Candle Bush Germination:
1) Gently rub with fine sandpaper. When the shell starts to change color, stop sanding.
2) Use a thermos to soak the seeds overnight in a bowl of 120-degree Fahrenheit water. Keep the seeds that sink to the bottom and throw away the seeds that float.
3) Plant seeds 2 inches apart in the moistened seed starting mix. Lightly cover with a very fine layer of moist soil.
4) Use a piece of plastic with a few tiny hole cut into it to cover and seal it shut to retain humidity.
5) Use a heated propagator mat to keep the soil temperature appx. 80 degrees F. during the day. Turning the heating mat off at night can greatly increase germination rates as it mimics their natural conditions using alternating temperatures.
6) Keep them under a bright light. (Not direct sunlight)
7) Germination should occur within 9-26 days. Remove the plastic once they are 2 inches tall.

Germinación de las semillas de Candle Bush:
1) Frote suavemente con papel de lija fino. Cuando la cáscara comience a cambiar de color, deje de lijar.
2) Use un termo para remojar las semillas durante la noche en un recipiente con agua a 120 grados Fahrenheit. Guarde las semillas que se hunden hasta el fondo y deseche las que flotan.
3) Plante las semillas a 2 pulgadas de distancia en la mezcla humedecida para iniciar las semillas. Cúbralas ligeramente con una capa muy fina de tierra húmeda.
4) Use un trozo de plástico con algunos agujeros pequeños cortados para cubrirlo y sellarlo para retener la humedad.
