Exotic fruit seeds

Of course, not only exotic vegetable seeds are available. Meanwhile, the range of fruit seeds has expanded to include some exotic varieties. The horned melon is an example of an exotic fruit that does well here. Another exotic fruit that is increasingly being grown is the melon pear. By the way, fruits mentioned earlier are not always necessarily considered fruits. Indeed, both in terms of taste and cultivation, they are very similar to vegetables, so it is not entirely clear whether these varieties should really be counted as fruits or vegetables.

When and how to sow exotic seeds?

Most exotic seeds are sown between March and May. This sowing is done indoors to ensure the highest possible temperature. The soil in which the seeds are sown should be kept moist. Preferably also cover it to keep the temperature and humidity right. For the exact sowing period, always consult the back of the packaging.

Germinating tropical seeds

Germinating tropical seeds often requires a little more work and precision. The seeds need an even higher temperature and the difference between day and night temperatures should only be minimal. In addition, seeds are often placed in full sun before germination, both for warmth and light. Some seeds cannot just be put in the ground, but must first be notched or filed, as they are too hard to go up by themselves.

Taking care of exotic plants

Exotic plants need a position in full sun in most cases. In addition, a nutritious soil is a must. Exotics are used to high humidity. Drying out of the soil should be avoided. Many exotic plants need reasonably moist soil, without being wet.
