When to plant succulent seeds

Abstract: This article shares experience related to succulents, including when to plant succulent seeds, followed by detailed content.

Nowadays, sowing succulents is quite common, but many beginners don't know when to plant succulent seeds. In fact, the timing of sowing succulent seeds cannot be simply divided by month or season, because our country has a vast territory with significant climate differences between north and south. Moreover, the degree of human intervention in the sowing environment is high, such as the presence of heating. Therefore, this article tells succulent enthusiasts when to plant succulent seeds based on the temperature for sowing.

About sowing temperature:

Many enthusiasts are eager to sow succulent seeds as soon as they purchase them. If they don't see germination after a month, they give up without considering the sowing temperature. Some people sow Sedum seeds at over 30 degrees Celsius, while others continue sowing Sedum seeds even when the temperature is down to 15 degrees Celsius. Sowing at inappropriate temperatures often leads to low germination rates or no germination at all.

Life has its own way, which is very easy to understand. If we insist on sowing Sedum in the extreme heat of summer or the severe cold of winter, the seeds naturally won't give us face. We should choose to sow seeds at the appropriate season and temperature, following the laws of nature. For example, in the hot summer, you can completely sow Echeveria seeds. In the long cold winter, with heating in the north,肉锥 (Fleshy Spike) and Lithops are both good choices.

Everyone can refer to this temperature to choose succulent plant seeds: Sedum seeds at 20℃; Lithops seeds at 15℃~20℃; Fleshy Spike seeds at 15℃; Cactaceae seeds at over 30℃. The temperature needs to be a consistent temperature, and do not sow during periods of rapid temperature changes. Temperature is not an absolute value, but an average reference value for a day. It doesn't necessarily mean that seeds won't germinate if the temperature is a bit higher or lower, but this is the best germination temperature recognized by everyone through practice, for your reference.
