This is what I've prepared for my 15 d.metel seeds that arrive tomorrow. It's 1 litre of compost that I've sterilized in the stove and poked 16 holes into with a pen. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to make them germinate? The last ones didn't germinate until I airtightly closed the container. Maybe I'll give it a try...

Hunter hunter said: I'm surprised this thread does not exist yet. Any way I finally cut a few clones and wanted to share.

I soaked the cuttings overnight in a solution of water and non ripe black berry juice. This morning I trimmed them a bit and applied some clone X. I'm very excited hopefully all goes well.
Here are a few pics of the original plants.



Those variegated Brugmansias are awesome! I’ve never seen them before 😍
Getting some cuttings soon which I’ll start off growing in pots. One is orange sanguinea, one is double white (is double white arborea?), and another is a pink suaveolens I think. Not sure of the species exactly because the seller didn’t specify. Will update once I get them growing!
I was wondering whether these three species can cross pollinate and produce hybrids easily? Wouldn’t mind growing some crosses from seed and cloning them 😊

to my knowledge they will not make seed pods unless conditions are perfect year round it would be really cool to pull it off. i think we have the same cut of that variagated
the smells are all totally different

The smells are different between the variegated and non-variegated? They look awesome.
Ah right… I’m wondering whether far North Queensland would be close enough to the right conditions? I’m almost at sea level, get metres of rain each year, and it’s warm in winter/hot and humid in summer.
Maybe not perfect conditions. I suppose there’s only one way to find out

getting cold trying to stay below freezing now. i let them stay out as long as they could handle and they were taking the frost every morning for a month or two. this is where the moms are at, just got cut other day there's still more to do. i just stick them in water in a plastic container in ambient light, last year i just left some of them in plain water all winter and they did fine. they like plastic for some reason, when i put them in glass its less successful. they multiply quick. the yearlings are in an unheated shed there are an awful lot and i dont know what to do. its a weird climate it could be anywhere from Zone 7b-10a it just depends on the year. they call it 8 or 9 i think but its right on the "border" of everything. last year they were outside under a cover until it got below 20 but that almost killed them, luckily i caught them in time. should i bury them in a hay pile with a tarp over it? how do you deal with it?

some of the datura still alive too

I think it’s a wild variegated variety of clematis aristara.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen any significant flowering on the mother plant.. I missed them in their prime, but it looks like the first blooms have started for Autumn. 
  The cutting, doing it’s thing too.

Nice blooms, Nick. I made a bunch of cuttings last fall that stayed in the greenhouse all winter. They are pushing new growth and looking good so far.

I'm trying my damndest to germinate Metel and Stramonium this year. I am attempting now in some coco coir. The other methods haven't been successful yet. I had no trouble with Inoxia last year. I rescued about 20 babies from where the mother plant grew last summer and planted most of them around my house and back yard. I do have some left over that I will have to find a spot for.
Anyway, I planted my aborea cutting I took last year in the back yard. I have the original clone in a grow bag in it's usual spot. I want to see how it does in the ground. I wish I could grow it year round.
