I managed 10 seeds from my 3 pods. (I thought they each produced only 3.)
Sow fresh? What a bit? I have ordered seed before and it never germinated so I am hoping fresh seed is the answer.

Re: Euphorbia obesa seed sowing
I'd sow now.
I find Euphorbias need it a bit cooler and more airy than cacti - they often rot before germination or immediately after if too hot and saturated. They seem robust and fast growing once the cotyledons have expanded.

Re: Euphorbia obesa seed sowing
In my experience, Euphorbia seed doesn't have a great shelf life.
Best sown within a year of harvest, after which, viability drops considerably

Especially interested in Mesembs. small Aloes and South African miniatures and bulbs.
