| Ditto - Baggie.
With a mix of heat water humidity (don't worry we will have fun in spring talking about germinating when qld is getting too muggy to germinate - Calycium sighes with jealousy... 4 months before he can sow cacti seed) | |

HEAT MAT!!! then you have 3/4 additional months to get your seedlings up and established before spring. and when spring comes you may not need the heat mat and your seedlings will continue to thrive. Its always summer in my propagator. | |

Ahhh good. I just bought some interesting seeds of Copiopoa spp. and was wondering the same as hornet was wondering. I have never germinated them, but they are certainly a beautiful genus of cacti. Thanks for that. | |
