So, I'm a newb and I was super successful in getting these wee babs to sprout. I moved most of them outside so they could get some sunshine - my bedroom is northish facing, but stays predominantly in the shade because of the awkward shape of our house. So it's pretty dang dark.
Now for the problem. I think there's a fungus amongus. The soil isn't too wet - I'm an idiot and trying to bonsai in the desert - but it isn't too dry. I check moisture in the morning by sticking a finger into the dirt, and wind up watering the sprouties maybe once every 2 or 3 days depending on the wind. It is kinda dry up top so I should probably consider topsoil, but their roots are a bit deeper than I test with my finger. The red trunks drove me to check their roots - all nice and white.
I do have one poor lad who seemed to have a pinched base - so I started panicking that I was going to lose my babies to damping, but... it's been a week and everybody still looks pretty healthy other than looking like a lobster. I supported the floppy boi by mounding some of the soil a little further up and he seems to be perking up a lot.
Nevada is pretty damn sunny and we've had a lot of wind. I think the floppy boi might have just gotten pinched trying to fight off the wind storm? Do they have sunburns?
Do you guys know what might be going on?
