Hey Kent, Mine are doing great. As you saw in the photo above I germinated them in perlite. After they germinated I placed them in a community pot. I didn't have a problem with them pushing up on me. I guess I must have planted them a little deep. They were getting full sun while in the community po...

They were placed in a community pot after germination. Today I seperated them from the pot. Now I have 10 one-gallon containers of them. :)

Barb, I use to have like 30 of them. That's the shadiest spot I got outside right now. It's on the East side of the house so it gets shade after 1 to 2 pm. I water them every other day. I may need to step it up a notch. I was told they had a fungus that's why I was leaning towards the dry side. Dean

They are just little one-gallons. I'll get a pic posted soon. I like how the frogs have taken up residence among your plants. When I water outside in the evenings I have noticed I got some toads among my plants.
