i kept mine soaking wet. i know what you mean though. it's like they root on the surface. i had over 200 sprouted and they all dried up in a few hours in the sun. i replanted the few i had left and kept the soil VERY moist. as they grew i gently buried the roots. they are very delicate. out of 300 seeds i have 6 plants that made it. next year i should have better results.
keep them very moist.
i don't remember replanting mine.FDD - you said that you replanted yours. Did you have a good success rate with that? Just curious. I was told that they really dislike transplanting, so in the past I've just scattered tons of seeds in flower beds and let them grow there. Out of hundreds of seeds I might get a dozen plants.
i don't remember replanting mine.
spray bottle. mist them. heavily.The problem I have is when they first sprout it is impossible to water without killing them,, how how how do u water these sproutlings without killing them???????
