Hello everyone,
I sown D. peltata ssp auriculata? and D. stolonifera ssp. stolonifera back on 9/20/03. They were placed on the surface of a 8" pot with equal mix silica sand and peat moss. Water level kept 1/2 way up the pot, and weekly mistings. 2x 4' light bulbs are just a few inches above the seeds.
The first sign of growth from the ssp. auriculata was on 10/23/03, and by early November there were dozens of new plants. Here's a picture I took today (2/10/04).
Now the D. stolonifera ssp. stolonifera on the other hand did not show signs of growth until late January of this year. Today you can clearly see some growth.
The seeds were not treated in any way. Photoperiod is 15 hrs in summer and 9 in winter.
I would like to compare the germination timeframe with others out there. Anyone grow these plants from seed?
