Sow the seeds, which are light brown and very fine, on a fine sandy medium. DO NOT cover the seeds. Water from below by placing the trays in a drip tray to allow water to be soaked up by the soil, and then remove the tray and let it drain. The following medium usually works well with most succulents:
- 4 parts coarse river sand
- 4 parts fine river sand
- 1 part sieved well-rotted compost.
- 1 part perlite
- 1 part vermiculite
Always treat seeds with a pre-emergence fungicide as seedlings often suffer from fungal diseases which causes them to die rapidly after germination.
