Hey All,
Here is my first attempt at growing sarrs from seeds. I've been doing well with purchasing/trading seedlings and growing them into big time adults that I thought I'd give seed a try. Nothing as impressive as Fred P or Brokken's production, but I was inspired enough to give it a go!
These will be SXM18 S.x Moorei -- Wilkerson's white knight x SL61 S. leucophylla -- red stripe throat. Got a good deal from ebay a few months ago.
These went through 4.5 weeks of stratification in the fridge wrapped in damp paper towels. They were sown yesterday (2/26) and now reside in the bedroom under lamps.
I'd like to keep these as an ongoing thread and provide updates for everyone. Enjoy!
