NANCY'S STREP SEED PROJECT
September 22--I'm a bit late in starting, but I have now soaked two peat pellets and sewn the seeds. This was a packet of 50 seeds and although I don't usually sow all seeds in one sowing, these are...

The seedlings from the photos above have put on growth but not really enough to re-photograph them. Seedlings that remain in the original container are growing, too but not as much. So I will...

Nancy, are you still transplanting them ever two weeks? I guess the streps don't get as big as the Sinnignia speciosas do when you shake up the roots a bit. I just realized that Orange Julep was your...

Alcie,I had purchased a strep from a lady who was a hybridizer in Ottawa. She has several strep hybrids. This one mutated and at the time the mutation was the only orangie color. There are quite a...

ORANGE JULEPThis is what I discovered in my collection. A little mutant strep with unusual color. Here this shows a pink strep to contrast with the orangy mutant strep.Nancy

Very little activity here so I thought I would update my seedlings.I have taken some of the clumps and separated them making each seedling a separate entity. These were placed in a "flat" with soil...

It's strange how strep seedlings grow at such different rates of speed. These are part of the 6 pots of strep clumps I replanted. They will be going into a flat. The other pots are not as big as...

Nancy, how long are those leaves? I can't figure out the scale of your photo. When will you separate individual plants? Are you growing them domed under lights?My "taproots" started branching by the...

I am growing these under a dome. I suspect the humidity helps a lot. I put in a penny in the back and a pen in front for size reference.I have around twenty here. I don't think I will bother with...

Janet Stromberg is a hybridizer mostly of minis and semis. This is how she works--very, very neat!She transplants them at this stage and once in the flat, she takes them out of the dome to live in...

Nancy, Your Orange Julep hybrid looks great. I'm glad that I got leaves of it from my last purchase on Ebay. Your streps appear to be growing at the standard rate. Mine are....languishing. Did you...

The seedlings I transplanted 2-3 times are three to four times the size of the seedlings in the original pot. I wonder how long it would take for the seedlings in the original pot to get really big...

My family had a vacation up north in the mountains in January. I caught two colds and finally had to go to hospital. So watering was neglected. The strep seedlings I put into a different flat are...

This is a report on my strep seedlings.I was sick since Christmas and neglected the seedlings. Some of them even started an absicion line (dying back of the leaf from the tip). They had a hard time...

Oh, no! Sorry more about being sick, though... hope you're all better.

Yes, most are on the compost heap right now. But those I had separated are still alive. I suspect I should have transplanted them long ago but as I said they have been neglected. They probably need...

Nancy, your streps look a little better than mine. I'll take a picture before the end of the week. I have to say, I've been really disappointed with how slow the streps grow. Even from leaves, they...

Alcie, my streps from leaves grow slower than AVs, I'd guess, but I haven't kept as good of track to know for sure. Well, maybe not....I think the average time from leaf to blooming progeny is 12-16...
