Greetings from Snowy & Cold Boston, I have just ordered some Velthemia seeds from the PBX 57 and I was wondering what the preferred or best way to start them indoors. I have some Cyrtanthus seeds from a previous order that were placed on a very gritty peat/extra fine bark mixture and was covered with coarse sand about 1/4" or about 3mm. Now, being the nosy impatient person that I am, of course I had to delicately scrape the sand back to see if any of the seeds had sprouted and to my complete delight...they did!!! I was wondering if this technique (less the digging around) will work for Velthemia seeds. Please let me know. Very Warm Regards, Fred Biasella Cambridge (Boston) MA USDA Zone 6B
