  Re: [Aroid-l] Synandrospadix vermitoxicus - Germination
From: STARSELL at aol.com on 2009.10.07 at 02:37:48
Hi All,
 
As one of the fortunate ones to receive some of these seeds
I am happy to report that one has emerged already.  A few days
ago I was able to see that the radicle of that seed was in the soil
media.
 
Can't tell for sure about any others although it looks as though
they may have the radicle in the soil as well, but they are not
so easily observed as the first one.
 
BTW, I discovered that a satellite box stays warm all the time.
Even when it is off. :-)
 
 
regards,
 
Alison
