Growing Dragon fruit from seeds - 2nd batch

6 Feb 2019:
This time propagating on tissue paper first.
Picked out 30 seeds from a dragon fruit.

Left on open shelf outside balcony. (Bright area)


9 Feb 2019 3 days.. All except for 1 sprouted! Will wait a few more days before potting them.

11 Fen 2019: 29 seeds sprouted. Roots already stuck to paper towel. Damaged a couple of sprouted trying ti take it out.  Instead of breaking more roots, I ripped up the paper up and planted the sprouts with the paper towels attached.
 29 little sprouts, hope they'll all grow well.

25 Feb 2019

Not doing well. More than half suddenly died off and disappeared! Could be due to a very hot sunny day.

Growing Perino Tomatoes from seed

Image
10 Jan 2019: my friend told me I can slice up a tomato, take the rind/skin off and lay it on a bed of soil and scatter a light layer of soil over it. Water and let it grow! I did just that with store bought perino tomatoes. 16 Jan 2019: 3 tomato seedlings. 22 Jan 2019: More seedlings. 30 Jan 2019: no new seedling and 2 seedlings started drooping down. Decided to repot the healthy strong looking ones into little cups. And left some to see if they still survive. 5 Feb 2019: More seedlings sprouted from the original box! V And the ones in their own cups still looks ok. They have extra leaves. 27 Feb 2019 - seedlings are varied in sizes. Seems like depending on pot size. Some seedling died due to strong wind. Current location is indoor.
