Red Bird of Paradise Germination:
1) Use a piece of rough grit sand paper to sand the seeds to scarify.
2) Use a thermos to soak seeds in warm water for 48 hours, changing water daily.
3) Once the seeds start to swell, they are ready to plant.
4) Plant no more than 1/4" inch deep in well draining seed starting mix.
5) Use a heated propagator mat to keep soil at 80 degrees F, giving filtered light, but not direct sunlight.
6) Cover pots or treys with a piece of plastic to keep humidity levels high.
