Remove the pulp and soak the cleaned seeds in water for about 24 hours, then sow them 1-2 cm deep in well-drained sandy-loam beds or polybags kept moist and warm. Germination is quick, usually within 7-14 days; transplant the seedlings to the field at the onset of the rains when they are 20-30 cm tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51052087312630,"sku":"SED-TRE-AZADIRACHTA-001","price":799.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/nurserylive-seeds-azadirachta-indica-neem-0-5-kg-seeds-16968609071244.jpg?v=1782714276","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/azadirachta-indica-neem-0-5-kg-seeds","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
