Very nice!

Lucky you! Mine are just showing buds :-)

Those are great plants.

Those are OLD great plants, Pijaya. Older than the Meloman??

Probably older than me. To demonstrate my faith in the future, I have a packet of S. disciformis (var. esperanzae) seeds to sow this spring. I would love to see them through to this size.

I wish you the best with those seeds!! I tried them a couple of times, some friends tried them too, not good results (0%)regular disciformis germinates like weed, the trick is keeping them alive :-)

That's interesting (worrying?), Alex. Were all the seeds from the same batch? Possibly from the same source even though purchased separately? The only other person I have spoken to about this subspecies (although I suspect there are more out there) got 75% germination with a fairly straightforward pot in a bag technique, with generous limestone in the soil.

thanks, I think this might be older than me as when it was imported from Japan about 7 years ago it has grown very little. The base tend to become brown and corky

I also had the same experience with Alex that is 0% germination for esperanzae. Maybe the seeds were old or collected from habitat and stored for a long time.

Pijaya

Nice!

These seeds were from the same supplier, purchased at different times, my guess is that they were old seeds...
