I dont want to say i have a secret to them but this is how i do it

i soak in warm water 24-36 hrs till nice and plump. Then i carfully plant I like to use a seed starting potting mix with extra perlite in it. i use 4-6 in pots and 3-6 seeds in a pot. cover with 1/4 in soil only. i water from the bottom. i have been told by the experts NO FOOD FOR 3 MONTHS. this was a shock to me i always fed mine but they grew so slow. They said NO DIRECT SUN LIGHT till they have 3 true sets of leaves. at that point you can pot in its own pot and MOST IMPORTAIN do not i mean do not let dry out in the first few weeks for sure they are developing feeder roots and if they dont they will die.. BUT they cant be wet they will mold and rot. Sounds like impossible? NOT AT ALL use a spriter bottle and carefully just dampen the soil every few days feel it and i mean dwin 1 inch feel if it is wet or not.

now after you planted the seeds i have had them sprout and up out of the soil in 3 days and some have taken 2 weeks DONT GIVE UP the "hat" or husk might stick on the emerging plant if you decide to help remove it sprits with little water to soften it and use tweezers or tooth pics i have pulled so meny right out of the oil its unbeleaveable and i have sqashed them by sqeezing to hard also.

ANYONE have any better info please share we all can use more knoledge!!

spreadsheet up to date
here is a great tool to have lot of info on here http://www.adeniumsindia.com/g...

It is up to you but i figured most want to save as much as they can and that would be shipping all together. if you want them sooner i can send them. I will leave it up to you.

If any one wants there seeds i have in stock (or plants in stock) and want them shipped soon just let me know i will do that.

The only thing i want to see is how the seeds i started fared to see how the germination rate looks ant im guessing ill see babies in the next 3-5 days.

YEA i thought about then they are great for the roots and multibranching keeping them shorter they are show quality BUT last order i spent 40-50 per plant and ouch it hurt sending 660.00 for a small box of plants!! that is why this time i tried to figure the best rate for shipping and how many plants got the permit and looked in to NICE looking plants that we can afford and not the newest high cost ones. When i decided to do this i said i wanted to hit as many in the 12-15 dollar range and top at 20.00 MAX but if some one wants a 65.00 one ill order it but not me this time.
Thumb of 2012-05-01/chefmike92/5328be

Thumb of 2012-05-01/chefmike92/649ef9

these are great but bottom pic are about 35-60 per plant and the top is 300.00-400.00 plus shipping
