I fill a small plastic cup with soil and place it under a lamp or in the greenhouse.

Okay, so what's the hint, I'm all ears. Anything to help improve my technique, which appears to be less than a 3rd grader's, sigh.

Patty I don't think you'll get a answer... He has been sent to Millets compost pile. Laughing

Patty I always plant seed in a community pot. Once they get to about a foot tall I separate them.

Laaz, how large a pot, one gal? Do you keep the pot on a warming mat? Full sun, sunny window? Any rooting hormone in the water?

Depends on how many seed you plant. The above photos are 30 gal containers.

No heat mats or anything else, just leave in a sunny location.

Thanks Laaz. We'll see how I do. Millet recommends taking off the seed cover. With this smaller amount of seeds I might do that.

I have never tried that. I just soak the seed in clean water over night & plant them.

I have been soaking them in water for 24 hours. Then I peel the outer coat and the brown coat. They germinate within two weeks that way. But thats just what works for me. I have tried other ways with little or no success. Never give up! Never surrender!

I just recently tried a side by side test with some Poncirus seeds. With one batch I removed the outer seed coats, the other batch was just soaked in water. Using the plastic baggie/moist paper towel approach w/ a heating mat at ~90F 100% of the seeds with the seed coat removed sprouted within 7 days. Only 2 of 16 seeds in the other batch had sprouted after more than 2 weeks.

I would have tried planting some too... but my potting mix was frozen solid outside. Laughing

Poncirus can sit for months & freeze. Every spring when I do my clean up I find fruit that dropped the previous fall. The seedlings all sprouting out of the fruit.
