Alkarty Mesembryanthemum Seeds – Growing Guide
1. How to Grow from Seeds
- Sowing Time: Start indoors at any time—ideal timing is spring, about 6–8 weeks before the last frost. Outdoors, sow after frost risk passes.
- Seed Placement: Sprinkle seeds lightly on well-draining soil—do not cover them, as light is necessary for germination.
- Germination Conditions: Keep soil moist (not waterlogged) and maintain temperatures around 15–20 °C (59–68 °F); germination takes ~7–14 days.
2. Care & Maintenance
| Aspect | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Sunlight | Full sun is best for vibrant blooms—at least 6–8 hours daily. |
| Soil | Use sandy, free-draining soil or cactus mix; ideal in rock gardens or containers. |
| Watering | Once established, water sparingly—let soil dry between waterings to avoid root rot. |
| Pruning | Deadhead spent flowers and trim in autumn to maintain appearance and encourage reblooming. |
| Pest & Disease | Generally low-maintenance, but indoors they may attract aphids; manage promptly. Be wary of overwatering. |
