I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database! Celebrating Gardening: 2015
Thought I would share a couple update pics from this week, they seem to be doing really well I am close to 75% germination on all crosses I only have a couple that seem to be moving slow. I have found that the best growth seems to be coming in the 4" pots so far, the larger azalea pots have a lot germinated but in the 4" pots almost every seed grew so I don't know what to make of it just yet will be interesting to see how they continue to grow but so far so good. I will not plant anything in the 3 packs anymore I thought we could upsize them easily and they are nothing to move, but the plants seem to do better with more room and the roots are to delicate at that stage better to leave them alone and let them grow than trying to upsize them so next years crosses will only use bigger pots. The root growth looks really well and I wish the weather was nicer so I could get them outside and growing in the ground.
