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

Re: Just to say Hi
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.
