Nice to see the update. Great job on getting those going

It’s amazing to see how fast they can grow in a month. You’re like a cactus shaman 🤩

Seedlings are looking good 👍

Love your channel bro I've stumbled back into cactus keeping too much fun and you make it cool! Cheers

Your seedlings are coming along nicely. Mine are much smaller in size at 1 month. Thanks for sharing.

Fabulous to see those agave utahensis seedlings😌🙏💖Your cacti seedlings are doing awesome! I have 2 year old ferocactus hamatacanthus seedlings I got off my old plant👌I enjoyed your update😌👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Have a great day!

Your seedlings are coming along very nicely 👍🏻 So rewarding growing these plants from seed, especially from your own plants. Love growing Astros from seed, especially asterias. They’re like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get lol. Cheers for sharing with us. Happy growing 🌵☀️🌼🏜

Wow they have a great size to be only one month age, probably the effect of the light I suppose. Great job Hunter!

I just got some Astrophytum asterias seeds from my plants and I’m going to try your method. Thanks man!

Good luck with it. Let me know if I can help at all. Thanks for being here!

You're awesome, I may attempt to try

I know this is an older video, but Wow, these seeds look great!!! I'm sure you know those Arios look pretty red. I'm getting ready to sow about 30 different cactus seeds so boning up on the sowing knowledge so thanks as always for your cool videos.

The seedlings look good! Growing from seed has been crazy rewarding. I do ferocactus, stenocereus, echinocereus, harrisia, peniocereus, astrophytum from seed but always expanding. Love your channel if you ever roll through phoenix hit me up my friend.

Great video bro!

Another great video! Love your cactus quest 🌵channel! I am having issues with my seeds not germinating and I got fungus on 2 of my 6 seed ziplocs bags sowed… 🥴😬🌵 I don’t have a heat mat or grow light though…

Hell yeah I have the same setup!

Great minds.

Hi Hunter, thanks for posting the video. If germinating in the Summer, do I need a heat mat? You're one of my favorite KZreadrs. Stay beautiful!

I havent had great success with growing from seed so i just grafted them. I cant even tell the difference between a grafted plant and non grafted. Even old degrafted lophs are almost indistinguishable to me even looking at roots (unless hard grown) lol

nice

Hi there! Nice video, lots of info. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Could you recommend a reputable seed seller? Thanks!

Interesting video and results. Thanks! One question regarding the coarse substrate: Aren't the seeds sliding from the surface of the substrate into the dark, lower layers and are then lost for germination? Or do you add fine substrate as well (but simply not visible)? Or does the moisture make the seeds stick to the stones/gravel?

Very Nice! Do you water with hydrogen peroxide or sterilized water? And do you have your heating mat sad a certain temperature? And I know you said you couldn’t remember where you got your Copiapoa Cinera seeds, but maybe you might remember where you got your albaspinas from? Thanks in advance! 😊

Please recommend the best place to get seed from. Thank you!!

could you make an update for us please ?

thanks for sharing your seed sowing process . I did everything like you and use same equipments . My astro seedlings are one month old and some of them starting have cracks , dents and collaps to one side . I dont know what is causing that . There is no fungus or alge problem because of use fungusit . Please help

Hunter, how do you know when or if you need to water the seedlings? What's your cue? Thanks

I have many many Hesperaloe seeds, they're easy to germinate and grow. I'd like to trade some for some other seeds.

How do you know when they are ready for dryer conditions? Mine are a yr old, and brown on and off so not sure why. They seems to brown in direct sunlight so have them on on a east facing window now with a dome over it.

How do you rewater? Do you re water using hydrogen peroxide or do you use straight up water? And if straight up water, do you ph it?

What temp do u set your heat mat too

How much time you keep them in a bag sir ,thank you.

Are you moving far? Funny, I go to the community garden almost every day and have never seen you. Just your stickers. 😉

Approximately how many seeds did you sow for each type of Turbinicarpus?

When do you suggest to transition the seedlings out of their humid environment? I have a some ariocarpus and astrophytum that are a few months old now and am nervous to begin the transition.

I have tried to keep them in there for the whole first year with varying degrees of success in some instances I have had to remove the seedlings as early as one month and some I have kept in as long as a year (with additional waterings, where I will open bag to water) transitioning the seedlings out of the super humid baggies must be done very slowly opening the bags a centimeter at a time over the course of two weeks or so. As to prevent them for getting shocked and drying to death.

I will definitely be keeping them in there for a lot longer before risking the transition. I’m new to this cacti obsession and you’re one of a few KZread channels I’ve found that posts regularly so thank you for quenching my interest and sharing your experiences!

What do you do when they all get big lol, that's a lot of them

Can you recommend a place to order seeds? Do you have any for sale?

How can I get some of those seeds? I got a cactus mix from a big box store and they all look way different

Hi what happens when my astrophytum seeds germinate and after 2 2ks just died

What fungicides do you use? First timer with Astrophytums and concerns. Had 2 months so far and losing some. Thanks

Wouldn't it make sense to have a longer dark period because of their cam metabolism?

I really couldn’t say. It’s just an experiment to see how they do. So far so good. But as they transition into the greenhouse they acclimate to a normal day/night schedule.

So I know that we never collect actual cacti from nature. But…is it ok to collect seeds from nature ???

Hi. How old they need to be before you transfer them to their pot?

I am about to break up the pots in the next week or so and I sowed them in august they have been out of humidity now for about a month or so.

How do they do it in nature then if they require so much humidity? Obviously in the desert they don't get near as much moisture.

Not too many of them make it. The few that do are generally found at the base of a rock or a tree/shrub where there’s shade and dew run-off can collect. Brief summer thundershowers can occur in areas where cactus grow, so in wetter years there will be more seedlings.
