The Monilaria moniliforme germinated very quickly after 2-3 days in the greenhouse. 16 out of 16 seeds germinated and 13 of those have survived to develop true leaves which came in after 3 weeks.
The Pleiospilos nelii took a few days longer than the Monilaria to germinate but grew very rapidly in size afterwards. 15 of 16 seeds germinated and 12 of those are still kicking. As of today, they're just beginning to split and show the true leaves inside. Unsure whether they just take longer or if me sun stressing them didn't help -- they got a little red around the edges and don't seem to appreciate being directly under the grow lights.
And Dinteranthus pole-evansii seems to be a very heat-loving species. Germination took 3+ weeks and only happened after a heat wave where temperatures in the greenhouse peaked at 39 C. Every time we have another hot day, a couple more seem to pop up. Current germination count is 10ish of around 50 seeds that I just chucked in there -- the seedlings are extremely tiny when they first sprout so it's hard to spot them among the rocks. I suspect these guys aren't done cooking yet anyways.
