Germination of Aralia Stump Plant Seeds

Germinating aralia stump plant seeds is not an easy task, but it is possible. The first step is to soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours. After that, you need to scarify the seeds by gently rubbing them with sandpaper or a file to break the hard outer shell.

Once the seeds have been scarified, you need to stratify them. Stratification is a process where the seeds are exposed to cold temperatures for a specific period. You can stratify the seeds by placing them in a plastic bag with moist peat moss or vermiculite and keeping them in the fridge for four weeks.

After four weeks of stratification, you can sow the seeds in a potting mix. Keep the soil moist and warm, and within two weeks, you should see some seedlings sprouting.
