Mimosa Hostilis 10 seeds

Germinate the seeds:

Mimosa hostilis seeds should be soaked, with very hot water but not boiling, for at least an hour, until they swell (some may need up to 24 hours) and then make a small cut in the shell with a blade, wrap them in a moistened kitchen towel and inside a plastic bag to keep moisture. You have to keep the napkin moist at all times. When germinated, put each seed in a small pot with perlite or vermiculite and let it grow a few centimeters, then transplant it into a mixed sandy-clay organic soil.

Another option:

Germinating the seeds of Mimosa hostilis (also known as Mimosa tenuiflora) can be a somewhat delicate process:

    Seed preparation: Mimosa hostilis seeds can have a hard coating that makes germination difficult. Some people recommend soaking the seeds in warm water for 24 hours before sowing to soften this outer layer and make germination easier.

    Substrate: Use a substrate suitable for seed germination, such as a light mixture of peat and perlite, which provides adequate drainage and retains the moisture needed for germination.

    Sowing: Place the seeds on the surface of the moistened substrate and press them lightly to ensure good contact with the substrate. Do not bury them too deep, as Mimosa hostilis seeds usually need light to germinate.

    Environment: Place the pots in a warm, bright place, but avoid direct sunlight, as this may be too intense for young seedlings. Suitable temperature for germination of Mimosa hostilis seeds generally ranges from 20°C to 25°C (68°F - 77°F).

Watering: Keep the substrate evenly moist, but not soggy. Water carefully to prevent the seeds from being displaced or washed out of the substrate.

Germination: Mimosa hostilis seeds can take several weeks to germinate, so be patient. Once the seedlings have emerged, you can slightly reduce the amount of water you provide, but continue to keep the substrate slightly moist.
