I'm filled with joy because I have a Drosophyllum seedling just germinated! I got these seeds in Jan 2016 and have been working on them since! These ones I have smoked them, GA3 them, and cold straf-ed them for 6 weeks+. So happy! Let's hope there's more, and I can keep it/them alive! Willy

I found they just need a slight abrasion at the blunt end with super fine sandpaper until a less dark shade shows through.

I've never used any technique except the scarification.

I've never used any technique except the scarification. I tried with the two in your giveaway, it worked! Neither survived though, the one moulded right away and the second which germinated rotted for one reason or another; I think it might've been too wet.

Congrats Willy! That is a favorite of mine, that I don't currently grow. I love them, just don't have a good spot at the moment. Good luck!

As soon as mine germinated, I put them in the room air with the soil mixture moist, drying out before watering the next day. I used one of the coir pots until the plants were big and then sunk them in their final pot. That way the roots never were in wet soil too long.

Thanks for the tips, Lloyd, I need to get a big pot soon.
