Dear All and Mr. Tsuh,
Some time ago we were asked for germination data on Sinningia seeds. I had
held some of my seeds back because the first few pots became overgrown with
moss before I could see any germinations.
&/31 and 8/1 I sowed 2 pots of S. iarae and 2 of S. globosa. Each pot had
at least one germination by 8/15 and no moss. I used the old pot in plastic
bag and had them in the house. Wonder of wonders.
Best wishes, Joyce Miller, Gresham, Oregon USDA 8.
