Cactus from seed clarifications
    #22361595 - 10/11/15 01:54 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I have just received a selection of Lophophora and Trichocereus seeds. Having never grown cactus from seed I have decide to go with http://misplant.net/SeedGrow.html as it is step by step instruction.

A few questions:

Why use distilled water?

At what depth do I "toss the seeds in"?

Most cacti seeds germinate on top of the soil including trich and loph seeds.

The use of distilled water isn't necessary but I think the point is to be as close as possible to rain water.

Use distilled water or boiled tap water - to get rid of the chlorine - or even rain water !!
I just drop my seeds on top of the growing medium, then just lightly cover them with a thin layer of sand, sprinkled between thumb and finger.

Maybe some mod or whatever might think this has now been long enough.

Great, thanks for all the advice.

Just finished sowing half of all my seed. Kept a few back incase I am not successful at my first attempt.

Are you going to put your seed trays in plastic bags??

Yes I used plastic bags in the end, sitting on top of an old reptile warming mat I had in storage.

Ambient temperature has been around 93f though. The reptile mat has been off most of the time as it has a temperature sensor in it set at 86f.

Are bags good bad or ??

I sprinkled the seeds on the top , the pat down the whole top of the soil with a spoon (lightly)


Just make sure to keep em humid and warm .  Im pretty new to this hobby but im loving it.  Good luck dude
