On Saturday I cut up the soft foamy sponges into approximately 1 inch cubes.
I rinsed them well and then soaked for a few minutes with a small amount of bleach and then rinsed them well again.
I notched small holes in the tops of them and then just poked the scissors down into the holes depending on the size of the seeds I was putting in.
The following is what I started and the results so far:
6 Moonflower Seeds
12 Scarlett Runner Bean Seeds
4 Acer Palmatum 'Disectum ornatum' Seeds
6 Love-in-a-Puff Seeds
6 Seeds (3seeds in each cube) Butterfly Pea Vine
3 Seeds in 1 Cube of Ligularia
3 seeds Datura Tatula
3 Seeds Datura Raspberry Swirl
6 seeds Ornamental Cotton
4 Seeds Red Passiflora
6 Seeds Cardinal Vine
4 Seeds Crotolaria
On Sunday evening when I checked 2 of the moonflowers all ready had roots large enough that they were trying to pop out of the holes. (I made the holes bigger and put them down further. Also misted tops of sponges because they felt a little dry to me.
By Monday afternoon Love in a puff seeds were showing some roots, more of the moon flowers and a couple of the scarlett runner beans.
Todays results will be on next post with picture.
