I find that if you put them in sulforic acid for 8 minutes before sowing, and then wash with water, you get a higher germination rate. I have tried it for some years, and typically get 30-50% better germination when i treat with acid before sowing.

Hello everybody,
I've seen lots of nice seedlings here and
was wondering if you could help me with my next sowing
I know this is not the best season for the job
but I'm just studying the matter to be ready in the early autumn
because I want to use my new homemade germinator ;)
I'm going to sow E. horizonthalonius, parry and policephalus and want to know anything about
stratification and germination temperatures 8)
1) what is the best germination temperature ? and how many degrees of difference there should be between day and night ?
2) do you stratify your echinocactus seeds ? How ? Seeds are wet or dry ? Do you put them in the fridge or
freezer, hjow long for ?
Hope my english is good enough to make you understand what I'm saying !!!
Hello,
do you have updated pictures of your grafts ?
Thanks a lot;
Sorry i have`nt
I will make.
