Growing Info

Scarification: None required, soaking the seed for 24h is optional.

Stratification: none required

Germination: Use a very well draining medium containing coarse sand, perlite, peat, coco fiber or a similar medium. Surface sow the seed and cover lightly with a thin layer (1-2mm or the thickness of the seed) of sand. Gently mist the medium to settle the seed without displacing them. Do not cover pots/sowing trays with plastic or glass. Ideal temps are 75-90F during the day and 60-70F during the night. Germination should take place within a couple of weeks.

Other: Once seedlings have a few true leaves and are large enough to handle (usually a few months in), pot them individually into small pots with a well-draining succulent mix. Keep in a bright light environment and once established in the new pots, they should be able to take full sun.
