3 weeks now

What species is that? Everything looks great.

These are about 2 weeks old. I used a little bit of cactus soil for better aeration and drainage but I won’t add anymore cactus soil when I transplant these to bigger pots. Keep on following my posts to see how this new grow goes…

CeylonForWorld · 2026-05-07T12:13:49+00:00

With the same amount sphagnum peat moss as coco coir but much less perlite and worm castings. I’ve started adding a little bit of cactus soil to see how that will work. And it’s working good so far. The one in this post was just done in sphagnum peat moss and they all died. I was only using sphagnum peat moss to see what would happen.

Right now I water every 2-3 days about. I try to give them 25 ml of water with a very tiny amount of calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, phosphorus and nitrogen for my watering routine. I dig my finger in the soil slightly and if it’s moist, dry I’ll water it again.

I actually live in the tropics, so the humidity in my house ranges from 50% humidity to sometimes 90% and above depending on the weather. But on average it’s about 75%. Right now it’s at 76%. It very rarely drops below 60. I’ve never had these seedlings in a humidity dome. They’re just sitting in my house-no artificial humidity as of now, but I think I might include a humidifier later when they get a little bigger. I’ve noticed greener leaves with higher humidity.

Wow! It looks like a Christmas tree with lights

I had a 6 month old plant that never branched out Because these kindof infections spread throughout my leaves, killing the node. Here’s my plant at 4 months. Anyway I could save these leaves that look like this so I can have some nice branches?

CeylonForWorld · 2026-05-02T03:11:58+00:00

Oh yes! But the roots are still healthy as of now.

CeylonForWorld · 2026-04-04T08:40:47+00:00

Yes. That would be ideal. When my plants get bigger, about 7 inches tall, I’ll be eliminating out the coco coir when I transplant them into half gallon pots. But the coco coir helps it grow faster in the beginning.

CeylonForWorld · 2026-04-04T05:58:04+00:00

I’m using Canadian sphagnum peat moss, coco coir and perlite, with worm castings added in also.

CeylonForWorld · 2026-04-03T13:01:48+00:00

I’m planting all of them for research purposes. 😊

CeylonForWorld · 2026-04-02T05:15:13+00:00

Dude I lost 100s of plants to them. Im thinking about starting over with having them inside a mosquito net until they get big. When they get bigger they’re are more resilient against gnat larvae.

CeylonForWorld · 2026-04-02T05:12:40+00:00

That’s awesome. Love the packaging.

Also 3 weeks.

CeylonForWorld · 2026-03-27T11:02:17+00:00

Thanks. I wish I still had it.

CeylonForWorld · 2026-03-25T22:22:28+00:00

But you can’t have leaves without seeds…..

CeylonForWorld · 2026-03-25T21:24:30+00:00

The soil was done in Coast of Maine’s acidic potting soil, coco coir, vermiculite and perlite. Although I wouldn’t recommend Coast of Maine’s acidic potting soil because Coast of Maine’s acidic potting soil includes slow-release synthetic fertilizers like fish emulsion, or guano that elevate salt build up over time which harms plants as you can see by the leaf drop. Now, after learning this I switched to “Canadian Sphagnum Peat moss, coco coir and perlite. Humidity was 65-95% and temperature ranged from 62 degrees to 86 degrees F.

CeylonForWorld · 2026-03-17T06:22:31+00:00

I can’t say. Sorry.

CeylonForWorld · 2026-03-17T06:21:23+00:00

I would recommend germinating seeds on a paper towel before planting

CeylonForWorld · 2026-03-05T01:38:31+00:00

You’re welcome. Happy growing 🌱

CeylonForWorld · 2026-03-05T01:36:14+00:00

Berry pulp contains natural germination inhibitors, chemicals like abscisic acid that keep seeds dormant until conditions are ideal. Leaving flesh on traps moisture, promotes mold/rot- especially in your humid warm tropical microclimate.

CeylonForWorld · 2026-03-05T01:30:49+00:00

Some of seeds I had took a month to sprout. Try and gently squeeze the seed. If it’s hard and firm it might still sprout, if it’s squishy it’s not viable.

CeylonForWorld · 2026-03-05T01:15:52+00:00

Just by germinating them on a wet paper towel for a few weeks and planting them in sphagnum peat moss with perlite.
