Helped greatly by this forum (this thread in particular, thanks all!) I have managed to germinate some fresh seeds of A. incisofidum. Now that they are up, I'm wondering at what stage to prick them out/repot? Only the cotyledons are currently showing, so probably better to wait for a bit?Thanks in advance,Marco
for Aconitum hemsleyanum:sowing from SRGC seeds (therefore dried for a few months):- without GA3: no germination after 3 spring (attempted 2 times)-with Ga3 (750 ppm): some germinations on the 1st spring-fresh seeds sown immediately in autumn: (with ga3) no germination the first spring.I am unfortunately not sure that my few beautiful seedlings (in pot ) succeeded in the summer of 2019, too hot.
Thank you Gabriela for the notes.For me A.moldavicum didn't germinate either the first year, I'm glad to know it wasn't maybe my fault, and it could germinate next spring. A.kusnetzovii germinated the first year fine.
Thanks, Gabriela. Very helpful. I sowed 4 pots of frsh Aconitum yezoense seeds (16 per pot) on 9th November nad a couple of days ago got first germinations (approximately 5 so far out of 64). None of the others sown at a similar time (japonicum, lamarkii,loczyanum.prolifrum and subcuneatum) have shown any signs of germination yet. All are in a small wall 'greenhouse' exposed to outside temperatures. I have just discovered PEG6000 as a tool to soften hard coated seeds so will experiment shortly.
