Thank You Ray,
Sounds, and Looks like you have shared some proven experience with me.
The "pic is worth a 1000 words." It really helps out to see what your talking about.
I potted them in sphag before I read this, following part of a websites instructions, in layers of moss, plants, moss...in some clear dixie cups w/ holes around the bottom edges. I used the clear pots, so I could keep an eye on the root development.
Then placed the pots in a dry plastic tub inside an empty aquarium with about an inch of water on the bottom of the tank for humidity, and covered 80% of the top, for ventilation. I will go ahead and seal off the top compleatly, and just open it a couple times a day for air excange.
I skipped the sugar/water treatment. I'm glad I did, thanks for the clarification on that.
There was quite a bit of seedlings in the Enyc. of sizes from 1/4 up to 4 in. leaves with strong root growth. The catt. had some good size to them too, just not nearly as many plants.
A few more questions now,
I'm assuming that it will be 2 to 3 weeks before I should start to see some growth, and start lowering the humidity??? Or would it be a longer/shorter time frame?
What triggers you to mount or pot up your seedlings after there hardened off?
Thanks again for all your help!
