Germination of
Stenocereus queretaroensis 'Rojo'
Rojo Cactus: Red cactus, Red ball cactus
Stenocereus queretaroensis 'Rojo' seeds should be sown in a well-draining cactus soil mix and kept slightly moist until germination occurs. The seeds require warmth to germinate, so a consistent temperature of 25-30�C (77-86�F) is recommended. A heating mat can be used to maintain the temperature. Germination can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, and patience is key as some seeds may take longer than others. Once the seedlings have emerged, they can be transplanted into individual pots with a similar soil mix.
Some of plants may have very have specific germination requirements that may not be covered in these general instructions.
Many seeds require pre-treatment before sowing which we try to list here when we can, but this information may not be present here. Germination times and germination temperatures are to be a guide only. Many factors can DRASTICALLY affect this.
It's always a good idea to research the specific germination requirements from multiple sources for each plant before attempting to grow them from seed.
