Natural Germination: Norway Spruce seeds benefit from cold stratification to break dormancy. Planting them outdoors in autumn allows them to experience the winter chill, aiding in spring germination.
Artificial Stratification: For controlled germination, mix the seeds with a moist substrate and optionally refrigerate for about a 1 month. This simulates the natural cold period, preparing the seeds for successful germination when planted in warmer conditions. Refrigeration isn’t generally required – the seeds will germinate easily above 15C.
