me lol too.

Congratulations!! I know exactly how oyu feel! Enjoy watching them grow.

Lucy

Thanks Lucy! This is gonna be real fun. I wonder how long they take to grow. Like say a foot. How long will that take are? Are they slow growers or fast growers? Do they need food too just like there big plants? I ahve so many questions. I think I read somewhere it takes two years fro a bloom. Is this right? Barb

Congrats on your first seedlings! I know how exciting it is for all of us, how are we going to act when they get buds if we already go nuts when the sprout, lol? Mine have been pretty steady growers so far, not super fast but not sllllloooooooww. But that is good because I don't want them to get too big in the house. I couldn,t tell you how long it would be until they were a foot tall. It probably really depends on if you start fertilizing and giving them bigger pots. I would say not to fertilize or maybe just fertilize very weakly until you can get them outside, unless you have the room to let them grow in the house. But don't do anything with them until they get a few sets of true leaves.

Congrats, Barb! I think it depends on cross & growing conditions, weather variables. My seedling bloomed the first year. It was a white single.

Barb I have a cross from Brenda that is the fastest grower. Then I have a cross from M. Gottschalk, Aborea and she said it takes less water and fertilizer and is also a slow grower. I believe it really depends on the seeds - crosses.
I tried to fertilize very deluted and they did not like it with the 2nd set of true leafs. So I will wait. I got the room for them to grow indoors but they wear not ready yet.

Lucy how did the Arbora seeds germinate for you? I have some of those coming my way and want any tips I can get. I have read they are hard to grow from seed.

Shawn believe it or not, I treat them all the same. I let them talk to me lol. The weird part is, once I knew about their different requirements...they seem to have stopped growing along with the others roflmao.

Just like the Sangs from you. Doing GREAT!

All jokes aside. I do get in touch with the plants. They keep me pretty busy that way ha ha ha ha

I had them in with 3 other x's and like I said Shawn. They all got the same amount of moisture. Heat from my Monitor lol and during the day sunshine on the window sill. Until the germinated.

Hope you are not more confused now ha ha ha ha ha

Good luck with your seeds. Just treat them as special as any other seeds are :-)

Lucy

Congrats Barb and Lucy! I got a couple of seeds from Karyn that I should have planted yesterday, but didn't get home till late so will today. So in how many days do they sprout? I do not use bottom heat.

Eloise mine took from 1/12/09 to 1/27/09 to sprout. I did use bottom heat. they are fun to grow from seed. Good luck Eloise have fun!

Thanks for the tips Lucy.

Eloise it usually takes about 1-3 weeks for mine to sprout. I do not use bottom heat either. And like someone else said....if you get some that do not sprout, dump them outside when its warm and a surprise may pop up.
Shawn

Congrats, sorry been sick and have't felt like trying to focus on reading anything. I just got back to work and found a seed packet laying here John was supposed to mail for me to you. I will get it out on Monday since they have run already. Glad I found it.
