Selenicereus volidus cotyledon leaves

Post by AlanW »

Hi guys
Could somebody give me some advice please?

The Selenicereus volidus seedlings (as attached photo)
we're sown July 1 & are growing well-the longest stems are about 11/2 inches long-but they still have their cotyledon leaves attached. You might just be able to see them. Will these drop off any time soon?

They are growing in a heated sunroom (the direct sunlight doesn't hit the room at this time of year but it is still very bright) & I water them as required-will they continue to grow through the winter?

Many thanks for any advice
AlanW

I have hylocereus seedlings around 15 months and they still have their cotyledons.
They will grow if the conditions are right

Thanks guys. I guess I'll just have to wait for them to drop off.
