General Bittermelon Germination tips: &#8211; scarify seeds first, use nail clipper to clip off a tiny piece of the lower (fat) edge without damaging the zygote- soak seeds in 120F water for 15 minutes and stir gently occasionally, in order to wake up seeds from dormancy- optionally, you can soak seeds for another 8-12 hours in warm water (i.e. rest the container on heating mat)- use fine seed starter mix or promix, place seeds into cell packs, water it well, then rest the 1020 seedling tray onto heating mat set at 85F- most seeds should germinate within 5-7 days, but few laggers may take 3 weeks- use grow light to avoid legging seedling growth- seedlings are ready for transplant with 2-4 true leaves Direct outdoor sowing is not recommended unless outdoor nightly low is consistently above 60F. Otherwise poor germination result is expected, and seeds may take 3-5 weeks to sprout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"itempress_category":[11],"itempress_tag":[935,805,37,70,38,16,75,4],"class_list":["post-8982","itempress_product","type-itempress_product","status-publish","hentry","itempress_category-cat-40605","itempress_tag-bitter-melon-seeds","itempress_tag-gourd","itempress_tag-green","itempress_tag-moderate","itempress_tag-outdoor","itempress_tag-returnsnotaccepted","itempress_tag-unbranded","itempress_tag-vegetable-seeds"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/itempress_product\/8982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/itempress_product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/itempress_product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"itempress_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/itempress_category?post=8982"},{"taxonomy":"itempress_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pappagallocucina.com.br\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/itempress_tag?post=8982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
