Shelf Life : Best planted within 1 year for maximum germination
Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Deodar Cedar seeds generally benefit from a stratification period. To stratify, place seeds in a moist medium (like sand or peat moss) in a cool environment (around 4°C to 10°C / 40°F to 50°F) for 30-60 days before planting.
Sowing:
Plant seeds in early spring or late fall. Sow seeds about 1 cm (1/2 inch) deep in prepared seed beds or individual pots filled with well-draining soil.
Germination:
Germination usually occurs within 2-3 weeks if conditions are favorable (moist soil and moderate temperatures).
Transplanting:
Once seedlings reach a height of 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) and have developed several sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted into larger containers or directly into the garden.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering : Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the first year of growth.
Pruning : Minimal pruning is required; prune to shape or remove dead or damaged branches as needed.
Protection : Protect young seedlings from harsh sun and strong winds until they are established.
