How Can I Germinate Red Papaya Seeds?

Soak the seeds in water for 24-48 hours to soften the seed coat and encourage germination. Then, fill a container with a well-draining potting mix and plant the seeds about 1/2 inch deep in the soil. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and place the container in a warm, sunny location. The ideal temperature for germination is between 22 to 26 degrees Celsius. After 2-4 weeks, the seeds should start to sprout, and you can begin to care for your papaya seedlings. Once germinated, the plant will need a lot of sunlight.
