Questions & Answers
Q: How often should I water these seedlings?
A: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in winter. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
Q: What is the germination rate for these pistachio seeds? How long do they take to sprout?
A: The germination rate for Central Asian pistachio seeds is typically 70-85% when properly stratified. Soak seeds in water for 24-48 hours, then cold stratify at 1-5C for 60-90 days before planting. Germination usually occurs within 2-4 weeks after planting.
