I would move some of that soil away from around the crown

I hate to keep bringing up these sponges, but I would not have kept trying on the seeds if I had not found them. The seeds do great in them, develope excellent root systems and can stay in the forever if need be. I just found some that I must have left out last summer, nary a bit of green in sight, dead looking roots, I set them in the tray of water and they are back growing like champs. Since they float in the water, the roots go crazy and are happy as clams, the styrafoam keeps the crown dry and the roots around it happy.

Sorry if you have heard me talk about these before. I certainly know lyle has ;-). Of course, Lyle used to use them also until he started growing so many. 60 seedling fit in one tray. The light and cup thing just didnt work for me.
