So I got some gemmae of nitidula ssp albanostigma x ericksoniae this fall/winter and the dang dudes are just monster growers, already quite large (I?m guessing full size) and have been continuously flowering for some time now. Several of the flower stalks have dried up and have seeds in then so seeing as I always have a bad case of propagate-itis if there are seeds I must plants them, pure instinct mind you. I have the impression that many pygmies are either sterile or major PITA?s from seeds but I can't fight the impulse to at least try be planting them anyway and so I wondered what the best way would be to go about getting them to germinate. Do pygmies need something special to germinate?
