Therefore, before germination, the seeds of Clivia must be soaked in warm water. Only after it absorbs sufficient water can it germinate quickly. In addition, before germination, the seeds of Clivia can be soaked in sodium phosphate, which can promote the division of Clivia seed cells and allow it to germinate as soon as possible.
