Another update. Some good and bad news. Bad first - my hodge podge container completely bit the dust - literally. I uncovered them for two days, and unfortunately they dried out so bad they were gone in no time. Humidity clearly important here - I should have known better. Argh

Good news is all the EE's I've been splitting off into their own pots are getting quite large now - and I'm hoping I can wait until spring to move the rest, or find a better humidity container to fit them all. Right now I'm using a plastic bag and a small cage to house those I've split, but I need a lot more room. And I am scared to leave them uncovered - I'm worried they'll wilt and die on me. I may give it another shot - some of these are getting to be a decent size now (maybe another month and I'll test them outside the hood).

Here's the tray - as you can see, not much has changed. Lost a few (either too dry, too wet, or something else). Most still seem to be OK and likely need to be moved, the soil has NO nutrients, so I suspect that's what's keeping them from growing.
