I open this post to share my sowings.
I'm kinda bad at growing cacti and succulents from seeds. Hopefully this year I will be more successful.

I am particularly jealous of the Euphorbia obesa and Lophophora. Well done.

Today I re potted the Dioscoreas... they had no more space!
The biggest is larger than a 2 euro coins.
I hope they will keep growing as good after the repotting!

Are you dates when you sowed them or when they germinated? I ask because my Carnegiea gigantea are only six months old and your picture shows them being about 1/3 smaller than mine.

My C.gigantea are comparable size for the age as Pricky, I would be very impressed for 3 times that size in only 6 months, are you positive of their source? If so, then you must share your technique since it clearly works well!

I have bought my seeds from Mesa Garden. All I do is put them in a closed container with lots of light on a heat mat and wait until I see they stop growing fast. Then I slowly introduce them to open air. Then I water them about once a week, or when the soil is dry. I haven't looked at them for a while so I don't know if they have grown much recently.
