What's going on with my AK auto?

So November 18 is when she popped out of her shell and it’s been 9 days, is this normal?



It is overwatered, which causes stunting. Let the soil dry out before watering again. Plants only need a couple ml of water per day at this point.

A good method for seedlings is to not water the soil at all and instead put a clear dome over the seedlings. Mist inside the dome a couple of times each day. The plant can get all of the water it needs via the humidity in the dome. A clear Solo cup or a cut pop bottle will work fine. I suggest not doming it until that soil dries out.

Ya looks fine to me. Roots are developing, hence the delay. You have leaves now, so just watch overwatering. Water a small amount around the plant, but not directly on it. Sorry you may already be doing that, but figured I’d add.

Thank you so much for your support, I swear without my ilgm family I’m lost lol, but advise taken fully much appreciated :heart:

no problem. On the second pic, as @MidwestGuy stated, it is overwatered. Plants that side use only a few ml of water. I dome mine and just spray the dome until they almost touch the dome sides.

Something to consider, start it in a solo cup, and weigh it when the soil is dry, then moisten the soil, and plant your seed with a baggie over the top. Once it comes up, don’t water again until it weighs just a little over what it did when it was dry. That way you’re sure not to overwater.
