Also impressive. Are you using artificial light? What's the potting medium?

I use 25% ordinary flower soil and 75% cat litter clay. Yes, all my seedlings for this season grow in only LED-light and they have around 30 deg C in daytime and around 20 at night.

Update...
All the plants was transplanted into 6 cm pots a year ago. Not an easy task because of the hooks.
It is now circa one year and eight months old, give or take a few days :)

Excellent looking plant.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

I have just looked at all the different threads of your seed sowing and your plants look great. As a relative newbie to this I have not had to transplant any seedlings yet but I can see it would not be easy with those hooked spines. :grin:

Hook spines are always trouble, i ve had the same issue with guelzowiana seedlings. It was not so easy to seperate 9 seedlings in 9cm square pot.
Your plants look very good!👍
