Title: Conandron germination
Post by: Gene Mirro on January 13, 2013, 04:20:04 PM

Does anybody know the germination requirements for Conandron?  I have grown Ramonda and Haberlea from seed.  Is Conandron the same?  Or does it need cold?  Thanks.

I succeeded to germinate Conandron in the same way as other gesneriads.
I believe they call it “under pressed air”. I have explained this way of germination on this forum many years ago. ( If I remember right,  maybe on the old forum).

Is the old forum still available?  I tried to get to it, but ended up at the new forum again.

Unfortunately not, Gene - it was lost some time ago - circumstances sadly beyond our control.
