Growing instructions:

These seeds belong to the dark germinators, which is why they should be covered thinly (approx. 2-3cm deep) with growing medium (soil/cactus soil mixture) for germination. A previous soaking in water for 24-48 hours has proven to be beneficial. Alternatively you can also Gibberillic acid (GA3) use to reduce the germination or the germination rate.

During germination, make sure the soil is not too moist, as these seeds tend to mold if too moist.

Then fill the pots with a loose mixture of growing soil (cactus soil or growing soil with perlite, fine rock granules), spray with water, place the seeds on the soil and cover only thinly with substrate. It is best to cover the growing pots with plastic wrap and aerate daily or keep the soil moist. The pots can also be placed in suitable indoor greenhouses until the seeds have germinated and the seedlings are a few inches tall. It is important to ensure a supply of fresh air at least once a day to prevent and avoid mold.
The seeds need a lot of light and sufficient heat for germination, because they will not germinate

After germination of seeds seedlings can be very slowly accustomed to the drier indoor air or fresh air outdoors after a few weeks.

Requires outdoors a sunny location and a well water-draining substrate or soil in which it is planted. Young plants, if cultivated outdoors, should still be somewhat protected - especially from the wind. If necessary, growing in a greenhouse with sufficient sunlight is recommended.
