Beach Naupaka seedlings


TokyoShowdown

Recommended Posts

Hello! I need some help regarding some beach naupaka I collected from Maui, HI. While there, I collected about a dozen seeds from the berries and planted them pots covered with wrap when I got back home in Montana. After about a month most of the seeds sprouted and were all doing quite well on the covered containers. The problem started when I wanted to harden them off and move them into the sun. I thought that the sun exposure would be the "running them though the gauntlet" part of their early life. However, I noticed that as soon as I removed the clear wrap on the containers they would wilt and die in a matter of hours, even without being directly exposed to sun. Now, I only have 2 left that are still in a covered container and are about 5 inches tall. I'm afraid to expose them to the air outside of the container since i suspect they will wilt a die as well. I know they generally live in higher humidity areas in direct sun exposure, but I didn't think mid level humidity would kill them so fast and I can't seem to find anything online that talks about the problem I have run into. So I was curious if anyone knew for sure what was going on or if there was a good way to harden them to a new environment.  Thanks! - David
