Poor wording on my part, it's a potting mix from bunnings: https://www.bunnings.com.au/scotts-osmocote-25l-native-premium-potting-mix_p2961492 Thanks for the info and i will definitely reach out for some tubestock if all else fails (although i'm likely to keep trying stubbornly until i'm successful )

How do you guys care for seedlings once they've sprouted? I can get my acacia (acuminata) seeds to germinate easily enough but they almost always develop a couple sets of leaves then slowly die off. Often they grow leggy and thin then wilt before giving up. I've tried a few soil mixes and at the moment am trying a blend of native mix soil, a little peat moss and some perlite for drainage. I have been germinating in seed trays with a peat/sand mix but i think germinating directly in a tube pot might be the go. I'm thinking maybe it's a lack of light, lack of air circulation, overwatering or all of the above. I put them on a windowsill inside once germinated so maybe the still, relatively humid air isn't good for them. I'll have a read of the links fyzygy posted a bit later to see if they address this.

Seconded as i am also interested.

Reviving an old thread to say i just got approved for the forums and wouldn't mind meeting some other budding ethnobotanists... i am also from mid north coast
