Im a first time grower, got my new little project and im really pleased with the development, but I have issues.
I germinated my plant in soil in a deodorant lid. Once the stem was tall enough I buried the seed bit. (dont know what all the fuss is about with germination paper or cotton wool??? the way i did it means no disturbing the seed!!)
I got the embryonic leaves, then the two single fingered leaves, then it started to shoot upwards and at nearly 6 weeks old my plant has started its 4th set of branches off the main trunk and a total of 25 leaves (or at least leaf fingers) but I have some minor concerns that I dont want to turn into major concerns.
Out of the first two leaves, one of them started to grow a yellow spot, which was growing, so I cut off the leaf, that seems to be ok as none of the other leaves have shown any signs of this yet.
My second concern is, one of the other leaves (and only one) has a small hole just next to (what looks like ) part of a leaf being torn off. As I say though, it is the only one to be affected. I was thinking of cutting this leaf off once my baby has recovered from the other bit of pruning.
Im using natural mineral water with "Baby Bio" to feed my plant and im really thrilled with the progress its making.
Any advise regarding my concerns will be very much appreciated and i'll continue to watch my baby grow with a huge smile
