Hello and happy new year ! I agree with sphagnum as a good medium for germinating Scadoxus. I got some hybrid seeds from a SRGC member, and they do well at 20 ° C under artificial light in sphagnum. I keep it constantly moist and only 1 seed of the 10 I got has rotten. The others developped their first root and then I transplanted them in a mix of sphagnum, perlite, and compost and they do fine. regards Romain, Paris, France _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/
