    I bought a cactus seed mix and sowed some seeds.. They already sprouted..My question is what is the best way to take care of the seedlings? Some germinated close to eachother, should i wait for them to get bigger or should i move them while they are still small? Thanks

    let them grow for a bit before moving them.

    Yes, it is very easy to damage them if you move them now. I do that only if I get a serious infestation of mould or similar things.

    I have some little 'living stones' seedlings that I recently germinated, but also have cactus seeds too. I've been trying to give my little guys lots of sunshine as well. They seem to be swelling up, and I am getting excited now! I've always wanted to grow these succulents, but never had the chance up until now.

    I enjoy cactus plants, and have a few of them. Each Fall, I love to go to the greenhouse to check out their new selection of Cacti and succulents. Wonder what new little cuties they'll get in this year.
