GREAT video. I like the idea of planting variegated plants into their own separate pot. I just planted my astrophytum seeds this afternoon. I can’t wait to watch them sprout! 🌱 😍
Nice to show all the stages of growth from seed. You have some nice Astro cacti. How long did it take to get to the 2cm size from the germinated seeds?
Astrophytum species have been sold in Australia for at least the last 15 years - I know this because I bought fresh seed from a cacti grower who had mature Astrophytum myriostigma in his collection
Great video👍 I just acquired some Astrophytum asterias seeds. Your video gives me confidence to do this. Very excited. I want to get good at this. One question, what do you recommend for soil, for starting the seeds? Thank you
Not the first mention was made of what age these seedlings were when the transplantations were made or the frequency of watering. I think THAT information would have been useful. Other than that, I appreciated the vid. Thanks. I assume (sigh) that the soil MUST be allowed to become dry between waterings ...
Let me share my experiences: In one technique, you put them in an airtight container with a certain amount of water, fungicide and put the seeds on top. They need light to germinate. The container stays closed for at least a year. Fungus gnats love fresh Astrophytum roots, if you leave them open. You don't need to make the first "when they develop the areola" transplant, as you won't sow 120 seeds in one mini pot as he does. Baby plants need constant humidity or moisture, if you want them to grow quickly. He is using Superphosphate as fertilizer. The charcoal that he uses prevents mold and bacteria growth, others use fungicide. Fresh seeds germinate in one day. In the first year many will die, in the second some more, then in third year some will die.
@@avalotikeshwara6136 thank you for your advice. My first seedlings have just germinated and I took them out of their protective bag. I shall place them back in for safety!
It's hard to open your site from webarchive. Can I post it here? Thanks a lot! For the cultivation of seedlings use a mixture of the following composition: leaf humus, sand and charcoal in the ratio 2: 1: 1. Charcoal is sieved through a sieve with a cell of 3mm. Sand can be replaced with vermiculite (2 mm). In the mix for germinating seeds usually do not make a large amount of nutrients. At the same time it is necessary to have enough phosphorous fertilizers. When preparing the mixture, the sand is pre-mixed with superphosphate, which is taken from the calculation of 5-6g (one teaspoon) per 10 liters of the mixture. If superphosphate is granulated, it must be crushed into a powder. The resulting mixture is sterilized. From: azfloraeng.com
Hey can you help me? Ive tried to grow my seeds using the cotton method and putting it in a just enough sunlight and humid place. And its been 6 days no sign of growth. I'm i doing it wrong?
По российским меркам - дико много воды, даже поливают сразу после пересадки. В наших условиях астрофитумы сгниют при таком уходе. Может в южной Европе так и можно, не знаю. А при правильном для наших широт уходе астрофитумы - не сложные кактусы, но увлажнения в прохладную пасмурную погоду не перенесут, особенно астериасы.

EVERYBODY'S taste in music is different. So I don't care what kind of music you play, you are GOING to severely irritate SOMEONE. Dispense with the music. It provides NO information at all! And I am SEVERELY disappointed that you make NO mention WHATSOEVER of how much time elapses between each segment ... between each step ... between each time you transplant them.
Perfect Video. The complete growing period is recorded. Thanks. Let's make our planet Greener!
Great to see someone growing in a media that’s not just a load of grit
GREAT video. I like the idea of planting variegated plants into their own separate pot. I just planted my astrophytum seeds this afternoon. I can’t wait to watch them sprout! 🌱 😍
Wow who knew cacti needed so much water, nice work handling the root system there also.
Bravo..
Nice to show all the stages of growth from seed. You have some nice Astro cacti. How long did it take to get to the 2cm size from the germinated seeds?
Amazing . Alots of water in growing period
Thanks for the video. We haven’t seen or heard of Astrophytum in Australia. I am now trying to grow 5 seeds that I bought on line. Wish me luck.
Thank You very much and good luck, Glenn!
Here I am two months later. Best of luck! Did you follow this guide? How's it going so far?
Glenn Forster even Bunnings sells Astrophytum. Common in Australia
Astrophytum species have been sold in Australia for at least the last 15 years - I know this because I bought fresh seed from a cacti grower who had mature Astrophytum myriostigma in his collection
How is it?
Good stuff man, keep these videos coming!
What's the compost mix you sow the seeds into and transplant when they have germinated?
do yu water the seedlings constantly? or once a week? or wait until they are completely dry? Thanks
Thank you! How long do they take to germinate?
What kind of soil do u use on planting those seeds? Is is it combined soil?
Great video👍

Thank you
Did yours grow? Its been 3 years

Se ve,q,lo,tiene bien dominado , con toda esa agua no,se,pudren?
Muy bonito video
Nice video. How long in baggie before taking out? Thanks.

Avalo Tikeshwara Extremely useful information! 💎 Thank you very much 🙏🏼🙏🏼
What fungicide would be good to use?
@@avalotikeshwara6136 thank you for your advice. My first seedlings have just germinated and I took them out of their protective bag. I shall place them back in for safety!
Patience is the key👍😁
U use , cocopeet, perlit , broken brik, and charcoal, very beautiful
Sir what is cocopeet, perlit, broken brik?
Way better music than 'Happy Birthday' 🙂
Thx. Don't need to soak the seeds first?
2 questions.
. Why the need to do that repotting when they are still very little?
- mines have red colour.. too much sun exposure?
Thanks!
Probably you got the variegated. Good for you.
I do repotting after 6 months or when the seedlings are too crowded in the pot 😁
how long they need to be in covers? how many weeks after germination ?
Cuántas semillas fueron aproximadamente las que echaste en la macetita
Excellent video Man
Thank You very much!
Do you keep them uncovered after the first repotting? Thank you
This video is my inspiration 🥰 love it so much
wahh masterkuh ada disini 🤩
Nice video.👍
Seedlings potting media???
wow' it successfully growth, thanks for sharing mah friend :)
São os mais lindos na minha opinião
grazie per questo belissimo video
That's awesome🙏
How much do you water the seeds after you put them in the plastic bag? Also, how long for them to become mini seedlings?
Wanna ask the reason of separating the seedlings with chimeric color on a separate pot?
They grow slower due to the lack of chlorophyll, also more likely to die from direct sunlight
Que tipo de sustrato utiliza?
nice video! can you tell. us what is your soil mix for the seeds and seedlings? 😇
Thank you very much! You can find a composition of soil mix here: azfloraeng.com/soil_for_seedlings.shtml

Hi What are the chances off sending me seeds to Cape Town, South Africa please? The same like you grew,
Hello! I’m wondering what your mix is
At this tiny size, if they show a reddish or brownish color, did they start to die?
Thank you very much !
What kind of fungicide?
do you sell these...how long before theyre full grown from seed to blooming size
Uh no mention of using fungicide before seeds are germinating ?
Great form Thailand !

Can astrophytum propagate from pups??

I thought you must not water a cactus if its newly potted.
want to have this kind of cactus but i cant afford it :(
Seed growing medium?
Temperature?
Light?
Porrus Soil (Mix of Perlite and soil with vermi compost)

@@deepworld7 thank you
Very interesting. Love, love love your video. But you must have spent long hours n time there
Astrophytom asteries seed buy online??
Why dont u tell how long the seeds will sprout ??
Fresh Astrophytum seeds sprout fast, if seeds are not fresh it might not germinate. I've had my seeds sprouting in 3 days only but they do grow slow.
