It's my understanding that it's not generally the seller, but the seed collector (which is generally a different person) who mislabels seeds. It's a lot less work collecting bongso/naga/whatever or stenophylla than edwardsiana, villosa, aristolochioides, or other highly desirable species and...

Yes you can expand plants' temperature tolerance to some extent with humidity, fertilizer, and apparently keeping the soil drier than you otherwise would. There are always limits though, and the amount of time a plant is exposed to warmer temperatures is important. You may find that a plant...

Glad to see someone propagating. It was just a year or two when I found out that this plant actually still existed. At the time, the grower said they were planning on propagating but nothing ever came of it.

Yeah it was originally forecast for about 60, but the temperature's been dropping all week and I'm now seeing 53 for tomorrow afternoon. Dress warm!

I've tried 3 different brands. Even the high quality nursery-grade peat was problematic for me without rinsing. It only measured about 35ppm out of the bag too.

If that is the problem, I don't think there's anything you can do about it at this point. It's impossible to know if that is the problem though.

So peat? Did you rinse it beforehand? I've personally had issues in the past with seeds refusing to germinate if the peat isn't clean enough.

What sort of soil are you using?

Most certainly. I wouldn't ever consider importing plants from anywhere but an established nursery.

Two things I should point out here: Firstly most of that article is completely inaccurate. The author wrote it based entirely on a court affidavit (being unable to obtain any more reliable information,) which in itself was full of inaccuracies since the investigating agents really did not...

Also, Facebook has been extremely broken all day so I can't even get to the link even with an account. I've never seen such a major outage.

I'm 90% sure that's N. mirabilis var. globosa.

I'm afraid I don't have a link handy. I don't even remember how I found that paper. Light height should always be measured from the leaf canopy - basically the top of the plants. As for that calculator you found, I'd take the results with a grain of salt. While it might technically be...
