In regions where wildfires occur regularly, some plant species depend on smoke to trigger seed germination. Compounds in the smoke break seed dormancy and stimulate germination when conditions become favourable after a fire. For some species, this treatment is even necessary to achieve successful germination. This applies to various species from South Africa and Australia, as well as the giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) from California.
The SeedStart Smoke Germination Disc makes it easy to replicate these natural conditions. The disc contains smoke-derived compounds that dissolve in water and can stimulate germination. This makes it possible to successfully grow plants from seeds that would otherwise be difficult to germinate.
One disc is suitable for treating the seeds from one seed packet. Place the paper disc in a glass with a layer of water and add the seeds. Leave everything to soak for 24 hours.
