Hey all,
I met a kind person online who shipped me four Dork's Pink gemmae for free, and I've been trying to grow them with no success.
I received them in the mail a few weeks ago, and put them on the surface of a 50/50 mix of perlite and peat moss, then put them 9 inches under my Yescom 225 growlights. At first, it looked like they were starting to grow, but as the weeks have passed it looks like the gemmae are failing.
I mist them every day with a little distilled water on the surface.
I've included some pictures below. Do they still look like they'll make it, or is this a failure?
Not sure what I did wrong. Is the strike rate just low for these? Were they damaged during shipping due to the cold? Did I mist them too frequently? Too much/too little light?
A few days ago one looked like this:
Now they look like this:
