Can't wait to start my cacti, just recently picked up seeds of T. pachanois as well as some L. williamsii  :peyotespectrum:  :sanpedro:

Are these peyote buttons grafted onto a san pedro? I'm not really acquainted with the term pups

Feroxx, nice seedlings :thumbup:

How big do you let the seedlings on sand get before you transplant them into other soil & pots?
I have tried germinating seeds on moist sand in some plastic petri-dish and i like it.
One really see the small seedlings develop very well on the sand.
But i don´t know when to transplant for best results.
How long can one wait before they need new good soil?

it isnt sand, it is a cut of rock wool over peat, have never thought about transplanting, but i can just easily pick them by pulling them very slowly, from the cup on the first pic, i lost one from rot months ago, recently i had one rotting but i saved the top half

The few Aztekium ritteri that germed and survived, sprouted sometime this past November. 

Its the first time ive ever gotten Aztekium to germinate, and ive read how slow goin these plants, so im really hesitant to do anything at all.  Dont even wanna take a chance at grafting any of em. 

Water pretty irregularly and for the most part they spend all their time in a ziplock bag still. 

Anything i should be doin for em rather than ignore??

@ stagger: I have not tried my hand at Aztekium yet, but maybe you could consider getting some "practice cactus seeds" to germinate and graft, if its really for the practice, then after 2-4 weeks or whatever if you have a decent idea of how well it has taken, you could just cut off a small bit of the peres and do another round of practice grafts.

I know various cacti can be slow but the absolute slowest might be torture to just grow all the way without grafting, idk.

And I think grafting is a useful skill and satisfying to learn, but you don't wanna learn to do it with seedlings you can't spare.

Actually I'm interested to see if you can get peres roots out of an absolutely minimal piece of stem as stock. Trying that now with an Astrophytum.

Very young seedlings want to be in a moist soil for quite some time and can handle the humidity - I would never make it overly wet though, just moist. Wet is excess liquid.

Is that peat moss in there? Whatever it is, aside from the photography just making it look shiny, it looks kind of boggy and potentially encouraging to be a bit too wet. Should be okay for now but as they grow older they will likely stop being so tolerant for that.
It can also in general become a breeding ground for disease so keep the soil life stable and balanced or treat it if you think you have to.

I think you do not want any materials in the soil mix which are particularly retentive, but instead use components which improve drainage - so yes the perlite is a good move. Just a little bit of sand in it (not too much at all!) mixed well, can loosen up soil and promote drainage (have holes in the bottom of course). It should help condition the soil better and have any bit of water that is too much more likely to drain than get bogged up.

Hi Solipsis, beautiful plants ya got there. 

The mix for them Aztekiums is mostly coir and perlite and they rarely ever get watered.  I had taken em outa their ziplock that day to give em a nice heavy misting and took the oppurtunity to get a couple clear photos. 

Its been a while since ive dug into reading any other tips on them, but i remember seeing some growers keeping them in that environment for about 2 years before exposing to drier air. 

Most the practice i get is with trichocereus, but these guys are considerably tinier.  For now though, theyve kept that healthy looking reddish color so ive just kept their conditions the same. 

Outa curiosity, how minimal a piece of stock are we talkin?

I figure the good thing about the coir is its resistant to mold, but it retains so much water - at some stage i wouldnt think thats not okay anymore but i didnt know you could stretch it for 2 years...
For most cacti you wouldn't want to use coir because that period is not so long, or you would have to transplant after a couple months which doesn't seem great to me.

I guess when i will start on germinating my Strombocactus it will be a similar story as yours and indeed if they are just too tiny it will be very hard to graft for the first while.
But i want to germinate them on agar so thats another story anyway.

I was thinking less than 2 inches for a mini rootstock, but maybe even less - not sure if peres can just root basically out of any part of the stem / node / internode.

Thank you moonFarmer

@Solipsis, its painfully slow, but have had a bit of success cutting above and below each node and rooting those little pieces, so long as the leaf is still attached i think.....

but < 2in should be no problem....those smaller cuts do much better without me naggin on em, so they just go under the shade of some other plants and seem to do better
