Tiny seeds

  • Thread starter schmiggle
  • Start date
I'm doing a project with some Stylidium, and some of the seeds are just miniscule. Even the biggest species have seeds smaller than a millimetre, and the smallest can't be more than 500 microns. I managed to get them into a liquid smoke suspension, but does anyone have advice on how to plant out tiny seeds in a controlled fashion?

I use a toothpick for small wet stuff. Really small pygmy dew gemmae? Suspend in a thin film of water and pick out individually with a toothpick and place individually. Should work with seed too but you might need chase them around the container a little.
