(◕ᴗ◕✿) Growing cacti from seed is easy and rewarding! It takes knowing a few guidelines and a lot of patience, but not much else (besides seeds.)
We're planting the Mammillaria Haagenea seeds harvested in my last video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BglokO5QLwk) and taking a look at some progress from a few other seedlings I've started this year including Echinocactus grusonii 'Golden Barrel,' Mammillaria haageana, and Aloe maculata. I've included several macro shots.

TLDW: Start seeds in a plastic tray with drainage and cactus soil. Cover with 1/4" of sifted dirt. Keep humid. Water gently and daily, or when the soil dries out.
