SoLongFairWell Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I'm really angry this week as a mouse has ate all 5 of my Roridula gorgonias seedlings that I nurtured since September. All the growing points are gone so I don't think they'll recover. Luckily I kept a few seeds in the fridge as an insurance policy. I have a question though. Is it ok to sow them in the Spring? Every article I've read says early Autumn but I don't want to wait that long to try again as I'd wonder how well the seeds will remain viable.

blueb Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Hi Richard, I'm sorry about your seedlings. I sowed mine at the end of the last May (I'm not sure about the date, but I think it was the last May). The seeds were fresh, so I had no problem with germination, they germinated with no GA3 or smoke treatment. In my experience Spring is good time too. If you sow these seeds in the Spring, I think that it won't affect seedlings. Best regards Jakub Edited February 20, 2014 by blueb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
