My sarra seedling
 

Just sharing my sarra seedling grown from seeds.

S. leucophylla var. alba - sown Dec 21, 2007 and got germination on Jan 2008.
This is the eight month old seedling:

On May 24, 2008, I moved a few to individual pot to see if they will grow better individually, you can compare the result :smile:

Nice little seedlings you have there Wijaya. It will be interesteing to see how they colour up as they get older.

Re: My sarra seedling
 

Thanks Strath76, those are my very first batch of sarra seedlings, surely will love to see them colors up. Hopefully :smile: but it is a pain seeing them grow so so slow for lol. Any tips to boost them faster?

Hi Ed, your seedling are so lovely, looked like corals in the sea by one glance. I have some growing slowly too. It's now about three inches after more then a year. Where did you place your seedling? they seem to look too greenish.

Wow....the small sarra so cute.....:1thumbup:
TS say the truth...Really like corals in the sea.....so beautiful...:wub::wub:

Re: My sarra seedling
 

@TS: Thanks, indeed after you said it, it looks like coral. :biggrin:
Now, on 'too greenish' is that bad or is that good? :unsure: The individual pot one is put in my small 'seedling GH' and as for the whole tray I still kept them in ziplock bag, changing the water by every month only, the bag is exposed to few hours of morning sun light.

Hi Edy, what I meant was I'm sure your seedling will look better if they are supposed to have colour, the S. leucophylla var. alba should be an exemption. :2thumbup:
You stiil keep your sarra seedling in ziplock bag? After mine had germinated, I have already exposed them to the outside world. I left them outside and treated them as what I did to normal sarra. I never pamper them any more (cruel) :tongue:, they received direct sunlight and rain. Eventually they coloured up as what they supposed to be. :2thumbup: hehe.
