TheMooseZeus Posted March 12, 2018 I ordered and planted five Caapi seeds ~6 weeks ago from herbalistics. The website says 21 days max. I emailed the people who work there and they said "yes generally if they are going to germinate it will be in 3 weeks" Should i give up or is there still hope? Has anyone germinated herbalistics caapi seeds with success Makes me worry about my P. Viridis seeds from them too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gimli Posted March 12, 2018 Keep them but try source seed elsewhere. P viridis takes up to 6 months I believe. Better off with cuttings if you can. Or rooting leaves if desperate Note to self: never buy from Herbalistics. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They offered to send me fresh P Viridis seeds and they have replied to all my queries. They do sell all year round which isn't great for the customer. Thanks for the reply too!

aguacolla Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) I had no luck with the 10 caapi seeds that I bought from herbalistics. I tried different things - some in a takeaway container, some breathing fresh air, cutting the wings off so they wouldn't grow mold, etc. Nothing worked The plants that I got from herbalistics are doing excellently so I'm planning to just propagate from cuttings when they're big enough to handle it.

I think as a last resort i'm going to try scarifying a few with sand paper... None of them seem to be swelling up with water Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lorax Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) Yup I had good success with seeds from herbalistics.. was 100% germination rate if I remember right. I had them in one of those little trays with a plastic lid on a heat mat under fluro's on a 18/6 cycle. Way too late for you zuess but just wanna say they work.. tried seed from other vendors with zero luck. P.S. I lost 80% of my seedlings trying to acclimatize them to regular conditions outside the bubble. Lost the other 20% to cats walking in seedling trays and user error. :/ Edited August 16, 2018 by Lorax 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMooseZeus Posted August 16, 2018 Hey, thanks for the reply! A friend of mine ordered me some fresh seeds not long ago even though it was out of season. I planted them and am still waiting for the weather to warm up a bit. I'll keep trying when i get the opportunity, i just love growing things from seed hahaha I use the same plastic trays with the lids i just dont have them under lights, they're outdoors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
