I have a few seedlings about 1cm tall. It's OK for them to rest with other cacti.
Best regards,
Alexander

Re: What to do with seedlings in the winter?
Keep them warm with sunlight or artificial lighting or a heat pad? Is there a specific watering for seedlings in winter?
I'm on my very first seed growing venture and want to know as well. Mine are less than a month old, in containers , under lighting and moist @ 76F/24C. Seem to be doing well. One species is about 1CM tall...the other 5-6 mm .

I have seedlings 10 days old, they are about 5-7mm tall but not more than 2mm (a few 3mm) width. I really look forward first spines
Could you please share photo, Steve?
When I said about 1cm tall seedlings, I mean seedlings more than 6 months old.

Sclerocactus seedlings. Sowed 11.18. Small spines emerging. The red ones are Scleros. The pudgy green ones are Ech. texensis. They are 5mm. Both sowed on the same date.
