SEEDLING

These are my 2 year old seedlings in January 2015.

The substrate is the same as for all my other mesembs, but of cause a much more finer grade. Watering and fertilizing will be done every 2 to 3 weeks as I do not want to grow them to fast and fat.
They stand warm and sunny at a southern faced windowsill.

Their typical colour is not fully developed as they do not get the natural sun light here in winter, and of cause there allways is a individual variation within the seedlings.

 

LITHOPS

These are my seedlings of LITHOPS BROMFIELDII VAR GLAUDINAE CV "RUBROROSEUS" in January 2014.
They have been sown in March 2012. The smallest one has about 0,5 cm and the biggest one has about 1,5 cm in diameter. The coulor is not as typical as in adult plants. This will change as the seedlings grow older.
The coulor of the last photo is not the one as in real life. To much sun light...
