Ptychosperma Macarthurii and Ptychosperma Lineare seeds

[leunerj]

I snapped one of the very brittle roots on one seed but hoping for at least 2 others to grow.

I did the same thing when I potted up a sprouted Jubaea seed. I thought I'd killed it but bizarrely enough, it has grown bigger and stronger than the other one whose root I didn't snap!?

Potted up 3 P. macarthurii yesterday with little roots. Got some extra deep square 1.4L pots for these.

You're doing really well with the P. macarthurii, none of ours have even started germinating and they're in exactly the same conditions as the lineare. Weird isn't it.

I've potted 4 Lineare so far but they're not in posh pots They're in a cut off milk carton with a divider in it. I'm a recycle addict

You wouldn't think it was possible would you...but it just shows it's worth carrying on

Look at this little baby, it's so sweet It's only just under 2 inches high and I love it. It's a P.Lineare

and at last we have at least one P. Macarthurii sprouting...

Great results Ness!

How are the carpentaria seeds coming along?

[JoelR]

Wow Brilliant. Just roots and shoots on mine so far.

I delidded a couple of Carpentaria seeds on Sunday and when I looked yesterday, they were starting to germinate.

I put stuff about Carpentarias on the Carpentaria thread

This is the same P.Lineare that's pictured earlier but now it's on it's 2nd leaf We have a few other little seedlings too but this is the tallest

Here's a couple of P.Macarthurii that will soon need separating I think. They're nice and green compared to the carpentarias

Looking good Ness

Can I suggest once again to keep the soil a bit dryer (or allow it to dry out between waterings) and you might find the do better in the cold...

[HarryandNess]

Quick update: Here's one of each, pics taken today.

Yes, will do Sean! Although, I had just watered these when I took the pics
Note to self: There's some wine left in that bottle, must go back & get it

Very healthy plants there Ness, especially the lineare. What are your overwintering plans?

[HarryandNess]

We're going to keep a close eye on temperatures Sean because last year it was still really mild in December. When it drops below 10c at night in the greenhouse, they're coming in the house. This will prevent dramatic changes in temperature during any 24 hour period. The windowsills will be full this winter!
