Title: Myrio Kikko cv red ?
Post by: melckior on Sunday, 06 October 2013 - 15:05:44
I appreciate the opportunity to participate in this forum. I am a beginner grower and sold me a pack of myrios kikko cv red. I have some pictures, can anyone confirm?

I was told that the plants are the largest suppliers of seeds.

hello melckior, welcome on board!
some suppliers call cv. red the koh-yo form.
Are the big plants at bottom the motherplants of the seeds?

Hello Carlo and Daniele, thanks for the info. Searched the forum and did not find results. Yes, larger plants are the "mothers".  ;)

take a look here:

usually young plants are very colourful, big ones tend to change colour less, so they stay green...
I'm not sure but some of the big kikko seem normal form only (nudum)

So not seem to be koh-yo, according to photos. Thanks for helping me!  :)

they tend to change colur with thermal excursion, if temperature is always high they tend to be green.
but seedlings should be coloured anyway...look at these:

Got it, I have no doubt ... You can indicate someone who sells seeds and send to Brazil?  8)
