Tip:
Seeds should be wrapped in a damp cloth or gauze, then placed in a plastic bag or in a small closable glass jar, and left in a warm place for 10 to 12 hours. After soaking, they must be dried. For this, the seed is placed between two paper sheets, or simply wrapped in toilet paper or a paper towel to absorb moisture faster.
Seeds need to be planted to a depth of 5 mm to 10 mm, slightly sprinkled with earth. After this, you should gently pour them, making sure that the seed is not washed from the ground.
The seeds need high humidity, so the pots should be placed in a regular plastic bag and placed in a warm room with a temperature of at least +22 ° C, or be carried to a micro-greenhouse.
After that, the seeds will have to germinate in less than a week. The best time for sowing is the beginning of March, but if you want to get a house plant, then you can sow later.
Note:
Please seeds stored in a cool, dry place.
The volume of the soil should keep a distance of 1-2cm from the rim of the pot
No need to water too often, keep the soil moderately moist
I ordered Red Fountain you sent Red Bamboo #381. The other order was Red Dragon, you sent Orange Bamboo #391. Toadstoolseeds.com sent them. I sent you an email about this earlier. Can you send the correct seeds?
I bought some red sunflower seeds from this website. I also bought seeds from the big box store. The seeds I bought from this website sprouted first and look very robust. I am ordering more. Look for the next review once they bloom!!!
The seeds arrived quickly but we did not receive part of our order. We are still waiting for the ones we received to grow so too early for full review.
