Wysiew

Botanical garden report

Authors from the UNAM botanical garden reported 90–95% germination after 5 minutes in distilled water at 55°C, followed by 36 hours of soaking at 18–20°C and sowing in a porous substrate. [Gutiérrez De la Rosa 2003, file p. 2]

The sample size and a comparison with untreated seeds are absent. Elevated temperature requires precise control. The result does not establish that this treatment is necessary.

Flowering and moisture

Botanical garden report

Flowering occurred at 2 years of age in the greenhouse. The authors warn of excessive moisture and rapid rotting. Seeds may remain in the axils for years. Germination after the death of the mother plant was described. [Gutiérrez De la Rosa 2003, file p. 2]
