If these are the first two leaves, the ones that "come out" of the seed and are called cotyledonary leaves, and are characterized by a different, simpler shape, then this is normal. Once their mission is accomplished (throwing the seedling so that it develops), they die and fall ...

Yes. Cotyledonary leaves ...

: Cheesy:

Let's say that they are not pierced, they are just bottles at the bottom of clay balls and potting soil above, risk of rotting?

Complicated to manage properly, rather.

It's so easy to have pierced containers. When it dries up on the surface, you soak for an hour (so you can be sure that all the "growing medium" is soaked; when you simply water, the water goes around).

With a closed container, there is a risk of water stagnation, except to manage "millimeter" - you do not pour enough, and it quickly dries; you pour in too much, and the excess does not drain. It's just a big deal.

That's just my opinion. I have never done. I pierced recycled containers when I used them (a pyrograver works well; otherwise, a vise grip that "holds" a nail that you heat on gas).

Thank you Didier, from now on I will pierce my bottles and I will do like you, there I used my egg cartons to germinate my beans and then I would put in bottles (suddenly pierced : Wink: ) on the other hand with this weather I hope that my potatoes will not rot in the hay :|

Here I also had a lot of water, since I put the first potatoes at the end of January, and the hay layer is good, well mineralizing, it's slushy. Today I harvested the very first early potatoes, no worries about rotting.
