Wish me luck! ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฅน I'm attempting to get some #SwallowtailPlant seeds to germinate and grow! Everything I have read online seems to say that these are really difficult to germinate (and even propagate by cuttings) so I'm counting it as a success if even 1 of the 5 seeds germinate. ๐Ÿ˜…

I ordered a heat mat to help keep the temps in the 80s, which is what the seed seller recommended. I'm also following the method in the youtube video that the seller linked. I've got a seedling starter 'greenhouse' for once I have seedlings. ๐Ÿคž It's in the only south window I have, out in the garage... luckily, it's pretty warm (84ยฐF) in there and will be warm throughout August.

I'll keep yall posted (and mostly record for myself ๐Ÿ˜†).

That's a COOL PLANT! I hope you are successful!
@sarah10orio me too! I saw these a few months ago and have been thinking about them since, so I decided to try my hand at it!
