kiwiplymouth Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I have barclaya longiflora seeds germinating in good numbers across two tanks. Tank one being the tank that the parent plants flowered in and tank two being where I transplanted some of the seeds that I collected. There were two parent plants, one red and one green and both produced the seeds about a year ago and haven't flowered since. I had a few seeds germinate a month or so after they were planted but I had given up on the rest I have read that barclaya longiflora can take up to a year to germinate but I didn't really believe it. Has anyone else had any experience with this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbden Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I also didnt have much luck germinating these only 1 poped up out of 100 odd seeds have had alot more pups from around the base of the parent plants. Still waiting on a red if any going :cofn: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 It was a long time ago I propagated them and I remember that it took a long time before I had any success so your theory makes a lot of sense. I only let the seeds drop into the tank. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
