Cactus 'Special Mix' - Seeds

Sow from mid winter to late summer in a free draining compost, just covering the seed with silver sand. Seal in a polythene bag or cover with glass until germination which can take from 2-12 weeks. As this is a mixture, different types will germinate at different times. They will all germinate at 21 -24C (70-75P) but for most rapid results we recommend gradually raising the temperature over a period of 2 weeks from 14C (57P) to 30C (86F), when the large green seed leaf has been observed.

Prick out into 6cm (2in) pots, then 8cm (3in) and 15cm (6in) pots as required, and water carefully until established.
