You can throw a bunch of seedlings in one place and then transfer them or graft them when they pop up from what I understand. I just got my first Bridgesii seedlings a couple days ago.

doesn't make much of a difference. except the peruvian torch are supposed to be a bit higher in alkaloids

Aw Lucky You.I love San Pedro. Id plant like 3 in each Pot about 1/4 inch deep. water the soil to make It moist but not soaked, then cover With syran wrap and sit under a Light. The high Humidity really Helps bring the Pups Up.
Best of Luck. Post Pictures!!!

i dis agree 3 seeds in each pot is a very small amount , you can plant hundreds in a very small area and it will still be a long time before you will need to transplant, also it is proven here by many our our members that no matter what medium you use you will have better luck of you don't cover the seedlings with soil but to gently press them in to the surface of the soil.
i use a pie tin with one of those clear plastic lids (for humidity )
there is much info on the subject here and on the web
good luck

1/4 inch deep is way too deep. The seeds should be not covered at all or covered with a fine layer of sand.
You can plant all the seeds in one pot and it'll be a while before they crowd each other.

I would take a couple 2 inch pots, and spread the seeds all across the top. All of them. Mist with water then place in a plastic bag.
I personally prefer to crowd the seedlings until they are a couple inches tall. The seedlings support each other and it takes up way less space.
You don't need space for them when they are young. It's easier to keep moist in a small pot.

I agree with Royer. I like to let mine grow packed together until they get bigger. I have some growing tight together like blades of grass and they seem perfectly happy. Better off utilizing the space efficiently.
