Just another addition to our collection of grow guides. This one was basically taken from the growing info on our product page. But I also added a few things, including a section on rooting cuttings.

I'm trying to grow this fascinating plant from seeds but they wont sprout. I've tried 3 different soil types, stable warm environment and the seeds dont show darkening from seedling rot either.
Do you think the vendor could have sent me some old outdated crap? The kanna seeds from the same vendor wont germinate either.
This time around I gently pressed the Salicifolia and Kanna seeds into floral foam. It should rule out seedling rot this time around, but do you think it will be to bright for them to sprout?
Edit: oh, and by the way, awesome article!

Well, they usually stay viable for a long time. It's possible they could be old. But they would probably have to be pretty old. I've had two grows from the same seed stock vary in germination time quite a lot. But that was several years back, so I am not sure what the factor was. And it was the second batch that grew better.
I'm not sure what you're doing, but try adding more moisture if it's dry or letting the soil dry out if it's really wet...then remoisturize it. They're usually pretty easy to grow though, and heimia can tolerate overwatering better than a lot of other plants IME. My germination temperature for the batch above was 75 degrees F. I did some myrtifolia seeds at about the same time keeping everything the same for both species.

Cheers! I'll try a stable 75 next time around.
By the way, do you have any plans for a cultivation guide on Kanna in the future?

I don't have any immediate plans, but I'm sure eventually I will.
