Default Re: What seeds have germinated for you?

Bump!

Wow thought this thread could do with an airing, looks good

I've had success with:
M Formosana
M Balbisiana
M Sikkimensis
M Sikkimensis 'Manipur'
M Sikkimensis 'Daj Giant'
M Ornata
M Itinerans
M Velutina

and plenty of failures I can tell you.

I have to say the Mr Bungalow method works for me, especially with the nitrozyme. I've heard about scarifying the seeds first, but everytime I've tried the seed has gone mouldy or it's cracked in half.

We need to share more info about seed germination.

Good evening James,

Thanks for the reawakening! Has your itinerans or formosana fruited for you yet?

No they are still quite small, although the formosana is pupping like crazy.

Here's hoping one day.

I just have a small M. sikkimensis 'red tiger' that has successfully germinated two days ago. It took about 3 1/2 weeks since i planted the seeds.
