weeks. It is crucial to ensure the soil stays moist throughout this cold period.
3. Germination: Following the 6-week cold stratification, bring the seed container back to a cool room for germination. Germination can be erratic and may take anywhere from 30 to 90 days after this warming period, although some seeds may take even longer. Be patient and continue to keep the soil consistently moist.
