Summary: This study examines the effect of soil composition and light influence on the germination of Cola acuminata and concludes that light exposure has no effect on germination, but the seeds respond to the water storage capacity of the soil. The authors conclude that a mixture of sandy and humus soil is optimal for germination, and their experiments also show that Cola acuminata germinates successfully even in complete darkness.
