How to germinate Aechmea seeds?
Verfasst: Montag, 17 November 2008, 18:19
Dear all!
Does anyone have experiences in germinating Aechmea seeds? I have A. veitchii and A. magdalenae seeds that are about 8 months old. They won't germinate like other wind dispersed bromeliad seeds just by adding water, light and ambient temperature. From their look they seem to be bird dispersed so I guess they need some animal digestion treatments.
Any hint is welcome.
Cheers,
Stefan
