I lost a number of seedlings from two different batches this past winter, even though in plastic pots, because the soil dried too quickly. Other seedlings I had in the same type plastic pots thrived because the soil retained moisture better.

By the way, here is one of my 9-month old seedlings in a 6" square plastic pot, just repotted. Plant has never seen other than a plastic pot.

Ron, clay pots don't work for me either in my wet tropical climate because of the wicking during nice dry warm days.
BTW, your 9-month-old looks like it will give you a bouquet of flowers from the multiple branches on the caudex. Cool! Please do post pictures when it blooms.
