Seeds arrive Here are the seeds 5 seed in pot
with different
soilmix
I use fine sand I use coarse sand I use seedling mix and I use regular pottsoil
also clay soil mix and
spagnum-moss
Seed in fine sand WC1 Seed in coarse sand WC2 Seed in mix
Perlite, vermiculite WC3
Seed in spagnum mix WC4 and Seed in other spagnum mix WC5

Forget all above, Please DO NOT DO, AS I DID. I have use to heavy media to grow in.

We live and learn

You shall use welldrained medium in the pot, that I did´nt understand first. I blame on that I am not so good in the language, for it have excist many cultivate-recommendations.
Forget fine sand, forget seedlingssoil, forget commercial potsoil, FORGET claysoil.

BUT of course, I do it in my way, as I always do. So I have modify it a little. I have take 1 part of each medium + my part seedlingssoil, commercial potsoil, claysoil and mixed together. But up on the top where the seed lay, there are only either spagnum, thick sand or perlite. Now I hope it will sprout and grow.

The second try....... my seeds, Worsleya procera arrive from Australia  2007-10-22,
to me in Sweden ..... I´m the happiest girl in the World

My little greenhouse with hot from the bottom stand ready. Also the growing media scoria is bought and destillated water and to that chamomilletea, to reduce risk for mould and other bacterium.


It have gone 9 days. No news more than that I´ve put them in my table-greenhouse, and change to grey pumice instead of red scoria, pumice was smaller. I spray them with destilled water and chamomille-tea, two times a day. It is 100% humid, the greenhouse are completely closed.

Well
'2007-11-09', 3 of my seeds, are destroyed.
1 of them have white fungus fungus on it. Worsleya
And in 2 of the seeds it creeping larvae of Sciára, the larvae have eat up it inside, you can see one flylarva in the middle Worsleya
one of them was in three pieces Worsleya
So I am not very happy and I begin to despair perhaps it is´nt the idea that I shall have any Worsleya. Poor me.
I notice that my first seedling is doing well, Worsleya
This is my second and last try, I cross my fingers that the one which sprout make it. :o)
