How to Grow Cactus from Seed (A beginners guide) |

[@CactusCaffeine]

For those asking for online source of cactus seeds, I only know of 2 websites - cactusstore.com (I only tried them once) and starastrophytum.com (suggested by a friend, but I have not personally tried them yet). 😉 if you become a member of the Cactus and Succulent Society of America, you can get access to purchase seeds from their Seed Depot. Feel free to suggest websites that sell seeds which you have tried and had a good experience with. It will be useful information for everyone.

[@snoywntr2]

I ordered from unusualseeds.net. It takes a while I think they are in a European country. I’ve ordered from them in the past and had good germination success that’s where I got the seed for my desert roses which have done really well

Word of warning - Growing cacti from seed can become addicting! Especially once you start seeing good results and growth of spines 🌵

Hahaha. That is so true. 😄

Yup. I started with 4 Euphorbia obesa's. now i have 180. LOL.! I love to pollinate them since they are male & female plants and capture the seeds since they catapult through the air. Pure addition like Melkjor says! hehe.

I've seen a lot of 'how to grow cactus from seed'-videos, and they have always left me with a bunch of questions. You basically answered them all in this video. This was very thourough and informative; the best video on the topic so far. Well done! Thank you very much. Keep up the good work!

[@alexfischer7221]

The first cactus I’ve ever grown from seed actually came from one of my sister’s Starbucks dragonfruit drinks. The germination rate wasn’t great, but if you’re able to collect a bunch of them, it is possible (if you’re lucky) to get a dragonfruit plant to grow. It took about an entire month before it sprouted (probably because the dragonfruit for the drinks was originally freeze dried?) and only one seed out of ~30 actually emerged through the soil. But when it did sprout, I was very excited! Cacti and succulents in general are by far my favorite plants to grow 😊

[@alexfischer7221]

About a month since it first appeared through the soil, it is now about an inch tall with maybe 5-7 sets of tiny hair-like spines. It’s doing great, but will definitely be quite a while before I’m able to get any fruit from it. I’ve heard they take several years, 6-10 in some cases, to become mature enough to flower and fruit when grown from seed

[@CactusCaffeine]

I’ve never heard of anybody that has grown cactus from seeds gathered from a Starbucks drink! 🍹 That is fascinating. 😊

Hi, I hope you don't mind me saying that was one of the best videos I've seen about growing cactuses extremely extremely good and welldone for your editing and the way that you presented the information in a clear and concise way in a way that people could follow I've contacted the companies that provide seeds below. I hope they are able to ship to Bulgaria.

So nice of you to say that. Thank you! ☺️ I wish you many success in growing cactus from seeds. 🌵☕️

[@JamesEndo1]

I used your method to start Astrophytum asteria super kabuto seeds with great trepidation as it was my first time. Besides your techniques, I used a heat pad in the evenings. I probably should have started to sow with a small sample of these designer cactus seeds but went all in with my 70 seeds I recently purchased on Etsy. Well, I just saw that the seeds are starting to germinate after five days! So excited and thank you for the beginners guide! I looked at many YT videos and yours was simple, easy, and thorough in explaining the process for me in the states (CA). Yay! What a relief! On to the next steps. Thanks, and keep making your insightful videos!

Same thing happened to me . With Astrophytum they are great . Bought them at etsy . How much light did you give them ? Mine germinated just out of direct sunlight .

Just a tip for anyone trying to grow seeds. You can definitely pull them out of humidity whenever its required (fungus, rot, mass damping off). Common myth is that they need to adjust to low humidity. I pull mine out right after they germinate and i have over 95% survival rate.

This was informative and enjoyable. My favorite cactus are the edible ones. Currently living on the border of Texas, US and Coahuila, Mexico. On our small yard we have cactus that we call Nopal de Castilla (Prickly Pear Cactus). The variety that has super tiny, almost not visible spikes. We eat the pads when they are young and tender as well as the fruit, tuna as we call it. Another favorite is Pitahaya (Dragon Fruit) and hoping your method helps us in having our first Dragon Fruit cactus. Best Wishes!

[@mrminer071166]

It's hard to come to terms with the fact that cactus seedlings need to start under almost the same conditions as orchids seedings, but there it is. I guess what happens in nature is that when it rains in the desert, water and seeds get washed down into sandy pockets BETWEEN ROCKS which take four months to dry out. So for the first few months, the seedlings are in a really moist environment.

[@CactusCaffeine]

Good explanation! 😃👍🏼

[@ScaryFear]

Wonderful. I liked this a lot. This is basically what I do with my seedlings. You've raised some nice baby cactus.

Excellent and informative video. Thank you! I'm only trying to grow actual seedlings now. Perhaps I will try from seed next. According to your video, I think my seedlings (2yrs old slow growing Discocactus) will be better uncovered and in my windowsill over the summer. I have them in Akadama and it will help me know when to water next. Thanks again.

[@yaddahaysmarmalite4059]

I really appreciate the tips on dealing with the fungus gnats. I never thought to use crumbled up mosquito dunks. btw: mosquito dunks are rated organic. I've always dusted the top of my soil with diatomaceous earth. It creates a barrier that kills the gnats if they try to cross it. it then washes down into the soil and gets the larvae. Sprinkle some more on top.

Supreme suprise was that I had also got chipped plastic in one packet, not just a few, but the Whole lot!!

[@catherinedelarche4367]

I sowed a whole package of cacti seeds a few weeks (February 2024) ago and I have sprouts! I used little pots, thoroughly wet the growing medium (store purchased cactus soil) and put the pots in a clear covered container that previously contained pastries. I placed the container in my garden window that faces south. The window receives full and some filtered sun. I did not use a heat mat. I live in Chicago, IL so that gives you an idea of how cold it can be in February. The indoor house temp has been 67 degrees F. There has been a lot of moisture build-up in the clear container. Stupid me opened it today to take a peek. The soil is still very wet so hopefully I will see condensation form again on the inside. Anyway, I think the whole process of these seeds requiring lots of moisture and filtered sun is odd because that growing condition is completely opposite of the outside desert environment. Has anyone on this board tried sowing the seeds and mimicking the natural environment?

What a wonderful video - informative and so clearly explained. Thank you. Could I use a heat mat to speed up germination?

[@CactusCaffeine]

Yes, absolutely! Heat mat helps especially during winter months

So after I watched this, I purchased some astrophytum seeds. Totally inspiring! Question about soil, though, would you recommend buying those pre-mixed cactus soil or do you typically add more perlite to those?

[@CactusCaffeine]

Are you going to use the soil to germinate the seeds? If yes, I would not recommend a pre-mixed cactus soil as they are too gritty for seedlings. If you still want to use it, you would have to sift the soil to remove rocks or big barks.

[@eclairesdesertjungle]

@@CactusCaffeine Ah ok. Yes, I was gonna use the soil to germinate. I'll have to sift it as you suggested. Thank you!
