Dx! got 2 seedlings... and then fked em up tryna remove the crispy seed coat ... this time round (last night) I sliced up the seed coat completely on one side and left it on .. so far so good I rinsed and replaced all the tub's water...., took a rushed shot or 2 of the seedlings progress so far in between camera playing up troubles (!) sowed the 3rd and final seeds of confusa and simplicifolia/simplex which vacated 2 soak tubs for 5 A' victoriae and 5 A' maidenii , which I hot water tekked.. threw away all but one of the remaining phlebs since they'd rotted and gone squishy ... all rotted for obtusifolia ... so Instead of boiling up another 2 phlebs I just scratched em and added them to the tepid/luke warm water that the last one standing was in... same with another 4 obtusi seeds..., then gave it up for the day ... , maybe...

☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) finally some real success from the M' scabrella , i think they were just joking me about , I finally cracked the delicate procedure ,,,. and then the latest batch sprouted with no help at all , which was a bit frus' but hey? so I unzipped them anyway to be on the safe side and potted 4 sprouts up also potted 2 M' ophthalmocentra completely unzipped of their nasty crispy-later-slice-a-tater seed coatings so as not to incur the same problems as last time .., finally an A' obtusifolia sprouted so in the pot it went, potted up another A' maidenii sprout, boiled up another 4 A' victoriae and 5 A' acuminata 'broad phyllode' I think I underestimated just how "shallow" the puddle should be -prior to this latest couple of weeks, ,... perhaps i was accidentally drowning some sensitive ones? maybe that's one reason why they might've rotted? but that single phlebo didnt give a shit about depth tho ... hmmm Edited March 16, 2017 by ☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) yeah so it looks like air is high on the list of importance with the sprouting/tail pooping ... - virtually across the board of all the Mimosa and Acacia seeds I'm currently working with , - still some time yet to find out if A victoriae and if A acuminata broad phyllode is the same in their "air surface to water surface 'in utero' requirement" I used to generally follow the advice from WSS saying to basically have enough water in the soak tub to just cover them , but I'm finding this morning a 2nd phleb is just starting to sprout, ... just like the obtusifolia yesterday.. in far less water. .. despite one single phleb sticking it's middle tail up regardless of depth.. and a single maidenii and probably a few more but with the phlebs , all the others of the same batch were rotters at this kinda water depth, same with obtusifolia but kinda more so.. So I'm thinking that the best course of action is to have a small puddle or less; that the seeds are barely immersed in/sat upon, in an air tight (or thereabouts) tub, i think most of my tubs are slightly less than air-tight but they don't lose humidity much it seems, - can't have them drying out because of too little water eh? - also the windowsill seems to be king this month now the weather has turned from winter to spring, {i found the propagator ideal for sprouting in winter but too hot in spring , i wonder where else i could try when the north-facing windowsill I'm currently using gets too hot? somewhere cooler anyway.. And after a complete removal of seedcasing or - with the exception of M' scabrella which appears to be too fast a process for it and seem to prefer just a little bit more than a "half equator slice" (from top to bottom) until they sprout .. .- with scabrella , I have potted up a few with the sliced seed coat still attached where the root sprout is still very tiny..., but completely naked if the sprout root is already starting to curl.. its a good job I can document this so I can refer back to it in case one day they need starting again so I'd better take some pics of the first signs of tail pooping/sprouting phleb obtusi maide florib scab The "sprouting" area I am using at the mo is the surface of some stone topping of a tricho pot on a north facing windowsill in middle england during a mild spring ... perhaps even a fogging machine with no puddle of water would be even better?, maybe one day eh? or is all this simply the benefit of the ash from the end of a palo santo stick?

☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) well so much for cracking delicate procedure eh? anyhow... this time round (with the M' scabrella) I just left them in the soak tub and allowed them to sprout away - totally unplanned and because some major shit hit the fan... I just potted two up with a 3cm and 2cm tap root .. fingers x'd catching them late in their tail pooping is key ? -edit to add pics during repeat process the next day- dont try the squeezing pot method with stoney substrate - i used pure john innes#3 this time .., and in 7cm pots for a change since scabrella get big early in their development... so just as an experiment I decided to further 'neglect' the tail pooping towers(with the exception of water changes) purposely despite there being a whole range of sproutage going down... potted up 3 replacement D' leptolobus sproots too .. finally managed to get another gundabluey sproutlingon the go with one more in the tail pooping pot .. put mimosas tenuiflora and ophthalmocentra out for some sunshine and air.. and oh yeah , the ixtlawattle has been broken down because of a slight fault in the reptile heatmat (probably got too wet over the years) that caused it to melt so as a fire risk it's been fucked off until an appropriate replacement can be sought..., and also because of the seasonal abundance of natural heat and light ... and to give it a clean...# ... so the wattle growing venture has moved to a windowsill:3 Edited June 16, 2017 by ☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
