I have recently had success germinating Placea ornata in the refrigerator at 4'C on damp filter paper in a petri dish. Germination was nearly 100% after two weeks. Does anyone have suggestions on how to keep them alive after germination? I have tried this species several times before with no success. Thanks a lot Rogan.
