Nice plump babies! What kind of soil are you using?

Tracy

Very nice healthy looking seedlings you have.

Hi Tracy,

I use miracle grow and sift out the big chunks, then I add some perlite and turface.

Thanks for your comments!

Mark

Thank you Mark. I am trying out different combinations for my seedlings and love to hear what everyone else is using or has tried.

Here are some updates photos, which I hope come out the right orientation!

I like that you can see the various traits in the leaves.

They look great Mark. Quite interesting seeing the different forms growing side by side. Also nice that there are yourself, Pagan and myself growing the same seed. I like that we can even compare notes/photo's of them.

When you guys grow from seed, what traits are you looking for? I only have one plant from seed. It just bloomed for the first time about two weeks ago, but it's a pretty standard pink and white.

Thanks, Rick. I feel like I've done the bare minimum right to get to this stage. As soon as it's done blooming, I'm going to repot into a gritty mix. I think the soil I've had it in is a bit restrictive, leading to a smaller caudex than I would like. I'm wondering if the little guy could use a trim. I'll post here for advice later in the summer. You all are a great resource. I'm extremely appreciative.
