Rhodanthe chlorocephala subsp. rosea 'Pierrot' syn. Helipterum roseum 'Pierrot', Acroclinium roseum 'Pierrot'

My first "everlasting" rhodanthe flower :) going to keep him on and try clipping some of the next ones, see how everlasting they are and if i can make them into something cool :) #everlasting #rhodanthe #everlastingdaisy #oznative #flower

These seeds are going great, however i was going to ask for #advice , all my other seedlings of other species that did pop up have died, i think i overwatered them. Wondering if anyone could help with how much to water #oznative seeds/seedlings? How do i know if soil is too wet since it looks almost dried on the top when i mist it (til it looks wet again, which only lasts 4 hours or so anyway til it starts to look dry) ive killed about 6 common ice plant seedlings :p

@Annettenoosa @nej @kathyb

If they have germinated don't mist as they will die of fungal diseases, only water from below by sitting in a tray of water until it gets soaked up from below

@Addict try saturating the soil before planting the seed so there is less chance of drying out during germination. Have not tried raising natives from seed, except the Helichrysm Paper Daisies which self seed in very warm/hot, dry conditions. @brightcolours

Day 6 or 7, I'm pretty sure :p got a few seedlings per section now :) gotta look up when to transfer them

Day 2 :) keeping the heat between 15 to 25c. Still only these 4 #everlastings #seedlings #oznative so far, hopefully more soon :)

Good luck! I reckon that’s pretty good this time of year!

Planted a few of my easier-to-germinate species about 5 or 6 days ago, so far my #everlasting #seeds are the first to sprout :) this is 2 of 4 #oznative

Been on a seed craze lately, going to try out some native wildflowers :) once it's the season of course #rhodanthe

I’ve got some of these in the hothouse, they’ve just started coming up!

Ive been foolishly buying seeds now as winter starts so I'll have to wait til spring D: cant wait to see yours @jobakes :)

Haha I read you can propagate now if you have a hot house to be ready for spring

I was given a ton of straw flower seeds from a friend. You’re more than welcome to some.
