Japanese Aralia Tree Seeds . 
 
HOW TO GROW JAPANESE ARALIA TREES :

Step 1
Soak seeds in cool to luke warm water for up to 24 hours.
Step 2
Sow seeds onto the surface and gently press to ensure the seed makes good cotact with the soil. Leave uncovered or cover with a thin layer of vermiculite (this allows some light in - which is necessary to germinate this species). These seeds MUST stay moist at all times, drying out of the medium (peat/soil) will kill the seeds embryo quite quickly once germination inside the seed has begun. Note: You can also grow them in above mentioned soil in a zip lock bag inside the home at room temperature in a shady location and then transplant once sprouted.
Step 3
A warm (not hot) greenhouse or windowsill in a well lit but shaded; not direct full sun locations for germination. Alternatively, if they must be outside cover pot/s with plastic wrap or glass (this will keep warmth and humidity inside pot and also help retain moisture). Keep soil moist at all times during germination but not soaking wet. Optimal soil temperature for germination is 15-20 °C / 60-70°F. Temperature fluctuation is not a problem and can actually be beneficial. Germination begins at approximately 3-6 weeks in optimal conditions, but can be sporadic and take up to 12 weeks.
Step 4
Once germination has begun, if pots/tray are covered with plastic wrap or glass etc, leave a corner uncovered to allow air circulation and assist seedlings in adapting to the environment outside.
Step 5
Aralias can be transplanted if necessary once they have at least 2 true leaves. As an established plant Japanese Aralia needs a medium to full shade location with minimal wind. Excessive sunlight and strong winds will damage the leaves. They prefer a well draining but moist soil. Keep an eye on any plants in pots as the soil will dry out quicker. If in a good location, this plant will let you know by thriving. They are very tough and hard to kill in the correct location.Japanese Aralia are best kept in pots until they are at least a year or so old, this way they are nice and strong before planting out in Spring. Fertilise in Spring during the growing season. Will not require much watering, if any outdoors during the winter. Annual pruning around early-mid Spring is necessary to maintain bushy growth and healthy leaves. Remove old and ungainly branches right back to the ground. New growth will come from the base.
