Sunflower seeds: How deep to plant germinated seeds
Comments (5)cindjo2~ When you say "plant an inch or so deep" ... do you mean I cover the seed shell that's still encasing the cortyledons an inch or so deep?(in other words I would plant it and not see anything above ground) At that depth will the cortyledons be able to pop up through the surface? Or do you mean plant the roots down into the soil and leave the seed cased cortyledons at ground level or above? I'm so inexperienced I apologize for my dumb questions but I really want these to have a chance to survive. I wish I would have direct sown them as you say but I what started out as an experiment to see how the baggy germination method worked has left me in this situation ... well...um... because it worked! LOL caroline~Wow. Have you got a green thumb to spare?!!!! I could use one right about now. Post us some pictures when you get your sunflower heads!! I hope I can get mine to do what yours are doing....See Moregerminating plumeria seeds
Comments (3)Some one here should know, I do have 4 plumeria, never had flowers yet, I will expect them to flower in the Spring when it gets warmer here. Google or find another search engin. I don't know this, plant your seeds as soon as they show that they are ripe, I can't even tell you color they will be. I just do it by instinct. Don't plant them too deep, and they may need warmth to germinate,64F. now I will look it up for my self. don't allow the temperature to go below 50F or they will croak. I have more instructions but my hands has just given out. I found this information from the Plant book from A to Z It even told me how to propagate from a cutting, and what kind of soil, this is rare information in a plant book, so I can recommend this book, Norma...See MoreGerminating Plumeria seeds, but it's been over 90 degrees outside
Comments (9)Hi plumienewbiesd, the black jet/nozzle on the top spray the water like umbrella its for watering the pots. uunder the black is the blue jet/nozzle its for humidity (spraying the water in very light quantity). In the following picture at left top picture you can see 1) 2 Programmable Irrigation Controller working with batteries. The first is GARDENA and the second GALCON. I use the first for my plants and the second only for my plumeria seedlings. 2. On the Controller is connected F20 plastic black pipe (you can see it on the ground)which going between the pots. 3. with F20 is connected a thiner black plastic pipe and to the end is connected with the black jet/nozzle and another thiner black pipe is connected with the blue jet/nozzle. With the above automatic watering and spraying system, 3 minutes every day is well enough for watering and all my plumerias pots and to get the needed humidity. Of course every 5-7 days I fertilize the seedlings with a can. sorry because my English ys n't in high level, I hope to be understood....See MorePlumeria seed peroxide germination
Comments (3)Germinating 8 more, so thought I'd add photos of the process. I realized yesterday that the previously germinated seeds should've been planted just slightly exposed. I lifted the four that were buried too deep ... one had already lost its tender root (upper right), so now I have 8 left from that batch. I also learned that fertilization begins after a full root ball has developed....See Morekevabear
