Karsty Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Well, honestly BigPhil, I've been germinating cactus seeds for 40 years, and humidity is somewhere between unhelpful and harmful. All you need is sufficient moisture and heat in the growing medium itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanP Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Congrats man! Prickly pear's used to be one of my fav's when growing up, buy a bucket full on the way home from school and they would not survive the trip before being all eaten up I see unfortunately this one is an invasive here, explains why it was EVERYWHERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
