I've had good results with pelleted seeds but mine do take longer to sprout than non-pelleted seeds. One I used this year was alyssum clear crystal. It's a multi-seed pellet so I placed sets of two carefully and each made it's own tiny hos. They were so easy to get out of the jugs and I don't think I lost one seedling in transplanting. They're blooming now, short and pretty. The seeds are large. I've never tried trailing torenia, just bought 4 in 4" cups a few days ago to use in pots. I tried the upright ones once- store bought- and they didn't do much for me. I hope I like trailers better. Karen Here is a link that might be useful: alyssum clear crystal

Nephrolepis exaltata 'Suzi Wong' needs good humidity but doesn't like soggy soil. It must be watered carefully because the foliage cannot support water applied on it (it could rot). You should trim off the older and yellow fronds, so it will allow more air and light to reach the younger ones. Here is a link that might be useful: My fern collection

The first blooms are always great! Finally saw some scapes starting here yesterday. Sherry
