I have to wait until the 5th to submit a photo? Just so people won't be bored I will illustrate my question with a photo of a Ceropegia woodii seedling from my own saved seed. Sown the same day as the pod opened it sprouted within a few days. All 13 came up in two weeks, though one did not have roots.

Cistanthe guadalupensis.
Four seedlings grew about 1/4" tall and then fell over. I thought they were toast, but they continue to grow laying down.
Fingers crossed this is not the only photo I take of them ever again.

They say it is good for the soul, so, I confess, my poor parenting skills killed them all. RIP babies.

7-2012, I started Cephalocereus senilis and posted the failures. My failures lead me to join CactiGuide. Thanks to CactiGuide forum, I have tried numerous methods, and received countless feedback. I now have twenty seedlings. I celebrate these seedlings with all of you and make them my entry. C. senilis ssp CactiGuide. =D>
