Planting seeds of a magnolia how to?
I'm a horticulturlist. Good answer below. When you see the seeds poking out of the seed head, pick the 'cone' and set it up off the ground. The seeds will fall out of it. Next, after you gather all of your seeds, put them in a metal strainer under running water. Grind the seeds around until you get off the red coat. Plant immediately!! Water lightly daily, then increase as the plants grow. You may choose to put them all in one large container, but I recommend putting a few seeds in smaller pots. Hope this helps!
Reply:The first thing you will have to do is soak them in water for a day or so, and then remove that red coating from it. The red coating inhibits growth, so you have to remove that before it will grow.





Now roll the seeds up in some paper towels, and wet the paper towels. The seeds should germinate in a few days, then plant them in small pots with some light potting soil.





Once germinated, keep them good and moist, and give them lots of light.





Good luck.
