Help needed - growing San Pedro from seeds with grow kit
    #14488565 - 05/21/11 06:52 AM (12 years, 8 months ago)

Hi! A couple of months ago, I started growing San Pedro cacti with growing kit I purchased online. The seeds germinated fine (thought not many) and after 2-3 weeks i had a couple cacti showing, about 6-8 mm in height. The problem is, now it's been about 2 months, and nothing has changed. Seems, like they stopped growing. Any ideas what the problem is? I keep soil moist, covered with lid, which i open daily, temperature is about 25C and I keep them in indirect sunlight.

They look like they could do with more light. They look elongated and a bit pale.

Cheers

^^^^^what he said for sure, stretching for light, get them on a brighter windowsill (not direct sunlight yet) or even get better a flourescent tube light (like the type for a kitchen worktop)and get it fixed about 15cm above your babies and keep them under it for the next 4 months or so.

How old are they since germination in the pictures?

They need better light and they will fatten up and then produce tiny spines, are you providing any nutrient? If you are not, you should start, if you have cacti food make a 10% adult strength solution and mist them with it every 4th time you mist (other 3 times just water)

Thanks for help! Gonna try to give them more light now. Also, growing guide didn't mention any nutrients until they are at least 1 year old... but I'm gonna go buy some.

No prob, just gotta make sure you use it at a heavily diluted strength and not on every misting
