After losing my 6 yr old desert rose to root rot and lice, I went ahead and bought a batch of seeds. Out of 20 mix seeds I got 14 seedlings. 10 which have grown faster and I have trimmed the roots and repotted.
They are now about 7 weeks old. As I live in Norway they rarely see the sun. The soil is still permanently moist getting water from the bottom. Is it time to let the soil dry between watering?
I'm having some problems with mildew on the soil. I'm thinking maybe this can be fixed using gravel or sand on top..?
Also I've read alot about "pinching". Can someone please explain in detail what this is because I don't fully understand how and when to do it. Do I pinch off the top leaves or just "hurt" it a little?
About 2 weeks ago I planted 25 new seeds.
The four larger ones on top are from my first attempt and are about 7 weeks old.
Any tips will be greatly appreciated!
