Hi All,
I have just germinated a desert rose seed, the seedling is about 3"
tall now
with 2 leaves on top. I still have it in my propagator.

I am totally ignorant about this. What is a desert rose? I know it
only as a mineral. See for example the Hamlyn Guide to Minerals,
rocks and fossils.

It's a name for Alygoyne hakeifolia, and also Aeonium obesum. And (with
Sturt's name in front) Gossypium sturtianum. I guess it's the Aeonium
which is meant.

At what point would it be OK to remove it from the propagator and
transfer
to a windowsill?

Franz
