Planting the seeds


This year I decided to venture into the world of growing canna, plumeria hisbiscus, and adenium from seed. I spent many hours researching online at great sites like:

Stay tuned for my seed growing experience. I started planting seeds in early January. They will be placed in a sunny south facing window and kept moist. Here is a photo taken January 5th of the 4 inch pots with seeds planted. The soil is a mix of sand, cactus/citrus potting soil and perlite. I plan to cover them with ziploc bags to keep them from drying out. Hopefully that doesn't hold too much moisture and rot the seeds.
