Hello all! I was wondering if someone could help me with a little advice regarding cold stratification. I started the process using two different species from seed, those being Japanese Maple and Chinese Juniper. After soaking the seeds overnight, I placed them in the refrigirator and mixed them in a clear ziploc bag using a sand/perlite medium. My questions are: 1. Do the bags need to be sealed completely, or cracked open at the top? & 2. I've layed the bags out flat in the refrigirator, but is it OK to stack the bags on top of eachother? Anyone's suggestions or advice would be helpful as I am just getting started with the whole Bonsai experience. Thanks and have a great day!

Cold Stratification
DON'T leave a crack in your bags. Sure you can stack your bags on top of eachother. They don't need to be layed flat either. I suspect that if you left any of your bags open it's too late for this to help.
Either way, you should be done by late Sept./Oct. depending on your seed's provenience.
Good luck. If you have any other questions feel free to "D-mail" me.
Sincerely,
