There are generally two methods for planting tea trees. One is to plant the seeds directly, and the other is to first cultivate seedlings before transplanting them. But no matter which method is used, the first step is always to grow the seedlings. Typically, the tea seeds have to be screened and then soaked in warm water for three to five days to induce germination.
But with Maphario, things were much simpler. First of all, back on Junshan Island, Maphario had only collected the finest tea seeds, completely ignoring any inferior ones. Upon returning to Yunzhong City, he could immediately begin inducing germination. Using his special nutrient solution, the process was finished in just a single day. The tea seeds he brought back had almost all sprouted radicles and were ready for planting.
