Really? I have tried them from seed lots of times, how did you do it?Deedee wrote:I Grew mine from seed in 2012
on a windowsill Blairs, the way i normaly grow seeds, seed compost and tray, Can't remember if i covered them in clingfilm but i followed the instructions, i bought them off ebay, i think i sowed 6 and only one germinated but that was enough for me. It grew bigger than the above pics and is still in leaf with this mild winter but not looking nowhere as good as the pics.Blairs wrote:Really?

Great - you have also confirmed to me that they need light to germinate. I thought that germination would be similar as Fatsia seed. Am trying some steroidal giant seeds I bought off ebay.Deedee wrote:on a windowsill Blairs, the way i normaly grow seeds, seed compost and tray, Can't remember if i covered them in clingfilm but i followed the instructions, i bought them off ebay, i think i sowed 6 and only one germinated but that was enough for me.
