What’s germinating this week @happypalms

[happypalms]

A few more popping up. Some nice little dypsis minuta that will be well treasured. A few more Areca mandacanii, some pritchardia seeds kindly donated by Colin Wilson. A few chamaedorea from home grown seeds and a couple of imported seeds.

Always something good coming up, if you put enough in sooner or later they come up. The minuta seeds were from my own plants. I was  worried if they would be viable. Worry no more after germinating them, but they did take a long time to pop up!

Hi Steve I managed to get four schippia up and growing, I was pretty happy about that. No bizzy yet they take a long time down here for me. But by all means let me know if have any spare schippia seeds that’s for sure! Cheers Richard

The Bizzy seeds are easy enough to germinate but just make sure they are in a very very deep pot.  In a shaltow pot they dont survive too well

I just put them in a ten inch container and put them in the hothouse. They will pop up I’ve done hundreds of bizzies before. It’s the potting up part you have to be careful with those tender roots are the one, they definitely dislike disturbance.
