DoomsDave Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 And, they sprouted!

The Silent Seed Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Congrats - that's a funky looking tree for sure! How long did they take to germinate? I love these things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoomsDave Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 This is a picture of my little babies, in my greenhouse. They're a bit the worse for wear after being outside for too long in the cold. They're nowhere near as tough in the baby stages as some of the other dracks. In 1,000 years, like Monover's picture?

DoomsDave Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 They popped right up. They were planted in the summer, June, I think.

Jubaea Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I really like D. draco. I have grown these from seed and some of the ones that a I grew have bloomed fortunately none of the ones that I kept have bloomed yet. I hope the ones i kept get tall before branching. It looks like your seedlings are a bit stretched out. Are they getting enough light? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like your seedlings are a bit stretched out. Are they getting enough light? They're struggling to survive my mistreatment. I put them in too much light and cold, and they burned, so now they're recovering from that. A little stretch won't hurt them, so my succulent pals say. Let's keep our forum fun and friendly.

CJ Subtropical Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 So can I assume if a plant is carrying seeds they will be fertile? I saw some on a plant at work and was wondering if the plant is a selfer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw some on a plant at work and was wondering if the plant is a selfer? Should be. Float test (likely-viable seeds will sink in water; floaters are far less likely to germinate) first. Remove as much pulp from fruits and air-dry for a few days before sowing. SoCal and SoFla; zone varies by location.

Donna Wimberly Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 I just planted 10 Draco seeds this morning. Saw a couple different methods for planting. Should I cover them with plastic wrap? I'm hopeful from seeing all the above posts that they will germinate. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
