Succulent seeds germination

Succulent seeds germination

Preparation:

1. Potting mix (detailed in the product listing information and on the seed package).Basically, any 'cactus mix' from nursery should fit well. To minimize possible molding problem, make sure the compost you bought is sterile (most commercial compost are). Preferably, buy a new pack instead of using an already opened one.

2. Seed Tray.

Steps:

1. Sow your seeds on to the top layers or on the surface of your growing medium in your pot or in seed trays. Cover the seeds with a very thin layer of soil - not more than 2mm.

2. Strong light can enhance germination. Try putting the seed tray or pot under full light as much as possible. Use artificial light to stimulate germination if necessary.

3. Maintain a low humidity for the germination by regular watering. Do not over water as this is a succulent species - they generally do not tolerate over watering.

4. Germination of this type of seed should naturally occur in 2-4 weeks.

Notes:

1. Do not bury the seed too deep as succulent cactus cannot germination in such condition.

2. Most succulent seeds has higher germination rate at 15-25 degree Celsius. Germination attempt made during high temperature season (32 degree or above) normally guarantee a poor result.
