This is how mine look today - started with 40 seeds, 35 germinated and went into their own pots. 7 failed to thrive upon repotting. I think I rushed them a little but I'm really happy that I have 28 young plants looking good. I don't think they will bloom this year though.

After looking at a lot of youtube and other DG Epi growers pics and comments I am using more hanging pots for more of my Epis. The 8 inch hanging pots I'm using have a small plastic dome in the bottom which creates a water reservoir instead of having the dish attached outside. I'm seeing better growth that way than with pots on the benches which seem to dry out too quick.
