suffering from crisis of confidence. after transplanting the statice, they started dying. there was one left that i still had some hope (see below), but i think i have to accept that it’s really a lost case. it’s pretty much all dead by now. i don’t know what i did wrong, whether the hole i dug was too deep, or if they were weakened by the storm attack, or if i didn’t pack the soil around the seedlings enough after transplanting them, or i simply fucked up when i tried to separate the soil from the seedling when digging them out.

whatever it is, it’s dead.

and then the celosia. they germinated around 6th april, and it’s now 16 days later, and there’s no sign of true leaves showing.

i bought some schultz starter plus solution and misted some diluted amount on them a few days ago. i think i made it worse. some of the lower leaves started to yellow, and the stems are wriggly.

this is how it looks today. the pencil is to give a sense of its size (also works as a good dibber!)

this is how it looks like with the flash switched on.

tried thinning one of the pots tonight, by snipping the really tiny and almost dying ones as close to the earth as possible, and then picking them off with tweezers. i really hope it works. i don’t think i can handle another failed batch of seedlings.
