Sowing Succulent Seeds: Your Step-by-Step Guide

Spread the Seeds

Gently spread your succulent seeds over the surface of your prepared planting medium. Make sure they are evenly distributed. Do not bury the seeds; they need light to germinate.

Cover with Plastic Wrap

Cover your planting container with a clear plastic wrap. This will create a mini greenhouse effect, maintaining humidity and temperature for the seeds to germinate.

Place in a Bright Spot

Place your covered container in a bright spot, but out of direct sunlight. Too much direct sun can cause the seeds to dry out or overheat.
