Post germination treatment of Cintia knizei

Post by Cidermanrolls »

My Cintia seeds from ADBLPS are germinating nicely.
Any tips out there regarding any special treatment needed in the first 12 months?

They are easy to germinate but to my experience they shouldnt be disturbed for 1-2 years. Let them grow in the same pot.

I lost all my first attempt to scorch their first summer - the only species in the tray that suffered. So next attempt I was careful to keep them cool and in some shade the first year. After that, no trouble.

I found them pretty straightforward, potted them on as normal perfectly fine.

Quite slow. Most of the growth below ground. Otherwise not too difficult. Probably prone to scorch without food ventilation, but I haven't had any problems with them. Watch out for mites.
