Na it was Yes yet quite fix.-)
Let, as you do.

My seeds have arrived too. Also sender without any moisture, but the seeds felt good and I put them in th soil right away. Expecting germination quite fast. Elbert told me that he had the first seeds germinating already.

I too have some of elberts amorph seed..both gigas and titanum
question.. I was wondering what everyone finds to be the most successful in germinating
these "tropical" giant seeds??
I am having success with 10 cm pots (orchid pots/with slits on sides) filled 1/2 full of well draining
potting mix (i add kelp meal, fish bone meal, zeolite and minor elements grains) on top of this
I use sphagnum moss (presoaked in water with kelp powder). place seed ontop then fill pot with
premoisted sphagnum moss..I put the pots on a heat mat.. they stay around 24 C to 26 C all the time..
my hewettii seed sprouted in less than a week.. elberts gigas seed are just starting to put out tiny white
roots, and titanum (they were already starting to sprout) sent out several long white roots in a week..and now
the titanum seed are swollen (yet firm) and putting out small 1st petiole starts YES!!
?? so.. how do others find there success in sprouting and growing out these from seed??
much thanks.. a enthusiast amorph friend over in USA

@titanutzz:

I am doing it on the same way as you.

I germinate my seeds in pure sphagnum moss. When there are fresh roots, i put the seeds in my normal potting soil.

I potted my titanums and lambii seeds direct in the normal pottingmix and had a germinationrate of 80%. Next time I'll try to germinate some seeds also directly in Seramis....

@ titanuzz: dont you fear any problems in using organic fertilizer as fishbone and kelp? I used once horn meal and it was a desaster with fungusgrowth.

Have anybody experiance with vermiculite instead of Perlite in the pottingmix?

Michael

I also use sphagnum moss,
so far no problems

Ernst

I put the seeds I got in Canna seed mix with extra perlite, coarse sand and charcoal. The first to are above the substrate already and have checked a few more pots and they were germinating too. Doing it this way with all the Amorphophallus seeds I have, so far pretty successful, grown titanum, lambii, paeoniifolius, konjac. Also depends of course how fresh the seeds are.

If anyone else has any gigas seeds...

Happy bidding, Bernhard.

So far, they have cost in about € 1.50 to € 3.
If more people for a collective purchase order would... be found?

Hi butter,.

certainly attractive, but I have already 10 directly by Elbert; the first germinate even with those that I already have, I'm already well supplied with gigas...

Happy bidding, Bernhard.

Hi all, I just noticed that this forum was buzzing with Amorphophallus titanum and A. gigas seeds last year.

In the next month (early August 2015) or so I will be having some seasonal Amorphophallus titanum seeds, and perhaps some A. gigas too...

Stay tuned in my eBay channel: http://www.ebay.com/usr/elbertwijaya

Currently I am sharing some DARK GIANT clone of Amorphophallus variabilis tubers (2-3 cm) from Sluka, this is the original tuber split from Sluka's personal collection.

I will be posting them in eBay shortly...


Cheers,

Elbert.

Hello, the Amorphophallus titanum seeds are currently here!

I am thinking of selling USD $25 for five germinating seeds with shipping cost included!
