Plant Propagation How to Scarify Seeds
Hard seeds such as acacia and dorinicum need to be scarified before sowing.
The hard coating of these seeds prevents water absorption and as a result the seeds will not germinate.
So, to overcome this, scarify, (break the hard outer seed coating with the use of a file, sandpaper or similar or make a small nick with a knife).
This allows water into the seed giving it a chance to start the germination process.
