Rhodothamnus

[Natalia]

Franz, I realized that you have not succeeded in growing mature plants.
 But I still try to - suddenly be able to find what they need for life and development:)
 Seeds already in the ground, I hope that the seeds germinate....

Natalia,
I always lost my seedlings of Rhodothamnus chamaecistus in the summer in the second year. Cuttings did not make roots.

Franz , I get good results striking cuttings in a mixture of peatmoss and perlite under mist .

Otto, thanks for the reply:)
 Do you use in propagation by cuttings heating of the substrate below?

Natalia , I did not find Bottom heat helpful in rooting those cuttings.

[Natalia]

Otto, thanks!
 You stimulated formation of roots by preparations - such as Indole Butyric Acid?

I will try it, thanks.

I have great joy - there was a root from a single seed Rhodothamnus - from seed treated with gibberellin acid and kept at 20C.

Here are the seedlings Rhodothamnus chamaecistus.

Sorry... The second attempt to attach a photo...

Well done Natalia.  Amazingly hairy little fellows.

My Rhodothamnus is just ready to open a flower.  I also have a Menzesia almost in full flower.  Things are upside down this year.

Thanks, John
We also have many blooms in the autumn - Gentiana, Hepatica, Aquilegia ...

My 3 tiny Rhodothamnus which have lasted two years have so far shown no little dot of green for the spring. I've not written them off yet as a few things are just starting, but.....I am worried.

[Natalia]

Lesley, hopefully that will start to grow.
I am also worried - seedlings will spend the winter, and autumn is very wet.

[hadacekf]

Well done Natalia. I wish much luck.
Franz

Franz, thank you!
Hopefully will be able to grow the adult flowering plant. I'll try.
