Thanks for the response!

Just wanted to give an update.
After 2 months, I have plenty of babies.
Some of them even have 2 leaves!
I think they are happy for now.
I have them on top of the wooden top on my aquarium and under a timed grow light.

I only had 6 that did not sprout and 4 that are growing slower than the others.

So, how long can they stay like this?

Also, the pod grew on Picotee and the only other one blooming was Appleblossom. Not entirely sure if this is a self cross or if Appleblossom is the pollen parent.

Any hint at all as to what the babies might look like? 3-5 years is a long wait and I am way too excited!!
