My statice seedlings (about 3 wks along) are starting to turn brown. Could the problem be too much water? I water with an eye dropper once a day, about 2 full eye droppers full per plant. They seem to be getting adequate light. Should I water once every two days?
Your seedlings have probably been over-watered. You should allow the soil to dry out slightly before watering - you can touch the soil to determine this.

I found this information.
At the base of each sepal is a seed imbedded in a membrane. You can simply remove the flowers and by brushing them with your hand on mature flower stock and they will fall into your hand.
The seeds are very tiny!
Can I dig up some adult plants of statice to re-plant in my yard? Also, what is the best in-ground soil type for statice? Thanks.
Yes, you may dig these up for transplant. Just make sure to dig about 2 feet out to make sure you get most of the root mass, so that it can better handle transplant. I would advise mixing in a good organic potting soil to the new area before planting. This will help the plant to survive in its new location.
