bat plants

i got hold of some at last NOT FROM T+M tho
anyone growing them?
mine are in 6 inch pots with a plastic bag over the top sealed with a rubber band(is this ok?)on a window sill
i think the white ones growing not sure theres a stick like thing comming out the top is this new growth?
nothing from the black one yet????

 

Just planted some seeds so fingers crossed.

 

hope you got very fresh seeds fella and that your not going anywere as they take 3 years to flower from seed
but like all good things it will be worth the wait :D :D

 

Has anybody got bat plants from T&M to grow.
I bought some for a friend.
No growth up to now, I do not know what the growing conditions are that he is growing/not growing them in, other than its in a greenhouse.

Just wonder if anyone else has had any luck.

 

Would be nice Marley, as I say I bought the tubers for someone else who was not into online ordering.
He planted them, two black and one white, but he now says they are shrivelling, even after following T&Ms "ten steps to sucsess".
Mind you the postman did leave them on the doorstep, as they wouldn't fit through the letter box, and it was snowing at the time.
The instructions said they could withstand 37F, -4C, so it was all a bit missleading.

 

Still waiting for my seeds to show:(

 

got to say mine have all but died i think. the black ones just a brown stump
the white one i dont hold much hope for looks like i will have to try again next year
i never got mine from t+m if that helps found some else were.

 

Thinking of asking for a refund.

 

Thanks Marley, I'll get some seed and throw it out in the garden, its bound to grow.:D

Its a pretty big leafy plant we're talking about then.
Need a lot of greenhouse space, if it grows that is.

The plants that I got for the friend have been given back to me now, half rotten, to see if I can get any life out of them.
Dont hold out much hope for the black ones, but the white one looks as if it still has a chance.

I'm not holding my breath though.

 

Yep, we struggle because we dont have the constant day and night heat, and high light levels that they get there.
Also I'm not sure how viable, some of the seed we are sold, is.
As for the roots we are sold?

 

That would be nice.
Just had a look on ebay, can only see the white ones at the moment.
