Lemon - After two weeks

Two weeks, almost forgotten about this pack after the long holidays, we can see the strong tiny roots developed..
The lemon germination pack almost slipped my mind after the two weeks holiday. They're still alive! Upon picking up i instantly spot solid tiny roots already breaking the wet paper towel that was initially surrounding them. So i'm just glad that all the seeds made it good.

I carefully transplanted the seedlings into a seeding tray, while being total meticulous to avoid breaking them. Due to hot weather, spray the tray with water often. We keep the seeding tray under shades at the patio, where we can clearly see the impressive progress of  tiny leaves breaking through the soil for sunlight.

On top of that i keep the soil moist by watering from bottom. Just pour water into the container which holds the tray, but keep in mind that stagnant water can be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. I read somewhere about a blogger who attached his seeding tray on top of a fish tank! I guess this way you wont need to worry about mosquito breeding and keeping the soil moist, self sustain :D
