What does a fig seedling look like?

Post by Istari »

Just thought id ask the question. I've planted a few different kinds thus far little/no success (ive read the topic jamie got advise in just recently so I need to get some more seeds to try with) however the small batch I had going along in my little greenhouse might have posibably kicked off.

I cant get my camera to focus on them they are that small. I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of what I should be expecting so i can find out if ive had some success or if i could just be growing some weeds ;)

What im seeing is two tiny little green half circle leaves from the center of the pot (just where I planted them) which leeds me to ask the question what should I be expecting when they are that little?
