@noy good for you! Very satisfying when that happens since it's so rare.

Happy New Year to those celebrating

My sentiments, though being an old Orange fan, I'll probably dig out my old McNabb jersey.

WOW! So, I didn't hold out much hope for this guy when I accidentally knocked off his cotyledon while I was removing the moisture dome last week: deprived of the nutrients the mother plant saved up for its development in the cotyledon, the nascent seedling is usualy doomed. But the stalk didn't shivel or brown, so I concocted a very dilute solution of a rooting hormone and neutral fertilizer in the water i carefully gave it alone (over-stimulating seedlings can be damaging to the health of the resulting plant).
Looks like it worked! This is an ~extreme~ close up — the true leaves it is forming are currently only about the size of hangnails. And it isn't out of the woods yet. But with it being only the second seedling to develop true leaves from the Indonesian Rainbow plumeria mother's pod, it's the kind of thing that brings me joy in today's world.

@afg all the hairs along the stem can become roots when in contact with soil. If you're concerned about it, remove the first set of leaves above the current soil line, then replant to that depth.
