Orange Caprese Germination

MikeInCypress · January 31, 2017

Has any one had trouble germinating Orange Caprese. I have failed with 2 different attempts. Only one other out of 36 cells failed to germinate and that was Indian Stripe from 2008. One of the Orange Caprese was started on a heat pad and nothing after 3 weeks. The other in 72 degree room. The seeds are from a reliable commercial source.

I'll give it another try but I am getting close to my deadline.

I sowed 3 Orange Caprice seeds last year and had 100% germination. On the down side, I had BER on 2 of the 3 plants. The worst was in a 10 gal container.

Well, I replanted and lo and behold one of the original seeds has germinated. So I will have an Orange Caprese after all.
