: Hi Tom,
: I have one micro seedling from last

: well developed radicle, but no
: initial leaf. Others from this same

: third leaves. But I am worried
: about the last one that hasn't
: leafed yet. It seems likely it has
: run out of enough energy to push a
: leaf, and will therefore die. Is
: there anything you can recommend to
: aid this plant to push a leaf?

Sometimes that happens, but I'd just give it a light fertilizer and see if the root can suck up enough energy and try and get a leaf out. The stem can pick up a little sun and turn green, which helps a small amount. Other than that, its just a waiting game.
