Flowering spiralis advice
Posted: Thu Nov 18, 2021 9:49 pm
One of my spiralis plants is sending out another flower stalk that looks like it's nice and loaded with flower buds.
For some reason though, spiralis has never wanted to give me seeds. I usually end up with ten or twenty seeds from a whole spent flower stalk, and I'd like a bit more than that...
The plants are grown under a ViparSpectra 300w blurple light in a tray setup, peat/sand mixture with live sphag on top. I do reduce the photoperiod in the winter, right now they're getting around 8.5 hours of light.
Has anyone had experience with spiralis before that could provide tips on getting more seed from this round of flowers? Or general advice on getting stubborn species to set seed?
Thanks, mo_carnivore
