thanks for all the info/advice all....bottom heat certainly worked for the stictocardia from Thailand seeds :-)

soaked overnight... nicked and sown onto kitchen roll, in plastic tub with bottom heat, for a couple of days untill the stem/stalk appeared... then potted up as shown... within the next day or so the're up!... i've had to help a little bit with the other three seedling seedcoats but other than that they've been fine....

i have noticed though that if i pot seedlings up before the stalk appears, the seedcoat touches the soil and starts to fungus up... sometimes taking the seedling with it... if i wait untill the stalk is showing i can pot them up with the seedcoat above the soil... and although the seedcoat may have trouble comming off on it's own it doesn't rot so quickly.... this might just be with the few seedling i've grown... but i thought i'd mention it.
