Water plant seeds

Hi,
i'm testing the Eriocaulon Ratonagiriuni, Hainan and Polaris.
And also a bunch of aquarium/pound seeds (for a paludarium that i have in my mind).
If someone knows if i should use gibberellic acid, warm water or nothing to treat the seed's?
If yes how much time, 4 hours or 1?
Is 40º Celcius the right temperature?
I'm learning the best way to take care of the seeds.
Thanks in advance,
cheers
 
I really don't know how to grow the seed's so i'll try my best! :dummy:

Putted some plastic cup's with a few holes (to let the water flow), some substrate in it.
Hand the cup's (the electric wire is out of the water) half in half out of the water.
Put the seeds inside. Each seed in each pot (to learn which one grows or not)
Hope that benefit's from the stable system (temperature, PH, Co2 and fert's).
What can i do more? :bookworm:
Any suggestion?
Cheers,
 
Some news:
- Eriocaulon Polaris From An Son River [didn't pop up, maybe seed's float too small]

- Eriocaulon Hainan Island [1 from 4 seeds, maybe the rest of the seed's float, just too small ]

- Eriocaulon Ratonagiriuni [3 from 4 seeds, not bad put one inside water]

Trying to find the real names for these seeds, these names are printed on the bag! :eek:
I suspect that some of these plants are not full aquarium plants...
If you know the scientific names please help me! ;)

Wow! The only other thread in can remember about growing from seed was about Anubias. And I'm not sure that was even on UKAPS.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing :clap:
