Before planting, seeds are stratified for 1-2 months in order to increase germination, since they are dormant.

There are several ways to stratify:

1. Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours, then put them in the refrigerator on the lower shelf or in the lower drawer.
2. Place the seeds in a well-dampened napkin or cloth, wrap them in a bag and send them to the refrigerator.
3. Arrange the seeds in a small container filled with earth or a special hydrogel, moisten and refrigerate.

To prepare seeds for planting, you can use not only the refrigerator, but also the basement of the house. The main thing is that the temperature is in the range from 0 to +5 degrees. During the stratification process, it is necessary to ensure that the seeds are in a humid environment. If such a long preparation is not possible, then it is permissible to plant seed material before winter.

In order for the seeds of a mountaineer to germinate, it is necessary, after processing (mentioned above), to spread them out in the light at a temperature of 18-25 degrees. Everything is now ready for outdoor planting.
