Description: 40 Seeds Sweet Yellow Prickly Pear Cactus Indian Fig Cactus Home Gardening Seeds Instructions on growing from seeds: Fill small pots or a seed tray with cactus soil. Break up any lumps in soil. Water the soil thoroughly and allow to drain. Sow the seeds in the late spring when night temperatures consistently reach above 45 degrees. Rub the prickly pear cactus seeds against a piece of sandpaper to scratch the seed coat. Scratched seeds germinate faster and more reliably than untreated seeds. Plant one seed per pot or plant seeds 1 inch apart in seed trays. Press the seed into the soil and cover with a fine layer of soil, barely 1/8 inch thick. Mist the soil surface with a fine spray of water. Cover the tray with the plastic lid or put individual pots in plastic bags. Cut a small hole in the plastic to create a vent. Place the pots or tray in a sunny window or under artificial lights. Check the soil daily for moisture and temperature. Ideal soil and air temperatures for prickly pear cactus is 70 degrees. If heat builds up under the plastic, move the container or open the vent further to release excess heat. Water the soil as needed with a fine mist, keeping the soil moist but not wet. Inspect the seedlings daily. Cactus that turn yellow need more light. Brown or red cactus are receiving too much light. Transplant the seedlings into larger pots or outside once the roots are well-developed. Place the transplants in full sun spaced 24 to 36 inches apart. Keep the soil moist for the first two weeks or until the plant has adjusted to its new location. Increase the time between watering once the cactus are established, allowing the soil to dry out slightly. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10 to encourage pad growth. If you prefer to encourage flowers and fruit, use a low-nitrogen fertilizer such as 0-10-10. Seed Shipping Charge to US : $1.99 first order, then $0.40 each additional order.
