The first experience of cactus seeding

My family's cactus Venus survived the blizzard in early 2018, and she was safe and green in the spring. I was impressed by her. In addition to buying some finished products, I always thought that this kind of plant was propagated separately by peeling small side balls, but I did not expect that it could be sown. I immediately contacted this fellow flower friend in the same city. I excitedly described to her the true deeds of my golden planet, and she couldn't help saying, "not all cacti can be left outside. Many balls still need to be taken care of."

The three-high sowing method refers to "potassium permanganate with high temperature and humidity".

The weather is getting hot, I saw many kinds of cactus seeds on the Internet, and I was moved again. I saw a store with a sowing kit, in which the soil was sterilized. The shopkeeper confirmed that "just add tap water". There is no potassium permanganate in the suit (it needs to be used for soaking seeds), or online shopping has solved the problem.

First dissolve potassium permanganate. I took half of it and threw it into a water bowl, almost until it was pink and purple. I soaked the seeds in the solvent for about 30 minutes. This time I bought a kind of seed called "Star Genus mixed representative Xingdou Fengyu". Compared with other cactus seeds, it is relatively large. Look, it is the part circled by the white line on the picture. This potassium permanganate did not know why a lot of impurities came out, which worried me for a while, but fortunately it did not affect the emergence of seeds.

According to the shopkeeper's method, the suit was directly mixed with tap water. Just pour out the excess water. Then you use a toothpick as a tool to take out the seeds soaked in the solvent. In order to prevent the color of potassium permanganate solvent from getting dirty around and my hands, I wore gloves and an apron. Does it look professional. Put the seeds carefully on the surface of the soaked soil, and remember not to cover the soil, just let the small seeds be exposed on the surface of the soil. Sowing seeds here is basically done. The next step is to close the lid and snuff it up. Let the inside of the sowing box have a moist sterile space, high temperature and humidity potassium permanganate, all OK, the next thing is to wait patiently and so on.

A few days later, all the seeds were sent out. The emergence rate of 100% surprised me as a novice and greatly increased my confidence. Look, the baby Miao is full moon, the green beads are so cute!

Last time, the remaining seeds and the seeds I bought online were waiting for me. I must sow all of you. Finally, all the items used in this paper are summarized as shown in the figure. Interested friends can also try, I wish you success!
