hello everyone

i posted about 2 weeks ago, about my rex begonia propogation attempt

http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/begonia/msg0623252113624.html?2

now, upon close examination, it seems there are little, almost too small to be seen. what looks like green mold. This is far too small to photograph, but picture 1/4 of a grain of rice, ontop of the soil

some cups have them ( 1 or 2 spots max) and a couple dont

but i can see there is root development on atleast 1

please note : i am using a soil mix w/ cocoanut fiber to retain moisture, for the propogation attempt

also, i have 1 leaf in a cup of water, that already has roots

and the whole leaf is still in great shape. (decided to try both techniques)

Thanks for any input
