    • @Schlum
      @Schlum 7 років тому +3

      Hi Fher. Sometimes a month, sometimes 6 months. Depends on the size of the container that is used and how fast the seedlings grow (and if you have time to transplant them). If you keep them in the container for more than a month you may lift the lid of the container a little to give them some fresh air and spray them with water with a little bit of fertilizer

    Absolutely love your videos! I used to watch them many years ago and you still have some of the best videos. Anyway I'm trying to let go of having to keep my seedlings humid for a long time and am trying your method of transplanting them into open air earlier than I normally do. Really hoping I am able to keep them going - my substrate is a little different and I'm not too sure how often they will want water. I've had some success with cacti and succulents from seed but I want to confidently get pots of seedlings that look like yours every time! Also I've been using your Sclerocactus germination technique and been having some success (still kind of low germination %, but germination!) so thank you again! The local cactus society recommends starting them outside and using the freeze/thaw cycles to germinate them but it's not the right time of year and is tedious so I'm thankful for an alternate method. Good vibes from New Mexico

    • @Cactusinformation

      The boxes are closed. If you have clean seeds, just water and vermiculite and a clean box not much can happen. The seedlings will do fine.

    Why do we need the vermiculite step to germinate first and then transplant? Could we just use a mix of minerals and vermiculite and just let them grow without moving them for a year or when they're much bigger?

    • @Cactusinformation
      @Cactusinformation  3 роки тому

      Yes, you can do that but you would need bigger containers to give them more room. That will take space. Transplanting is not a big issue for the small seedlings.

      The vulcanic flour is nice, but it will also work without. There are many other ingredients you can use to put your succulebts in. What is available depends on where you live. Some people use seramis, pumice, zeolite sometimes mixed with other ingredients. The more 'difficult' species are in general grown more easy in a mineral substrate

    Hi, I read through all your answers to the previous questions and they have been helpful. I was wondering if you can answer one of mine. I have a batch of 2 month old (3-5 mm diameter) strombocactus disciformis just moved to the transplanted phase (i.e. the volcanic rock phase in your video). How should I monitor the moisture?

    • @Cactusinformation
      @Cactusinformation  7 років тому +1

      That is pretty large already. In general small seedlings should not dry out.The risk of getting to dry is bigger than the risk of being just wet. As long they are in the growing mood is would the soil not dry out completely. But it also depends on the other growing conditions like light, air, temperature, how fine or coarse the soil mixture is.

    • @jacklin7213

      Hi Karan. It is just for desinfection and I have used it only for very hard to grow species like Sclerocactus. Seedlings will grow in your normal cactus substrate

    So I see that your answering comments and I have one of my own I just got cactus seeds and I'm planning to start growing them during spring (of course becuase its winter and it's cold were I live) and im wonder how you know when do water a cati seedling or how often I water it as its growing ir just in the beginning

    • @Cactusinformation
      @Cactusinformation  5 років тому

      As long as they are small in the container you keep them moisture. Because the container is closed it will only need a small bit of spray now and then. Once they are in the open air it is better not to let the substrate get completely dry until they go into the winter and you can keep the temperature low. It is always a balance between how much moisture the seedling losses due to wind/temperature and how much to supply. If it is warm in winter (above 15 Celisus) i would still give them a bit of water so the substrate does not dry out completely

    Hi, good results obtained (especially freedom from algae) for mamillaria and astrophytum. I am attempting now to use the same method for ariocarpus trigonas seeds. Will the method be helpful with ariocarpus? Thanks in advance

      Hi, i do not know if Ecgeveria is self-pollinating. For most species two clones are needed for pollination to set seeds. But the method shown here will work once you have seeds

    Beautiful video sir. How long will it take for a gymnocalycium hybrid to germinate? It has been more than 3 weeks that none of them sprout but some among my echino grussoni sprouted within a week.

    • @Cactusinformation
      @Cactusinformation  3 роки тому +1

      Most seeds germinate within two weeks time. If the seeds were not matured enough it could take some longer.

      Several places, including our own. Depends on where you live. For the USA Mesagraden en Alplains are very good. For Europe Succseed or ADBLPS are good, but there are more: cactusinfo.nl/index.php/cactus-site/147-waar-kun-je-zaden-kopen

    About how long should you let the cactus grow before transplanting them to the volcanic sand? Also, while they are in the container do you ever open it to give them air or anything?

    • @Cactusinformation
      @Cactusinformation  5 років тому

      As soon as you can handle them you can tranplant. But as long as they are ok and growing you can keep them in the container. You can open de container if a fungus is seen or if you want to spray them with some water with nutrients to give them some food. Else you can keep the container closed so you will not loose water from the container

      Most seeds of cacti do well between 20-25 Celsius. Only a few species like to germinate above 30 Celsius
