What is your recommended germination procedure for the seed of coffee plants, tea plants and eucalyptus trees?
Coffee – soak seeds for 24 to 48 hours, then sow at 30 degrees Celsius. Keep not too wet and supply bottom heat. Seeds germinate in a little over a month.
Tea – Sow in a fertile, acid soil, keep warm and humid. Germination takes a month.
Eucalyptus – surface sow seeds and chaff on a neutral to slightly alkaline well-draining soil. Press into surface, cover with transparent plastic and put into a bright spot out of direct sun. Most species germinate within a week.
