Pizzicara Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 How's everyones seed doing? Anybody plant them yet? What % success rate did you get? Just wonderin so as I could compare the ones I sent out to the ones I kept and planted. I got a 66% success rate, don't know if that's any good for oreos :?

Guest Aidan Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Well, on this side of the pond we are only just about thinking of sowing seed. Did you stratify the seed prior to sowing? If not, that may explain the low germination rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 I've got lots of seeds under growlights at the moment. The oreophila based plants tend to ripen first and so can be stratified and sown a couple of weeks before the other crosses. I've got some (oreophila x catesbaei) x oreophila, (oreophila x minor) x oreophila and oreophila x purpurea crosses which are all germinating well.

Guest PiranhaPlant Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Mine germinated along with leuco and flava. They are not just forming their 2nd pitchers and one of them has formed two pitchers at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Crane Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Wotcha John, The seed you sent came up about 4 weeks ago and since then they have steadily been germinating..I have them as oreo A & B and both types have had approx the same success rate you have encountered....Your babies are doing fine John!! By the way did you have to move home or did the landlord sort out the marital problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
