Sowing season!
    #14382206 - 05/01/11 11:45 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

Spring has come and so I got busy sowing lots of stuff.
On April 14 I sowed several seeds including the following:

Calea zacatechichi
Capsicum (annuum, chinensis, pubescens, hybrids - many tipes of peppers)
Coleus blumei
Ephedra sinica
Heimia salicifolia (Sinicuichi)
Hypericum perforatum (St. John's wort)
Hypericum tetrapterum (? labeled as "Hairy St.John's wort", but Latin name was H.tetrapterum - not H.hirsutum)
Lagochilus inebrians
Lespedeza bicolor
Peganum harmala
Perilla frutescens (Shiso)
Silene capensis
Stevia rebaudiana
Turnera diffusa (Damiana)
Turnera ulmifolia
Valeriana officinalis

Until now, only Hemia and Valeriana have sprouted. No apparent activity from the others, so I think I might have messed up. I am expectantly waiting especially for the Damiana, Lagochilus and Ephedra, but I guess only time will tell, as usual with plants.

However here are a few shots of the seedlings :smile:

Heimia - really a formidable germination!



Valeriana


If there are any suggestions about the seedlings or about the other species that won't germinte yet, don't refrain from giving advice!

Only one more pot is showing signs of life. The seeds were labeled as Turnera diffusa by the vendor, but they looked nothing like diffusa; most likely ulmifolia. The only seedling that's showing up looks doubtful too - nothing like any Turnera at all. I suspect it's a weed.


Apart from this and the two pots I photographed and published in the previous posts here (heimia and valeriana), still nothing. I must have done something wrong again :mad:

I guess many of the species in the list were supposed to germinate in a couple of weeks, weren't they?

I wonder what's the problem this year...

No growth for the Damiana yet? I have 10 seedlings by now, but I'm still not sure if it's the real Damiana. I read on other vendors sites this Turnera Ulmifolia is often sold as Diffusa. My plants look different than this plant on your picture.

How do you see if the seeds are Diffusa or Ulmifolia?

The seeds look quite different. I just posted a new thread with some pictures in the hope it will be useful for other people with the same doubts as you have and I had myself. Here it is: differences among Turnera diffusa (damiana) and Turnera ulmifolia seeds.

Still no germination - in ANY pot!
The Valeriana seedlings look like they're dying. Compare with the previous picture a few posts ago.
I am keeping them under a humidity tent as shown in the picture.
What's up? What can I do? All my sowing activity this year is going to waste, including more precious plants. What do you think the problem is?

Bad luck! I wish I could help you, but I have no idea what you could do more.. There's almost no information about this plant on the internet. Maybe your seeds were too old? I have written all my growing conditions in the growlog, so that's basically all I can say about this plant..
