I received 11 seeds and planted them the following day, in cactus mix, atop a heating mat (at 78 deg.), under lights. Within 48 hours I had 11 seedlings that looked like tiny alien life forms (as desert plants tend to do very early in life) and now, a couple of months later, I have a very respectable forest of these weird and beautiful life forms. I can’t wait to see them all in bloom next summer. Yet another outstanding experience with Strictly Medicinal’s seeds.
