CAPE "Super Smoke Plus" SEED PRIMER
Sold Out..

 
 

For treating seeds of many types of trees, cacti, palms, grasses, 
strelitzias, and many, many other varieties. 
Cape Super Smoke Plus is an absorbent paper that is impregnated with 
fynbos-smoke-saturated water. The paper is then dried and sealed in a polythene 
packet. When dormant seeds require "smoking", a predetermined volume of water is 
added to the paper in a suitable container and the seeds are "smoke-primed" by 
soaking in the smoke-water solution for 24 hours. In order to have the maximum 
effect in breaking seed dormancy, a range of natural germination stimulators has 
been added to the smoke solution to overcome other forms of seed dormancy found 
in many species.
Each standard packet contains five papers, and 50ml water should be added to 
each paper. Each packet is thus sufficient to make up 250ml solution ( approx. 
8½ oz. ) and enough to treat approximately 500 large seeds.
Package of 5 
papers $10.00
