Sv.: Pamianthe peruviana

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but I have nearly always had germination success with the flotation technique for all kinds of papery amaryllid seed. I believe the technique is described on our wiki.

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?

Thanks,
