Oooh, Komi, is that what mine will look like if they ever germinate? Preeeeetty.

Korina (feeling impatient)

This new species was only introduced 2 1/2 years ago and is quickly becoming quite popular. It is a wonderful tiny plant. I saw a photo of the site where it was found, a vertical rock cliff, with this plant growing on it with little bits of soil or moss, a solid carpet of tiny plants. I don't know if they found it anywhere else but this one site. Your plant looks really well grown. Oh, I should mention that it self pollinates readily and is easy to germinate in an enclosed environment (like a small pot inside a ziplock bag).

Oh yes, Korina - these seeds are from the same plant. I can attest to the self-polinating habit. All my seeds come from one plant in a co-worker's office. Basically, every single flower sets seed with no help. It's a very good bloomer too.

This particular cup of seeds was left in the back corner of my plant shelf (not under the lights, but off to the side) in a ziploc bag. I forgot about it for a few months, and voila! it has buds.

I can't believe it can grow on a vertical cliff. Amazing.

Squeeeee! I looked *very* carefully and I GOT GREEN! Three or four tiny specks of new plants! YIPPEEEE! I only sowed them on the 2nd. Goody goody, now I can plant the rest maybe.

Korina (even more impatient)

Well, how do those little buds look now? I'd love to get my hands on one of these. *sighing with envy, pulling out pockets to reveal lent and spiderwebs*

Komi,
I just sowed the second batch of seed you sent me today..I hope they are still viable. I can't believe I forgot them, its been a hectic summer and fall...... Thanks again for sending them!

Korina,
how are your seedlings doing?

I hate to start another thread on micro minis, so I'm going to resurrect this thread.

The White Sprite opened today:

I grow it in this little yoghurt jar with the top open, unlike the other micro minis that I grow inside a glass cookie jar with the lid closed (or some other enclosed space). These are pusilla and Rio.

Congratulations! White Sprite finally did it!

Ki,
Plants look great. I'm looking forward to my Rios sprouting- need to find a glass container. The cookie jar seems like a good solution.

I purchased a plant recently and was able to get a seed pod which I then crushed and planted the tiny seeds. I got green specks, however, in a short period of time it seemed that they disappeared and no plants. I tried a second time and the same thing seems to be happening now. I have them in plastic container with the lid on and they seem to be dry so I water when I notice the dryness. Anyone have any helpful suggestions?
