Germination

Codonopsis viridis can be germinated successfully with specific steps. Begin by cold stratifying the seeds in the refrigerator for 2-4 weeks. Next, scarify the seeds by gently rubbing them with sandpaper or nicking the seed coat with a knife to enhance germination. Prepare a well-draining seed starting mix and sow the scarified seeds at a depth of about 1/4 inch in individual containers or seed trays. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, as excessive moisture can lead to rot. Place the containers in a cool location with temperatures around 60-70°F (15-21°C) to encourage germination, which typically occurs within 2-6 weeks. Once the seedlings emerge, provide them with bright, indirect light and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before transplanting them into their permanent location. With careful attention to these steps, successful germination and healthy growth of Codonopsis viridis seeds can be achieved.
