Ina, do you boil your water first before placing the seeds into moist perlite? I have two seedlings of Hipp. Harrisonii (1.5 inch leaves) that I've begun to change from a "normal" environment to growing in wet soil from then on. But at this point a person wonders about a possible mold attack. And, I sometimes wonder if very young plants need the presence of certain soil microbes in order to thrive. And, what about the concept that plant roots need oxygen? We need more plant scientists in our bulb community...
