Mexican Red Bird of Paradise Seed Germination Step 1: Use sandpaper to gently sand the outer surface of each seed. This is called scarification of the seed and helps the seed absorb water for germination. Step 2: Soak the scarred seeds of the Mexican bird of paradise in a bowl of warm water for several hours. Step 3: Plant the soaked seeds in well-drained soil in a sunny location, or plant the seeds in a container filled with regular potting soil. Seeds should be planted 1/4 to 1/2 inch deep. Water the planted seeds to moisten the soil, and keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate. When Mexican bird of paradise seedlings are several inches tall, allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. As mature plants, Mexican bird of paradise prefers dry soil between waterings and is drought tolerant. Thank you so much for visiting my store!!!!
