JB,
No, I planted a patch of 10 seeds at which only 3 germinated. That means 7 lie in dormancy state up to 8 months before I throw them out. I then purchased 20 more seeds and planted. In about a few weeks, I got 4 germinated. Leaving 16 more in dormancy. They may germinate as the paper that came with them said (in 8 months). Also I forgot to mention that we are talking about Aloe Poly seeds. I have heard they are harder to grow.
I am pretty lucky with seeds so I figured why not give these a try. Also If only one grows it pays for itself many times, These guys are expensive.
My Clivia are now showing a white bump sticking out. Meaning they are germinating. These guys are also expensive. The variegated type. I usually get all of what I ordered to germinate. I purchased 10 seeds so I believe I will get 10 plants. The hard part came in one year for me. The last batch I lost all of them to a base fungus. This time I will be more careful. That fungus also attacked my older established Clivia that was 15 years old. Grumbling
