I have two D. regia seeds germinate on separate occasions. However, the seedlings dies after three or four days. I am not quite sure what is happening and hope that maybe someone in the forum could advise me on this.
The seeds germinate on a 1:1 peat/sand mix. The plastic pot (3") is not sitting in water, but I mist the seeds with RO water everyday until water drips out from the drainage holes. I cover the pot with a plastic cup to maintain humidity. Although there is not much air circulation, fungus is not a problem (I use Captan).
BTW, I am in Singapore (hot humid climate). Could the temperature be the problem (ca. 29ºC to 35ºC daily) since D. regia is a south African plant?
