I have one that dampened off but the rest are getting more leaves and growing,, Come onnnn spring I wanna get them outside!!!

Still nothing to report but havent given up hope yet!!!

You may remember me mentioning that I had one that I wasn't too sure was gonna make it...well, this morning, I believe it had bit the dust.. The stem was all bent over, and it was laying "peacefully" on the soil...
I'm going to leave it there until this time tomorrow, and if it doesn't pop back up, it's time to toss it..

Fingers crossed Mark that its just resting

I'll post a new picture of mine on Sunday..that will be a week later since the last photos, Mine have all grown, especially the smallest one. I have been watering real heavy and that seems to be helping alot.

Here's an update on mine:

Goood Mark!!!

Thanks!

Yep! The third leaf, on my biggest one, is now slighly larger than a pencil eraser!

Looking good Mark!!!!

2 of mine did start to get their third leave, and then they both starting laying over like the rest of mine did. They just don't seem to want to survive. So I decided that maybe that wasn't the pot for them so I planted my avocado in that pot instead and now I'm starting over on my wonder egg seeds in a smaller pot with better soil. Hope it turns out better this time.

good luch on your second round chermomi,
my second grew alot faster than my first,

Cheryl After Mine sprouted I started watering from the bottom when the top looked really dry I just sprinkle a little( couple of drops around the stem but not much as to not dampen off,, All I can say is that it works for me sooo far!!

The sickly one that layed over and died I had pulled out of the pot, but there must have been a little root left down in there and now I have another sprout there!!! I am very happy. Now I have six again Now I have five leaves on the bigger ones.

Very cool, Shirley!

My 3 biggest ones[who have a fairly equal size] are starting to have their 4th leaf open up!

wow shirley 5 leaves! and marks getting his fourth

I'm so jealous!

Here is the smallest one


Middle sized which has caught up to the largest one


Largest one


Two group shots:

Wow, yours look fantastic Comfrey! Really healthy and great!

I am wondering when I should re-pot mine?

Comfrey, what size pots are yours in? They sure look nice and healthy!

I think these are what they call 3" sized (thats the size across the middle of the top of the pot). But I am thinking that I will need to try and transplant again soon to bigger pots, I hoping not, but I am afraid I am going to have to at this rate. The leaf span is bigger then my hand on the two larger ones.

Wow. Mine are growing the leafs and all, but they are definately not as big as yours Comfrey. (What r u feeding them?) I almost killed one the other day, I was trying to move things around and tugged on a leaf. It came out of the soil, I stuck it back in, but it didn't have much of a root system, so I thought fursure I had killed it. It's still green and standing up straight.

I'm not feeding mine, and I used a plain "cheap" potting soil which I added perlite to, I was wondering if I should feed them though?

Mark it took you so much less time!!! Cause I planted mine on Dec. 15th!!! I do have my 6th leaf pokeing out though.
Wow, they sure don't look anything like compfys; hers are nice and compact and fat!!!

Thank you, Comfrey!

When did you transplant yours for the first time?
