I Need To Pot up These Seeds HELP!!!!
You spouted them in paper towels?
yes and i need help!!!! I was not expecting them to sprout in three days but they did and they are rosamond x l amour and i want them to LIVE
3 days, boy that's fast.
I pot in a good fluffy seed mix with the little sprouts pointing down. Just deep enough for them to be covered well with soil and water them in. Then I place the seed flats in a zip-loc bag to keep them moist and keep those nasty fungus gnats out. Once I see they're starting to break the soil surface I take them out of the bag.
yes I had this brilliant idea, i would hang my bags on the sliding glass door it is always warm there I turned them side ways so the moisture would drip down into the corner of the bag and when the sun hit them it would condensate I guess it was a brilliant plan this was quicker than I had planned on. I have 8 ziploc bags full of 5-7 sprouts
I'm going to go peel some more right now and do it that way.
Can I do the Datura seeds like this someone?
Gosh I just peeled some seeds last night and Chele told me to tape them on my window. I better rush home and do it! LOL
Where did you get such good seeds, Springsong? You are going to have lots of pretty pink babies!!
Sue you plant them sprout down? Is that the root? I am tryig tremember from last year.
Julianne I'm not sure I get millions of dat seeds to germinate but once they get to be seedlings andI transplant they get fussy, You can always try a few and see
Ty springsong for responding. The only thing is, I dont know what I should do to make that happen.
Maybe someone can help me one day.

Julianne I put mine in potting soil and just wait they always come up now getting them togrow is another storyLOL
There IS something to be said for that sunny window thing! LOL One year I was late starting seeds and taped like 200 bags to my dining room window. In a few days time, I could not pot fast enough! If I were smart I would do it this way every year. It sure shaves down the germ time. :) Congrats to you SS. Done planting yet? giggle
