Seed Preparation and Sowing

Direct Sowing (Best for Outdoor Growth):

• Sow seeds in well-draining soil after the last frost in spring.
• Lightly press seeds into the soil and cover with a thin layer of sand or fine soil.
• Water gently to keep the soil slightly moist until germination (typically 2-4 weeks).

Starting Indoors (Recommended for Early Growth):

• Use a cactus mix or sandy soil in seed trays.
• Keep in a warm, bright location with temperatures around 65-75°F.
• Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Transplant seedlings outdoors when they are 3-4 inches tall and temperatures are consistently warm.

Maintenance

• Watering: Water deeply but infrequently; allow soil to dry completely between waterings.
• Lighting: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
