Hi all,
Does anyone have some tips on Bulbine Wiesei seed germination ? I understand some bulbine species are winter growers, others summer growers, so do Wiesei seeds need cool (18-20 C) or warm....or hot temperatures ? . Also I read somewhere on this forum that Bruynsii needs a long time to germinate. I don't manage to get them started, so not sure what I'm doing wrong. But I guess the seeds do not want to be covered.
Thanks

Re: bulbine wiesei seed germination
How long have you waited? I had some bulbine seeds that took three months to germinate. They were such slow-growing things that I forgot about them.

Bulbine bruynsii can indeed take a long time to germinate.
How did you obtain those B. bruynsii seeds? Hard to get your hands on.

I think it's around 3 weeks now, so I guess I must be patient. Just still no clue if the temperature is right. I have them around 22 C right now, which would be the winter grower concept.
I don't have any bruynsii seeds, but they are on my wish list
Re: bulbine wiesei seed germination
off they go !! Sown on 25 of july , so exact 2 months. I just kept them at room temperature the last month and a half, like +- 20 C, with dips at night time. I'll post an image later, they are so tiny now, I need a magnifying glass to spot them.

only 3 out of 10 so far, but happy they came up. 6 days old now.
