This is my first time sprouting from seeds. It's been roughly 48 hours since I germinated them. They have about an inch root tail. How long should I aim for the root to be before I pot them?
Also -- if the root tail is curled, when I do pot them, should I try to straighten the root out? Or will nature take its course and fix that?
Appreciate any help!
do you have a picture, when i think curled tail im thinking this:
im sure what you are seeing is normal just plant it. :)
next time if you can catch them before they get that long you will want to put the seed with the white tap root facing up, about a 1/4" deep in the soil.. they need little water at this stage. about a shot glass worth is more than enough, put a plastic bag on top, mist the plastic bag with regular water every day till the first set of leafs show ( cotyledon ). blow a little air into the bag ( co2 ). you just do not want the top of the soil drying out before it can get established, that is the reason i use the bag. i live in the desert tho.
and wait.
these popped up the other day.
i let it get about 1/4" long before i planted.
this was at 24 hours.. just breaking the seed hull.
1 day since breaking ground.
