This can be achieved under the following conditions: Temperatures: day: 20-24°C night: 10-14°C (very importantly for the germination is a difference from minimum 10°C) light: 70 watts HQI (EXTERNALLY, seed distance 45 cms) air humidity: 70% substrate: humid cotton pads (very effective in this species) water: ONLY DISTILLED WATER !!! My space-saving cultivation method (5ml pots) with pure cotton pads: The first 2 seeds germinates after 4 weeks on January 27th, 2011: Here are the first 2 seedlings. Please sorry for the bad quality, but they are really very tiny: In the next few weeks, I will document the growth of the seedlings .... best regards Tobias Edited March 27, 2011 by Tobias Kulig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moof Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 The seeds my friend and I ordered from you germinated yesterday, with an equal rate - 2 seeds at the moment, but looks like at least 2-3 more seeds will germinate. Unfortunately can't post any pics, don't have the macro needed. Maybe later, when the seedlings will grow up a bit. I must say I'm very happy!

mobile Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Congratulations. I wish that I could get good germination of this species but I guess that the seeds that I've had on a damp cotton wool pad since last May are not going to germinate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravanzia Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Hi Tobias, Do you keep the seedlings quite wet (as picture) and in sandy mix? Regards, Darren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Kulig Posted February 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Hi Darren, yes, the "big stones" are very fine quartz sand (95%) and a little, little bit peat. And always good humid (or wet, how do you say). The seedlings love it! The tiny stolones are very good in it... Best regards Tobias Edited February 24, 2011 by Tobias Kulig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravanzia Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Hi, Do you think silica sand will be as good for seedlings? Regards, Darren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Kulig Posted February 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hi Darren, yes, absolutly! My big plants are grow very good in a peat-sand-mix 1:1! I don´t use sphagnum (but 1 pot for testing). My generally mix are sand-peat. In moment for seedlings i take very fine silica sand (with a bit peat), it´s fine for the tiny stolones. When the seedlings are many bigger I will put them in 1:1. best regards Tobias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
