Seed project update: beyond seed leaves

Cheiridopsis glomerata: the biggest plant is now getting a second set of leaves. I'm really loving these little furry, dotty leaves.

Hoodia gordonii is growing quickly and developing stems that resemble the adult plant. I will need to put these into individual pots soon and I 'm exposing them to more sun so that they can be moved outside for summer. All the growers I have spoken are really surprised that my Hoodia are growing so well, most consider them impossible to grow from seed. My upstairs bathroom, not a hothouse seems to be the main difference between me and them and it just goes to show that just because they come from a very hot, hostile environment, doesn't mean that they shouldn't be treated gently to get them to grow.

The first Haworthia seedlings are starting to get second and even third leaves and some are showing the beginnings of leaf windows or little teeth. The home-made seeds I sowed from my own pollination are also sprouting, you can see them on the top right.

The baby cacti have tiny thorns. Almost all of them are a cylindrical type but there's one surviving little round one.

Pachypodium Succulentum has made a tiny caudex, now it is starting to make a stem.

The tiny green blob of an Adromischus seedling is hanging in there.
