I hope you haven't given up on the seeds though. I have had Hippeastrum seed grow into mature plants after having fungus on the seeds. And others I've lost. I understand that some fungus species can consume living plant cells, and others cannot. But it is always worth trying to get them through it because you cannot identify fungi by eye.

Also, my thoughts would be to steer clear of the perlite and even vermiculite. I have had initial success with Pamianthe with those mediums, only to have trouble later on. I have had great success with pumice mixed with orchid bark. Watch for mealy bugs too.

I agree, 90°F does sound a bit warm. I've started these by floating the seeds on water at room temperature. Every few days the water can be changed if it becomes at all murky, and the seeds can be washed gently if mold develops. When you observe a root radicle starting, individual seeds can be placed in potting medium to grow.

sounds very warm! I find them
easy to germinate in cooler conditions.

I received some seeds

of the above in BX 403. I soaked them, then nestled

them, pointed end down, into damp sphagnum

moss. I placed the container on

the

bottom of a plastic food container and set the transparent
rim on top.

I put them under a 6500K

color temperature compact fluorescent light. and

maintained ambient temperatures in the

80-90 F / 26-32C range. Nothing has

happened, other than some of the seeds becoming covered in
white mycelia.

Should I have done

something else?
