Yes that does help. Thank you Rashell. The seedlings have more than doubled in size now. They're getting pretty big. I'm about to post a blog to update everything, but those won't be in the pictures just yet.

Thank you Witt. I have had one of my Joshua Tree seedlings die for some unexpected reason, but the rest are thriving. I need to pot them into a larger pot sometime soon...

Ryan are you watering them too much? I think once the seedlings show you have to wait until the dirt is dry to water it again.

I am waiting until the soil dries. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong though. The very tips look like they are dying. Confusing.

Nah that site helped out a lot. I will just try not watering anymore and see what that does.

Hi Ryan, I have several joshua tree seedlings growing in a window that gets morning sun (I'm in the desert). They seem to be thriving if I only water them when they are very dry (almost neglected kind of dry!). Too much water sounds like your problem. Hope that helps.
