The Red Romaine Lettuce in the upstairs tank (aquaponic) has two sprouts. One seed has not sprouted, and one looked like it was starting, but has shown little sign of growth since. May just have two in this container (6 seeds sown).
It's about time to round up the plants and give an update. The Red Romaine Lettuce in the upstairs tank (aquaponic) has two sprouts. One seed has not sprouted, and one looked like it was starting, but has shown little sign of growth since. May just have two in this container (6 seeds sown). The Tiny Tim babies are looking a little wilty, but it's only been a day, so I'm hoping for the best. They are downstairs in an aquaponic tank under a light on a 12-hour timer. The Green Star Lettuce has really taken off! I turned it today and had to pull three leaves off due to burn (getting too close to the grow light). I put the leaves in the fish tank. They'll be eaten and turned into nice things for the lettuce growing in the tank. The Glaskins Perpetual Rhubarb plant is doing well. It has the first two leaves and one true leaf, and appears to be starting a new one as well. I'm very excited to get this one through winter and started outside. I'm hoping it lasts many years and provides us with lots and lots of rhubarb coffee cake! The Spineless Prickly Pear cactus is looking fantastic since the re-plant into fresh cactus potting soil! I watered it yesterday (not that you could tell), and plant to water it just once a month to prevent my overzealous watering from killing it. Aloe Vera plant continues to suffer from the indented portions of the outer leaves. The only references I can find to a similar issue online is over-watering or improper soil. It continues to grow new branches and seems happy in the fresh cactus soil. I'm not sure what the issue is. And last, but not least, is #3's spider plant. It was just a little thing when it arrived, and one of the kids nearly drowned it, but it's coming back and looking wonderful! We are going to have to pot-up soon!
