Last year’s seedlings – part 2
Posted by Stuart under: Cacti .
2008 was the first growing year in which I tried to grow some of the other succulents from seed. I cast the net reasonably wide, and tried various mesembs, as well as some leafy things as well. The thing that surprised me most was how rapidly some of them sprout, like Euphorbia obesa, and how huge the newly-germinated seedlings are.
Left to right, top to bottom: Gasteria pulchra, Euphorbia obesa, Agave sp. (Arizona), Conophytum pellucidum, Titanopsis primosii, and Lithops julii ssp. fulleri.

Thanks Julie; I’m particularly pleased with the Gasteria pulchra seedlings. It’s only in the last couple of months that they’ve actually started to look like miniature adults.
