dream herb failure.

Tried germinating some dream herb. I soaked the seeds first and then kept them super moist, as I had read to do. But it failed. any suggestions?

Calea or Silene?? I so far never get Calea to germinate but yes for Silene capensis.

Calea has a reputation for having extremely poor germination, or not germinating at all. Try ordering from a bunch of different vendors if you've really got your heart set on it. That's what I had to do to start some of my khat seedlings, order from a bunch of vendors. Out of 4 or 5 different ones, only one ended up having good seed.

I was emailed these germinating instructions when I purchased some Calea seeds. I ended up purchasing a cutting.

"These seeds need to be cold stratisfied before germination. Here is some info about the process:


For seeds of trees and shrubs from temperate climates, stratification involves soaking and chilling seeds prior to sowing. This simulates natural conditions where the seeds would remain through a winter on cold, wet ground. Seeds will usually germinate promptly and uniformly after stratification. Unstratified seeds may take up to two years to germinate, if they do so at all.

In the wild, seed dormancy is usually overcome by the seed spending time in the ground through a winter period and having their hard seed coat soften up by frost and weathering action. By doing so the seed is undergoing a natural form of "cold stratification" or pretreatment. This cold moist period triggers the seed's embryo, its growth and subsequent expansion eventually break through the softened seed coat in its search for sun and nutrients.

In its most basic form, when the cold stratification process is controlled, the pretreatment amounts to nothing more than subjecting the seeds to storage in a cool (ideally +1° to +3°C; not freezing) and moist environment for a period found to be sufficient for the species in question. This period of time may vary from one to three months.

To accomplish this you merely place the seeds in a sealed plastic bag with moistened vermiculite (or sand) and refrigerate it. Use three times the amount of vermiculite as seeds. It is important to only slightly dampen the vermiculite, as excessive moisture can cause the seeds to grow mouldy in the bag. As such, err on the side of drier rather than wetter. To give an idea, it should not be possible to squeeze any dripping water out of the vermiculite"

Ok, but what period of time is sufficient for the species in question?

It's def possible, I succeeded like ten years ago. Kept them super moist then transplanted to a humid greenhouse, as far as i'm aware they're still alive and kicking somewhere in central Fl. Good luck, wish I could tell you more. I got my seeds from the now defunct Green Stranger, I think...
