| Daylily Seedlings Mid Winter. 1.24.16 |
I wonder it they are just going dormant, or headed there. It's either that, or some sort of ailment.
I don't know what drives daylily dormancy - daylength, intensity of sunlight, or temperature. Some of these changes started while still under lights inside. Not that cold, and daylength is 14 hours.
It's also possible that they reach a stage then stop, until the next season.
At least one of the brown-leaf plants has a crown of new growth. Maybe it is dormancy.
It's so unseasonably warm outside, I moved them out doors for some rain and light and moving air. Maybe they will do better, or die off.
This is my first try with daylilies from seeds. I don't know what to expect.
Daniel, they don't look all that bad. You can expect some seedlings won't make it.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I've been losing regular house plants--a spider the most recent. I did some minor replanting yesterday, as a matter of fact.
They didn't look too bad. I think they maybe too crowded and the roots need more room and air. Your potting mix maybe too rich also. I don't think the daylight hrs or temp has anything to do with it. Yeah things that are grown indoor definitely needs air movements that can be a big factor too.
ReplyDeleteActually there are more seedlings than I will know what to do with, so if some don't make it, I won't complain.
