Hi Charnwood! If some are germinating, then you are doing fine! I'd start watering them from the bottom to avoid them getting dried out after germination. Once they are germinated, they will need a bit more than a spray, and you want the water to be at the roots, rather than on the foliage. :)

Are you covering them with a transparent lid or anything? That'll help maintain steady moisture levels. Little sprouts will die really quickly if they do dry out.

Thanks I'll do as advised, am due for a hip op on Wednesday so can only hope the oh will do his best to care for them 🙄

Get them to put an extra spring in your hip! That way you'll be able to give OH more hoof if he fails☺
