You may remember me mentioning that I had one that I wasn't too sure was gonna make it...well, this morning, I believe it had bit the dust.. The stem was all bent over, and it was laying "peacefully" on the soil... I'm going to leave it there until this time tomorrow, and if it doesn't pop back up, it's time to toss it..

2 of mine did start to get their third leave, and then they both starting laying over like the rest of mine did. They just don't seem to want to survive. So I decided that maybe that wasn't the pot for them so I planted my avocado in that pot instead and now I'm starting over on my wonder egg seeds in a smaller pot with better soil. Hope it turns out better this time. It's almost as if the stems on mine were not strong enough to hold them up and they just decided to lay down and die.

Cheryl After Mine sprouted I started watering from the bottom when the top looked really dry I just sprinkle a little( couple of drops around the stem but not much as to not dampen off,, All I can say is that it works for me sooo far!!

The sickly one that layed over and died I had pulled out of the pot, but there must have been a little root left down in there and now I have another sprout there!!! I am very happy. Now I have six again Now I have five leaves on the bigger ones.

I think these are what they call 3" sized (thats the size across the middle of the top of the pot). But I am thinking that I will need to try and transplant again soon to bigger pots, I hoping not, but I am afraid I am going to have to at this rate. The leaf span is bigger then my hand on the two larger ones.

Wow. Mine are growing the leafs and all, but they are definately not as big as yours Comfrey. (What r u feeding them?) I almost killed one the other day, I was trying to move things around and tugged on a leaf. It came out of the soil, I stuck it back in, but it didn't have much of a root system, so I thought fursure I had killed it. It's still green and standing up straight.

Well I've got good news and some bad news.....all of my little post are in one of those starter kits and i marked what each plant was and i guess from the condensation, the permanent marker that was on a stick is gone.....totally gone,,,,so i have sprouts but no idea anymore as to what is what....so i will need your help in a few days
posted
Dixie Angel....I haven't been keeping any records, so I can't say without going back and reading all the threads to tell you when I first transplanted. I started my seed on Dec 15..four days later I had sprouting going on, I'm thinking it had only been a few weeks. Later I'll go back and look through the threads and write it all down and then post it.
Penny...we'll be glad to help you figure out which is which.

Thanks....i know i will need it, it came with little sticks to add in so that you know what is what, and i used a permanent black marker.....the good news is that i have sprouts, but what they are...havent a clue?? I will post some pics later this week , so we can start guessing
Started seeds Dec 15, 2006 Seeds Sprouting Dec 20-22, 2006 Transplanted Seedlings Jan 9, 2007 (I want to add that the seedlings were pot bound when I transplanted out of the small pot.)

Stephanie Hiiiiiiiiii!!! I've missed you!!! Hey my seedlings look about like yours I do have 4 and 5 round leaves on some but not on all.., but the sun hasn't been shining here so they aren't getting a lot of shine ..

Yours look great Stephanie!!!! The stems look very sturdy and since they have their first trues leaves they will start growing out of control soon....I would suggest you transplant yours sometime soon into individual containers. Angelblossom & I both found that ours were root bound when we transplanted ours. And you may find that yours will be also.
Kenny: I'm also proud of you Kenny for not giving up...You will get them to sprout yet....Need more seed? I still have a few left I could add to your envelope, since I haven't got it mailed yet.

I'm so glad everyones are progressing so nice. Mine have a few white spots on the leafs, anyone know why? here's a pic.
That's the biggest of them all. It has taken it quite a while to get there, but they are doing fine.

Thanks but no thanks Comfrey, I still have some seeds. I think I have enough for a few more tries as well , hopefully this is the last time I have to restart them :o

Hang in there {Penny !! Like Lynne mine are slow growing they started out pretty good but since the transplant they have slowed down I'm thinking the cloudy days we've had here is slowing it down
proud of ya for trying again girl!!
Cancolgirl Yours looks great! and sorry I don't know what the white is some one will know and help you out on that
posted
Cancolgirl, do you spray your plants? Maybe it's the hard water residue when the water evapourates? I'm pretty sure it isn't powdery mildew

Cancolgirl...I have no clue either about the spots, but I was thinking maybe it was water splashed on the leaf or some sort of ?bug/insect damage? I saw a ladybug crawling around on one of mine, but I don't think she can do any damage, so just left her alone.
Good Luck Penny, I hope it works this time around...Just barely cover the seed and make sure the soil is not wet, but damp. Cover with plastic or place in a plastic bag and place in the warmest place in the house. I think heat and barely covering the seed is the key.

Yes they are beneficial...at least I don't have to worry about aphids on my house plants, since there seems to be quite a few lady bugs in the house right now.

I just replanted mine[the four of them, one didn't make it ], but i had trouble standing them up.. they kept falling over... I think I got them OK now, though... I hope they make it! I think I underestimated the size of the roots... I may have removed some..
