A Brachystelma barberae plant has surfaced on e-bay.

You might try soaking seeds for a few hours before sowing - it worked for me. I've now grown 6 or 7 Dioscorea species from seed, using the 'baggie' method. Warmth seems to help. Mike I'll give it a go with 50% of the seeds and try the other 50% without a bag (as per D^L) (tu) I've had success with ...

Congratulations, a well deserved award for such a fantastic display.

Hi Mike, was there any preference to light exposure?

Aiko wrote: that also depends on your sowing conditions (in a greenhouse?).

I can either sow outside or inside but no real greenhouse, just a plastic covered 4 tier mini greenhouse, an LED grow-box or the darkened room (not totally dark).

PS seeds I have are Dioscorea testudinaria elephantipes

I've recently acquired some seeds from this species, should I leave sowing till autumn? or will they grow in my coolish NW facing, darkened room if I sow them now?

I use this seller on e-bay (Prices for perlite are good too )

All noted Guys
Thank you both
