....Of baby Scorpioides! These are about 1/8" tall right now. I have 12 in a small lunch meat tub. My first gemma grow attempt!

Nice! good work I had some grow to be about 5" tall in a little forest of scorpiodes... Once they got so tall and ugly I uprooted them all cut the bottom off leaving 1.5 or os inches on them, put the tops back in the media and kept it REALLY wet for a while... probably 90% of those are still growing today and probably back up to 3" or so now. neat little plants Come to think of it... Mine are covered in gemmae right now heh.

Thanks! I still have more gemmae to harvest so I'll be sowing more! LOVE these little guys!

I think I'll try that approach, Andrew. I read that one can do that with B. liniflora as well.

Barry Rice says he just folds them over gently in a "S" curve and buries extra stem. Less chance of the plant dying that way.

Where did you get the gemmae?

Where did you get the gemmae?

I bought 2 scorps last year. Both are making gemmae.

My eyes are getting shot, I'm farsighted (I'm 51). I use a head mounted magnifier, a toothpick, a safety pin (to help release the gemmae) and a big, tallish white bowl.

Yes it can. I've done it twice back when I had the plant
