Just wanted to share a hectic sunday, when a wild Baobab forced my hand into an emergency repot at the start of rainy season. This 6 months old(-ish) Baobab outgrew its container, with its tap root growing out of the bottom, plugging the drainage hole. It was raining today and as I checked on...

baobab bonsai

I have never quite understood the appeal of bonsai, so I decided to see for myself what it was all about. I visited Lampies Schoeman who has about 100 trees, surely one of the largest collection of baobab bonsai in the world! He has grown and created most of his bonsai himself over the last […]

Leo huge thanks for taking the time to put all those links together.

@LittleDingus , these guys are growing their first set of leaves- are they supposed to be this pale? They just sloughed off the seed case a couple days ago. For reference orange seedlings to the right.

The ones I've started did start out very pale when they first popped above the soil. I don't recall ever having one get to that size and still be that pale...but many of mine had trouble shedding the remains of the seed coat and sometimes the cotyledons stuck together for a long time.

It looks healthy, other than the color. It does look to have a little yellow so maybe it is just starting to green up?

At this stage, it shouldn't be a nutrient deficiency. Hopefully it'll green up soon!
