| Hello everyone,
A couple weeks ago I ordered some monks hood seeds (aconitum napellus) and im having a few problems germinating the seeds. (I have to grow indoors right now.) I tried a couple methods, and waiting on a set right now. First method was to plant a few seeds in a pot, and let it
The other method was soak the seeds for 2 weeks in a
If anyone can offer any INDOOR growing for aconitum napellus, that would be greatly appreciated. |

| Your expectations of how long germination is going to take needs an adjustment - aconitum from dried commercial seed takes patience. And when some germination does take place, it can be erratic, meaning not all seedlings will appear at the same time - they may be days, or weeks apart. Self sown by the plants, the seeds would be exposed to warm (relatively speaking) Fall rains, then a cold moist winter, to germinate close to Spring when temps begin to warm again. You can do that by giving the seeds a warm moist period of 2-4 weeks, moving to 40F for 6 weeks, then bringing back to warm. |

| Morz8, thanks for the help, but I do know they have differing periods of germination. I had atleast 3 sets sitting in 30-40 F temperature for 3-4 weeks, and still waiting for germination. I do know they have different temp ranges.. so I guess keep on waiting.. |
