Scarification in botany involves weakening, opening, or otherwise altering the coat of a seed to encourage germination. Scarification is often done mechanically, thermally, and chemically.
Scarification, regardless of type, works by speeding up the natural processes which normally make seed coats permeable to water and air.
Now used chemical scarification on my freshly harvested Byblis liniflora seeds (left - one swimming in the cup). Used hydrogen peroxide and water to slowly make the seeds' coat soft to easily germinate once sown in sphagnum moss.
Updates soon on what will germinate first!
Will sell seed pods soon and will post it here! 💚
