Echeveria, Mixed Species

Germination

This packet contains tiny seeds, please handle with care. Sow indoors at any time. Surface sow onto moist well-drained light seed compost with added sharp sand. Just cover seed with vermiculite. Place in a propagator. Ideal temp. 20-22°C. Germination can be slow and erratic, taking from 1-6 months. Ensure compost is moist at all times. Transplant seedlings when large enough to handle to 8cm pots and grow on in the green house with protection from direct sun.

Growing

Grow under glass in a cactus compost. Prefers bright, filtered light. Lightly water during the growing season but keep dry when dormant. In warmer climates may be grown outside in full sun and brought inside as the weather cools. Will appreciate a nitrogen fertilizer every 2 weeks in spring and summer.

Cultivation

Propagate via offsets in spring.
