Planting Guide

1. Soil Preparation: Use well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix for best results.

2. Sowing Seeds: Lightly press seeds into the surface of the soil, covering them with a thin layer (no more than 1/4 inch deep).

3. Watering: Keep soil moist but not waterlogged until germination. Once seedlings appear, water only when the soil is dry to the touch.

4. Sunlight: Place your seeds or seedlings in a sunny location with ample indirect sunlight.

5. Transplanting: Once seedlings are large enough, transplant them to individual pots or a sunny garden spot.

6. Care: After the plant has established roots, reduce watering and ensure excellent drainage to prevent rot.
