Cacti from seed
    #114285 - 08/25/08 04:40 PM (16 years, 5 months ago)

I just started my first cacti from seed, several different species.  I made my own cactus mix, around 1/3 MG potting mix, 1/3 sand, and 1/3 perlite.  I also threw in a little fish tank gravel.  The soil has a thin layer of sand on top to allow excess moisture to drain away from the cactus flesh and prevent rot.  So far so good, I have had germination for 6/7 species within a week.

I will get pics up of all of them soon, but here are some Astrophytum asteria



and five days later:

thanks for the tip!  i removed all the seed coats that had popped off after taking these next pics.  Most of these I got from winning uarewotueat's contest, a couple i got from trades, and i have some more on the way, including some lophs :awesome:

Astrophytum asterias



LC001 (T. peruvianus x T .bridgesii?  could be the other way around)



LC002 (opposite of LC001, T .bridgesii x T. peruvianus)



Lithops meyeri



a lone T. huasca, same as grandifloras?  trying to figure this out...



and a couple T. peruvianus



i also have some T. camarguensis that haven't showed signs of popping yet,  fingers are crossed.

probably, for fun.  i have some pereskiopsis that is finally starting to grow after i received it in the mail.

the LC001 started to put out some spines yesterday





and i think the first of my lophs popped today.

what should i do in terms of watering/feeding these seedlings?  i assume i should keep the sand somewhat moist at all times?  i'm just wondering because the A. asterias seems to have stopped growing and i'm clueless from here on out

    #118852 - 09/05/08 04:57 PM (16 years, 5 months ago)

lophs popped up next to some lithops



a couple Icaro's peruvianus



a couple bridgesii x pachanoi



some T. bridgesii



and the whole show




all of the stuff that popped earlier on has not really grown much in the last week.  should i be worried that i'm keeping them too wet or something?  or do they just grow really slow from here on out?

i'll try to update this soon.  i realized the original soil mix i had them in contained too much sand, i transplanted them all into a much better mix, and growth has really taken off.

here's a little sneak peak for the update
