The growing speed of asterias seedlings is not fast but it is an acceptable speed.

Hi fanecchissimo, THANKS for your appreciation. I started on the new ones about 2 years ago. I grow all my plants from seeds.
The Saltillo one, seeds were given to me by the GREAT Dr. Alfred B. Lau himself when we brought him to Malta - Europe to show us some of his great discoveries that he found. Remember in the habitat you will be surprised what you can find.
