Instructions:
Plant these seeds shallowly in a well draining planting medium like succulent/cactus mix, or peat mix with perlite and sand. 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.
