Apricot kernels prefer a warm and humid growing environment. They need sufficient sunlight when growing, which makes it easier to germinate. They also need a suitable temperature environment at normal times. It is best to keep the temperature above 15 degrees. They also need to be watered and moisturized in time during maintenance.

Apricot kernel germination process

When planting apricot kernels, you need to remove the seed shells first. When germinating, you need to place them on a wet paper towel, water them every day, and maintain the humidity. They will gradually germinate after about a week, and at this time they can be transplanted.
