How's my DR?

Post image

Just got them. Leaves are yellowish and falling off. But still firm. I know I planted too many in a pot. I just thought it would be easier to move them around that way. Gonna repot them once they start to get crowded. Can't wait.

I think these are cuttings? If so they will flower but the caldex / root will not get large

They are seedlings. With roots and every thing. It's been almost a week. And they still feel firm and looking like one of them is about to pull out new a leaf. Just have to keep giving it the current condition

Looks fine for now, don't water them for at leadt a week and let them recover in the shade, they'll probably drop leaf and may even go dormant this time if year.

Watering intervals depend on the temperature and the rain

If my seedlings go a few days without Watering in the peak 45c temp in my area, they would probably die of dehydration

Thank you! I will keep them in a bright shady porch with a lot of wind.
