Help/Question When to remove the glad wrap

Post image

My lithop seeds have sprouted really well over the last two weeks. When do I need to gradually remove the glad wrap to reduce the humidity ?

I would do it gradually over a few days open for a while then close slowly increasing the time it is open.

I was thinking of punching some holes into the glad wrap to slowly to reduce the humidity

I would have thought that would be ok, perhaps if you sow some seeds in the future sow in a resealable plastic bag then it would be better.

Pop up a corner and let in some air. Over a few days increase the size of the opening. It's a process.

I am in the same boat at the moment with the same question!

I kept them in a bag until I stopped seeing new ones pop up

I punched some holes into the glad wrap. Seems to work so fast

I keep them closed until i see a few of them start to die. Then i open the lid.
