Kevin is starting some cactus from seed. It's just a variety pack that he sprinkles onto some very sandy
soil, watered well and wrapped in a plastic bag to create a desert effect. Within a week or so we began to see the cactus popping up. These pictures are progressive beginning about 2 months ago.
The cactus are the little greenish-brown dots on the surface and in the cracks of the soil.
These are the cactus today. They are the greenish-brown dots with tufts of white on top. Still very tiny - probably about 1/2 to 1 cm tall. Eventually we will transplant them to other pots and they can continue to grow on their own. As everyone know, cacti are very slow growing so it will be awhile before they are ready. On Saturday night I saw the one my aunt has. She said it's over 20 years old and it's approximately 3 1/2 ft. high.
