Cephalotus seed

[blackboxstar]

For anyone who has worked with cephalotus seeds in tc before: do you have any pointers? What sterilization has yielded good results for you? Any lessons you learned the hard way?

I sown some cephalotus seeds, the sterilization was with bleach at 15%(bleach 15mL + water 85 mL ) for ten minutes. There no were contamination after three months, but none seeds germinated.

I disinfect Cephalotus seeds with 10% bleach for 6 min and 4 min rinsing. and I also did 15% for 6 min and 4 min rinsing. No contaminant yet and I treated my seeds first with GA3 for 24 hours. No grow yet but it is to short after sowing them on TC media.

I keep you up to date

But when seeds are older then 3 months you must use GA3 other you have almost 0% germination Cephalotus seeds are very difficult.
