Hi all,
Another hot day here and it was too nice to work but I did anyway.
Nev, I heard your comment on the 3 plants and just tried to prove you right, as usual you were. I have N Kautskii seed growing and plan on planting some more soon. It is a very popular plant .
Of the other seed you sent me the only ones I am waiting to germinate is Werauhia gigantea. Maybe i am expecting them to germinate quickly. Maybe they will be more like Alacantarea than Neos in germination times.
The lighting may not have helped with the pic of the trio as I took it at night without a flash. I may also have had the skakes. I will try again.
I think that I will have to do a stock take on my seedlings, I am keeping records of germination, time rate of growth and % of strike. So far so good.
Have a good one
Ian
