Montezuma Cypress Germination:
1) Scarify seeds by soaking in ethyl alcohol for 5 mins. Rinse seeds well afterwards and soak in water for 24 hours.
2) Cold stratify by placing seeds in a zip lock bag filled with most peat moss or vermiculite for 90 days. Periodically check to ensure they stay slightly moist but never wet.
3) Plant 1/4" deep in rich and moist potting soil, keeping really most at all times.
4) Use a heated propagator mat to keep the temperature at 78 degrees F.
5) Expect germination within 2-3 weeks.
