Carnegiea GIGANTEA

Sowing and germination

Seed material is easiest to purchase in a store or collected from a succulent that is over 50 years old. After planting the seeds, seedlings hatch, which will eventually develop into seedlings: they are placed for several days in warm water, which is replaced after cooling, and then planted in a soil substrate consisting of peat and sand. The container is covered with polyethylene, the soil is regularly sprayed and ventilated. Cuttings are a faster way to grow a succulent, since its shoots are immediately planted in the ground. They are cut from the tops of the stems and dried in air for 2-3 hours before planting.
