Starting a Batch of Dypsis Seeds



A few days ago I received some new seeds in the mail. They have been soaking in warm water for 3 days. I have 20 Dypsis lastelliana seeds or Redneck Palm and 30 Dypsis hovomanstina seeds. I started the 20 redneck palm seeds in a snap-tite container along with 20 of the Dypsis hovomanstina seeds in another snap-tite container. These were placed in a 50%perlite and 50% peat moss mix. Then I placed 10 of the Dypsis hovomanstina seeds in a ziplock bag with a seed starting mix. They have been placed in the seed room and as soon as a sprout pops I will update.

Seed Room







Well my seed starting has reach a new plateau. My first seed box turned into seed box 2.0, and now seed box 2.0 is being replaced with seed room 3.1. I have taken over the little bathroom that is in the efficiency attached to my house. It has a little shower stall in that I am using for the snap tite containers and ziplock baggies, and some shelves that fit perfect in between the wall and toilet for all the humidity dome trays and take out containers. I have a little heater fan and a thermometer in the room so I can maintain the temperature.
