My echeveria seedlings are 4 months old!

- It has been a while since I last uploaded an update on my seedlings so here we are!
After checking my notes, I found out that I sowed the first of the two batches on the 8th of October 2018. That means they're just under 4 months old now (116 days to be precise). The second batch was sowed about 6 weeks later which means that they are 2 and a half months old.
They have grown much denser since the last update, bigger too. But they still don't look a lot like their parents yet. I wonder how much longer before they start looking like actual echeveria?
Interestingly I am starting to see the leaf shapes differentiate. Some of them are acute, some are rounded. I remember sowing some agavoides hybrids which have acute leaves. I also had elegans hybrids, which should have rounded leaves. Also if you look at them up close, you can see that some of them are no longer simply just smooth leaves, they seem to have some sort of texture on them. I think we're starting to see their true leaves now!

Awesome music thanks to EpidemicSound
I tend to post a lot of non-video stuff on Facebook.
They are growing nicely! Look forward to seeing the colour eventually
Soon!
Great success! I got germination on a few seeds (much better than my last attempt) but quickly lost them due to the heat we've had, I sewed them a bit to late into the warm weather so this year, if I have pollinated flowers in September/October,I think I'll sew seeds then to give them a better chance when the heat comes around! Can't wait to follow your journey with these seedlings, I can't wait to see how they turn out!
im jealous! i want to try seeds myself. i have cacti sprouts but they about 7 months old and I haven’t really seen any progress since they were 3 months old
Yeah these things grow slow haha!
Update please 😄😄
Done! Check out this video:

Hurry up and wait. :-)
I will have to wait faster! 😂
Hello Chuck! Recently I also seedling some succulent . I confused if I plant too crowd or not . Because the seed are too small .
Yeah if you can space them apart that would be great. It is hard with echeveria because the seeds are so tiny and the germination rate can be low so I just dump lots and lots of seeds.
@@Cerriscapades got it!
Hi Chuck, I have a lot of seeds sent from unusual seeds. What is the best time of year to sow them it is 25deg here at the moment. They are echeveria cante, echeveria subalpina, echeveria gibbiflora, echeveria romeo. I dont want to waste them so i want to put them in at the right time of year, Best Regards Patricia
Hi Patricia. I just saw both of your comments here and on the other video about seeds. 25°C is a good range. It's a bit on the high side but it should still be comfortable.
It's not the temperature that I'm worried about the most though, it's the viability of the seeds. I have tried 3 different methods so far -
1. Harvesting the seeds then give them a month or two to stratify, just placing them in the cold, before I put them out and plant them.
2. Harvesting dry flowers, the ones that are a bit old. Under the assumption that they have already stratified. Then plant them right away.
3. Harvest the already pollinated flowers at various stages of ripeness, looking for the "just right" period. This is where the petals and sepals just turned crispy but are not yet fully dried out. The seeds are only slightly sticky.
Method 3 worked for me, that is, getting seeds at just the right age and planting them right away. I haven't had success with older seeds yet. I will probably try it again some time in the future because method 3 means that I can't try seeds bought elsewhere since they are no longer "fresh".
I know people have managed to germinate from seeds that were harvested months prior. It's just that the method that I got to work so far is the "fresh" method.
