New Guinea Creeper

  (Tecomanthe dendrophila)   

A rare, beautiful, vigorous but well behaved climber vine, with decorative evergreen

 leaves and beautiful large 10cm pale pink and white fragrant flowers. 

An absolute showstopper when in flower.

Very easy and simple to grow and looks stunning in pots or garden beds.

It grows best in warm temperatures, similar to warm-growing orchids.  It can

 tolerate cooler conditions, and a light frost, 

 It can handle anything from full sun down to bright shade, but likes it best

  in part sun.  It grows well in a large pot in well-draining soil that's kept evenly

 moist. Train it to a fence or around a trellis or tree trunk.

Can be used to cover, walls, fences, garages or utility areas.

WHAT WILL I RECEIVE

You will receive 5 fresh seeds.

Sow seeds lightly just barely below the surface.

Pre-treatment of seed encourages much better germination. The species benefits by planting into a sterile vermiculite mix such as in the photos. We have these sterile potting media mixes available in our store. (purchased separately).

 We do not recommend using standard potting mixes sold in nurseries/hardware stores.

Seed are best sown in very shallow trays to avoid overwatering and planted shallow to the depth of the seed. Seeds need to be kept moist at all times and protected from heat/heavy rain in a stable environment.

 Seed growing is an advanced form of gardening and requires a lot of preparation, observation and monitoring on a daily basis and you need to take into consideration every small detail from the size of the pot/tray used to the potting medium, which should be really be sterile, down to how deep the seeds are planted and where the seeds are to be kept during germination and how often they are looked after. 

To grow seeds properly you need to put in the effort. Read and research prior to planting. The seed is not going to go anywhere. Don't rush and plan properly. Keep a diary too. Make a note of the date planted, weather conditions, everything you can which can be helpful to diagnose potential germination issues.

 Sellers provide a quality product, and the rest of the 99% is really up to you. Please don't blame sellers who have no influence on the end product.

Vermiculite is a great sterile potting media for seeds and can be further improved by

 adding other sterile materials such as perlite, pumice, sharp sand, diatomaceous earth,

 shell grit and charcoal. 

We have a range of sterile mixed potting media products available in our store and they

 are worth considering for your next seed growing project.
