Banksia Germination:
1) Fill pots with a well draining seed starting mix.
2) Use a heated propagator to keep the soil temperature at 72 degrees F.
3) Lightly cover the seeds with 1/8 inch of Vermiculite. It is very important you place the seeds "flat" before lightly covering.
4) Keep moist, not wet. Wet soil will rot the seeds so keep moist. Do not let them dry out.
5) Patience is required as germination will begin between 21-60 days. If some sprout early, don't toss out the rest as they're still good. They just need more time.

Germinación de Banksia:
1) Llene las macetas con una mezcla para semillas que drene bien.
2) Use un propagador calentado para mantener la temperatura del suelo a 72 grados F.
3) Cubra ligeramente las semillas con 1/8 de pulgada de vermiculita. Es muy importante que coloque las semillas "planas" antes de cubrirlas ligeramente.
4) Manténgalas húmedas, no mojadas. La tierra mojada pudrirá las semillas, así que manténgalas húmedas. No deje que se sequen.
5) Se requiere paciencia, ya que la germinación comenzará entre 21 y 60 días. Si algunas brotan antes, no deseche el resto, ya que todavía están en buen estado. Solo necesitan más tiempo.
