Growing cactus from seed is not terribly difficult, although it does take purpose and patience. Propagation: Seeds are the only way of reproducing.If you would like to submit information to this page, please send an e-mail Cactus From Seed Plant in good conditions will start to bloom when reach the diameter of only 15-18 cm. This plants need a period of cool rest in winter to produce flowers abundantly.ĭiseases and pests: Watch for infestations of mealybug, scale insects and spider mite. It can tolerate moderate shade, and a plant that has been growing in shade should be slowly hardened off before placing it in full sun as the plant will be severely scorched if moved too suddenly from shade into sun.įrost Tolerance: Light frost protection required for safe cultivation, but can tolerate sporadic light frost. Feed with a high potassium fertilizer in summer.Įxposure: Outside they need a bright exposure, full sun or half shade in summer if the location is exceedingly hot or bright, inside needs bright light, and some direct sun. No water should ever be allowed to stand around the roots. A wet cactus in the sun light can cause sun burning which can lead to scars or even fungal infections and death, keep rather dry in winter. Water regularly during the aestival growth cycle (this plant need plenty of water, but do not overwater and let their soil dry out between waterings), and also needs to be avoided wetting the body of this plant while it is in sunlight.

It is suited for any rich, well drained soil such us clay, pumice, lava grit, and only a little peat or leaf-mould.
