Well, I got some FD seeds from a member, and put them in root riot cubes. I sort of kept them watered. Just checked. Woo Hoo! Two little trees, and the others show promise!

They will be potted tomorrow in one gallon pots, and on a drip system. Love the rooting cubes because it's a no stress transplant!

If they are just new little seedlings, I would let them get some growth before going directly into a 1-gallon container. The number one killer of young seedlings is Rhizoctonia, caused by the medium staying too wet too long. I would recommend watering them only in the morning, and then setting them in the sun so the surface of the medium quickly dries. - Millet

Thanks! It will be in the high 90's today, so I'll put them in morning sun only. Their roots are fat and white! I have never propagated any citrus seeds, and this is an adventure for sure! I want them for root stock for dwarf trees along our frontage. Fingers crossed for the rest of them!
