Hi Mike, I am in S Cal also, I germinate my seeds outside in the greenhouse using only pumice and cover with Saran Wrap with success. I have not try heat mate, and seeds were just cover by laying thin layer of small pumice on top of the seeds. I have Some of the Older plant bloom last year. Hope this will help Andy Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Saturday, January 9, 2021, 11:56 AM, Mike via pbs <pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: Hello All, Happy New Year...hope all is well and a great year is on tap for all. For 2021 attempting to germinate Worsleya seeds. They are fresh and I expect viable I’ve read many different ways to germinate but I’m most interested in your success and specifically in So Cal. I’ll start them inside but my goal is getting them outside as soon as possible. Maybe that’s not possible for the first year... I will use a heat mat but what’s a good temp? What soil have you found success with? I sprayed the seeds with daconil. Soil recommendations. Planting depth. My initial thought is 80 degree heating mat, sphagnum/pumice mix keep moist sow 1/4 under soil. Place them in high indirect light. I’m open to all suggestions...tips tricks and exchanging a couple seeds for a 3-5 year old plant all are good. Have a great weekend, Mike San Diego Sunset Zone 23 _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net http://lists.pacificbulbsociety.net/cgi-bin/… Unsubscribe: <mailto:pbs-unsubscribe@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net>
