It’s easy to grow a cactus, and this fun mix means that you never know quite what you are going to grow! These low maintenance plants are the perfect way to start a new collection that will produce a fascinating display which will last for many years. With maturity, many Cacti will produce bright, showy flowers. Height and spread: 15cm (6″).
Sowing
Sow cactus seed from January to April. Sow cacti on the surface of a free draining, gritty compost and cover with a very fine sprinkling of silver sand. Place in a propagator or seal the seed tray inside a polythene bag, maintaining a temperature of 20-25C (68-77F) until after germination, which can be erratic and usually takes between 1 – 3 months. Do not exclude light when growing cacti as this helps germination.

Keep the surface of the compost moist but not waterlogged. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into trays or 5cm (2”) pots of gritty potting mix and continue to grow in warm conditions. Once they are well grown, pot cactus plants on into 7.5cm (3″) pots, and water carefully until established.
