[Arisaema-l] no AEG seeds arrived

[Charles Hunter]

I had better luck after soaking seed for several days. I think it improves
germination.

 

Careful with the pinellia- they can get weedy and germinate TOO much on its
own. I have pinenllia tripartita growing in the paths and everywhere and I
have to pull little ones up. .

Hi David

On arrival  (9th may), I soaked the seeds for a day. Then I drained the
water but kept them moist rinsing them in fresh water each day for 4-5
days. I then planted them. Top shelf larger pots on the left in photo. None
have germinated so far.

As of today the following Arisaema of former years have sprouted.

Arisaema consanguineum

Arisaema dracontium

Arisaema fargesii

Arisaema ovale

Arisaema sikokianum

Arisaema thunbergii

I live in Rome Italy (Zone 9). 

I am far from being an expert so this is just what I did not any advice. 

Regards

Colin

Seed arrived today, May 17th, in Fort Worth, Texas, USA, via the USDA
Inspection station in Houston, TX.  I also would like to express my
gratitude to Eric and others (?) for all of the work and to those who
donate the seed.  I am hoping that next year I will be able to donate as
well as receive.

 

Rather than dwell on the failure of the seed to germinate, I like bask in
the excitement of those which did.  While I planted around 200 Arum seed
and only have ten seedlings, I am very excited about each of those ten.  I
was a little more successful with Arisaema, and very successful with the
Pinellia (ternata has not yet sprouted).

 

My question to those living in the northern hemisphere is when do you plant
the seed?  By now, Spring has about sprung and the really hot days of
summer are only weeks away (my Arum are dormant, except for the seedlings),
only one Arisaema has sprouted, and the Pinellia are all sprouted and doing
well.

 

As always, I appreciate any response.

Dear Eric,

 

As far as I can see, I have not received the AEG seeds that I ordered. Have
you sent them, or have you been busy?

 

Best regards,

 

Sten
