Solomon's Seal prefers light, slightly acidic soil and will grow better under partially shady conditions.

MAINTAINING
Solomon's Seal can be difficult to germinate, and may take one month or longer to germinate. To enhance germination rates, a three week period of cold, moist stratification is recommended. Seeds can be sown 1/4" deep in covered flats or shallow containers, moistened placed into the refrigerator. If such space is not available, mix seeds with a small amount of moistened vermiculite and placed into the refrigerator. Check often to ensure that mixture remains moist but is not soggy.

After removing from refrigerator, select a warm, indoor location for your container while awaiting germination. Be patient, it may take considerable time for seeds to come up-perhaps as long as several months.

Once seeds have started to come up, gradually increase exposure to sunlight. Harden plants to prepare for outdoor transplanting by placing containers outside during spring or early summer afternoons.
