So cute, your seedling. I have ready access to mollissima seeds, but have had little success in getting them to sprout. I have tried ones that rotted, that are fresh from the fruit, old and dry and soaked, whatever. I did find one sprouting in a place that I had planted about 20 dry seeds, but over a year ago, in a shaded area. It could be that it really takes a long time to germinate in the field. This one in the photo is a volunteer that emerged below a bushy Salvia, apparently liking the shade. So this one is about 4 months old and I like that it is growing slowly and not leggily. Now it is out in full sun but watered every day at soil level.

What is an "aerogarden"
