Hi. Do you sow all your seeds on to grit, as in the pictures above? If so, I assume you then use a spray to carry the seeds through the cracks to the soil below?
I only use a thin layer of gtit in the pots where I sow the seed but yes I do spray so the seed falls between. Please see blog on 26th and 27th March 2018.
I have exciting news (for me, at least). I have finally had some success with germinating Conophytum seeds! I have now got the smallest seedlings I have ever seen under glass. Really excited!
That is exciting news. I had given up on Conophytums from seed as I had little success. I have sown a lot of Lithops this year but have decided to try again with Conophytums next year. Have you some photos of your seedlings? Good luck with them.
I will try to take a photo tonight when I get home from work, though I would counter that they don't look like much at the moment! Can you believe that one of the seedlings, Conophytum minimum witterbegense, is from seeds I took from one of my own plants! I hope it makes it through the early tricky stage of life!

ReplyDeleteGreen blobs. I find seed from my own plants best. For me with Lithops the first Winter is the problem. I should probably give more heat and light.
ReplyDeleteI have photos. How do I upload them for you?
DeleteAre you on facebook?
ReplyDeleteI am on Facebook, yes
ReplyDeletePlease post them on SUCCULENT SUNDAE on facebook. [ Or send them ]
ReplyDeleteI have done that though can't see my posting. Only uploaded one picture. Will do the rest when my posting is showing.
ReplyDeleteI can probably put them on the blog if that is OK with you.
