Cynthia,
I float my Hfippeastrum seeds and transfer the sprouts into Jiffy 7 coir
pellets, which I place in 2" pots, & grow them out for 1 years that way. I
seldom have any problems with mold & of course you can always use a
fungicide if a individual shows an sign of mold.

Ina, do you boil your water first before placing the seeds into moist
perlite? I have two seedlings of Hipp. Harrisonii (1.5 inch leaves) that
I've begun to change from a "normal" environment to growing in wet soil
from then on. But at this point a person wonders about a possible mold
attack. And, I sometimes wonder if very young plants need the presence of
certain soil microbes in order to thrive. And, what about the concept that
plant roots need oxygen? We need more plant scientists in our bulb
community...

I received 10 seeds, one went mouldy, 9 are doing fine.
I used the damp perlite method in sealed clear container. Others may
have done it differently. The sedlings are almost ready to be planted up.
I think the success rate for the others is about the same.
