I harvested about 90 seeds of 2 E obesa and 2 E meloformis plants a while ago. Planted them 2 weeks ago. In total 41 has germinated so far. Real happy with the germination.

Unfortunatly not Chris. The mother plants were bought from small private collectors with no info from where there seeds were from.

I do have some contacts in Graaff Reinet now. Want to try to get some pure veld seeds to grow pure plants for myself.

i will say just keep them in normal seedling care condition. It work for my seed just don;t toss away the soil which may still contain viable seed.
