Sowing and harvesting time: Sowing is recommended in spring or early summer (March-August) to optimize germination with warmer temperatures. Not applicable for "harvesting" in the horticultural sense. Optimal conditions for germination: Requires constant temperatures between 20°C and 30°C, moist but well-drained substrate, high environmental humidity (achieved by covering the container) and indirect light. Soil type: Requires an extremely well-draining substrate, specific for cacti, composed mainly of inert materials such as pumice, volcanic lapilli, coarse sand and a minimal percentage of organic soil. Recommended exposure: It prefers full sun or very bright partial shade, especially during the hottest hours of the day in southern regions. Germination times: Times can vary greatly, from 1-2 weeks to several months, but under optimal conditions you can see the first sprouts within 2-6 weeks. Pot or ground cultivation: Perfectly adaptable to pot cultivation, ideal for apartments and terraces.
