teonanacatl Posted January 5, 2005 this was posted at eba just before it crashed. calea cotyledons http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kaleidosc...96d.jpg&.src=ph calea seedling tray http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kaleidosc...b12.jpg&.src=ph young seedlings http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kaleidosc...683.jpg&.src=ph not even a month later http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kaleidosc...0e9.jpg&.src=ph with the seed grown calea ive noticed a few differences between them, some taste really bitter, some arnt bitter at all. some have red petioles and some dont (some the red extends into the leaf veination). some have rounder leaves, some are greatly serrate. here are some pics. red petiole http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kaleidosc...9&.dnm=64aa.jpg Round leaves http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kaleidosc...09f.jpg&.src=ph and a few are suffering from this http://au.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kaleidosc...9&.dnm=f94e.jpg does any one know wat its from, my guess is calcium deficiency or salinity which would be weird as ive rarely fertilised them.

Torsten Posted January 5, 2005 i would assume that 99%+ of all the calea seeds that we sell is not germinated. I myself only ever managed to germinate one seedling, but forgot to take pics. this is the proof that calea does in fact grow from seed. I think you just need to be in the tropics.

teonanacatl Posted January 5, 2005 yeah it grows like a weed here. took a long time to germinate and freshseed was used, growing media never dried out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
