In your seedling that yellow tips - its something I was getting in the future when I was "helping" some seedlings to get rid of the seed husk. Some of those tips went green but some just stuck at the yellow underdeveloped phase so I started cutting them off - and then the whole cotyledon [a bit shorter] could develop better. So what part I was mentioning as dry - was not those yellow tips but the edges of a cotyledon, at least it looks like this in a photo, maybe I'm wrong because its so tiny.. |
I never grew dwarfs, so that is new info to me, but good to know that plant is ok. It has a real good healthy color too.
I don't understand why that small plant is yellow, since it's in the same pot as the others that look so healthy.
I think maybe the whole problem with mine was "helping" remove the seed coat. It appeared the cotyledons were crimped, probably from the light squeeze I gave the seed coat. And the crimp apparently stopped the water uptake by the cots, so they never expanded. It was more apparent today, when I could see the cots were separated more at the base, and it appeared there was the beginning of small true leaves. So I gently poked the tip of a needle between them, and the whole thing beyond that crimp just popped off. So now it just has 2 little stumps of cotyledons. It's still alive, but without the food source that cots provide, it will need to start taking up nutrients from the soil.
