Re: Dragon Fruit...


I'm sorry to say that after two attempts I've had no germination at all. I thought perhaps I hadn't washed the gel off thoroughly so tried again, still nothing.

I have wondered if perhaps the envelope was x-rayed when it went thru Customs ... I normally have a quite green thumb.

Re: Dragon Fruit...


I have to confess I have had no germination either. My little seeds looked to be already splitting when I planted them and I was so hopeful but nothing has happened.

Re: Dragon Fruit...


Glad I wasn't the only one then, Angie. Guess I can scrub the x-ray theory, Maybe the seeds have a short viability span???
