Instructions:

These seeds grow slowly, so we recommend using the following to sow the seeds: 

• 12 Cavity Greenhouse
• Soil Pellets
• Liquid Fertilizer 

Opun tia seeds have a tough outer coating that require stratification, you can use sandpaper to cut the outer coating, and then pre-soak the seeds in warm water for 12-24 hours. Plant these seeds in well draining succulent or cactus planting medium. Place them in a bright and warm spot(at least 70F). Placing a plastic covering over the seeds until they sprout helps maintain a good humidity and warmth level- it can be removed once the sprouts start to show up.

Most seeds will germinate within a month, but wait some time for all the seeds to germinate- there may be some stragglers! Make sure the sprouts don’t receive much direct sunlight for the first couple of months, after which they can be exposed gradually to more light.
