Soaked #milkweedseeds in a fungicide solution for an half hour. #stratifying seeds in fridge for 30 days using the #papertowelmethod. Paper towel also soaked in a fungicide solution. I usually stratify the seeds in the fall but we had such a sporadic winter this year. I didnt think they would germinate. (3-2-22)

Why are you using a fungicide? And what do you use?

@lesliecole49 i learned that trick off of You Tube a while back when learning about growing plumeria and desert rose seeds. It helps reduce seed fungal/rot. Specially when the seeds take longer germinate . Ive been using Daconil Fungicide. Not my first choice but its what they had at Wal-mart at the time.
