There will be droughts and there will be floods, and everything in between. Everything will be alright 👍

.
Of course.

Hi,
They are still well, all seven are alive, they were transferred to larger containers with some damage to the roots, apparently without damage, two containers fell in the wind, but without damage! I hope this continues, they are doing well but with little visible growth. Exposed to wind and partial sun, very hot at this time, they are irrigated together with other plants twice a day.

Hi,
Had you seeds of toloc yet?
Thanks

I get five of nine seeds sprouted from Pinus maximartinezi from Rare Palm Seeds! 21 cotyledons in two first, agrees with the description.

Mammea americana or Pouteria sapota? Are different plants

Hello, I am looking for a Citrus glauca seeds if anyone has one? Thanks

The dilution of the gibberellic cid product is done at 1gr to 1l of water. This ratio represents 1000ppm. I get success this last month with seeds of Annona coriacea, almost all seeds germinated in few days, but each species is different. If you want to make it stronger or weaker , just add or subtract the product in the same proportion of water , that is 2000ppm = 2gr for every 1 liter of water, 500ppm = 0.5gr for 1 liter of water.
1 liter of water is enough to treat many seeds, so to avoid wasting it, divide the amount you bought into portions of 0.2 grams, maybe a laboratory or pharmacy can do this for you. Every 0.2 grams I make 200ml of solution and it is enough for a lot of seeds. Now here's the thing: before diluting the product in water, first it is necessary to dilute it in alcohol as follows: place the 0.2 g in a small cup, add 3 or 4 drops of alcohol and stir with a chopstick until completely diluted. If necessary, add a few more drops of alcohol.
Once the product is diluted, just top up with the volume of water and soak the seeds for the desired time.

Carica papaya is the only species in the genus Carica, check the monograph of the family at https://herbaria.plants.ox.ac.uk/bol/caricaceae
The closest relatives of Carica papya are Horovitzia cnidoscoloides and the three Jarilla species, possible hybrids should be tried with these species and Carica, if when referring to 'hybrids' you are referring to interspecific hybrids.

My plants of Canarium ovatum are in containers to grown more before put in yhe ground, but are not good! They have dropped all the leaves, they are new but without leaves. Advice on how to proceed? Excess water? Poor drainage? We are now in summer here in the southern hemisphere, I thought it was too much sun and too much heat, but in the covered greenhouse with less light they did not improve.
Thanks

I have 10 seed plants that I sowed, none of which originated more than one branch, I don't think they are polyembryonic, at least in my case.

Thanks for the explanation, although I knew about the bacteria/legume association, the storage mechanism had not occurred to me. Great post
