hi all I very surprised by my Haemanthus montana seeds. 10 days after setting them on to compost they have rooted and each has a leaf about .5 inch high. As we are having a heat wave right now over the UK and most of Europe I covered the seeds with a layer of grit to protect the roots. Is this OK? I hate to ask again but what now? Do I keep them growing for as long as possible?
