Default Re: First time hardening TC rooted plantlets...

Yesterday, i moved the plantlets that were covered individually with freezer bags,in the PP box along with the rest of the acclimating plantlets as they grew too tall and had problems unfolding their leafs in the bags from pushing up the top of the bags. They were now totally healthy looking and robust so i felt safe to keep them all together.

Today i made the first significant change in ventilation of the PP box as i raised the cover half a cm above the box and it now has about 1-1,5cm gap all around,with 3-4cm gap at part of the small sides. I had gradually been raising the cover more and more so this was the immediate next increment but made the gap several times bigger. The plantlets have been guttating a lot in there so i am confident this wont affect them negatively. They have to hurry up and acclimate fast as they wont fit in the box comfortably for much longer,many are just a few cm from touching the cover!!!

Looking forward to their full acclimation!!!
