2 of mine did start to get their third leave, and then they both starting laying over like the rest of mine did. eek 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. ters

Posted By: angelblossom Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 28th, 2007 at 08:52 PM
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!! wink
Posted By: Shirley4 Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 28th, 2007 at 10:43 PM
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 clp Now I have five leaves on the bigger ones.
Posted By: badplanter Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 28th, 2007 at 10:59 PM
Very cool, Shirley! thumbup

Wow, yours look fantastic Comfrey! Really healthy and great!
Posted By: Dixie Angel Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 29th, 2007 at 03:12 AM
I am wondering when I should re-pot mine?

Comfrey, what size pots are yours in? They sure look nice and healthy!
Posted By: comfrey Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 29th, 2007 at 03:35 AM
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.
Posted By: cancolgirl Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 29th, 2007 at 03:52 AM
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. grinnnn
Posted By: comfrey Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 29th, 2007 at 03:56 AM
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?
Posted By: Shirley4 Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 29th, 2007 at 12:15 PM
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!!!
Posted By: Dixie Angel Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 29th, 2007 at 01:07 PM
Thank you, Comfrey!

When did you transplant yours for the first time?
Posted By: penny in ontario Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 29th, 2007 at 04:29 PM
Well I've got good news and some bad news.....all of my little post are in one of those starter kits and i marked what each plant was and i guess from the condensation, the permanent marker that was on a stick is gone.....totally gone,,,,so i have sprouts but no idea anymore as to what is what....so i will need your help in a few days laugh laugh laugh laugh
Posted By: comfrey Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 29th, 2007 at 04:49 PM
Dixie Angel....I haven't been keeping any records, so I can't say without going back and reading all the threads to tell you when I first transplanted. I started my seed on Dec 15..four days later I had sprouting going on, I'm thinking it had only been a few weeks. Later I'll go back and look through the threads and write it all down and then post it.

Penny...we'll be glad to help you figure out which is which.
Posted By: penny in ontario Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 29th, 2007 at 04:52 PM
Thanks....i know i will need it, it came with little sticks to add in so that you know what is what, and i used a permanent black marker.....the good news is that i have sprouts, but what they are...havent a clue??
I will post some pics later this week , so we can start guessing laugh
Posted By: comfrey Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 29th, 2007 at 07:39 PM
I went back and searched the posts:

Transplanted Seedlings Jan 9, 2007
(I want to add that the seedlings were pot bound when I transplanted out of the small pot.)

Posted By: Dixie Angel Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 30th, 2007 at 03:08 AM
Thank you, Comfrey! I guess I need to start potting mine up in their own little pots...

My leaves just keep getting bigger and bigger, It's amazing, They just seem to expand more over night! How big do the leaves get????
Posted By: floweringchild Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - January 31st, 2007 at 10:17 PM
Hi everyone!
Well, I had to go out of town suddenly to assist my sister. I missed ya'll sooo much, really!

You may not see me too often on our site unfortunately. We'll see.

Wonder egg update: A friend cared for my seedlings while I was gone.

Shirley, I cannot believe you have five or six leaves, and Mark, wow, what, four or five leaves?

Comfrey- your plants are amazing. I just snapped a few pics to show everyone. I'm sort of embarrassed after hearing and seeing the others. shocked
[Linked Image]

I took these pics on macro setting! They appear MUCH LARGER than they are. laugh

Several "fell over" after misting but I pushed them back into soil. They seem to be doing fine. Wondering if I should water them from below now?

Posted By: comfrey Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - February 1st, 2007 at 02:45 AM
Yours look great Stephanie!!!! The stems look very sturdy and since they have their first trues leaves they will start growing out of control soon....I would suggest you transplant yours sometime soon into individual containers. Angelblossom & I both found that ours were root bound when we transplanted ours. And you may find that yours will be also.

Kenny:
I'm also proud of you Kenny for not giving up...You will get them to sprout yet....Need more seed? I still have a few left I could add to your envelope, since I haven't got it mailed yet.

They are growing quite slowly this time around, but at least they are still hanging in there!

That's the biggest of them all. It has taken it quite a while to get there, but they are doing fine.

Thanks but no thanks Comfrey, I still have some seeds. I think I have enough for a few more tries as well laugh , hopefully this is the last time I have to restart them laugh shocked
Posted By: penny in ontario Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - February 1st, 2007 at 05:40 PM
I agree Kenny.....i hope this is the last time for me too....i may already have some sprouts but am going to clearly mark these ones so i know.
Good luck....again!!
Posted By: angelblossom Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - February 2nd, 2007 at 12:11 AM
Hang in there {Penny !! Like Lynne mine are slow growing they started out pretty good but since the transplant they have slowed down I'm thinking the cloudy days we've had here is slowing it down Duh

proud of ya for trying again girl!!

Cancolgirl Yours looks great! and sorry I don't know what the white is some one will know and help you out on that thumbup
Posted By: kennyso Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - February 2nd, 2007 at 12:19 AM
Cancolgirl, do you spray your plants? Maybe it's the hard water residue when the water evapourates? I'm pretty sure it isn't powdery mildew
Posted By: comfrey Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - February 2nd, 2007 at 03:09 AM
Cancolgirl...I have no clue either about the spots, but I was thinking maybe it was water splashed on the leaf or some sort of ?bug/insect damage? I saw a ladybug crawling around on one of mine, but I don't think she can do any damage, so just left her alone.

Good Luck Penny, I hope it works this time around...Just barely cover the seed and make sure the soil is not wet, but damp. Cover with plastic or place in a plastic bag and place in the warmest place in the house. I think heat and barely covering the seed is the key.
Posted By: sibyl Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - February 2nd, 2007 at 03:53 AM
maybe if you post it in plants pest and proublems buglady might know what the white spots are, she's pretty smart with stuff like that. thumbup

comfrey im pretty shure lady bugs are benifical bugs thumbup they should not hurt your plants if anything they will keep away alphids and such

Yes they are beneficial...at least I don't have to worry about aphids on my house plants, thumbup since there seems to be quite a few lady bugs in the house right now.

I just replanted mine[the four of them, one didn't make it ters ], but i had trouble standing them up.. they kept falling over... I think I got them OK now, though... I hope they make it!
I think I underestimated the size of the roots... I may have removed some.. shk
Posted By: sibyl Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - February 3rd, 2007 at 08:56 AM
thumbup and after seeing your w-egg plants i have no dout! wink
Posted By: Shirley4 Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - February 3rd, 2007 at 02:11 PM
Comfrey, I truly think that what you said, above, is the key to the whole thing:

{Cover with plastic or place in a plastic bag and place in the warmest place in the house. I think heat and barely covering the seed is the key.)

That is what helped mine to finally sprout when they were lagging behind!

So, Kenny, and every one else who is going to start over...pay attention to comfry.. thumbup
Posted By: comfrey Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - February 4th, 2007 at 10:58 PM
Here are my weekly Sunday photos...The largest and middle sized ones are about the same size now and I can't tell them apart, the smallest one is catching up quickly and I am sure I need to find bigger pots and transplant again.

Posted By: comfrey Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - February 5th, 2007 at 01:26 AM
I don't think I have super seeds, laugh laugh In fact some of you have the same seeds I have, mine had Melcon on the packet and I think several others said theirs were also from her. But I do think the fact that I have mine under lights has made a difference:

[Linked Image]
Posted By: comfrey Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - February 5th, 2007 at 01:35 AM
Yours look good Mark...a few of the stems look a little thin...which means they need a bit more light or closer to the light. If you look at the last picture I posted, you will see I have my plants very close to the lights..which will make sturdy stems and apparently the leaves like it also. I just hope that mine do not out grow my lights/shelf before it gets warm weather, so I can put them outside. I doubt that mine will have eggs by Easter though, but you never know...at least I should be able to get seeds to share for next season.
Posted By: badplanter Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - February 5th, 2007 at 02:02 AM
Thanks for the info Comfrey.. I will try to get them closer to the light thumbup

Right now they are on a dresser, with the plant light aimed at them from 6 inches or so away... I'm going to try to find a way to get the light above them...

I just went and looked at mine...the bottom leaves are very yellow....I had to do a quick re potting of all three of my plants, it turns out they were all root bound....I will post a picture of them in their new pots...but I just found that the batteries are dead in my camera and the spare set are no where to be found...So when the batteries recharge I'll take some pictures.

The yellow leaves told me...but if I had of looked at the bottom of the pots I would have seen roots, even though I did place a piece of paper towel over drainage hole...Angelblossom, you transplanted right after I did last time...How big are the pots you have yours in? These things make leaves and lots of roots it appears..I am now worried about finding bigger pots, because these 6" ones I am sure are not going to be big enough. I need spring/warm weather to hurry up and get here before I have to transplant again...I do not have any safe place (to keeps all the cats away)for that large of pots in my house.
Posted By: angelblossom Re: Wondereggs seed progress (part 6) - February 14th, 2007 at 09:21 PM
Comfrey I have mine in 4 inch pots right now I turned them over and didn't see any roots, guess I need to go to 6"??? I know what you mean about the weather It's snowing outside right now Not much BUT it's supposed to be in 20's @ night and 30's day for the next few days , still no sun shine not for a few days now or for the next few days eek eek

Angelblossom...better to be safe then sorry, I neglected to pay close attention to mine and it now looks like I will lose all the yellow leaves, since I transplanted...there are all kinds of new leaves forming on the stem under the leaves that are already there..I'll see if I get a picture, my old camera doesn't do very well with close ups..its only a 2 mega pixel and even with the marco on..it doesn't do very good close ups.

Here are some pictures of the leaf buds on the stem under the other leaves...also notice the damage on the yellow leaves...I need to go ahead remove those, but will wait a little longer. Click on any image to make it bigger & open in another window.

My one with the very yellow leaves is still alive and has new leaf buds, but all the other leaves I am going to lose it looks like. The other 2 plants suffered no damage from being root bound..In fact I can see little sticker (like little thorns) looking things forming on the stems and one has what I think is a flower bud forming..I'll try to get some pictures and post and you can let me know what you think.
