Germination To germinate Calochortus albus seeds, Provide a period of cold stratification by refrigerating them for a few weeks. When you’re prepared to begin germination, prepare a seed tray or small pots with a well-draining seed starting mix, such as a mixture of sand and peat moss. Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and gently press them into the mix. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged by misting regularly or using a gentle watering can. Place the tray or pots in a location with indirect sunlight and maintain a temperature between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Germination typically occurs within 1-2 months. Once the seedlings emerge, provide them with ample light and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions if transplanting. Calochortus albus prefers well-drained soil and a location with partial to full sunlight. Continue to care for the seedlings with proper watering and light as they grow into mature plants.
