Starting Alstroemeria Seeds. 22 Jan 2024.

 These seeds are for the Astroemeria "Ligtu Hybrids".  (Peruvian "lily" that's not really a lily).  I hope they will be a diverse variety of nice colors.


They have  complicated stratification.  First, soak the seeds 24 hours.  Then plant them 1/4 inch deep, and keep warm for three weeks.  Then refrigerate for three weeks.  Then keep them warm again, and hope for germination.


Edit:  I forgot the seeds and wound up soaking them an extra day.  I planted them in seed starting mux, and wrote the planting date and chill date on the container.



Now they are on the warming mat until the chill date.
