The resilience of these miniscule Sinningia pusilla seedlings is incredible!

So that day, March 4, I separated and ever so daintily attempted to "plant" them. (Yeah, you try planting seedlings that are a sixteenth of an inch tall and no discernible roots!) Didn't dare mist them, as they would have lost themselves in the soil; so, I bottom watered, and put little domes over the "pots". The tweezers are there for size comparison. Mama is on the left.
