Metasequoia Glyptostroboides 'Dawn Redwood' Seeds

Glyptostroboides seeds. Instructions: We recommend using the following to sow the seeds: 12 Cavity Greenhouse or Planter with Humidity Dome Soil Pellets or Soil Pods Liquid Fertilizer Dawn redwood seeds have low germination rates naturally, the best setup is a greenhouse with a heat mat or just in consistent room temperature without much temperature fluctuation, and away from direct sun. Pre-soaking for 24 hours in water can help, as well as placing the seeds in a ziploc baggie with paper towels, vermiculite or perlite in a fridge for 2-3 weeks prior to planting can benefit the germination rates. Once the seeds germinate, start removing the humidity dome, then make sure seedlings are getting a good amount of light, under grow lights or a bright windowsill.
