Sowing Instructions

N1	These seeds germinate quickly and easily at temperatures around 20°C (68°F).
N2	These seeds usually germinate easily, but not as fast as N1 and not always so evenly.
N3	To obtain best germination results, seeds need temperatures of 22°C (72°F) or more. Moderate, but constant humidity is very important.
W1	These seeds of aquatic plants in watertight trays in a nutritious muddy compost sow at about 22°C (72°F) up. Carefully water into the bowl fill up to max. 1 cm above the soil.
K1	These seeds in the first 2 to 4 weeks warm at around 18 to 22°C (64 to 72°F) hold. Then for about 4 to 6 weeks cold between -4 and +4°C (25 and 39°F ) represent. It is not so important if the temperature is higher or lower during the cooling period, but the cooling period has to be prolonged because the synthesis of the germination inducer, hormonlike acid, slows down or comes to a standstill. The cover with a thick snow cover is an advantage, since the temperature of which is then usually between -4 to 0°C (25 to 32°F) to move and enough moisture is present. The melting snow makes the seed coat porous and then the seeds can easily germinate. After this cooling-period the temperature at 5 to 12°C (41 to 54°F) raised - whether a germination has taken place or not. The best place to enter into May is the outdoors or a cold greenhouse. Most the Ranunculus family germinate at lower temperatures around -5°C (23°F) significantly better.
K2	These seeds quickly lose their germination and should be soon after the harvest sown, even if germination after the winter cold in the spring is done.
K3	These seeds do not germinate as soon after the cooling-period. Please have some patience and seed boxes not too early. By some seeds can last for an entire year - a regular on moisture control
K4	These seeds germinate extremely late, sometimes it takes one year or longer before germination starts. To best utilize space and avoid drying out, this seed must be "stratified" (placed in layers of wet sand - alternately a thin layer of seeds and a layer of well-moistened sand, etc.). The stratification boxes have to be kept in the shade to benefit from weather effects - especially winter. A fine wire mesh will protect them from mice and birds. In spring frequently check to see if germination has begun. When germination has started, the seeds must be sown immediately in the prepared bed with the moist sand.
K5	These perennial seeds germinate very irregularly distributed over a long period. Low temperatures below +5°C (41°F) are very beneficial. Please have some patience and not too early seed trays empty. Constant moisture must be maintained. Do not leave in direct sunlight.
K6	These seeds usually germinate quickly. If germination does not occur after 3-4 weeks a cooling period of 2-4 weeks is recommended..
K7	These seeds need a minimum of 6 weeks, a ground heat of about 22°C (72°F). Then for about 6 to 8 weeks cold between -4 and +4°C (25 to 39°F) provide. After cooling-period the temperature very slowly increase to max. 10°C (50°F) until germination is complete. If the warm or cold period was not long enough the seeds will not germinate until the following year. They will then need another warm period (summer) and a cold period (winter).
K8	These seeds of aquatic plants as in W1 and sow 2 to 4 weeks warm. After a cooling period of 4-6 weeks by 0°C (32°F). The water may freeze may. Then the temperature slowly increased.
