Obregonia densdrii

[Hanazono]

Obregonia denegrii is one of slow growing cacti.
I bough 50 seeds initially and sowed on 28th September 2005.
Several seedlings were grafted and others were kept as own-root seedlings.
I lost seedlings by various reasons and just 12 are remained.
The size is around 8 cm in diameter, I assume they will grow more.


Many seeds were collected from my cacti and sowed on 9th August 2013
24 seedlings were grafted and others were kept as own-root seedlings.

Impressive! The growth between 1st August 2014 and 23rd December 2014 is particularly neat. I suppose they really liked the repotting.

What is your method for handling the tiny seedlings during repotting? Do you fill the pot and then make holes to drop the seedlings in or do you have another method?

I fill the pot and soak it in water.
I make holes to drop seedlings after lift it up from water.

I repotted 120 seedlings into 5 cm square pots today.
