Banksia brownii Spring-leaved

Banksia brownii, commonly known as spring-leaved banksia, is a shrub native to Western Australia. An attractive plant about 2 m high, with fine pinnate leaves and large red-brown flower spikes.

Use Jiffy peat soaking pots for sowing, allow to swell in water and place in a plastic pot. Alternatively, commercially available seed substrates can also be used.

Spread a few seeds on the peat soaking pot and cover them thinly with the sowing substrate (about 2 mm).

Then place the plastic pot in a ziplock bag - with a pot size of 6 cm, a ziplock bag measuring 120 x 170 mm is recommended. Put enough tap water with a few drops of universal fertilizer in the ziplock bag so that a few mm of water remain after the substrate has been soaked up. 

Location: on the windowsill or in a mini greenhouse in partial shade, during the day the temperatures should be around 24 - 28 C, at night a little lower at 20 - 24 C. The resulting microclimate creates ideal germination conditions.
