Hi Jana,

Thank you for the advice :-))) Since I have extra seeds, I decided on the direct sowing technique in an equal mix of vermiculite, peat based mix and pumice. I sowed the seeds sideways, covered them with a little extra mix and placed a clear dome over the pot for a little extra humidity. Time will tell and I'll let y'all how it's coming along :-)))

I hope you will have a good germination rate and later some nice and strong seedlings :)

I wish you success!

So Fred, how are the seeds doing? I wonder if you added a thin layer of sand on top (like starting succulents) if this would help, or lightly spraying with 1/2 strength fungicide.

I haven't but I will. So far so good but since it's only been a few days, time will tell and (hopefully) when they do germinate, I'll send pictures. Thank you for the advise :-)))

I am starting some evansiae seeds too , floating :-)))

Beatrice,

Good luck and please let us know how they're doing :-)))

of course Fred :-))
