So beautiful - never succeeded in growing Chimophila - to my great regret.
Neither did I Maggi from seeds, but I want to try more. Being pretty it’s not its only quality - Chimaphila is also a medicinal plant. It has mainly the same constituents/usage like Arctostaphylos, but is more potent. The Japanese may be the only ones cultivated, with one important drug having Chimaphila in the recipe.
I found studies which suggest similarities in germination between orchids and other mycoheterotrophic sp. with dust-like seeds (Pyrola,…). That explains my request posted in the 'Grow from seeds' section. It wasn't tried in vitro, as far as I know. I am curious if it would work.
