Germination Tips:

1. Soil Mix: Use a well-draining, sterilized cactus mix—ideally a blend of cactus soil, perlite, and coarse sand.
2. Sowing: Scatter seeds on the surface of moist soil. Press them in lightly—do not cover, as they need light to germinate.
3. Humidity & Light: Cover with a humidity dome or plastic wrap. Keep in bright, indirect light or under grow lights.
4. Temperature: Maintain a warm temperature between 23–30°C (73–86°F) for optimal germination.
5. Watering: Mist the soil to keep it lightly moist. Avoid letting it dry out completely during germination.
6. Timeframe: Seeds typically germinate within 1–3 weeks. Once seedlings appear, gradually reduce humidity and increase airflow.

With proper care, your Echinopsis peruvianus seedlings will grow into tall, elegant cacti that can live for decades. Perfect for those seeking both beauty and botanical heritage.
