| Germination | 1. Pour warm water into a thermos and add the pistachio seeds. Close the thermos and allow the seeds to soak for three days. Remove the seeds and set them on a paper towel. 2. Combine equal parts of peat moss and vermiculite. Moisten the mixture and allow it to drain. Pour it into a plastic bag and push the pistachio seeds into it until they are completely enveloped. 3. Seal the plastic bag and place it in the refrigerator for 45 days. 4. Pour equal amounts of peat moss and vermiculite into planting pots and water it until the water drains from the bottom. 5. Push the pistachio seeds 1 inch deep into the soil and cover them with soil. Place the pots on a heat mat, set at +25C. Provide bright light, but not direct sun, and spray the soil with water from a misting bottle to keep it moist until the seeds germinate. Germination times are variable.
