I used the floating method on 2nd July. By 4th July, the seeds had opened and were transplanted into pots with a humidity dome. The dome was removed from the Mandarine on 5th July, when the seed emerged.
- Ambient Conditions: The ambient temperature fluctuates significantly, ranging from 26ºC during the day to 10ºC at night.
- Substrate: I'm using a custom substrate (live/organic) mix for 15-liter pots, consisting of:
Bone meal
Yoorin Ekosil (potassium and silica from rocks)
Earthworm humus
Vegetable soil
Chicken manure
Isopod Compost
Coconut coir
Organic matter
Perlite
This mix is designed to provide a well-balanced nutrient profile and excellent drainage to support healthy growth throughout the cycle.
