Natural Germination: Korean Pine Seeds require a period of cold stratification to break dormancy. This can be achieved naturally by sowing the seeds outdoors in autumn, allowing them to experience the winter cold, which stimulates spring germination.
Artificial Stratification: For controlled germination, mix the seeds with a moist substrate and keep warm for approximately 6 weeks, then refrigerate for approximately 4-6 weeks. This simulates the natural cold period, preparing the seeds for successful germination when planted in warmer conditions.
Warm stratification involves keeping the seeds at a warm temperature (about 20°C to 30°C) for a period of time, before transferring them to cold stratification.
