Growing your own

[lazybfarm]

I decided to put some seeds in my indoor enclosures to see if they would sprout. I had some , African grazer and Testudo mix, so I scattered some in. This is 2 days later.
There is an LED grow light in there , with the heat and humidity, it is growing nicely?

Nice. Let me know if they grow out.

They should grow. I grew from seeds in my leopards indoor enclosure in just coconut coir years ago.

It probably won't last long. You'll have to continuously sprinkle seeds each week to keep having sprouts. I tried all kinds of seed mixes in my closed chambers and they only grew for about a week and then they died.

Perhaps try this guy's solution. He uses clay pebbles and dirt on top then through a pre-installed pipe he waters the pebbles so the dirt is slowly getting humidity from the bottom watering the plants and giving the torts a chance to seek for humid microclimates right below the surface

The issue is the light height. Low is good for seeds but needs to be raised as the plant grows. Hence why they die in the enclosure. Best bet is to get a grow tent to start your tort and why they grow out of it use to grow plants correctly!

Substrate is coco coir on the bottom, then cypress mulch, then fir bark on top , 80 -90 degrees and 95% humidity, it is growing best under the t5 uvb light
