Growing Jamaican Sorrel Seeds
We recommend soaking seeds for 24 hours in warm water before sowing.
Jamaican Sorrel seeds should be planted in rich organic soil buried at around one quarter inch. Like most seeds, Jamaican Sorrel seeds should be kept moist and warm until sprouts are noticed. Jamaican Sorrel seeds should be planted in soil with good drainage but good moisture retention as well. When Jamaican Sorrel seeds sprout, transplant young plant to larger growing areas and gently mulch.
