Three germinated seeds were moved into one pot at the end of September to start growing some roots. Unfortunately, during the planting the pot was almost knocked off a table and the seeds got "lost" in the  top layer of soil and some was spilled on the floor.  The soil was carefully moved back into the pot and the waiting game began.

Just two weeks later the little trees found its way above surface.

The three seeds did not fare equally well over next few days. One of them had the original seed casing stuck to the green leaves. Fearful to damage the plant, I did not "help" it separate. It became very apparent that the growth of that plant was compromised and finally I used a needle to shake the casing off. Unfortunately it was too little too late and it perished.

Another plant got buried too deep into the soil during the spilling accident and its growth was also compromised. When the two remaining plants were moved into an individual pot this one did not survive the move.

This left one undamaged plant still going. At the time of planting into a pot it had the height of 1.25". It looked like a little palm tree.
