Hi Bernard,.

This is the description for Bjorn. I still don't have their own Erfahreungen.

Flat sowing in each humic-transmitting substrate at about 15 ° C to 20 ° C in a sunny location. Vulgaris first or the first two winters of frost at least 5 ° C at a sunny location and moderate watering cultivating seedling plants of Dracunculus, as long as the plants are green. Keep completely dry after moving of the foliage at 5 ° C. Planting takes place at the end of spring in the second or third year.

Hi Bernard,.

I've even already seeded D. vulgaris; However was already a few years ago.

It is important fro rauszuholen the seeds of the berries. The pure seed about 0, 5cm deep in loose soil to sow.

Since there are already a couple of years ago I'm not sure if she equal or germinated until spring and then the first summer to autumn and then the winter grown through.

Well, anyway, they then had their normal Wachstumsrhytmus from the second year. In the summer rest and driven then starting in the autumn and the spring growing season. I've given it during the growing season in the winter garden at about 15 degrees, the chance to give the tuber to grow ever larger. This may be the real problem for the cultivation of seeds to grow more plants. I had then lost patience after 3 or 4 years and the young plants to the older. Since the tubers are still very small, you can not deep put enough in the garden to survive the local winter.
Result: A single plant has succeeded of 30 seedlings.

Since I also had a fruit stand on my plants, I tried this year again.
Let's see what is out of it.

Many greetings
Ortwin

Hi Bernard,.

my plan is to divide it the seeds. Are enough, Yes. A portion is stored over the winter in dry and in wet Spaghnum. Both are sown in the spring. Another dose will be seeded immediately and meet outside. If there a shoot appears, moves the pot in the winter garden or quite pure. The last part will be frozen for about a week as a precautionary measure as we have here in the big city of every winter frost and comes out up to then.

Next year I know perhaps how it works.

Here is my plan .
I have planted a few seeds in a Jiffy peat balls. You will stay in the apartment.
I hope that they germinate until Christmas. The manual I have times from the Internet, aimed at about 20 degrees 1... Last 3 months.

The rest is in the refrigerator until spring arrives, I'll sow them then.

Hello everyone
I also got a good amount of seeds today. I've seeded most directly in a mixture of peat and potting soil sand. The seeds lightly pressed, not covered. The pot is now in my cold room under artificial light and some day light (stop basement room). The rest I have put in the fridge, and I will sow in the spring.

Funny, how long that will take, until you get decent tubers gets.

Hello everyone!

The best results are achieved when the seeds sown in the fall and in a cold room/greenhouse at 5-10 ° C kept slightly moist. In the warmer areas/rooms I'd have concerns that the seeds in damp rot...
Don't worry with the sowing, for Mediterranean Geophytes is autumn spring

As Ortwin has mentioned the planting depth of extraordinary importance - is and even 1/2-year tubers you may quietly burrow 30 cm and deep, may be covered with a layer of leaves and below well drain Act. The plants appear anyway only in the advanced spring, the sooner they are older/bigger. So far there were at least still no problems with lost tubers over the winter (and last winter we had here biting-23 ° C).

Hello

None of the seeds in the peat balls has germinated. Mid-April all contained only a yellow sauce...

I have sown the seeds from the refrigerator to the 15.4.
Mid-May was put the bowl in the garden
and 6 where later (midsummer), I saw the first seedlings.

Very interesting, because in the 39 days (15.5-24.6) the night temperature was over only 20 times + 10C°. The past 11 nights, up to 24.6, were all warm (+ 10... + 15C °). Dracunculus BC needs well but not as much heat as I thought.

How I can do the advanced culture in the fall is still unclear, Fatemeh report pointing clearly to the issues.
Anyone has success with berries?

Greeting Olvi

Mine are sprouted early March and grow since that time. I assume that they are mixed in the winter to feed in the late spring. Then they should go into their normal Wachtumsrythmus.
The a plant that has survived from the previouse sowing this year had a height of 30 cm.

Hello everyone
The shell in the post #11 stood outside all winter, covered. At the end of October, the leaves wilted.

While digging today, I found that at least 90% of seedlings formed a tuber. They are small, diameter 3 ... 10mm. Looks like the deeper the tuber has dug in, the bigger it is. The shell is 9 cm deep. The tubers look good but haven't started growing yet. I turned everything into a bigger pot.
Has anyone else looked at how the seeds of last summer are doing?

A small amount of the unearthed tubers.

With me, the pot stood outside throughout the winter, after the seedlings are fed in the fall.
Already a few weeks ago the first plants came back and have already a pretty decent size.
