What is Cinnamon Tree Seeds?
Cinnamon tree seeds, specifically *Cinnamomum verum* seeds, allow you to cultivate your own cinnamon tree at home. These are viable seeds sourced from mature cinnamon trees, promising a rewarding gardening experience. Typically, the seeds are brown and about 1-2 cm in diameter. The germination process requires specific conditions, including warm temperatures (25-30°C) and consistently moist soil. Home gardeners, spice enthusiasts, and those interested in sustainable living find these seeds appealing. Common applications include cultivating cinnamon for personal use, adding ornamental value to gardens, and even small-scale cinnamon production. Sowing depth should be around 1 cm, and the ideal soil pH is between 6.0 and 7.0. These are not hybrid seeds, so you can save seeds from your grown tree.

Buying Guide - How to Choose
When buying cinnamon tree seeds, consider the source. Ensure the seeds are sourced from a reputable supplier like Nilgiri Stores to guarantee authenticity and viability. Check for recent harvest dates to ensure freshness. Look for seeds that are uniform in color and size, avoiding any that appear shriveled or damaged. Before planting, soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to improve germination rates. Use well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Provide ample sunlight (at least 6 hours per day). Be patient, as germination can take several weeks. Also, note that cinnamon trees require a warm, humid climate to thrive, so consider your local climate before purchasing. It is important to note that some seeds may not germinate. This is normal.
