I tried the floating method with pamianthe i received in a recent BX/SX. This was my first time using the floating method. I was very surprised with the results. I floated them on the 26 th of September and planted them in mix today, the 24 th of October. They all had their first leaf. I did not record when they germinated. I recall it took about a week. I removed the wing portion of the seed. Two of the seeds showed mold growth after a few days and were removed. The other eight survived. Ken P Old Bridge, NJ Zone 6b
