Soaking seeds

teddy, I have grown Daturas for years, both in Wyoming and Nebraska. They will not set buds in the fall since the sun is not strong enough and the nights are cool. Neither will they do so growing in the house. You can grow them to be put in the garden next summer for a head start.

What should I do with the ones I have soaking? Should I throw them away?

teddy, no don't throw them away. You can still continue to grow them when they sprout if you have a sunny window. They just won't bloom until next season. When they sprout, pot them in a 4" pot and place under light, then outdoors until the threat of frost. Before frost bring them in to continue to grow. You can trim them back if too big.

When it gets cold, the windows are not a good place to put anything you want to grow, in our house the windowsills are very cold. I have the flourescent lamp like what I have on them now, will that be enough? They don't seem to be doing anything, the ones in the pot rotted away, so that part was a bust, and these are not doing a dang blasted thing. I don't know if I am just not patient enough to grow them or what but I don't see any roots at all. I have been keeping them moist but not soggy, I come home from work and the paper towel has dried out and then I added more water. Any advice besides patience?

Success, as you can see, some of the moonflower seeds have started to sprout, can I use the same pots that I used for the morning glories last winter? How much bigger do I let them get in the baggie before I pot them up?

teddy,
Dripple a hole with a pencil and plant the roots downwards. Plant the seed just under the soil. You don't want the roots to get longer before planting since they break easily.
