Gardenia help
Help! I don’t know all the technical terms so here’s what happened
I put gardenia seed in soil and covered with a plastic Bag, I put 6 seeds in 4 seed starter pots, I’m seeing a couple sprouts about 1/2 on two of the plants baby pots. Here the best pic I could get without removing the plastic!
When do I take the plastic off. 🤷♀️help!

So when I do this with tissue cultures, once I see leaves or startings of my plants, I put a little stick in to prop the bag up. If your plants get too much of the plastic, it can make them bruise or turn mushy at such young ages. I generally only water with distilled water to avoid the plant getting too much moisture without damaging the tissue. Then I gently start cracking my bag. I generally just get gallon or slightly larger Ziploc bags that have the sliding top so I can really see how much is open. Then I increase how much I open the bag till the plant fully adapts. It’s worked pretty well. I usually do my variegated tissue cultures (Alocasias this way). I hope this helps a little. If I can help at all, please let me know. ☺️😉 It’s nerve-racking I know, so I truly wish you luck with nerves of steel! 😂
