Hi Lifer

Your plants look great. Congratulations. Nothing is better than growing from seeds.

So neatly arranged as well. Have they been transplanted, or did you manage to spread the seeds out perfectly?

Great looking seedlings, I love to sow Astrophytum and Lophophora, at 12 months you have a micro plant of what you are going to have in 5 or 6 years time. Just beautiful .
