I suppose I should have predicted this, but I've just been astonished by the size of some D. Capensis seedlings. I was expecting small seedlings, not plants the size of dust specks. I can't even photograph the darn things. Gonna try to dig out my dad's camera for a few shots. Or a microscope.

If the seedlings germinated recently, of course they are going to be tiny because their seeds are also incredibly small. But capensis seedlings can grow quite fast if fed and given favorable conditions.

Heres how my capensis seedlings look like, they've been growing for about 5+ months, they could have been bigger if i didn't plant all of the seeds in one pot
