Recived and planted these Jan. 29th, they have been shifting about the last few days. And now a first leaf!

Congrats! It is cool seeing the emergence of the first leaf.

I use the flotation method on my aulicum seeds. I got lazy and just put them in a cup of water instead of mixing the growing media. What did you use anyway? Vermiculite and perlite?

Straight vermiculite. Never been happy with the "water roots" that are started. I don't see any trsnsplant shock this way.

A surprise in the post box H. Vittatun seeds from Madrid, well we'll see in a few years.

Must remember to update as I work with my various posts.
Here is one...



8 nice plants from the 12 seeds obtained.



Two of the three seeds sent to me from Madrid have come off well.

They're looking good, Brian.

Eight months along and still going strong.
