Do you want to grow quince seeds in Nevada, but don’t know when to start them?
Starting quince seeds is not as easy as it seems.
Here’s why:
- Quince 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 Nevada’s growing season is not long enough, quince 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 quince seeds indoors in Nevada:

When to Start Quince Seeds Indoors
Depending on the type of quince, it takes roughly 30 days to grow quince from seed indoors before you can transplant them into your garden. And it could take 3 to 5 years for your quince to bloom!
The approximate date of when you should start your quince seeds indoors can be found by:
- Finding the last average frost date HERE
- And then subtract 30 days from it
You can also find the average last frost date for most major cities in the below chart that I have created:
To help ensure the greatest success of your quince 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 quince 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 quince plants into your garden until 2 weeks after your last frost or else your plant will potentially die or not bloom
