How to grow it

STRATIFICATION: Open your Seeds In A Cup kit. Place sycamore seeds in the provided moistened growing medium in a sealed bag. Refrigerate at 33-41°F (1-5°C) for 30-60 days.

PLANTING: After stratification, fill your Seeds In A Cup container with the provided growing medium. Press seeds gently onto the surface and barely cover. Mist thoroughly. Place in a warm, bright location (65-75°F) or under a grow light for 14-16 hours/day. Germination occurs in 14-21 days.

SEEDLING CARE: Sycamore seedlings are fast growers. Keep soil consistently moist — sycamores naturally grow along rivers. When seedlings reach 6-8 inches, transplant to a larger pot. Plant outdoors in USDA Zones 4-9 in spring. Provide full sun and ample space — this tree gets BIG!
