However, I have never grown these from seed before so what I need to know is - well, everything really lol. 1) When do I sow the seeds 2) Do I use general cp compost 3) Do the seeds need covering withy a layer of compost, sand etc 4) Anything else I may need to know lol Thanks in advance for any info that comes forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexis Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Just remember the seeds are light, so don't sneeze on them or try to move a sown tray in windy weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prized Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) I would consider putting just peat moss on the top of the pot, in order to avoid seedlings developing outside the soil I'm dreaming about wonderful hybrids for the next years...I'm doing my best for that!!!

Carnivine Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Well, I had my seeds in the fridge over christmas for around 6 weeks, and set them in early January. To date, nothing has happened, not a thing. Am I being impatient or should they have started to sprout by now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To date, nothing has happened, not a thing. Am I being impatient or should they have started to sprout by now? You're a bit early yet. I can't remember when my seeds germinated last year, but I'd be surprised to see anything before April. None of my seeds this year has sprouted yet either.

Alexis Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 What conditions are they planted in? Too early for germination if they're in a cool greenhouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ada Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Way too early for up here,look at the end of april or early may,unless it stays mild.Then they could be a bit earlier if in a greenhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnivine Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Thanks for the advice. They are actually in a cool greenhouse so I will wait and be patient lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
