seeds Have I killed this Bolivian Rainbow seedling?

SentencedToBurn · Aug 19, 2014

Hey guys. I havent checked on my plants for a day, had a look this morning and found one of the seedlings all closed up. I havent watered these guys for a few days - don't want to overwater them but I think I've actually ended up drying one up instead. Can seedlings recover from this state or shoudl I just biff it and be more careful with the next ones?

I guess I should water the seedlings a bit more often then the bigger plants.

Here is the pic - the closed up seeding is on the right:

Hey I didn't get the time to grab anything, but last night (this was about 10 hours later) it seemed to be opening up a bit but still looked dead.

I had a look this morning - and it's back to normal! Sweet! Will definitely be watering these more often than the adult plants from now on without overwatering them.

Careful with the watering! It's very easy to over do it at this stage. Some sound advice given to me was get to know the weight of the pot dry vs the weight of the pot properly watered and work with that.

Nice choice in plants btw!

Hey thanks mate. Yeah thats why I think I let them dry out so much wasnt keen on overwatering. But I think I just took it a bit too far. So will now water a bit more often but still keeping the soil dry.
