Seed Starting Medium - Stratification Sand

$10.00

Details

Catalog Code
STRAT-M

Shipping fee is included (within the contiguous US).  We use fine sand as a medium to artificially stratify seed, as in Germination Code C.  We send one cup of sand which can be used to stratify up to ½ oz of seed (slightly more or less depending on seed size). We like this sand because, unlike other seed starting media, the uniform color and fine texture allows you to see your seed.

HI Kelli. I have heard from customers that they will put it on a baking sheet in the oven at a low temp. Worth a try! Good luck!
