Mediterranean native seeds germination<\/strong><\/h1><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Do your bit to help restore the Vega Baja!<\/strong>Using native species on our balconies and in our gardens is the best decision we can make, because they are best adapted to local conditions, as well as being the only ones that enable us to restore the ecosystems or habitats native to the area. However, it is difficult to find them in the garden centres of the Vega Baja, where exotic and ornamental species are much more common.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to grow your own plants for your sustainable garden, saving water and promoting biodiversity in your local area, why not give germinating native species a go? It\u2019s also a hobby that\u2019s directly connected to the natural world around us, a lesson in patience and biology in action that can sometimes turn into a real botanical challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The science of seeds<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

To succeed in seeds germination, it is important to understand that Mediterranean plants employ strategies to optimise the survival of their seeds. Reproducing this strategy is key if we want our seeds to germinate successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, it is important to realise that not all seeds withstand drying out in the same way, which is important when it comes to their storage. The different types of seeds, categorised according to their desiccation tolerance<\/strong> are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
