Germination & Growing Instructions


Carefully nick the edge of the seed or gently file with a metal nail file along one of the ridges. The idea is to allow  moisture to penetrate the seed triggering swifter germination. Be careful not to damage the seed embryo inside

  • Soak the seeds for 2 days in water
  • Sow about 3/4 inch deep in a seed tray or individual 9cm pots (two or 3 per pot)
  • Compost should ideally a mix of  50% regular compost, 50% vermiculite
  • Keep in warm, bright spot (20-25c) eg on a window sill over a radiator if you dont have a heated propagator  
  • Keep moist by watering as needed but do not soak
  • Pot on to larger pots once about 8" high
  • Pots can go outside once all risk of frost has passed. Again pot on as required
  • Most important thing is good drainage in their pots - lots of crocks, holes at bottom etc
  • Once well established and the trunk "woody" you can start harvesting a leaves at a time using common sense not to strip it bare!
  • Bring pots into conservatory or greenhouse over winter  - not frost tolerant.
  • If growing as bonsai, keep indoors all year round
