They're now 3 months old.
I noticed a little mold on top of the dirt in some of the cups. I took them out of the upside-down-reused-store-bought-cake cover, and cut a few more drainage holes in the bottom of a few of the cups. (Remember, all these containers are re-used.)
I looked it up online, and it turns out that a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water is both
1) a mold-killer and
2) a plant food.
Go figure.
I watered them a week ago with a mixture of 1c water to 1.5 tsp 3% hydrogen peroxide, and they seem much healthier and happier. The new leaves have been growing in even faster.
This is the same plant as the one pictured in my last orange seedling blog entry (direct link to the photo)
This is the biggest of the new generation of leaves:
I just like how this one looks like a dancer:
