« Reply #5 on 26 Apr, 2007, 1:13 »Hello all,

Ive got lots and lots of these coming up: well over 10, so I think I might have beaten you all http://s3.images.proboards.com/tongue.gif http://s3.images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif

My method of germinating them was to fill up a pot where they will be parmenently growin with 1:1 peat, sand, put it in a very sunny place(about full sun) plenty of water(water tray always full) and a clear, re-sealable plastic bag over the pot to aid humidity, as this helps germination. It takes them around 4 weeks or more to germinate.

After about 5 weeks or so(or after you are satisfied with the amount that has germinated) cut a hole in the plastic bag. Over the next week, gradually roll it down and after about 5 or so days, remove the bag completely. Mine are still very small: I remoevd the baga round a week or so ago, but Ive still got a few more coming up. Soon I will be thinning out until Ive only got around 8 or so plants.

I hope that some of you find this useful!

« Reply #6 on 27 Apr, 2007, 23:14 »Thanks Dino for the info. But will the hot sunlight boil the water in it especially the hot temperature in the afternoon? In our climate this always happen and made the water very hot, what I worry it might cook the seeds!
