The most effective temperatures are between +5 to +12☌, even if germination has started. After this cooling-period the sowing may not be immediately exposed to high temperatures. The sowing is kept moist, and the melting snow helps to destroy the shell, which is advantageous for the germinating seedling. The temperature below it usually keeps in the optimum range of –4 to 0☌. It is beneficial to cover the sowing with snow during the cooling-period. It is not so important if the temperature is higher or lower during the cooling period, but the cooling period has to be prolonged because the synthesis of the germination inducer, hormon-like acid, slows down or comes to a standstill. Colder temperatures of –5☌ are only advantageous for most species of the Ranunculus family. After this period the sowing must be kept at a cold temperature (between –4 and +4☌) for another 4–6 weeks. The sowing must be kept warm (about +18 to +22☌) and moist for the first 2–4 weeks. (1) Cold-germinators are still referred to as frost-germinators, although this isn’t quite correct.
