    Looking good Edd are you using heat for most of these, also is that manihot grahamii that you have managed to germinate, if so do you have any tips on getting them to germinate.

      Hi

      Yes it’s a manihot Grahamii it’s my favourite seedling this year looks amazing. I brought 5 seeds and started them straight away without any soaking or sanding etc just straight into coir plugs topped with vermiculite as a thin layer. This one germinated in almost a month which is crazy fast as guide says up to a year. The other 4 haven’t germinated yet. All were in a heated propagator at around 24-25 degrees and kept moist. Hoping the others germinate as was looking to sell some but can’t part with this one so I’m keeping it 😁

    Hmmmm, not sure for me. I love getting success with unusual Banana species. I’m always keen to try something new though. 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
