I'm so impressed. How do you do that? I can't grow anything from seed and I'm failing again with some adenium seeds. A wonderful person mailed me some, I followed the directions. I think I saw a couple sprout so I got my glasses and tried to do that 'remove the brown seed cover' thing, it was a massive failure. The little seedlings came up out of the dirt. I stuffed them back in and gave up on getting the seed cover off. It seems to me that if they can't do it by themselves then they haven't evolved very far. Then, the dogs knocked the pots over, I was taking them out on the roof every morning and bringing them in at night in case it rained. So now, I don't see anything happening in one pot and there are still 2 green shoots covered in brown stuff in the other pot. I'm not touching them. I spray them twice a day and walk them in and out but I'm not very confident that anything will grow. Nothing ever grows for me from seed, I feel like a big dummy about it.
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
