Agrotechnics for Growing Peanuts from Seeds
Detailed guide to sowing, stratifying, and caring for coniferous seeds. Tips for spruce, pine, thuja, and more.
Important!
Seeds that have passed stratification, we send wet in perlite, and if you received dry seeds (without perlite), which means that they have not passed stratification and you, if it is required for seeds, need to stratify!
Rinse the peanuts thoroughly and put them in a large jar. Then soak the peanuts in cool water and leave them for 12 hours away from direct sunlight at 21ºC. After soaking, the seeds should be rinsed and dried. Repeat the soaking procedure after 12 hours. The seeds will start to germinate after three washing and drying cycles. Only when the tops of the seeds are bulging can the peanuts be planted in the ground.
The growing area should be well lit, free of shade and well ventilated. The soil should be light, black or neutral and have a high potassium, magnesium and humus content. Peanuts cannot tolerate soil salinity.
Peanuts are planted in warm soil. Seeds germinate at 12-14 degrees, the ideal temperature being 25-30 degrees.
Be sure to wait for the weather to get warmer, since peanuts cannot tolerate frosts. Peanuts are usually planted in mid-May, after the gourds have been sown.
The best predecessors for peanuts on the plot are cabbage, cucumbers, potatoes.
In spring, prepare the soil before planting - apply 50 g of nitrophoska per 1 m2. If you prepare the soil in autumn, you can apply humus under tillage at a depth of 25-30 cm at the rate of 1-3 kg per m2.

Soak the tubers in water for two or three days. The most important thing here is to change the water once a day! If you forget, you can say goodbye to half of the tubers!
The soaked tubers can be sown in cups with soil, or they can be wrapped in toilet paper or paper towels, put into a cellophane bag and put away in a warm (not hot!) place. You can also germinate in damp sawdust.
If you are going to sow in cups (2-3 cm deep), water lightly after sowing, cover with a transparent bag or lid and wait for sprouts.
If you decide to wrap for sprouting, check and moisten the paper from time to time. As soon as the roots appear - into the cups. The soil for chufa sprouts should ideally be soil + sand (or perlite) + some ash. As sprouts appear in cups - bags, covers remove. Do not pour a lot! The soil should be slightly damp. Chufa can take up to two weeks to germinate.
