SongofJoy said:Keith, are you talking about Gymnocalycium mihanovichii? I assume you don't mean a columnar cactus with a round purple top that has been grafted onto it.

Put your cactus soil in a container about 4 inches deep. Make sure there is excellent drainage. Water the soil. Shake the seeds onto the top of the soil and cover with no more than about 1/8" of soil. Put into a clear plastic bag to keep soil moist and so that you can see the growth. Keep warm (at least 70°). It takes about 1 to 4 weeks for germination depending on conditions. Don't put the container in direct sunlight but do place where there is bright light. Repot after several months.



Yes I'm talking about grafted cactus, I heard the purple color produces babies that grow on their own roots.
