Just to say Hi

Post by caretaker »

I am totally new to growing succulents but willing to give it a go, I do like the stone looking plants and would love to grow them from seed.
I have a small greenhouse 6x4 , I have made 2 benches on each side but one bench I have a home made propagator with heating cable, I was hoping to use this to grow the seeds and plants in.
First I need to get some seeds but there is such a big choice I don't know were to begin.
Looks like I will be picking your brains.
A bit about me, retired yippy, bad health but getting better, married over 45 years, one dog that keeps me active.
Thanks for having me, Reg

Welcome to the forum Reg. You will soon fill a small greenhouse if you grow from seed. Good luck with the growing.
Remember if you grow Lithops from seed they need cool conditions at night.
