Sophronitis cernua

what happened to your seed pod ? I have a flask of my own cernua selfing and came across this posting. Mine took about 63 days to dehisce.
Into what media did you plant your seedlings. I was thinking about a clay saucer filled with sphagnum but I am worried that the roots will stick to the saucer and I will never be able to separate.

Hi, My cernua capsule aborted due to much heat I think, in eraly january some days above 40ºC.
Then I bought 2 flasks from a friend and they re doing pretty well, I planted most of them in 2 clay pots with Styrofoam in the bottom and just 2 cm of sfagnum. the bigger ones, I put them in individual pots. I will take photos and post later.

I think u will not have problems with the saucer, roots are easy to remove without damage using just your nails.
