Succulent Seeds: Essential Planting Tips
-
Choose the Right Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix, ideally cactus or succulent mix.
-
Sow Seeds: Scatter seeds on the soil surface; do not bury them deeply as they need light to germinate.
-
Watering: Lightly mist the soil to moisten it without overwatering. Keep the soil slightly damp but not soggy.
-
Light: Place the tray in a bright location but avoid direct sunlight until seedlings emerge.
-
Temperature: Maintain a warm environment (70-80Â °F or 21-27Â °C) for optimal germination.
-
Germination Time: Expect germination in 2-3 weeks, depending on the succulent variety.
-
Transplanting: Once seedlings have a few sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots.

-
Annuals: Spring or summer
