Have you ever done it? .....what uppen after? her cats are destroing my plants , so no even more indoor plants
Think it through Sal - if she had a Lapageria it would only be fair for you to buy yourself one of these................... Cantua buxifolia!
I wish! They bloom in the spring on last years growth, so don't prune. I've got two now as my sister bought me one for my birthday. Kristen - I've no idea what you mean!
Sal - Charlie replied to my post on another forum:- There are two good sources for fresh seed http://www.chileflora.com Michael has started sending the Lapageria seed out still in its pods usually in our spring time. and not sure how he is placed at the moment (last time I spoke he had a bit of a crop failure) but Mike Jeans at http://www.tomorrowsplants.com also produces some fresh seed mostly in our autumn time. The trick with them is just patience, they are not too bad germination wise (usually about 4-6 weeks) but after that they are just plain slow! He also showed his Lapageria flowering in its third year.
PeterS , thank you ever so much , when I post a thread my hope is to get an answer like that , those site will never appear on google search... thank you again
And after a long long search , finally my plants are flowering the white and the pink just lost al flower with no fruit , on the other hand , finger cross the red I`ve hand pollinate it`s seam it`s producing flowers ..finger cross
Longk , I travelled 3 hours to get the plants , for the simple reason that I wanted to know any secret about them , actually there is a secret about this plant . I hope that they will produce seeds , I pollinate alle the flower and it seams that work , but not sure yet untill will have them , but finger cross If I manage to get fresh seeds you and anyone else will have seeds .... this plant it`s not easy unless you respect the few simple rules
unfortunatly the only way to get a plant it`s by seeds ...end of story .... no division , no cutting , no other way of propagation , that`s the main reason of the price and why the are so rare to get ...
Which are ? I believe Charlie Pridham, http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk/ ,won't send them through the post because they won't travel.
