Ipomoea platensis

Post by peter831shaw »

Hi All,

I sowed 5 seeds (CSSA seeds) in May of 18, one germinated. It produced 2 cotyledons upon germination.

It sat like that for months, finally I had the nerve to have a look and it was generating a large caudex.

But now, its losing its cotyledons, one at a time, and there is no sign of growth, though the shoot tip is still there.

plants have been in a nice heated greenhouse since sowing, and under 18hr days using florescent lights

Anyone grown this one from seed? Is this typical? I wonder if it needs shorter days or cooler temperatures to satisfy some form of dormancy.

thanks

Peter
