Need help on H. reticulatum seeds germination.
Comments (10)Nititii, As soon as the pods cracks open I would remove them and sow them in water (your choice of germinating methods of course). If you haven't worked with reticulatum seeds or crosses before you will find they are very fat. I did some crosses with Autumn Pink Lady (Japanese) as well as Santos and the seeds were all as fat as good be and they took the better part of 6 weeks to germinate. I thought for sure they never would but then like a timer went off, they all started to germinate at once! I have a couple dozen seeds now growing with little striped leaves!! Good luck, âºâºâºDonna I just wanted to add, that I have an Evergreen about to open with 6 flowers and I was thinking that I would basically make the same cross, only using Autumn Pink Lady. My pollen is frozen so I will have to dig it out when the flowers open. I also have a Misty blooming but she is extremely pale ( as usual) so I'm not sure if I will put Autumn Rose Lady on her or not, but I might to pink up up!! I also have a Limona that should be open in several days. I have all sorts of frozen pollen so I guess I won't be able to resist making a few crosses in the middle of summer! If mine take, in about 4 years we will have to compare flower results! I'm being very optimistic I know... Here is a picture of my Autumn Pink Lady. My two bulbs have rooted but no signs of any leaves yet....âºâºâº This post was edited by dondeldux on Fri, Aug 1, 14 at 10:34...See MoreNeed help trying to germinate old old seed
Comments (2)Just to let everyone know, I am going to post this question on a couple of my yahoo groups, too, so if you see it other places, that's why. Thanks, Carol B...See MoreLooking for Moringa Drum stick seeds, can anyone help
Comments (3)Did you ever find the Moringa seeds you were looking for? If not check out my website: www.ahealthyleaf.com. I sell both the standard Moringa Seeds and PKM1 hybrid seeds. If you are interested in getting seed pods you definitely need to plant the PKM1 seeds as they go to flower and produce seed pods much sooner than the standard seeds. Moringa is amazing! Also check out my youtube channel for instructional video on Moringa if you are interested. Best of luck growing Moringa!...See MoreNeed help with mowing vs. letting grass seed germinate
Comments (3)For those of you living in SoCal, there is another place called Ontario. It gets cold there and they have different grasses. But Southern Ontario is not very specific. To me that means "south of Detroit." Can you please name the nearest big place to you? Jumping right to the question, you can let the grass grow and grow and grow while the new seedlings come in. When you bring it back down from, say, 9 inches high, first use a string trimmer to take only a little off the top. Then a few days later, do that again and take a little lower. Keep doing that until it's 5 inches tall. Then you can mow it back to 4 inches with your lawn mower set to the highest setting. That should be your mowing height for the summer. You learned a lot, I'm sure, from aerating, top dressing, and reseeding. Your location give you a benefit of being able to seed almost any time of year. Us southerners (USA) have to watch the heat. We cannot seed with good results in the spring. Also you do not need to aerate or top dress. Of the two, top dressing is the biggest mistake. Grass seed grows at the top surface of the soil. It does not have to be buried under soil, straw, or anything else. All it needs is good contact with the soil. Further, adding top soil will absolutely change your drainage every time you do it. Worst case is you build a dam that prevents runoff from the house from draining away and it flows into the basement. I have pictures of top dressing gone wild - 10-12 inches high. You can aerate if you want, but it doesn't need to be done. Mother Nature does not aerate when She seeds grasses. She walks cattle and other grazing and browsing animals over it to press the seed into the soil. Here are the basics of lawn care. Watering: Deep and infrequent. Deep means 2.5 cm every time. Infrequent depends on the temperature. Search this forum for more. Mowing: Mulch mow at the mower's highest setting every week Fertilizer: First fertilizer of the year is Victoria Day, then Labour Day, then Rememberance Day....See Morehldzion
