Planting Cactus Seeds

Husband had a business trip to a hot and deserty part of America and brought me back a little plastic egg of a greenhouse containing vermiculite and some cactus seeds.

Here are the contents

- an opened egg, the vermiculite (Wiki says : Vermiculite is a hydrous phyllosilicate mineral. It undergoes significant expansion when heated.) useful for planting seeds when you want to cover them but not cut out the light, and a small capsule of seeds.

Here they are planted with 4 teaspoons of water added, as per instructions...

and sealed back inside their tiny ovoid greenhouse to keep in warmth and moisture.

That was the end of August so stay tuned to see how they are getting on.
