Shelf Life: Best planted within 1 year for maximum germination
Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Stratification: Some cactus seeds benefit from stratification. Place seeds in a moist paper towel inside a sealed plastic bag and refrigerate for 2-4 weeks.
Soaking: Soak seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours before sowing to soften the seed coat.
Sowing:
Soil Mix: Use a well-draining cactus soil mix or a combination of sand, perlite, and peat.
Containers: Use shallow trays or pots with drainage holes.
Planting Depth: Sprinkle the seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly cover them with a thin layer of sand or soil.
Watering: Moisten the soil with a spray bottle to avoid displacing the seeds.
Germination:
Humidity: Cover the containers with plastic wrap or a clear lid to maintain humidity.
Temperature: Keep the soil temperature between 70-90°F (21-32°C).
Light: Provide bright, indirect light or use a grow light.
Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. Mist the soil surface as needed.
Transplanting:
Timing: Transplant seedlings when they are large enough to handle, typically when they have developed several small spines.
Containers: Move seedlings to individual pots or larger trays with well-draining soil.
Depth: Plant seedlings at the same depth they were growing in the seedling tray.
