I started the Danish Flag nemesia seeds in coco coir as the seeds are very small and are supposed to be sown on top of the soil.
The tiny, delicate seedlings are beginning to emerge now.
As soon as they are strong enough, I will move them into my new Harvest Elite Slim. They are supposed to grow 8" tall.
Here's a picture of what they are supposed to look like.

Wow, they are cool looking. DO they come in different color combos?

Yes. All kinds of solids and bicolors. Some are short, some are tall.
Here's a link to some pictures. |

These are some of the most delicate, fragile seedlings I have grown.

These little plants haven't grown enough to notice.
I think I may just treat them as pregerminated seeds and move them into the Aerogarden now instead of waiting. They are not thriving where they are.
If they live through the move, I will be delighted. They look awfully fragile, though.

I got these itty bitty, barely visble seedlings planted tonight.
I do hope they make it!

So far, all the pods made it except one. I will try to transplant one of the duplicates into it.

All pods are thriving now after the successful transplant. |

Are they getting less delicate? I want to see them in bloom.

Yes, they are looking more like regular seedlings. I took the dome off the transplant tonight and am looking forward to seeing them bloom, too!

I am really anticipating seeing these bloom. They seem to be progressing well.

I lost two of the plants to a fungal disease. I am doctoring the remaining four, and really hope they make it.
I am so anxious to see their little red and white flower faces.

The same disease that killed two of these plants has spread to the others. Note the black leaves at the bottom. I will be terminating them today.
I am swearing off tiny fragile flowers for a while and will concentrate on more robust choices for now.

I am so sorry. Is there a way you can eliminate all the bugs before planting again?

I am trying my best. I am not seeing any new bugs on the peppers or alyssum, so I think I am making progress.
