What you need to know to Plant & Grow Cactus
Growing cacti from seed is an enjoyable process that requires a few specific steps for success.
- Sowing: Sow seeds onto a barely moistened peat-based medium or a sand/vermiculite combination. The medium should be pre-moistened by lightly misting with a spray bottle. Sow seeds on the surface so they are exposed to light.
- Watering: Do not water immediately after sowing. Instead, wait two weeks, then use a mister to apply water until the medium is damp.
- Germination: Provide bottom heat at 23-25°C or keep the container in a warm place. Germination can be erratic, taking 15-30 days.
- Upkeep: To enhance the establishment of seedlings, provide long days (13-16 hours), which may require the use of artificial light to supplement sunlight.
