Place the seeds in a damp cloth for 36 hours. After a specified period of time proceed to the immediate sowing.

Seeding make in the sawdust, obtained from a species of deciduous trees. It is permissible to sow the seeds of pines in the sand, and pre-sand and sawdust must be thoroughly wet.

Sprinkle the seeds sown at 2 cm depth, roll, gently pour. Before emergence maintain crops in the wet state. Film cover boxes is not necessary, as the seedlings will appear only after 45-60 days, and if they cover, it will lead to the appearance of mold that are harmful for crops.
