Some of my favorite seed grown plants from this year’s grow season. Everything is sown and grown outdoors under shade cloth no humidity used to germinate them. All plants start receiving slow release fertilizer at about the 1 month mark.

This group was sown 08/01/2026

Pics 1-4: Boswellia Asplenifolia
(Sent small batches to friends to test and kept the rest)
Easily one of my favorites in the genus.
went through a minor spider mite attack that was treated very quickly once found and recovering very well.

Pics 5-6: Operculicarya Borealis
Low stock/ Left over seeds stock

Pics 7-8: Aloe Pillansii
Didn’t make the cut.
( only 3 sprouted out of 30 sown)

Pics 9-10 Euphorbia Guillauminiana
Low stock/ left over seed stock.
I was not expecting this one to germinate as profusely as this one did since they older/ left over stock.

Pic 11: Welwitschia Mirabilis
Some of the ones I kept after testing them. Grown only in pumice and topped with starkle G and slow release fertilizer.

O. decaryi germination rates are pretty low at around 15-20%, but D. elephantipes are surprisingly easy. 100% germination rate so far. The Dioscorea seeds were actually harvested in 2021 and frozen, and I soaked them in RO water for 14 days until their radicles emerged.

Planted this seed around Juneish. They seem happy.
