How
to Germinate Pomegranate Seeds
Wash the flower pot out with warm water and dish
soap, scrubbing gently with the rag. Rinse the pot and allow it to air dry. If
the flower pot was previously used, this will remove any bacteria, mold or
fungus that may remain on the pot. If it is new, this removes any residue or
toxins remaining from the factory or transport.
Fill the flower pot with potting soil, within 1 to 2
inches of the top of the pot. Do not press the dirt down; it should not be
compacted. Pomegranate seeds easily start up in loose soil in nature.
Push a pomegranate seed down in the dirt, gently, to
twice its diameter. Brush soil over the seed. Several seeds may be placed in
the flower pot; put two to three inches between each seed to give ample growing
room.
Water until the soil is saturated, but not pouring
out of the drainage holes at the bottom. Continue to keep the soil moist until
seedlings emerge. Water regularly after that, but the top of the dirt can dry
out slightly between waterings.
Place the flowerpot in direct sunlight or a brightly
lit spot after planting; pomegranate trees thrive on full sun. Seedlings should
emerge within two to three weeks. The flower pot should remain in a sunny spot;
if seedlings will be raised as indoor trees, transplant them to a larger pot
when necessary and keep in direct sunlight or in a sunny spot outside in warmer
months.
