What sort of medium are you using for these seedlings?

Hey Jacob 👋🏼 to get them this far, they have been in a very sandy mix which includes silver sand, and a loam based seed sowing compost (containing soil), and then kept the temps at about 20 degrees Celsius in high humidity. I then weened them off the humid conditions slowly about two months ago and now I water them similarly to my other succulents. I’ll have to repot them soon as they are starting to get big now. Have you ever tried growing succulents from seed? @SpicyCactus

They do Katy! Nice to see them starting to resemble the mature form a bit more 😄 🍇 @gjones

Interesting. No, I haven't but I've been interested in trying.

I’ll tag you in an older post - I have to admit it was difficult finding a good website or video on YouTube to guide me, in the end I went with a gut feeling as to how they probably germinate in the wild. I’m sure others will prob use diff mixes but this one worked for me. Give it a go 😄👍🏼 @SpicyCactus

Getting cuter by the day @qt 😄👍🏼 is like to start getting them in better soil although they are still very tiny. Might be a little while longer before I can think about reporting these I think
