Succulents are wonderful plants that feel great in indoor cultivation. Such cultures guarantee ease of care, as well as a spectacular appearance.

 Growing succulents from seeds at home is a completely feasible process that is easy to carry out even for an inexperienced florist. You just have to follow certain tips. Before you fully immerse yourself in such a process, you should choose a high-quality container. Its height should be at least 50 millimeters. It is best to give preference to plastic containers with drainage holes at the bottom.

 Before properly planting succulents from seeds, it is necessary to choose the optimal composition of the soil. After all, it depends on the composition of the soil what the final result will be.

 For such a process, conventional mixtures are suitable, which contain a coarse mineral base – agroperlite, sand, small gravel. Crushed or granulated coal is also added to the composition. An excellent way out of this situation will be the purchase of a universal peat filler – slightly acid humus. Perlite, sand and crushed coal are added to it in identical proportions. If you decide to prepare the mixture yourself, then it must be disinfected. For this purpose, steaming, roasting or treatment with a special solution for disinfection is used.

 The Council. To eliminate pathogenic microorganisms, you can sterilize the substrate by baking it in the oven at 150 degrees for 35 minutes.

 The cultivation of succulents from seeds at home is often carried out on a substrate mixed on the basis of granite chips, sand or gravel. Seeds can also be planted in special mineral substrates, this significantly reduces the likelihood of death of seedlings. But in this case, it will be necessary to water the seedlings daily, using special fertilizers for such purposes.

 Let's consider step by step the process of how to grow succulents from seeds: 

 1. Preparation. To evenly distribute the seeds, you will need to take a thick sheet of paper, bend it in half, put the seed material there. 

 2.Directly the planting process. Tapping with a needle or a thin stick, you will need to disperse the planting material on the surface of the substrate.The seeds are laid out on top to then place a layer of coarse sand. Its layer should be about 2 millimeters. Keep in mind – it is important that the sprinkled layer does not exceed the size of the seed itself. Therefore, small "peas" do not need to be sprinkled at all.

 3. Markup. Be sure to make plastic tags, which indicate the type of crops. This allows you to understand the name of the plants in order to provide them with proper care in the future.

 4. Watering. From above, you will need to pour the soil surface, using filtered water for this. A spray gun is used for this process. This is important so as not to erode the soil. Next, you need to cover the container with a film or lid. The greenhouse is covered before the seeds begin to germinate until the plants get stronger. Then gradually the covering is reduced.

 During this entire period, it is necessary to ensure that the seeds are in a moist substrate. Your seeds can germinate from a few days to several weeks or more. It depends on the type of succulent, the temperature of the content and the lighting conditions. You will see young shoots of Monanthes Polyphylla in 14-21 days.

 How succulents grow from seeds depends largely on the rules of care. Special attention is paid to: 

 1. Temperature. The optimal indicator is considered to be + 21-23 degrees, but not more than 30 degrees. It is important that the mini-greenhouse is not in the open sun. At night, the seeds should rest from the elevated temperature. You should also avoid getting drafts.

 2. Lighting. The light will need good, but sunlight can harm young plants. If you want to grow crops all year round, you will need to buy a special lamp for lighting.

 3. Hydration. Watering is carried out regularly. It is not allowed that the soil dries up, but stagnation of water should be prevented. It is better to moisten a little, as the soil dries out. In the first months, drying of the soil is not allowed. Remember that watering is done more often in summer than in winter. One independent plant will need 3-4 ml of water.

 Self–cultivation of succulents from seeds is a great opportunity to decorate a house or plot with exotic plant species. They are extremely difficult to buy in a flower shop, but easy to cultivate at home.
