Saintpaulia seedling update:

After about three months, I have the first true leaves on my seedlings! (I changed the setup slightly so that the deli containers reach 80-84 F during the day: the first month was too cold, retarding germination) The strongest-looking are the two that came up from Krasnyy Tyulpan (R. Sysorova), which are both variegated, contra to the popular wisdom that this is a maternal trait? Assuming the seeds shipped were properly labeled. The weakest, perhaps not surprisingly, are the from yellow-parented. We will see how many make it to maturity. For now, they will stay in the deli containers until they put on some proper size.
