I really dont see how this happens... Talkin about cacti seeds.
"This seed pack will give you the potential for about 50 of these beauties!
(10 seeds) TPC-CS | Your Cost: $4.99 "
On Iamshaman.. 10 seeds yields about 50 cacti.. now how in the hell. Do they mean seedpod?
Also straight from germination could cacti tolerate full sun from florida? I hear they like shade... but in the desert I dont really see how they get alot of shade

They have the "potential" for 1000s of plants, given enough time.
No straight sun will kill seedlings, even fluros can burn seedlings so they won't stand much of a chance in full sun. In the wild only seeds that fall down cracks, under rocks and somewhere protected like under a bush survive to adulthood, somewhere that retains some moisture and protects them from the harsh conditions long enough for them to get a foothold.

yep one seed could turn in to as many as you want but it could take a long time, 10 seeds = 50 cacti sounds like a load of crap but 10 seeds pods depending on what the cactus is can be 50-200 seeds if not more depending on if they were helped during the pollinating process.
also as stated above straight sun will kill/burn seedling for sure, i use a small fluro for my cactus seedlings

The way Iamshaman says it makes it sound like after germination youl have like 5 cacti growin in a cluster (similar to a shroom cluster). Or atleast thats how i interpret it. I mean damn, wouldnt it take like a year before youl even start getting pups....

San Pedro info This plant grows VERY fast, it's super-hardy, and it's often a favorite of growers because it produces 12 inches -18 inches of new growth per year. This seed pack will give you the potential for about 50 of these beauties! 10 seeds per pack
See the way they word it.. thats almost like giving misinformation.. its like saying one 6 inch salvia cutting will give you 10 cuttings. Which it could but youd have to grow for it first. I dont see how they can say something like that... Because you wont get 50 cacti from the seeds your gonna get it from the cacti itself...

i hate misleading packaging... of course, a single seed has the potential to produce many cacti, given time... but still that is a very crappy description.

lol, not in the first season for sure... probably not the second season either... and only has that sort of potential in perfect growing conditions...

the price sucks too... u should find someone to trade seeds with instead or a better vendor...

i would not listen to most of the vendors descriptions like that....as far as i am concerned i read the Latin name and how many per pack, that is about all i want form most nursery/vendor type places.....some even get that wrong.
