Joy Ensete perriei up in just 12 days!!

Ok guys and gals, I finally got my dream seeds and my dream just came thru! It was love at first sight when I saw a pix of this plant. It's a MUST have for me. But then I missed the boat in getting them until I got to know Markus Senger. I got a bunch of 650 sds from Markus who is also a member here and is also a seed seller. Thanks Markus!

Here's what I did;

1. I soaked them in tap water for 2 days and then on the 3rd day, I used a mild acidic water for 24hrs.

2. The experimental lot of 30 sds were then sown into a clear plastic deli box with moist seed mix and then sealed.

3. I left it on my germination rack which is outside my balcony and is sheltered from sun and rain.

4. The temp recorded was high 90F in the day and approx 80F at night.

5. First sign of germination was after 12 days.

Simple? So...go do it!

I will update with pix when the total tally is final.
Happy...happy...happy guy

Why I got so many sds? Didn't you notice? I am an Ensete Nut!
