Hi Ivy:

I would advise just planting part of the seeds at one itme.  They have to be
just sprinkled on top of the soil and it's so easy to let them dry out. I
usually cover the pot with clear plastic or glass.  If you can set them
somewhere in the light where the pot is warmer than room temperature
germination is better.

I am now trying to identify the mixed seed I got from the AGGS seed fund.
So far, a chirita hybridized by a man in Malaysia which may or may not be an
annual.  I'm saving seed just in case.  A sinningia which grows a stem and
has a spike of rosy flowers which hang down like little bells, a couple of
miniature sinningias and another which I am told is sinningia sellovii.

It's great fun.
