Agave montana
I tested the new agave montana seeds on germination.
fresh seeds:
the first batch germinated in four days in weet/moist conditions under light, with minor temp fluctations ranging 18 C to 28 C.
the second batch germinated in 2 weeks in dry conditions under light.
third batch didn't germinate in dark conditions at 30' C in moist conditions
old seeds:
the first batch germinated in 2 weeks in weet/moist conditions under light, with minor temp fluctations ranging 18 C to 28 C.
the second batch didn't germinate in dry conditions under light 20 C.
third batch didn't germinate in dark conditions at 30' C in moist conditions .
seedling don't like very wet conditions but more like light fluctating moist conditions.
soil types :
Sand- dried up to quick - average result, seedling development slow.
cocceapeat - good result, good moisture control , good seedling development
special seed soil - becomes crusty when a dry up session is allowed, their roots don't like this one.
Normal soil for room-garden- soil too heavy, risk of fungus
Microwave sterilized pine leaves mixed with cocceapeat- i think this is the best, it simulates their native habitat.
