Sorry Jim, wish those were from seed, the two on the left of the picture are from JT(the back is an A. Obesum the left front is a fuzzy leafed A. Arabicum) the one in the center back in the black pot is a variegated A. Obesum from Chris and the other three are ones I ordered off ebay(Front right and center are A. Obesum and back right is A. Somalense) sorry. I have three batches of the ones I have grown from seed, the oldest are between 3 and 4 months the second set is about 2 months old and the last set is just about 2 weeks old. I also have one more older one that isnt in the picture because its very pathetic looking has no leaves and no blooms. There has been alot of growth on the ones in the pic since I have gotten them so I guess I am doing something right. I do have a few more that stay over at my moms house 3 older ones(including one from JT) some from the 3-4 month old set and some from the 2 month old set. All from JT are approximately 7-9 months old the rest is anyones guess. What I have done, is the planting mix(which I am told is totally wrong) is 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 compost. I water when needed, fertilize with miracle grow about twice a month, have recently started to make a compost tea for them on occasion when I remember, give them lots of sunlight or I keep them under a grow lite and keep them either on top of or right next to my heater since its so cold where I live. Still learning alot from Wilfred, JT, Chris, and Melissa and figuring out things as I go along. I can say that the seedlings under the grow lite are as tall or taller than the oldest seedlings I have and I the only variable is who I got the seeds from and using the grow lite. Ok getting way too longwinded sorry all.
