Hey guys, I planted my seeds in February using the precious cactus takeaway Tek and it worked great, got close to 100% germination but all the seedlings look like there laying on there sides and the roots have grown but haven't penetrated into the soil, I will upload pictures but does anyone have pictures of what the young seedlings should look like when sprouted, and at different stages?
Also, if the roots haven't penetrated can I gently bury them with hurting the seedlings? Thanks heaps guys

Welcome!

I don't grow Lophophora but can tell you cactus seedlings should not be lying down or have their roots exposed. The roots weren't able to penetrate the surface of the potting soil.
