H Angelo, you could try taking them inside where it is warmer. A more stable warmth should do the trick. Of course, some seeds just refuse to shoot! Best wishes, Dash.

Some seeds germinated in a matter of days, as all Crinum usually do, but there are still some doing nothing. As I have them just in a shadehouse at natural heat ( I mean a greenhouse which roof is a shadecloth at 90% ) I wonder if they need a bit of heating to germinate. I have always germinate Crinum seeds without difficult, but I have usually got the seeds in summer, so heat was enough. Now temps are cooling down at night (abt 8-10°C or 45-48F). Any suggestion is appreciated. many thanks Angelo _______________________________________________ pbs mailing list pbs@lists.ibiblio.org http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/list.php
