Growing bald cypress trees from seeds – Reddit Post

I had just finished typing a detailed post when I accidentally blew it all away. :’)

The jist was, has anyone grown these guys from seed and would you share your experience? All the conflicting information online could give a girl whiplash, lol. The most appealing approach I’ve seen is to not over complicate it, just keep it moist. I need about 9-12 trees in total for my aquariums (the photo is not mine but just an example of what I’m recreating), approximately how many seeds should I order?

My plan of attack thus far is a seedling tray, humidity lid, perlite only as substrate, drainage pan filled with hydroponic fertilizer and a heat mat below it all.

Thanks for your time.
