Hello All, I have sprouted various Cyrtanthus species seed many times in different seasons with the water-float method but have never had them survive more than a week or so after planting into pots. I wait until there is a definite root and the first leaf is well visible and green. I have tried potting into an organic-rich mixture with the soil level at the root-bulb junction and the bulb-leaf junction. I have also tried potting into a half-inch layer of sand on top of an organic-rich mixture at both planting depths. I prepared the pots, made a slit in the potting medium with a knife or label, and then eased the seedlings into the slits. I then sprayed water to wash the soil back around the seedlings. I then kept the seedling pots in bright shade and didn't let them dry out. The seedlings always withered and died quickly. Any suggestions of what else to try? Thank you, Leo -- Leo A.
