What do u have it in? Is that a styrofoam cup? ;)

Chuy

Correct Chuy, it's a styrofoam cup. When I first trasnsplant little seedlings from group sowing in seedling pans/trays I pot them up singly in styrofoam cups or small coir pots--I prefer the coir pots because their porosity allow a lot of oxygen to the roots. Of course I poke several holes in the bottoms of the styrofoam cups for drainage--the coir pots don't need holes.

Interesting seedling. I'd say if the leaves stay elongated like that then my guess is that it would have somalense genes. I can't wait to see your updated pics of it when it's much older and blooming.

Thanks Mike for the explanation!! I always learn something new! ;)

Yeah, Kirk, they look long here, but when compared to any of the rest of my seedlings they really seem long--none of my other have these long leaves!

You're welcome, Chuy--I'm also learning every day about these awesome plants, and these forums are a great place for info. You can ask pretty much anything--there are no stupid questions, and people are very helpful.
