Ricinus flower (grown from seed) 16th Aug '10

Love this plant Motinot and have thought about trying it from seed myself, was it easy to germinate?

Very easy Simbad...I soaked the seed in warm water and then scraped a bit of the hard coat off (which can be a bit difficult)...I suppose it could be filed off....Planted the seed up singly in 3" pots in a seed compost..kept them indoors in a light situation and that was it...just potted it on and hardened it off....good luck..:>)

Hope you're not after any Russian dissidents, Moti!

Lol...your so funny Wagger...:>)

Thanks Motinot will definitely give it a go now, sounds easy enough:-)

:>))

A real show-off and every right too....love this Moti...very mediterranean!

I know Janey...cant believe how quickly it grew...its lovely...
