MountainGoat Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Time for an update. I sowed all the seeds except the pc crosses, which I gave to a friend. Two of the crosses were in a seperate tray and somehow a caterpillar got in there and smashed them. The rest are here... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clam Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Awe did I miss the giveaway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berengar Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Has anyone sown chilensis x seminudus seeds? I got 0 germination, and I fear that that cross might be sterile, which makes me really sad. I'm just wondering if anyone got these to germinate, did I accidentally do something wrong with the seeds. All others had excellent germination rates.

Strontium Dawg Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Not just you berengar, I had zero germination on these as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berengar Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Thank you for the reply. Then that particular cross is very likely sterile, as I feared. Bummer, I was really excited about growing it. Oh well, what can you do... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainGoat Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) @Berengar @Glaukus I got 3 to germinate, only one has survived but it's a runt... I don;t know if it'll survive (maybe its already gone, i don't keep that close an eye on all the seeds, i'll check in the morning).... edit: if you check the photos above, in the second one you can see one of the seedlings...

zed240 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Sorry guys, with that particular cross I had very few germinate out of 2 separate sowings totaling about 70 seeds. I now have one left which basically hasn't grown at all in a bit under a year. I only ever gifted this particular cross to people and as soon as I realised how bad the germ rate was I told people before they got them and/or wrote on the seed bags that it had poor germ rates. But it's a bit sad, I hoped for a lot more too. Here's a sad pic of my lone plant in all it's glory. I do still have a few of this type left if anyone wants to try again just in case, probably best to have pere at the ready in case you get anything to pop. So PM me if you're keen to try. I have much higher hopes for these 2 chilensis crosses that just ripened this year. Different mother, which is a much more attractive and fat chilly in my opinion too.

spooge Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Nice chilensis plants Zed are these from the same place as the SA ss or are they from a different plant or plants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zed240 Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Nice chilensis plants Zed are these from the same place as the SA ss or are they from a different plant or plants? Hi Spooge. No, I've been growing this plant for a few years now and I didn't get it from there, it's just proven difficult to get it to hybridize until my small successes this year. This one came from an old house that had some cactuses and the garden was being demolished. Although I do think the plant I got was most likely grown from a cutting, so it did have to come from some other plant originally.......
