Ok. Get more seeds Boil water Tie the seeds in a cloth dip it in the water for 15 - 20 mins Spread the seeds on a plate indoors and allow to cool Plant immediately in soil that you mixed with pure chicken poo 2 weeks earlier. Go back after 4 days and you should see your young ewedu plants GOOD LUCK Slayar: 1 Like 1 Share |

Slayar: Abeg did the ewedu germinate with d method mentioned ? |
Re: How Do I Plant Ewedu ? by Slayar: 7:32am On Aug 14, 2018 |
funsoul: I tried three methods 1.Dip in very hot water for 5mins 2.Dip in water that's manageable enough to put your hand in without getting burnt -5mins 3.Plant without boiling 2 and 3 germinated , 3 germinated the most. I came to the conclusion,you don't need to boil the seeds;but before you determine that ,try planting a little of it before mass planting, under normal circumstances ,it should germinate 3-4 days |
Re: How Do I Plant Ewedu ? by funsoul: 10:42am On Aug 14, 2018 |
Slayar:Also tried the hot water method none germinated. Will try without boiling. Thanks 2 Likes |

Funlag: Same thing everyone says ,you forgot to give the temperature of the boiling water and the quantity. Like I said earlier ,that boiling thing doesn't work. 4 Likes |

Ever since I've been planting my ewedu seeds, I've never done the dormancy breaking (i.e dip the seeds in warm/hot water) and my ewedu seeds have been growing well just ensure you wet it frequently (morning and evening). Goodluck. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Pathman: YOU MIGHT BEEN BUYING SEEDS THAT HAD THEIR DORMANCY BROKEN. OR YOUR SOIL HAS CONSTANT WATER FLOWING INTO IT. AN HIDDEN FACTOR MAY BE RESPONSIBLE. |
