How long does it take for Podocarpus seeds to germinate?
Podocarpus seed germination can take several weeks to several months, depending on the species, seed freshness, and growing conditions. Some varieties have irregular germination and may take longer. Fresh seeds, suitable moisture, and the correct pretreatment can help improve germination results.
How do you grow Podocarpus from seeds?
