When accelerating germination, first dig out the papaya seeds and wash them, and slowly peel off the outermost layer of film. Do not destroy the internal structure of the seeds during the process. Then pour clean water into the pot and soak the papaya seeds. The water should be changed once a day. It takes about 5-6 days to germinate. For seeds such as papaya trees, soaking with moderately concentrated soda water is an effective method of sprouting, and the water temperature should be controlled at 50 degrees.
1. How to properly germinate papaya seeds
When accelerating germination, the papaya seeds should be dug out and washed, and the outermost layer of film should be slowly peeled off, so as not to damage the internal structure of the seeds. Before sowing, papaya seeds should be soaked and germinated. The seeds should be treated with thiophanate-methyl and other disinfectants, and then washed, and then soaked in baking soda for about 6 hours. It is beneficial to increase the germination rate of papaya seeds.
2. How to sow papaya seeds
First choose a place with good lighting and soft soil, then make a seedbed on it, soak the papaya seeds in soda water with a moderate concentration for about 7 hours, take it out to dry, and then plant it in the seedbed. After it's done, water it once, and then cover it with a thin layer of soil and a layer of straw. Seedlings will emerge in about 40-50.
