Weather has picked up, the greenhouse is getting warm during the day, so thought it was time to start repotting last years seedlings. We started mist spraying the pots around the end of January to get the roots going on the succulents, which includes several pots of Agave seedlings.
Today as I potted up some Agave americana, here's what I found...

The new seedling, still with the seed case on the tip of the seed leaf, had germinated almost a year after the original sowing back in Spring 2018. 2 more were found in this state. It just shows you should never give up on seeds in a pot, especially in the case of succulent plants where not all will germinate at the same time as a defence against poor growing conditions during any one season which would otherwise spoil the whole crop.
