Germination

To germinate Garcinia gummi-gutta seeds, start by washing them thoroughly to remove any pulp or debris. Next, soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften their outer coating and improve germination. After soaking, prepare a well-draining potting mix using a combination of peat moss, perlite, and sand. Fill small seedling pots or trays with the potting mix and plant the seeds about 1 inch deep, spacing them evenly apart. Water the soil gently to ensure it is evenly moist but not waterlogged. Place the pots in a warm, well-lit area with indirect sunlight. Maintain a consistent temperature of around 25-30°C (77-86°F) for optimal germination. Keep the soil moist but not soggy by watering regularly, and ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases. Germination typically occurs within 2 to 4 weeks, although it may take longer in some cases. Once the seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted into larger containers or directly into the garden, ensuring they receive adequate sunlight and protection from strong winds until they are well established.
