Care

Before sowing, use a clean tray with a well-draining growing medium. Scatter the seeds over the surface and press them in gently without covering them completely with soil. Moisten the growing medium evenly and cover the container to maintain high humidity during germination.

Place the container in a warm, bright spot out of direct sunlight. Keep the growing medium slightly moist during the germination period, but avoid leaving it waterlogged for long periods. Once the seedlings have developed, you can gradually acclimatise them to lower humidity by increasing ventilation.

Allow the young cacti to gradually acclimatise to more light. As the plants grow larger and stronger, you can reduce the frequency of watering. Allow the growing medium to dry out more and more between waterings. Repot the young cacti when they are sufficiently developed and need more space.
