Product Information

Ripe" pods with mature seeds should come off with a slight twist of the hand, leaving the interior fiber/cotton on the cactus. Winter-flowering cacti, such as the Christmas cactus ( Schlumbergera), need warmth and regular watering in winter, with a rest period in summer. Our grow your own flowering cactus kits can be planted at any time of year and if looked after correctly, will bring you joy for years to come. If you've been looking for a new desk pal whether in your office or working from home, this kit is for you! In the winter, the plant prefers a cool-down period, with temperatures hovering near 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN A SIMPLE STARTER SET: The Grow kit guides you from Cacti seeds to germination. Cacti generally require less fertilizer than other plants — try using a diluted solution of liquid fertilizer once a month.These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. This is easily solved by adding a little more material to open out and improve the drainage, such as coarse sand, grit, or perlite.

Sunlight should not be intense and constant, but should be strong for at least a few hours each day. For instance, if the top of the cactus and the side facing the sun bear this weathered appearance but the base of the cactus does not, this can be a sign that the cactus is receiving too much sun, rather than the result of natural corking.Inside, you'll discover a bag of assorted seeds, 5 starter pots crafted from coconut husk, 5 coconut husk compost discs, 5 wooden plant markers, and an easy-to-follow instructional booklet that makes growing a breeze.

Cactus potting soil is specially formulated to have an open, free-draining texture, with a low proportion of organic matter, to keep fertility low.The use of non-organic fertilizer can also damage your cactus because most chemical fertilizers contain heavy metals that eventually poison the plant. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. Cacti require well-draining soil, especially desert varieties that are vulnerable to diseases from standing water.

Whether you bought seeds or harvested them from an existent cactus, you'll want to plant them in clean, shallow containers filled with suitable soil. Debra LaGattuta is a Master Gardener with 30+ years of experience in perennial and flowering plants, container gardening, and raised bed vegetable gardening. Try to do so cautiously — don't let the soil dry out completely, but don't ever leave standing water in the container from over-watering. Most cacti will germinate in about three weeks, and then you can remove the plastic covering during the day.With dimensions of approximately 17 cm x 12 cm x 10 cm, this kit makes a delightful gift choice for anyone with a green thumb. Place the pot in a bright location such as on a windowsill and add water regularly and then the shoots will start to appear. The suggestion from another commenter of using tweezers to put the seeds in is helpful, and I covered mine to help with germination - the basil and chive seeds are starting to sprout in just over a week!
