March 21, 2025Q.Trying To Grow Meconopsis Langholm From Seed- Not Germinating.
Kept the seeds in the fridge for a few weeks, sowed on surface of seed compost, covered thinly with vermiculite, placed in cool south facing conservatory. Been 2 months not germinating. Been keeping moist, but not overwatering
