Echinocereus POLYACANTHUS

Sowing and germination

Seeds are sown on the surface of a moistened mineral substrate with a pH of 6.0–6.5. The crops are covered with a lid or glass and ventilation is provided. Germination temperature is 24–28°C. Shoots appear in 7–15 days. Often, some seeds germinate quickly, while others take 4–12 weeks, and some “slow-witted” ones can take up to several months.
