✍️ From seed to fruit. How to grow Loquat from seeds, step-by-step guide. Part 1: planting seeds

🍑 1. Harvesting and Preparing Seeds

• Harvest: Select ripe Loquat fruits (when they are bright yellow color) and remove 1-3 seeds from each.
• Clean: Rinse seeds thoroughly in cool water to remove all fruit residue. Like with every fruit seeds, any pulp leftover may prevent germination and/or cause rot of the seeds.
• Storage: If not planting immediately, wrap seeds in a damp paper towel and store in a vented container with moist sawdust or moss (to avoid drying out) at room temperature (if stored a few days) or at 40F if stored for over a week. Seeds can remain viable for up to 3-6 months. Refrigerating the fruit doesn't harm the seeds, although may take seeds longer to germinate. If the seeds are slightly dry, soak them in water overnight.

🍑 2. Planting Seeds

• Container: Use a pot with a good drainage.
• Soil: Fill with well-draining, soilless potting mix (no compost or top soil). Perfect seed germination mix is Abundance Mix: peat moss (or coconut fiber) - 80%, perlite - 10%, small pieces of pine bark - 10%.
• Depth: Plant seeds 1"deep. Place them horizontally.
• Spacing: Multiple seeds can be planted in one pot or tray (with drainage holes); space them adequately. You can use so called “community pots”, then separate the seedlings once they reach 2-4" in height.

🍑 3. Germination Conditions

• Light: Place the pot in a bright, warm area with temperatures at least (and above) 70F . The warmer, the faster the germination. We germinate seeds in a "hot house" where temperatures can reach 100F.
• Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist but not wet.
• Germination Time: Loquat seeds germinate within 2-4 weeks.
