So far propagating tropical plants has not been too difficult. The plants in the containers were started from seed 59 days ago and were potted into self watering containers today. The center plant is Caesalpinia pulcherrima - Red Bird of Paradise and the two on either end are Majidea Zangueberica - Black Pearl Tree - Mgambo Tree.

There are other tropical seeds and olive cuttings in the domed tray, and I have switched to a mixture of 80 percent perlite and 20 percent peat moss, additionally, I read that it is better to spray the inside of the dome to maintain the humidity rather than spray the cuttings. We will see how that goes.
