SOWING DAYLILY SEEDS
Posted: September 19th, 2012, 11:28 am
After going through the various advices (on internet) I modified it to make it simple
I kept the seeds in refrigerator for 2 weeks, Soaked them over night in a weak solution of Hydrogen per oxide (to my surprise some were showing a white dot the next day).
I selected 16 0z plastic drinking glasses, made holes at the bottom and placed ¾ inch of washed gravel at the bottom (to prevent them from toppling), next I packed them with a moist mix of 70% Peat & 20% perlite. I planted 6 seeds in each glass ½ inch deep and placed the glasses in a trough of water to let them absorb as much water as they could, next I placed them on a tray to drain out the excess water. After few hours I placed the lid on the glasses, the lid will remain there until sprouting (no watering).
Two weeks later I will start bottom feeding them with 50 PPM N NPK2-1-2, the strength of feed will keep increasing with the growth of seedlings.
