I soaked them for a a couple of days, washed thoroughly and sowed in a clear lidded and punched to-go container with some coco-perlite-based "clean" soil medium enriched with a little vermicompost. I put them outside in 6 hours of filtered sunlight and was amazed to get near 100% germination.
The initial sprouting growth has tapered off and I can see the "mature" growth just starting to form between the leaflets. My question is, now what? They're so top heavy they seem like they'll topple the second there's any significant growth, and I have nothing to graft them onto. Videos on the subject tend to be vague or skip over this part. Should I raise the soil line when I thin and plant out, replant as cuttings, or just have faith that they'll thicken up at the bottom? Is it worth feeding them some vermicompost tea or diluted ferts? They can grow to about an inch/3 cm under the lid before I'm forced to harden them off and consider planting out.
