Some ever so slight signs of life today on two of my experimental corms/nubs in several different grades of coarse, graded, washed sand I have dug myself - and some in large coarse perlite. All of these nubs/corms came from plants spoken about previously, from large mother plants I "messed up" this past winter with overwatering, and poor drainage. (I think I have learned my lesson, but check back with me next spring!)
1) My one large Florida corm is showing a slight green swelling on one side, looks like a pup starting - today, at 27 days. (I had been off by an extra week on an above post day count!)
2) My tiny Micro Manini A'ea'e nub - this one is in perlite - after 34 days, 4 hours, and 23 seconds of "nuthin' honey" all of a sudden started pokin' just so slightly some new growth! WOO, yes, I say WOO........ HOO! I have been dealing with a slight algae growth on top of the perlite, as per the pic shows. I believe this came from using some rainwater out of a bucket that wasn't pure. I'm carefully removing it, piece by piece!!
