Sow about 3-5 cm deep in well-drained nursery beds or deep polybags and keep moist; germination is slow and erratic, usually taking 30 days or more, sometimes longer. Grow the seedlings on for a season and transplant when 30-50 cm tall at the onset of the monsoon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51052971786486,"sku":"SED-TRE-TERMINALIA-005","price":359.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/nurserylive-seeds-terminalia-chebula-harad-hirada-0-5-kg-seeds-16969376891020.jpg?v=1782714911","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/terminalia-chebula-harad-hirada-0-5-kg-seeds","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
