Pitaya cacti usually germinate after between 11 and 14 days after shallow planting. As they are cacti, overwatering is a concern for home growers. As their growth continues, these climbing plants will find something to climb on, which can involve putting aerial roots down from the branches in addition to the basal roots.
Gymnocalycium mihanovichii is found growing at lower elevations up to 500 meters in Paraguay and northeast Argentina. The species was discovered there in 1903 by Alberto Vojtěch Frič. [9] The first description of Echinocactus mihanovichii was published in 1905 by Robert Louis August Maximilian Gürke.
The fruit of Pediocactus simpsonii is a small rounded cylinder 6–11 millimeters long and 4.5–10 millimeters in diameter. The fruits are smooth, green tinged with red and filled with gray or black seeds. [6] [3] Its seeds are 2–3 millimeters by 1.5–2 millimeters. [3] When ripe the fruit dries out and splits open to release the seeds. [4]
This type of cactus is relatively fast-growing and keeps its cute rounded shape. They can grow up to five feet tall outdoors, though they make a fun windowsill plant indoors. Give it full sun, and ...
Sclerocactus seeds are difficult to germinate as they contain inhibitors, and require cold stratification, prolonged soaking, or scarification of the seeds to trigger germination. Seeds of members of this genus can take up to three years to germinate in some cases if not scarified or subjected to repeated freeze-thaw cycles in the presence of ...
The flowers appear at the tips of the shoots, are 6 to 7 centimeters long and reach a diameter of 6 to 9 centimeters. If pollination is successful, Echinocereus rigidissimus forms circular shaped, greenish to dark purplish fruit, with white flesh and dark brown to black seeds approximately 3 months after flowering.
Some species produce seeds that require special conditions to germinate, such as cold treatment. The seeds of many Australian plants and plants from southern Africa and the American west require smoke or fire to germinate. Some plant species, including many trees, do not produce seeds until they reach maturity, which may take many years. Seeds ...
