To grow both of these 2 species. Is it using the same way like how we grow the seed of Nepenthes? Humid and moist substrate?

Dom - The hoya seed are very easy to germinate! These hoya seed are like sprouting tomato seeds, no special care or techniques needed! Just plant in dirt/potting mix. I used one of those trays with 72 small (1 1/2" x 1 1/2" cells)and planted them with 2-3 seeds per cell (I had tons of seed!). Almost 100% germination! They form a low bush, so it's nice to have 2-3 plants in a clump when they grow up, but even single plants are ok. Here's a shot of one of them at about 5 months old;  I told Naj that my plants now have 14 more seed pods well formed and as soon as they are ready I'll post more to him to distribute. They are developing a little slower than I expected but I doubt that it'll be more than another two weeks. So don't worry, there will be plenty more soon!   The Aristolochia seeds are a bit old so I can't guarantee the germination rate on them. But I planted them the same way, very easy. I have been warning everyone though about their tendancy to want to take over the world! Make sure that they can not reach from whatever tree or trellis you plant them on into another tree or else start looking at deals on chainsaws!  I have another batch of these growing now (about 30 feet tall at the moment) so should have fresh seed before too long. I'll post or send to Naj when I find it! Good luck! |

Thank you for the info...So the soil must be wet all the time? Or just a slightly wet?

Like tomatoes, moist but not soggy, best not to ever let it dry out completely...I really mean it - VERY EASY! |
