Tasmanian Snow Berry Seeds Organic .
HOW TO GROW SNOW BERRY :
Step 1
Prepare a seed tray or small pots by filling them with a mix of compost and sand and lightly moisten. Then aim to sprinkle 2-3 seeds per section/pot directly onto the surface (it isn't easy as the seeds are so tiny). Moisten again using a mist spray and keep in a shady location. To achieve success, the soil needs to stay around temperatures between 15 to 25°C / 59 to 77°F. Keeping them indoors, covering with plastic or using a heat mat are all worthy options if starting through colder conditions.Step 2
Throughout the process continue to moisten regularly (every 2-3 days) or more often if soil appears to be drying out. Seed germination can be erratic and can take between 1 week and 2 months. If looking for a higher strike rate and have the patience, a cold stratification period of two months will improve consistency.Because the seeds are so tiny, we suggest starting with Step 1 and then placing the tray or pots directly into the fridge. After eight weeks, follow the process in Step 2 (keep moist and mist every few days) and most seeds should germinate around the same time within 1-3 weeks.Step 3
Once sprouted, move tray/pots to morning sun position and over the next few weeks gradually increase exposure to the sun. Sprouts can be pricked out as early as 25mm (one inch) high and if transplanting continue to use a sandy mix to avoid a common trend of damping off. Keep young seedlings protected from the winter and hot summer sun for at least their first two seasons.Step 4
Transplant to final position after last frost, in Spring. A full sun position is ideal. Once established, will survive cold temperatures down to -10°C / 14°F and not require much watering except for flowering and fruiting seasons. Tasmanian Snow Berries can take between 2-3 years to start fruiting.
