Those pachypodiums are so cute!! Amazing they have made such a mature looking caudex so fast.

Hi Tina,

Do you use a fertiliser for your seedlings?

Hi Vaida
There is still plenty of time for your E.symetrica, you could try drying the pots & soak them again. I sometimes reuse seed pots when I have no germination & then later they pop up so I now keep the old label's in pots & the new label when I do this.
Also as Weibe says try slightly hight temps, my normal temp is 25C.

Hi Winston
I have the use of a 'hot room' at work so I can sow all year, it's a great incentive to get me to work on these dark mornings(:D. when I would rather potter about at home.
Some of the seed was fresh from USA so I sow ASAP.If I was sowing at home it would be about Feb for seed sowing.

On a seperate note I have damaged the tops on two of the P.namaquanum to see if it will encourage multiple growing points, a double headed plant would be really neat.

Yes, I give a weak feed most waterings.

Here's some of my E.capsaint mariensis seedlings, after some advice from Leonet I managed to produce quite a few seed & even swapped some spare with friends.
I hope we have a decent summer this yr.

Hi ALAin
Thats what the parents were labeled ?, the leaves do look wider than the parent plants but all tickling was done by myself.
Have you got a picture of what your E.capsaint mariensis looks like.

Here's the parents- middle front & right hand side row 2, bottom right is E.ambovensis so are they mislabeled??
