chelle On February 24, 2015 Miscellaneous Event
Up-potting observation: days-old seedlings thrive in well-settled but free-draining, gritty medium. Loose medium isn't optimal for these tiny, slower-growing seedlings. Wet the medium thoroughly to settle soil and anchor rootlets, and then allow complete draining of excess water.
*100% success rate noted, versus about 60% using loose fill.
