So I know at least one of you was concerned with the Gibberellic acid dosage I used to get my Andaman Padauk seeds to germinate. So far, everything looks okay (to my eye, I am not a botanist, nor am I even a biology major), the 6 of them that survived germination are growing quite well. There is, however, another issue. My North Indian Rosewoods (Dalbergia sissoo) are doing fine outside of a greenhouse environment, as can be seen in the last image, but try as I might, it seems like the Cocobolo just can't take anything other than high humidity. This isn't necessarily unexpected from a tree native to Central America, but I've read that it can be found in both humid rainforests as well as drier upland forests. Whenever I take them out of the greenhouse tray, though, they develop these black spots at the edge of the leaves that get bigger and spread the longer the seedling is outside the greenhouse tray. Any ideas? They are starting to outgrow the greenhouse tray, btw. So I have come up with a rather amusing solution in the meantime that seems to be working; at least for now. I've put plastic bags with holes cut in the top and taped them around the rim of their pots. One of them has been outside the tray for a few weeks now and other than some minor yellow patches on one single leaf (er, leaflet technically) it's doing fine. Do I have to wear them off high humidity slowly?
