(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!!

Fantastic!
I gotta say, that's awesome.
Also I have to thank you for your dedication to this experiment. Many people... Well, many people with this specific niche, will be helped with the knowledge learned from the Filtered Coarse Sand experiment!
And double congrats on the little nub showing signs of life!
