Here is a two year old seed-grown
P. heterophylla in the process of dividing, from about a month ago.
It hasn't flowered yet and is the first of my
heterophylla plants to do the dividing thing.
At around this time when my mature
heterophylla plants were flowering, I took the time to pollinate around forty flowers and here is some of the seed I was able to collect from them.
The seed was sown on October 12, one month ago today.
This is the top dressing I used to sow them on top of.
The above media top dressing consists of
pro mix, #2 grit, bonsai sand and silica sand in a
3:2:1:1 ratio respectively.
And here is one of the four pots with the resulting seedlings, taken from earlier today.
In late October, I took apart a mature dormant bulb to propagate some plants from leaf pullings.
The leaves were laid onto coffee filters and placed inside a freezer bag, under lights.
Last night when I was repotting some other mexi-pings, a few dislodged leaves from a
P. agnata were also added to this bag.
And here is a pic from today of the same dividing plant from the opening pics above.
Hopefully, in time, i'll have a few more of these plants to spread around.
