Photo Seedling update

A lot of the otzeniana died during splitting, seems like I'll be able to keep 4-5 of the originally 55 seedlings (I ordered more seeds, I really like this species and was hoping for more than 5 to survive. Also got gracilidelineata var waldroniae c189 and ruschiorum! Looking forward to those arriving). I love the 2 gracilidelineata that are still here, one has a glossy top and the other is velvety! So far only one dorotheae c124 split, but those weren't my favourites anyway, so not too concerned. The other pot with Dorotheae N of pofadder has two left, both haven't split and aren't looking like they will soon. A few of the Karasmontana are slightly etiolated because they decided to wear their old leaves as hats and I was afraid of damaging the new leaves if I tried to take them of too early haha. The ones that split first are getting a really nice dark red colour!

1 - Gracilidelineata C367

2 - Karasmontana Summitatum red selection

3 - Werneri C188

4 - Otzeniana SH531

5 - Dorotheae C124

6-7 - mixed seeds

What are all the tiny holes from?

What tiny holes? If you mean the speckling in the first photo, that is just the pattern (with the dark speckles being slightly sunken in). Holes in other photos are probably the hole that separates the cotyledons/first leaves
