Quick Facts

Seasonality: Usually year round.

Seed Germination: Keep above 20C and moist at all times. Sow in a cactus starting medium top dressed with rinsed sand. Medium light (such as fluorescent or partially, 50-70%, shaded sun). Germination takes 1-8 weeks. Also see our Cactus seed sowing guide.

Acclimating plants from the mail: Plants are shipped bare root and when received should be placed in the open to allow further drying for 1-2 days before potting. Do not place in cold areas or areas that receive direct sun. After 2 days pot into an appropriate well drained soil that dries out fast. Do not water for at least 1-2 weeks. In the case of cuttings, do not water until roots form. Also see our Acclimating Cacti from the mail.
