Little seedlings don’t stay little for so long. The ravenous things grow and eventually outgrow their grow area. I received a few baby seedlings from Mike Wang in 2011 and I potted quite a few up in a tub. They’ve done really well over here and I’ve been busy separating them into their own pots! Aw yeeeaah! A few of the seedlings really took off as you can see below. There were a also few stragglers caught under the big dudes, and I’ve set them aside to give them more room to grow.
A few folks asked me about my potting mix with these guys. I just peat and a course grade of horticultural sand. The new mix though is peat/perlite and little bit of sand. The plants don’t seem too picky and do well with various combinations of peat/perlite/sand.
Awww… they look so… innocent right now. Aren’t they freakin’ cute?
The baby Cobra nursery, plants ready for separation.
Handful of baby Darlingtonia.
Young Darlingtonia can look so interesting!
Ready for expansion – potted up in their own individual pots!
Some of the smaller seedlings were planted in the bin once again, spread apart to ensure they receive plenty of light and air!
