So I’m trying to grow some larches from seeds… first time doing this. Took around 100 seeds collected in autumn directly from trees and 14th of January started cold stratification. Put around half of seeds in water for roughly 20 hours… than separated once that drowned from ones that were swimming… ultimately ended up with 3 groups (1) dry, (2) moisted/drowned, (3) moisted/swimming. Put on wet paper towel for 6 weeks into refrigerator (4 degrees Celsius).
Today during my weekly check discovered that some seeds started to germinate… interestingly enough only the ones that drowned when being in water at the beginning of the process… rest is still dormant. Loaded this part today to the grow box and see if they manage to grow. Couple of things/questions:
(1) germination in refrigerator doesn’t seem like normal course of action… what happened?
(2) only ones that drowned started to germinate… rest still dormant… or dead?
Not overly concerned as this is first attempt to learn something new but really curious why.
