130 Seeds

Growing your own cacti from seed is easier than you think! We selected several attractive species with compatible growing requirements for our Seed Needs cacti mixture. While you may recognize the cactus plants on our packaging as being similar to the potted varieties at your local garden stores, you might not know that many of them eventually grow into the iconic cacti of the American Southwest and other arid, semi-desert regions of South and Central America. 

As long as you have a sunny windowsill, you can grow our cacti mixture anywhere, any time of the year. If you live where outdoor cactus gardens thrive you can start your own collection for transplanting. Keep them for yourself, give them to friends, or grow them to sell at your local farmer's market. Each time you plant a cactus seed, you'll get to guess which species will emerge! Here are the core cactus species you're most likely to receive with the Seed Needs cacti mixture:

Saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea)

The saguaro is most recognizable cactus species of all. No Southwestern tourist shop is complete without knick-knacks and coffee mugs emblazoned with the upturned-armed, towering saguaro. Yet in the wild, C. carnegiea only grows in southwestern Arizona, southeastern California, and the northern reaches of the Mexican state of Sonora. Young potted saguaro are strictly vertical, with 5-8 prominent, spiny ribs and smooth, dark green skin. They add height to multi-species container cactus gardens. 

Golden barrel (Echinocactus grusonii)

Named for their neat vertical rows of yellow spines and stoutly columnar shape, these Mexican natives are more often found on windowsills and garden landscapes than in their vanishing native habitat. Other common (but not very nice) names for the golden barrel cactus are "Mother-In-Law's-Seat" and "Mother-In-Law's-Cushion".

Assorted Mammillaria species

The Mammillaria genus includes nearly 200 species, most notably the wispy-spined varieties called the "powder puffs" or "puffballs". Many cacti within this genus tend to produce flowers within a couple years of germination; a blink of the eye as compared to most other cacti. Mammillaria may be bulbous, clustered, oblong, or many-branched. 

Assorted Paddle Cactus (Opundia genus)

Delicious "prickly pear" cacti are among this genus, as are varieties from which the paddles are prepared as vegetables; in Mexico, the dish is called Nopales. The Opundia cacti are among the most hardy and easiest to grow.

Sowing the Seeds

For an ideal cactus seedling mix, combine and sterilize the following:

  • 25% Crushed granite
  • 25% Crushed limestone
  • 10% Perlite
  • 40% Screened aged compost, screened potting mix, or screened cactus mix

Use a clear-domed, double-layer nursery tray, found at most hardware stores. The bottom tray should have channels to permit brief bottom-soaking and drainage. Fill each cell to just beneath the top with the sterilized and cooled soil mix; don't tamp down. Fill the bottom tray with 1" of water; soak nursery tray for 20 minutes until substrate is moist. Drain lower tray, replace cell tray. Surface-sow seeds 1-2 per cell, mist with a hand sprayer, and replace the dome.

Place the trays on a heat mat set between 70F° and 75°F with a 100-watt (minimum) fluorescent plant light 8" to 10" above the trays. Or, place them in a sunny window in a room that doesn't fall below 65F°. Your baby cacti will require 8-12 hours of light each day. Mist-soak them daily, but watch out for algae and fungus. Removing the dome for an hour or so a day will let the trays "breathe". 

Growing Conditions

Most cacti, including the species in our mixture, do not tolerate frost. Potted cacti can be brought indoors in wintertime, provided they're given plenty of artificial sunlight or a sunny spot near a window. Humidity helps them germinate but once they're established, young cacti prefer hot, arid climates. While they can withstand drought, they don't tolerate standing water; completely drench their substrate when the top 1" to 2" inches is dry to the touch.

Cactus roots are shallow to take advantage of rare, brief rains. Wide, shallow containers work great, especially for multi-species plantings. Feed with a quality cactus fertilizer 2-3 times each year. 

If you wish to transplant your cacti outdoors (in no-frost areas only) amend the planting spot with a mix similar to that described above. Choose a site with 8-10 hours of direct sunlight, and take care to follow watering guidelines. 

Germination & Growth

Cacti species germinate at different rates, and cultivation conditions further influence emergence. Expect tiny bright green "blobs" to poke up from the plant surface in about 7-12 days, but don't give up on them until 30 days has passed. 

If you get two or more baby cacti in a cell, separate them with pebbles or small rocks to shape a "tiny cactus garden". Or, you can gently transplant them to their own cells. Cacti can learn to cohabitate when they're grown in containers.

Best and toughest dog toy on the market 4 all breeds and sized dogs
Size: Large, Size: Large
Now i know this doesnt appear to be good based off the photos but hear me out. My pitbull (and any pitbull owner will most likley know the same struggle with chew toys) is an extrememly tough ans agressive chewer! Every toy i would purchase for him from rubber ones to rope ones, enormous raw hides, oversized balls thinking it would be hard for him to bite believing that would increase its life, it did not. None of the toys lasted for more than a few HOURS!!! And that was when he was being easy with them! I was on the line of stopping biying him toys and letting him just chew sticks, but then one day in a coversation with my plumber and familt friend he mentioned trying kong brand dog toys. I didnt have anything to lose besides more money and an hour of entertainment for my dog so i decided to try them. I bought 3 different kong brand toys. A tug of war one that was rope with kong rubber grip handled ends, a weird ball like toy that was able to add peanut butter in a small hole and this toy. Amazed the tug of war toy(handles only) even though fairly thin lasted over 3 days!! And thats huuuuge for him with toys. Then the little peanut butter ball thing lasted about a week! I was sold. But then he finally got to try this ball with tug of war handles that contains a tennis ball when it finally is destroyed as a bonus toy and it even squeeks and the swueeker was even guarded by the rubber so it wasnt crushed immediatley! Now afyer seeing the picture of said ball it is destroyed now but it lasted many tug of wars with him and him gnawinf on it for hours every day. The kicker is i bought it roughly around september 16th, it is now JANUARY 21st!!!!! The ball has now lasted him approximately 4months 5days! Thats an insane increse of chew life for any pitbull especially mine. And it ximes in 2 sizes. The large is a little bigger than a large cantelope or slightly smaller than a basketball. And they have a smaller version for small breed heavy chewers!! I couldnt be more pleased with this purchase and will definatley be ordering 3 more ASAP considering his prob only has another week or 2 left. The only negatives are 1, when they do chew off the handles tou cant play tug of war any more and 2 that when they finally get into the main cavity where they can actually start chewing off little bits of it they emd up all over the place, bunchesmof little rubber nubs but its easy to clean. So if you have an extremely heavy chewer as i do and are looking for a toy that is worth the money and will last your dog a good time and that they will love(my dogs fav toy hes ever had) and u want it to squeek and have a bonus toy inside of it to hold them over til the next one arrives when they ruin it, then trust me! BUY KONG CHEW TOYS. specifically THIS TOY!! Best dog brand and toy on the market. Ajd its safe and if im not mistaken harmful chemical and bpa free so ur pups can chew safely. And it cleans their teeth as a bonus because of the tough rubber!! Its so worth it. only recommendation. Buy atleast 1 large 1 and one small one if u have a medium-large dog. If their small then probably only the small one or any other kong toy. If they're light chewers u probably will mever have to buy another chew toy again! Its that good and strong yet still flexible enough to squeek it!! Hope this review helps you and encourages u to buy this toy and brand over any other!!!

Purrrfect for a Pitbull or Am Staff Terrier
Size: Large, Size: Large
Large size Dog: Am Staff about 50-55 lbs She ruin all her toys in less than 3-5 minutes except this one. Again, we use this toys with guidance and support. Cons: Definitely built to last but must not be left unattended because we all know what our pitbull and Am Staff is capable of doing with their teeth. It has many feature, squeaky sections the sensory of the ball inside, weighted, and puncture proof, top and bottom option to carry this dog during a fetch game. Easy to clean. Cons: if left unattended this is not a chewing proof toy for 6-8 hours. That is not what is made for. This is an engagement toy you have to do with your fur friend.

Entertaining and durable
Size: Large
Great toy and quality. My dog that was a bit of a ruffian with his toys loved this toy. It lasted through his wild days so I bought my current baby one. Unfortunately she hates it. She wants the ball trapped inside but hates the sound of the outer and won't go near it or even let it touch her. Granted she is a bit...eccentric. All larger dogs I have ever seen with one love it. It is very durable. Really serious chewers may need supervision but average big chewers should be fine.

It is surviving a Mal Pitty and Shepherd
Size: Large
Two handles for them to carry with. Squeaky toy that my shepherd Mal or Pitty hasn’t gotten out so far after five weeks. Plays with it constantly. Starting to see small chunks come out but longest lasting most played with toy they’ve ever had.

Great but my dogs tear up the handle
Size: Medium
My dogs love this toy. It squeaks and is fun for fetch. The only downfall is my dogs are able to chew pieces of the rubber off the handle and try to eat it.
