If the moss or paper towel dries out, spritz it with some water to keep the persimmon seeds moist.3) Persimmon seedlings form a long taproot early on, so they need to be grown in tall plastic containers that will allow the root to form without cramping it. Sow one seed per pot in sterile potting mixture, and make sure the pot has drainage holes at the base. Plant the seeds at a depth of 2 inches, and then set the pots in a warm, bright location. 4) Use a heated propagator to keep the temperature above 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Tiny persimmon seedlings should appear in six to eight weeks.Germinación del caqui:1) Las semillas de caqui tienen una tasa de germinación relativamente baja, del 25 al 35 por ciento, por lo que es mejor comenzar a sembrar varias semillas para aumentar la probabilidad de éxito con cada cultivo.2) Envuelva las semillas en musgo sphagnum humedecido o en una toalla de papel, luego colóquelas en una bolsa de plástico o un frasco dentro del refrigerador durante tres meses. Si el musgo o la toalla de papel se secan, rocíelos con un poco de agua para mantener húmedas las semillas de caqui.3) Las plántulas de caqui forman una raíz pivotante larga desde el principio, por lo que deben cultivarse en recipientes de plástico altos que permitan que la raíz se forme sin apretujarla. Siembre una semilla por maceta en una mezcla para macetas esterilizada y asegúrese de que la maceta tenga orificios de drenaje en la base. Plante las semillas a una profundidad de 2 pulgadas y luego coloque las macetas en un lugar cálido y luminoso.4) Use un propagador calentado para mantener la temperatura por encima de los 75 grados Fahrenheit. Las pequeñas plántulas de caqui deberían aparecer en seis a ocho semanas.
