They were started 30 days ago in a plastic bakery container with moss.. They also were kept in darkness at 80 degrees. One of them has a little roots. All are leafing out even though they were kept in the dark.

I would get them in something like 90% perlite, 10% peat and let the roots develop more before they went in their final potting mix. I'd also get those shhots under some light but it'll be a while before they're ready for direct sunlight. __________________ Zone 6, MO Wish list: Galicia Negra, De La Reina - Pons, Genovese Nero - Rafed's, Sbayi, Souadi, Acciano, Any Rimada, Sodus Sicilian, any Bass, Pons or Axier fig, any great tasting fig.

Richard the coir will have no nutrients in it for growth. As soon as you have roots you're ahead of the game, at that stage I move mine to a cup of perlite and potting mix, 50/50. It will continue to root in that mix and grow. Get some light on them before those buds rot, and use very little water. "gene" __________________ From the bayou, "gene" zone 9 Houma, La.

I have been adding Oscmocote to my coco coir with great results. Your moss mix looks really wet! __________________ Brian Wish list: Col de Dame

I used coco coir with minimal water. The water was made with vitamino.
