Seed Germination Guide:
Follow these steps for the best results:

  1. Soaking: Pre-soak seeds in warm water for 4-8 hours before planting to soften the seed coat .

  2. Sowing: Plant in a well-draining cactus/succulent mix. A gritty mix of perlite, pumice, and sand works best . Sow seeds just below the surface (2-3mm deep) .

  3. Temperature: Provide bottom heat. Ideal germination temperature is 25-30°C (77-86°F) . Warmth is essential.

  4. Moisture: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Cover with a humidity dome or plastic wrap to retain moisture until germination .

  5. Light: Place in bright, indirect light.

  6. Germination Time: Seeds typically germinate within 2 to 4 weeks, though they can sometimes take longer .
