I received Coral Tree seed from a very generous member and I would like to know how I can start these. The seeds are so large and quite soft, I don't want to drench them or have them rot. If anyone has any advice please let me know!
I appreciate all comments.

and go down to Erythrina.
Hope that helps!

I too received seeds and was not sure what to do, so I just went with my gut instinct and it worked. I popped them into (barely covered) Hoffman's soiless seed starting mixture, each in a 1X1X1.5 pot (planted them with a bunch of other seeds in a 72 cell flat) Moistened the medium, placed the dome on top and made sure that they didn't dry out. I kept them in a heated GH, but did not provide bottom heat. One of them sprouted in 12 days, and the other in 14! I'm so happy :) Good luck with yours!!! Gretchen

Thank you for your responses. I only have 3 seeds so I didn't want to screw up. Thanks a million! Think Spring!
