I recorded this video because I was quite frustrated when I tried to research germination conditions for Welwitschia Mirabilis. There is so little information out there and some of it is even kinda conflicting or appears to be outdated.
I don't intend to win any awards with this video. Instead, I just wanted to make my research available to help other growers. Welwitschia Mirabilis is a wonderful plant and maybe it will help others to cultivate it at home.
