Germination of
Eriosyce ceratistes
Black Spine Cactus, Golden Ball Cactus, Notocactus scopa.
Eriosyce ceratistes is a cactus that is native to Chile. The seeds can be sown in well-draining soil and kept moist until germination, which typically takes 1-2 weeks. The soil should be kept slightly moist, but not wet, and the seeds should be kept in a warm location with bright, indirect light.
Some of plants may have very have specific germination requirements that may not be covered in these general instructions.
Many seeds require pre-treatment before sowing which we try to list here when we can, but this information may not be present here. Germination times and germination temperatures are to be a guide only. Many factors can DRASTICALLY affect this.
It's always a good idea to research the specific germination requirements from multiple sources for each plant before attempting to grow them from seed.
