Here is the BEST Time to Start Acacia Seeds in Oklahoma (2023 Guide)

Do you want to grow acacia seeds in Oklahoma, but don’t know when to start them?

Starting acacia seeds is not as easy as it seems.

Here’s why:

  • Acacia Seeds must be consistently watered, receive at least 8 hours of sunlight a day, & be kept at room temperature of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

So if you don’t consistently water them they won’t germinate. If they aren’t in a room that is at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit they won’t sprout. And if it receives 8 hours of sunlight the plant itself won’t grow.

  • Because Oklahoma’s growing season is not long enough, acacia seeds cannot be sowed outside and should only be started indoors.

Because of this, I’m going to teach you the ideal time to start acacia seeds indoors in Oklahoma:

When to Start Acacia Seeds Indoors

Depending on the type of acacia, it takes roughly 21 days (3 weeks) to grow acacia from seed indoors before you can transplant them into your garden. It could take 8 weeks for your acacia to bloom!

The approximate date of when you should start your acacia seeds indoors can be found by:

  • Finding the first average frost date HERE
  • And then subtract 21 days from it

You can also find the average first frost date for most major cities in the below chart that I have created:

To help ensure the greatest success of your acacia seeds germinating you should:

  • Use a heat mat to ensure the gardening pot remains at 70 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Use a grow light to control how much light your acacia seeds receive
  • Water your seeds with a spray bottle to ensure your seeds are not overwatered

It should also be noted that you will not want to introduce your acacia plants into your garden until 2 weeks after your first frost or else your plant will potentially die or not bloom
