To plant Soursop seeds, follow these steps:
-
Seed Extraction: Remove seeds from a ripe Soursop fruit. Clean them to remove any pulp.
-
Seed Preparation: Let the seeds dry for a day or two. This helps prevent fungal growth during germination.
-
Germination: Plant the seeds in a pot with well-draining soil, about 1-1.5 inches deep. Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged.
-
Warmth and Light: Soursop seeds require warmth for germination. Place the pot in a warm, sunny location or use a heat mat.
-
Patience: Germination may take 2-4 weeks. Once sprouts emerge, provide ample sunlight for healthy growth.
-
Transplanting: When seedlings are around 8 inches tall, transplant them to a larger container or into the ground if the weather is warm enough.
-
Soil and Watering: Soursop plants prefer well-draining soil. Water consistently, keeping the soil evenly moist but not soggy.
-
Protection: Protect young plants from harsh sun and wind. Gradually introduce them to outdoor conditions.
Remember, growing Soursop from seeds requires patience, as it may take several years for the plant to bear fruit.
