metrosideros umbellata seedlimgs, what next?
"Janet Baraclough" wrote in message ... I left a pot of fresh seed in the coldframe over winter, and a dozen germinated in May. All of them have very tiny leaves indeed (some of them have 6 leaves now). Is this normal for baby metrosideros? Other than being minute they look healthy, and because they are so tiny they aren't crowded for light and space yet. I'm not sure how tough they are; whether to leave well alone and wait for them to grow, give them a dilute liquid feed, or prick them out into fresh compost. Any tips?

Resorted to the old text books which say it will withstand the odd spells below zero. That's as much as I can glean. How about trying all the methods you were querying as you have enough seedlings to murder a few. My individual preference would be to pot into a free draining seed compost and give frost protection this coming winter. |
