Re: Cyclamen Propagation (was RE: T&M etc.)

I have just germinated hundreds of cyclamen seed that I got from the 
Cyclamen Society in England.  I just joined, and had the chance to buy 
some seed that hadn't sold in their usual summer seed sale.  I sowed it 
on Feb 4 and left the pots on a kitchen counter near a window.  Not much 
light, though, in our cloudy winter.  The temperature is 20 celsius 
(about 70 F) in the daytime and lower at night.  As the various species 
germinated, I moved them to a cooler room with more light ( the bedroom, 
which is unheated and has the door open at night).  The only species 
which has not yet germinated is C. repandum.  The other pots that 
germinated earlier are filled with leaves that already show interesting 
patterns, particularly the silver-leafed forms.  Some of the seed packets 
had over 50 seeds, so I am going to have a cyclamen "lawn."
