How to grow it
PLANTING: Open your Seeds In A Cup kit. Fill your container with the provided growing medium. Plant pomegranate seeds ¼ inch deep. Water thoroughly. Place in a warm, sunny location (75-85°F) or under a grow light for 14-16 hours/day. No stratification needed — germination occurs in 14-30 days.
GERMINATION CARE: Keep soil moist and warm. Pomegranate seedlings emerge quickly. Provide maximum sunlight once sprouts appear.
SEEDLING CARE: Pomegranate seedlings are fast growers. Transplant to a larger pot when 4-6 inches tall. Full sun is essential. In Zones 7-10, plant outdoors. In cooler zones, grow in containers — pomegranates make excellent patio plants and can fruit in pots! Very drought tolerant once established.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the stratification requirements for Peach (Prunus persica) seeds?
Peach seeds require cold-moist stratification at 2 to 4 degrees Celsius for 90 to 120 days to break physical and physiological dormancy. The Seeds In A Cup® Peach Tree Grow Kit instructions provide clear, visual steps to easily manage this stratification process in your home refrigerator.
What are the germination requirements for Pomegranate (Punica granatum) seeds?
Pomegranate seeds do not require cold stratification but benefit from a 24 hour warm-water soak before planting. Sowing the seeds 6.35 millimeters (1/4 inch) deep in a warm environment will trigger rapid germination.
What is the optimal temperature for Fig (Ficus carica) seed germination?
Fig seeds germinate best at warm room temperatures between 21 and 27 degrees Celsius (70 to 81 degrees Fahrenheit), typically sprouting in 14 to 28 days when kept moist.
How deep should Pomegranate and Fig seeds be planted?
Sow Pomegranate seeds 6.35 millimeters (1/4 inch) deep, and Fig seeds 3.175 millimeters (1/8 inch) deep in the provided Premium Nutrient-Rich Potting Soil.
What USDA Hardiness Zones are suitable for Pomegranate, Peach, and Fig trees outdoors?
Peach trees are hardy in USDA Zones 5 through 9, Pomegranates in Zones 7 through 10, and Figs in Zones 7 through 11. In colder northern zones, Pomegranates and Figs are excellent container plants that can be moved indoors for winter.
Can Fig trees be grown indoors permanently?
Yes. Fig trees adapt exceptionally well to indoor pot culture.
