Moon timing?

[Giorgio Pozzi]

Hello growers, one month ago  on 30th June, i started with soaking, the
germination of my Dracontium's seeds, just set and collected, about 100
seeds, they took one week and on 7th July nearly 100% were showing the
germs, potted they are now 4-5 cm. tall and developing the second leaf;
on 13th an 15th July I started with another similar amount of seeds,
these too just collected, now they took nearly 20-21 days to begin
germination, same detergent for soaking and similar weather conditions.

I note that 28 days elapsed from the first germination, and these seeds
started germs at 100% rate in 24 hours.

Like peasants here say, " look to the moon before starting with seeds
germination " may be it is the same with Dracontium or other Arisaemas?


The two plants are still flowering, even with a very hot weatger, new
leaves and flowers and many spikes with seeds that will be ready in few
days, some spikes are facing down and few leaves are drying.

Every spike till now had 50-60 seeds, seven spikes will set nearly 350
seeds i'll send to Eric, as soon as possible.

I had from a friend many seeds of unknown Arum variety, if someone is
interested, please write me as Eric wrote not to send those seeds for
seedlist; I'll clean about 300 seeds......

Thanks  for replies.
