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.

Care and Maintenance

Light: Gradually introduce seedlings to brighter light, eventually providing full sun.

Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Feeding: Fertilize with a diluted cactus fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).

Pests: Monitor for pests such as spider mites and mealybugs, and treat accordingly.

Dormancy: Reduce watering in the winter to allow for a natural dormancy period.

By following these instructions, you can successfully grow a diverse mix of cacti from seeds, adding a unique and beautiful touch to your indoor or outdoor garden.
