Echinocereus coccineus, triglochidiatus SEEDS (200+ count). Seeds harvested in July - August 2023. The seeds come from the mother plant in the photos.

This mother plant was chosen for the deepest reddish orange color and biggest size flowers from the nursery lot in Tucson. The plants were rescues from urban development. This is a prolific bloomer. “The flowers appear specialized in hummingbirds, but are also pollinated by bees, lots of bees. They are huge and highly rewarding, and daily nectar production averages 30 mg sugar per flower.” -Llifle.com (source: http://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/CACTI/Family/Cactaceae/7140/Echinocereus_coccineus)

After pollination, the fruits form which starts out green and turn to red once ripe. Quite attractive actually.

There are lots of information online on how to start Echinocereus from seeds using the “baggie” method. I have great success using this method. It is optional to pasteurize the soil before sowing which I do. Some also use a light spray of fungicide or hydrogen peroxide. Again, it is optional, but these extra steps help prevent fungus from ruining your sowings.

These seeds when properly stored in an airtight container in the dark will remain viable for years. Growing cacti from seeds is a fun and rewarding experience.

I get a lot of flowers which set fruit so I get a ton of seeds! That’s why I am able to include 200+ amount of seeds for the price. If you’re new to cactus seed sowing, there’s plenty of room for mistakes and/or sharing with friends.
