Anacamptis pyramidalis

[lazzaret]

hello,

my question is simple. Does anybody have germinated anacamptis pyramidalis with success ?

how did you do ? did you sow mature seeds or green pods ?

[marcel van den Berg]

I have used mature seeds.
Sterilise with 1% NaClO for 30 minuten.
Rinse the seeds with sterile water for about 60 minutes.
Then sow them on bm1.. That resulted in mass germination.

Hello lazzaret,
did nothing special; seeds were mature, the pods slightly open.
bleached 25 min in 0,5% NaClO
sown on Malmgren mod. with additional fresh coconut-water, pine-apple-juice and potato.
from Nov. till Feb. into the fridge .

It wasn´t quite mass-germination but well enough...

They do better with Rutabaga added instead of potato
