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.
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 ...
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]
Mammillaria elongata, the gold lace cactus or ladyfinger cactus, is a species of flowering plant in the family Cactaceae, native to central Mexico.

Trichocereus macrogonus var. pachanoi (synonyms including Trichocereus pachanoi and Echinopsis pachanoi) is a fast-growing columnar cactus found in the Andes at 2,000–3,000 m (6,600–9,800 ft) in altitude. [3] [4] It is one of a number of kinds of cacti known as San Pedro cactus.
Parsley is easy to grow from seed, although it can be slow, taking three weeks or more to germinate. To start, bury seeds 1/4 or 1/2 inch below the soil surface and keep watered.
It occurs at altitudes from 1,200 to 2,300 m (3,900 to 7,500 ft) and is hardy for a cactus (USDA Zone 5A). [6] In parts of its range, often just below the pinyon-juniper belt, it can be abundant, surrounded by low grasses and forbs that are brown most of the year; in such places chollas are conspicuous as the only tall green plant.
