Re: Two questions

From: "Sue Zunino" <suez at sprintmail.com> on 1998.04.06 at 14:18:13(2003) Ray, I would love to have seeds of Z. aethiopica (aethiopica is the name I was wanting to know), and my sister is the one who has the plant. Would you know if it will produce viable seed all on it's own? Speaking of seed, I now have 6 A. amurense and 9 heteraphyllum, all around 4" tall. I just transfered them (bubble tray and all) out into my heated greenhouse. I started them in course sand which they are still in. Sand is a pretty scarry medium to germinate them in because I thought I lost them all when some started to rot (from being too wet), so I opened the top to rid them of some moisture and it dried out so quick that I almost lost them from desiccation! Still, most of them have germinated. If I remember correctly, they should grow on in this container until they go dormant? Should I change their soil, or can I plant them outside when the weather permits? What do you suggest? You probably already mentioned this, but do they need food (especially in the sand)? Thanks for the note, Sue +More -----Original Message----- To: suez@sprintmail.com Date: Friday, April 03, 1998 6:42 AM Subject: Re: Two questions >Sue, > >I've grown Z. aethiopica "Green Goddess" from NARGS seeds.
