Ok Thanks Again Sallubrious!

Ok thanks. I have ordered some 5cm by 5cm be 12pm tubes. As far as water goes, I have a high quality bench Water Ionizer/Filter that has the ability to adjust pH levels. Does anyone know what pH range acacia's like?

The Acacia's are located in Mittagong which is about 45 min to 1 1/2 hours south of Sydney in the Southern Highlands. Climate is similar to Sydney but usually a bit colder. Photos were taking in the last week.

Thanks Sallubrious. I have some 4cm by 4cm by 8cm pots. Would these be ideal to start or should I go a bit bigger?

Thanks for the advice guys. I was pretty tired last night when I typed this and accidentally did 4 twice lol. Two more quick related questions: 1.Is there any benefit starting with small deep rectangle shaped tube pots before moving to larger pots? or should i just start with the larger pots? 2. What pot shape/dimensions should I be using? As far as potting mix, I am using Debco Plugger Custom - Custom Formulation to suit the specific needs of professional growers. Contains: Composted Pine Bark - Specific grades, Minded sand and/or crushed stone, Coir pith. This was recommended by a nursery that grows native species including Longifolia. I was advised by the nursery to buy a low phosphorous fertilizer but they didn't have any in stock so I went with Osmocote Native Gardens Plus Trace Elements. Any comments on this?

Hi, I am pretty new to growing plants and have some Acacia Obtusifolia seeds. I live near Sydney and want to grow them in my backyard. I plan on putting them in boiling water and leaving them overnight and I know that the soil needs to be moist and they need morning sunlight at the beginning (preferably in a window) but I don't really know what to do after that. So a few questions: 1. What time of year should I be trying to grow them? 2. How long should I leave them indoors before moving them outside? 3. At what stage should I be moving them from the pots and into the ground? 4. Anything to do or avoid when planting them in the ground? 4. Once planted in the ground, how often do they need to be watered? 5. Any other tips or things to avoid? Thanks, AKP
