hi joyce,

i don't know what i can tell you since i grow everything indoors
in a non-AC appartment in the jungle of new york. because
Sinningia and gesneriad seed is so small, it can be frustrating to
work with. i sow a small portion in a small 2" pot and keep it
enclosed in an iced-coffee plastic cup. if you have too much moss
growing over, it's obviously a humidity issue? in the wild, we
have seen many seedlings growing on moss-covered rocks, so they
obviously can live together...

i was wondering if people have had some success or failure with
the Sinningia seed i have sent dell. mostly, seed can be kept
viable for many years in the fridge, and some of the seed i sent
him is a bit old. just wondering if anyone has had no luck
whatsoever.
for those interested, the Gesneriad Society just held its
convention and there's a slide show at this website:

as you know, many genera in the family are tuberous/rhizomatous.
