1. what does happen if seeds sown in high temperature (about 40 C )?
2. is day and night temperature differences important for germination ?
tnx
I've seen a couple of studies about the germination process of cacti seed, but they only looked at temperature ranges between 10 and 35°C. For most species the germination rate deteriorated above 30°C, but some species preferred temperatures between 30 and 35°C. (There was the general tendency, that higher temperatures speeded up the germination process, but had a negative impact on the germination ratio.)ali wrote:1. what does happen if seeds sown in high temperature (about 40 C )?
It's often said that lower night temperatures increase the germination rate, especially for cacti from high mountain regions. The studies I've seen do not support that statement.ali wrote:2. is day and night temperature differences important for germination ?
