Re: Uncarina grandidieri

It's warm and under lights and reasonably damp. It was kept cooler and dry earlier in winter and dropped its leaves for a while. I doubt if it ever went much below 10degC though.

Re: Seedlings stopped growing.

How much are you watering? It's hard to tell much from the photos, except that the Aloes / Agaves at the end look very dehydrated. If you are using containers with no drainage holes, it's tricky to get the amount of moisture correct. Too wet, they get waterlogged and rot / damp off. Too dry and they...
