8/10 seeds sprouted and grew their first leaves so far. It was super easy and now I have 8 cute little monstera babies.
I can see it sprouting a little, I’m so excited to see it grow and mature
I’m still waiting on sprouts but I think I can see it slowly coming out, I try not to bother the humidity dome that I have it in so it won’t mess up the humidity levels but it looks great so far
The seeds were healthy and didn’t require any special care. II expected that a few wouldn’t survive, but I was pleasantly surprised with a high germination rate. I gave some of the seedlings to coworkers who admired the plants in my room, and they all tell me the ponytail palms are thriving.
First seed has sprouted via paper towel method after a month (March 27th arrival date to April 27th sprout first observed). I found these much easier to germinate than the bird of paradise.
This one broke through on its own without scarification, but I suspect the others will have an easier time sprouting now that I've found the best spot to scarify. The seed has a distinct circle where it has separated from its flower, and there's a line that goes down the side and ends at a dot that may protrude. This is the point where the seed will sprout and will be the best spot to sand or file lightly (don't go too deep as this will damage the tissue the sprout will grow from).
I planted my ponytail palm seeds a couple of months ago and they have been growing beautifully! I can't wait to continue watching them grow!
Planted paper Whites about a week ago and I’m finally getting little sprouts from it. Super excited for them!
Came quickly and safely. Very worried to start these seeds and waste them but gonna bite the bullet and try. Wish me luck! Be advised about seed count.
had some extras so I'm trying two growing methods...as always, packed and shipped well in nice packaging
first two seeds popping after 2 weeks in 3" dome planters on heat mats
Planted two months ago and already moved into a larger pot!
These took some trial and error to germinate, but I've finally managed to produce success.
I germinated using the paper towel method, wetting with hydroponic nutrient solution, and it required I work in several stages:
- For week 1, I put the seeds in wet paper towels as-is—I did not scarify the seeds or remove the orange hairs at the tip.
- For week 2, I removed the orange hairs, which were basically falling off on their own at this point, and replaced the bag and paper towels with fresh ones.
- I left this as-is for multiple weeks, replacing paper towels and bags weekly. I had a white fuzz building up on the seeds that I would gently brush away with a soft-bristled toothbrush each week when I changed the paper towels.
- Once the seeds started to bulge, I would lightly file the tips (not enough to show white) and I had sprouts within a week.
This is the third batch I've tried and have 3 of 5 sprouting in this batch after a month and a week (March 3rd to April 13th). This is a major improvement over the previous batches that had 0% germination and one batch scarified from the beginning actually rotted hollow.
Note that seedling 2 was not scarified at all in this batch and had to break through the tip on its own. I'm not as confident in this one's survival as 4 and 5 which were both scarified and are healthy color all the way through.
So convenient. Love being able to get everything together.
Most of the seeds germinated early. All of the monstera started coming up very quickly!
It’s been 4 days since I started these under a grow light. They are growing so much.I’m so excited. Thanks to Plantflix.
It’s been 10 days under my grow light and these babies have broken through the soil.
Only one out of 10 seeds germinated and I used heated blanket with temp monitor which kept the soil at 80 degrees, grow light and the green house set up and soil from plantflix :((
I'm still waiting on the results, rooting for a home run 💪🙌🪴
