Guest Andreas Eils Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Casey, great work! From sowing to flowering in only two and a half months! Should I dwell in a flat with a balcony ever again in future I will try to grow them as well. I love their flowers! Thanks for showing! As for pollinating devil´s claws I have no clue unfortunately.

Defalotus Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Nice plants caseyhoo! Mine started germinating in just a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyhoo Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I soap the seed in fresh water for half ~ 1 day. Then, remove the black shell. You will see white inner part of seed. Outside it, still wrap with white transparent skin. remove it carefully, then, germination will be very fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
