Hey everyone,It's been around 6month's since I bought/plant my first cacti seeds(san pedro),they grow fine for a month or two but then they stoped growing and they are still about an inch long as they wore before...is this normal?
Other info:
-Room temp.(23-28*C)
-watering almost every 3days or when nessesary.
-I've been keeping them under natural light(sunlight),in direct sunlight every cuple of days for about 15-20min.
help please!

Please post pictures of the seedlings and your set up. If they're truly the same size that they were a few months ago without any additional areoles then you're doing something wrong. Hard to make a diagnosis with only the information you provided.

You said you keep them in natural light - does that mean a window sill? They look pretty skinny and I wonder if they get enough light. It's also possible that at some point they'd stalled out because of lack of water or being forced to acclimate suddenly.

My bet is on insufficient light and yes it looks like windowsill light maybe even intermittent windowsill light by the sounds of the first post. They should be much fatter at that age/height; it looks like they are etiolating.
Increase light gradually and start fertilizing with a fairly dilute solution every other watering and they should start to take off.

They can take full sun anywhere as long as they are acclimatized. Putting seedlings like that into full sun right now would kill them in as little as a few hours.
I've used pieces of old white cloth to cover tips of newly rooted clones or pots of seedlings when putting them outside. After a week or two I remove the first layer and after another week or two I remove the second layer. It works pretty well. I don't think I've had anything burn with that method.

i believe you just need sunlight
and as said above be sure to acclimate to full sun to prevent killing it, like a vampire stepping out into daylight

Not true. Some of my cactus are 10 years old and can take full Las Vegas summer sun, but only for a few hours or they will sunburn badly.

Many growers seem unaware that native species grow on hillsides and ravines and not flat desert, so they are in shade much of the day.
