thank you. it took me half the day but i actually learned something today. it could take up to 8 weeks.thats not too bad...it can take my tacca up to a year to germinate. so i dont think that 8 weeks will be to long. i just spend hours looking into pots with dirt in them and i see no changes....not that i do that every day (well maybe not EVERY DAY) ha ha ha. i just got my pineapples started yesterday..changed the water today and was looking for roots( yes alread looking for roots). i have 4 jacaranda babies. three new today,1 is 4-5 days old. WOOSAAA. thank you for the info :0493:

If white bird of paradise is Strelitzia nicolai, I've germinated them a couple of times. It can take anywhere from six weeks to a year or more.
