Mamey Sapote Seedling Help
« on: May 25, 2017, 03:24:38 PM »
So, my Mamey Sapote seedling has pushed a few leaves, but they're turning a bit brown and look a bit rough.

I had the seedling in full sun, but I also had it near some medium size tomato plants that went through a lot of water, so I was watering them a lot and splashed a good amount of water onto the seedling.

Sooo, I moved the seedling to an 85% shade area - but I'm wondering if I'm better off leaving it in full sun and pulling back on watering schedule (and making sure the leaves don't get wet every day), or what I should do here.  First time trying to grow one so I'm pretty clue-less.

Thanks

Well, this didn't go well.

Looks like the reason wasn't watering after all.  Something got into the soil and ate the crap out of the seed.

About 1/3 of the seed husk and the taproot had been gnawed away.

Man, I really like the flavor, but at 49c a pound for sweet potato, I don't know if this is something I'll try growing again.
