Echeveria mix - 10 seeds

Each pack contains 10+ seeds of mixed varieties of echeveria.

HOW TO GROW?

1. Sterilize substrate (3+ minutes in a microwave or 50 mins in an oven)
2. Planters should be about 1.5 inches deep. Fill a container with good draining soil. Good drainage is essential; 50% regular potting soil with 50% coarse sand, perlite, or pebbles (~0.15 inch)
3. Echeverias have tiny seeds that should not be covered with soil. They germinate best at 18-20 °C temperatures.
4. Equally Water the substrate with water - place a piece of a napkin on top of the substrate and slowly pour the water over it.
5. Let the container soak up water for 5 minutes. Leave the container to drain out the water surplus.
6. Spread the seeds over the substrate, leave some space between them.
7. Put the whole container into a zip bag to keep humidity
8. Avoid exposing to direct sunlight, but provide them with light - place them in some bright place.
9. The germination process usually starts within four days – two weeks
10. Start opening the container gradually so that the seedlings can get used to the new air conditions. Seedlings need some moisture; the substrate shouldn’t be dry, but don’t overwater. They need an ample amount of light – but not direct sunlight
11. Repot them when you notice that seedlings are space-limited
12. Examine pots daily for fungus infection. Treat with fungicide if the infection appears
