Moisten the soil thoroughly before planting. Sow seeds on top of the germinating mix, lightly pressing into the soil and sprinkling with sand to barely cover them. Keep the soil consistently moist by misting as it dries out. Don’t let the soil get soggy or dry out. Containers for starting these seeds should be shallow with several holes punched into the bottom. You can use plastic take-out trays with clear lids for easy covering. Or you can cover with plastic or glass. Make sure containers are clean and sanitized before planting. The seeds are tiny, making them easy to lose and sometimes difficult to work with. So small, in fact, they could potentially blow away in the wind. Plant them indoors or in a wind-free area. Keep the planted seeds where the wind can’t reach them, in bright light but not direct sun. Growing succulent plants from seed requires patience. When seeds sprout in a few weeks, remove the covering and continue to keep misted. Give them limited, dappled sun at this point, if possible. Let the plants continue to grow. Transplant into individual containers when a good root system has developed. Care for them as you normally would and enjoy your new, unique and interesting plants.
