Instructions:

These seeds grow slowly, so we recommend using the following to sow the seeds: 

Mammillaria seeds are small and need to be planted at the surface of the soil, and can use a very light later of soil over the seeds. Plant these seeds in well draining succulent or cactus planting medium. Place them in a bright and warm spot(at least 70F). Placing a plastic covering over the seeds until they sprout helps maintain a good humidity and warmth level- it can be removed once the sprouts start to show up.

Most seeds will germinate within a month, but wait some time for all the seeds to germinate- there may be some stragglers! Make sure the sprouts don’t receive much direct sunlight for the first couple of months, after which they can be exposed gradually to more light.

(Find more info on germinating seeds by going to our seed guide)

These seeds are for the 2025 growing season.

how do I grow houseplant seeds?

All of our orders come with a basic starter guide for you to follow, but our seed guide here goes in much more detail and also offers alternative seed starter methods.
