The soil should be lightly moist, but not wet. Fill each pot to the top with your moist cactus mix. Sprinkle 1 to 3 seeds in the middle of the cups. Do not cover it with dirt. Instead, cover it very lightly with a thin coating of the coarse sand. \u003cbr\u003ePlace each cup in the watering tray, and pour about 1-inch of water into the tray. It is best to bottom water the seedlings, as top watering can displace the seeds. When the cups appear moist on top, but not soaking wet, move them from the tray to a mini greenhouse.\u003cbr\u003eYou can make a mini greenhouse out of a clean plastic food container with a lid, or you can buy a mini greenhouse from a garden supply store.\u003cbr\u003ePlace the greenhouse in a warm place, out of direct sunlight. Cacti need more moisture and humidity that you would expect in order to germinate. If you see too much condensation on the lid of your greenhouse, you need more air flow. Prop the lid open a little. This will prevent mold and help your fragile seedling.\u003cbr\u003eBe patient! Some seeds can take 6 months to a year to germinate! Just keep the soil evenly moist, watering whenever the top of the soil dries. This is about weekly\u003cbr\u003ehere. Eventually, you will see a tiny little cacti pop out of the soil. Keep this out of direct sunlight, as it can cause the cactus to burn. Mature cacti can tolerate direct sunlight, but the babies cannot.\u003cbr\u003eKeep in mind that cacti are very slow growing plants. The small cacti you buy in the stores are usually about 5 years old!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bonsai Growing Kits","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46387360366848,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3173\/2992\/files\/cacti_n.jpg?v=1740135700","url":"https:\/\/www.bonsaigrowingkits.co.za\/products\/lithops-mix-seeds-copy","provider":"Bonsai Growing Kits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
