Planting and Growing Tips:
To speed up germination, soak the seeds in water for 24 hours before planting them in the soil. Asian Pigeonwings is an easy-to-grow plant that thrives in full sun and prefers moderate watering. While it’s adaptable, it will grow faster and healthier in nutrient-rich soil. Ensure the planting site is well-drained, as the plant doesn’t like to sit in water. Slightly raised garden beds are ideal for promoting healthy growth, as they provide excellent drainage and soil conditions.

• The seeds are sourced from the mother plant, naturally and organically grown in my permaculture food forest in Pacific Haven, QLD, Australia. Please note that seeds are sent within Australia only and are not available for delivery to Tasmania (TAS) or Western Australia (WA).
