Adansonia grandidieri
baobab 

Adansonia grandidieri is native to Madagascar. This baobab grows up to 25 m high and reaches a trunk diameter of up to 5 m. The flowers are whitish to pale yellow.

There is no pretreatment of the seeds required.

The sowing takes place in plastic pots. The substrate used is either commercial cat litter mineral basis (no clumping litter), perlite or pumice (germ-free). Distribute the seeds evenly on the substrate. Cover larger seeds sparingly with substrate, fine seeds may remain on the surface.

Put the plastic pot in a zip-lock bag - with a pot size of 6 cm we recommend a zip-lock bag of size 120 x 170 mm. Put enough tap water in the zip-lock bag with a few drops of universal fertilizer so that a few millimeters of water remain after the substrate has been absorbed. Then close the zip-lock bag airtight.

Watering is not required as moisture does not evaporate through the squeeze bag.

Location: partially shady on the windowsill or in a miniature greenhouse, during the day the temperatures should be around 23 - 28 C, at night a little lower at 20 - 22 C. The microclimate created creates ideal germination conditions.

Price is for 3 seeds
