Have a look at my 'Delosperma bosseranum - Sceletium tortuosum' thread. More people have posted pictures of their plants over there, so it could be considered a sort of growers unite thread. I think there's some good information compiled in the thread, contributed by several shroomerites! Your seedlings look good by the way. How did you germinate them?

hi PD, i read that thread. i guess my newbie-ness to kanna/succulents and v. technical names put me off a wee bit and wasn't sure it was the thread i should be in.
it was the most informative thread i think btw. i hope u don't find it rude but maybe u could change name of yours to make it easier for noobs to find? defo stick kanna in title and maybe stick "official" and/or "growers unite" too?? - they were search terms i used before sticking this up?? as long as there is a place to gather i'm good 
got half dozen wee pots of kanna on the go. used approx 1/3 verm, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coir and covered with film. mainly because i have all these to hand for other grows and felt couldn't go just verm and perlite like i did for cacti sown at same time.

Maybe I should edit the thread title next time I make an update, because I also started growing other Sceletium spp. which aren't mentioned in it.
If you planted multiple seeds in one pot, I'd try and mist the top layer often. Some seeds take a while longer to germinate, and they're said to contain water soluble growth inhibitors which should be washed away before germination. But the soil mixture will probably retain a decent amount of water with the vermiculite anyway.

i'll give that a go but prob got around a dozen seedlings from pack of 30 seeds so kinda thinking more about keeping them alive than increasing germination rate this time around. got them under 2x 11w flourescent bulbs adn debating when to move to sunlight. what you think? in longer run plan is to go to south-ish facing windowsill using some netting or similar to shield them from full sun until autumn. seen they can grow a lot over winter so hoping to have few fine specimens come next spring
