Calea zacatechichi germination with gibberellic acid?
    #15910477 -

I'm getting some Calea seeds and was told they are like dandelion seeds, very very tiny things. I was also told the germination rate is super low. I have a sample of some gibberellic acid but have never used it. How would I use it to help these seeds? I don't think I could soak them too well if they are so small.

Any other advice for germing these seeds is appreciated!

To be honest i don't think it is as low as people are say i bought one seed pod (on average about 20 seeds). I took the seeds out sprinkled them on the surface of potting soil and they came up in 1 week like 4 have germinated. I don't think it is that bad once they start growing you could just take cutting and root some more plants.

I'd skip the Gibberellic acid, it might help germination but it might also if you use too much make them elongate a huge lot during the first phase of growth and thus weaken them. I'd try it if your first batch of seedlings fail to grow.

tehugly, are you sure what you got was C. zacatechchi?
The plant doesnt produce seed pods, rather the seeds form in a cluster of sepals with the dried flower at the end.
I've grown seed out from shop-bought herb and from seeds I produced. In the former case I cot 2% germination and in the latter case I got 5%. In both cases each flower had yielded 1 to 6 seeds.
I never tried gibberellin treatment.

I also grew and I definitely have more than 6 seeds per pod or cluster or Whatevs you wanna call it. It was around 20 - 30 seeds minimum. And yeah I sprinkled between 300-500 seeds soakin them first in a cup. It is a bitch like you said cause they are so tiny. I got 5 plants or so to grow but then I have reason to believe someone stole them. It was annoying. We used 1/3rd vermiculite 1/3 sand and 1/3 potting soil. Seemed like a good mix from what I read at the time for the calea.
