Some blurry pictures of seedlings still in baggies
I made the mistake of planting species in the same baggies for the sake of space, so that'll be a common trend throughout.
Copiapoa Marginata, huge success with these. Planted alongside Copiapoa laui which are just beginning to sprout Copiapoa tenuissima, only got one seed to germinate from these. Planted alongside copiapoa hypogaea lizard skin Leuchtenbergia principus with rust, the rust doesn't seem to be affected growth rate or germination as the pot it's next to is covered in rust but I'm beginning to see T. gielsdorfianus seedlings pop up. I think I'm going to keep them in the bag despite the rust considering I'll be gone for 6 weeks starting next month.
And last but not least, my winter growers.
Miscellaneous japanese haworthia hybrids and conophytum friedrichiea, i believe I mislabeled the conophytum photo
Any opinions on summer watering, my conophytum has visible sheaths and the haworthia are small but at the same time I don't want them to dry up or rot. I gave them a sprinkle last week because there was cloudy days on the forecast. Should I continue watering over the summer or let them go completely dry like older conos/haworthia?
