Good Idea. This packet of seeds is from outsidepride.com . I think I should log in there and eats their heads
. The other packet is from myseeds.com . The packets of Semp seeds have no ID
. Semps Haa.
In Aug. Sept. the daytime temps should be 25c a bit below 80F and night time about 15c about 60F. I do not think they need to come in. Outside in the shade protected should be enough.
As to the mix, Perlite has to be ground down so that the seeds do not get washed in. Sand does not offer much trouble while coir for aeration, drainage and moisture sounds good. A layer of leaf mulch on top for the seeds to sit on while with these micro fine seeds may end up in trouble if I put a layer of anything on top. In order not to disturb the seeds I think I wont squirt but give bottom water, should I put a tray with water underneath? Enclosed clear covered containers for humidity with maybe a hole in the cap for fresh air and release of moisture pressure. While nutrition, huum! the embryo kernel should have enough until they become visible. I do not think giving any kind of fertilizer at this stage sounds good. What ratio
does anyone have any idea. 10% coir: 40% sand: 50% Perlite, does that sound all right?
I have this Vermuculite something which stays soggy so not good. Peat is acidic and that also does not sound good. At least these wild euphorbias do not seem to like acidic conditions except for the rain. Funny that rain seems to do no harm but quite a bit of good.
That experiment with Semp seeds in March was not a total failure, at least they taught me something. Peat, I when breeding Tetras used it to acidify the water to a PH of 5.
I am just running the idea in front of you all. Any comments would be appreciated.

did you do that self portrait?
