Hello sobrang laking tulong po ng video niyo 9/10 na seeds na binili ko tumubo na. Sana sa susunod magkaroon ako ng madaming seeds tulad sa inyo lagi ko pinapanuod mga videos niyo salamat at godbless po.
Thank you so much for the feedback! Collect lang po ng collect, dadami din po ‘yan. I’ll make an update video po nito on how to repot 4-6 months old seedlings.
Wait ko po yang next video niyo. Nag follow na din ako sa fb page niyo gusto ko po ma update sa seedlings niyo hehe. Low budget pero sobrang gusto ko mag alaga talaga ng astrophytum kaya seedlings lang muna na collect. Thankyou
Nice guide, thank you for sharing! Are your plants getting any rest during the year? I checked that the mean temperature in Singapore it's >20 celsius degrees, so basically it's impossible for cacti to go dormant. Are they in vegetation all year long? Thank you very much for your answer!
Thank you for watching! During November, I start uprooting my cactus. I root trim them, clean, and repot on a fresh new soilmix. Usually the process, will take around 2-4 weeks, this will give the cactus a rest or dormant period and prepare them for the summer wherein they grow fast.
Thanks from Turkey
Thank you for watching!
Very cool channel and beautiful plants! I'm just wondering in your experience how seedlings respond to high temperatures? Do they like 30 degrees plus and grow fast at very high temps like adults or do you keep the temps a bit lower for them?
I keep them a bit lower around 30 degrees Celsius. High temperature will make them turn red and slow their growth.
Hi! I just bought everything besides pumice. Can I use gravel for the bottom? It's all I have. I also have rooting hormone but it's powder. I'm in the US. Can I use rooting powder?
Luar biasa🇮🇩
Thank you. There are so many guides on how to grow cactus. I will try yours. By the way, there are no holes in lid?
Thank you! I hope it will work for you.
There are no holes to keep the humidity high inside.
Hi, Very informative video. I have sown the seeds 14 days back. I have sown 5 seeds of Astrophytum asterias. I can see 3 seedlings. My doubt is till how much time I should not open the sealed polybag. And when should I change the container.
Thank you for watching and for your feedback! 🙂 I usually open mine on the 4th - 6th month, then repot them after another 2-4 months depending on the size.
Based on my experienced, need pdin e sterilized ang soil khit ramgo tinutubuan pdin fungi then e babad ulit sa dithane / fungicide. mas maganda din may starkle and osmocote layer.
Hello kim, how's about succulents seeds? The same ways right? Just different soil ?
Very helpful. Can I substitute river sand for perlite? Thanks
Yes you can. Just make sure that you sterilized the riversand.
Hi may I know where you bought the cactus seeds?
Hi can you also emphasize each brand and name of the soil in your description so we can also follow your instruction of using it.. and also suggestion where to get or order it. Thank you 😊
Thank you for watching! Here’s the list:
Peatmoss - Ramgo
• You can buy these at hardware (Ace or handyman) or on Lazada
Perlite - No brand
• I usuaaly buy mine on Everrich store in Quezon city Memorial Cirle or on Lazada (Arneth)
Fungicide - Dithane
• You can buy this on your local agriculture store.
Rooting Hormone - Either Hormex, Siam, or T-Rex (Thai brand)
• Hoex and Siam can be bought on hardware (Ace or handyman) or on Lazada
Hellooo! How to take care of them when they are 6 months old ? And if im going to repot them, what soil mix do you prefer ?
Thank you for watching! I’ll try to upload a continuation of this video soon.
Ano po ratio nyo sa dithane at growth hormone na ginamit pag spray?
I know this is off topic but… the table flooring you use are the same ones in my grandmas house lol
Hi, I just left a large query on another video. you have answered my query on the fungicide although I can't get Dithane here in the UK. If you read my other comment please let me know if my suggestion will be a reasonable substitute. My other queries on the mixes still stand as the plants are rather specialized and the seeds are minute. I want really good drainage but not to lose the seeds in the open mix. Many thanks, this channel is a fabulous find!!!!!
I grew some seedlings, similar method to this without fungicide. Just sterilise your pots, tools and media before hand. Use tap water which has been left a while for the chlorine to evaporate 😎👍🏻
If you worry about the drainage, you could do layering. For the first layer add pumice, for the second layer add your regular cactus mix, and for the top layer add a thin layer of peatmoss or organic. You can cover the seeds with either silica sand or akadama.
For the fungicide, you could opt not to use any as long as the soil mix is sterile. You can either heat it in a microwave or cook the soil mix.
Hi! Thank you for posting this. The video you created is short yet informative. I will follow these procedures that you have shared because I've been a bad seed sower for the past months. 😂
I have a lot of Gymnocalycium seed pods as of now and expecting bunch of Gymno seeds.
I only have one question: How long does it usually take for a Gymno seed to germinate? Thank you sa sagot. 😊❤️
Thank you so much for watching and for the feedback! 🙂
I usually store my gymno seeds for around a month to ensure na dry sila. Usually they will germinate on the 1st week although some seeds may take longer.
Noted. 🤩❤️
Hi What are the chances off sending me seeds to Cape Town, South Africa please? The same like you grew,
Hi your video is very informative. In 4-6mos of being closed, haven't you encountered algae or fungal infestation on the topsoil or seedlings? How do you manage them? Thanks.
Thank you for watching! Sometimes there’s a build up of Algae, if this happen I remove the algae using tweezers then spray fungicide before closing the container. To avoid fungal infestation, avoid opening the container. If there’s a present of fungal remove the infected seedling and spray fungicidez

can you share where you buy the ramgo coco peat? thanks! very informative vid.
Thank you for watching! I use ramgo peatmoss, you can check hardware stores like Ace or Handyman or on Lazada.
Hi! A very nice and useful video. I have a question. How can I cross species?
Here's a pollinating guide: ruclips.net/video/KUPS27c-N2w/видео.html
do you need to have more than one astrophytum asterias to produce seeds?
Thank you for watching! Yes, you need atleast two flowering Astrophytum to produce seeds. You need to pollinate them manually to produce seeds.
How do you clean the seed after harvesting? Did you wash the seed or just dry it? Thanks
Thank you for watching! I remove them from the seedpod then wash them with water. Then let it dry for a day. I put them on strainer to easliy wash them. M
hi! is this method also suitable for growing lithops from seeds?
Thank you for watching! I haven’t tried it on lithops seeds.
Hi! I planted astrophytum asterias seeds but it has been 3 days and they did not germinate. Do you know on average how long I have to wait for A. asterias seeds to germinate? Thanks.
Hello, thank you for watching! In my experiences, the average would be 3-7 days. Although there are some seeds that undergo dormancy. I have seeds that started germinating after 6 months.
Hello po..paano po ninyo prinipare ang fungicide po?ilang grams ng dithane at ng rooting hormones na emix sa ilang liter ng water po?thank you😍planning to sow cactus seeds soon po.
hi, what would be the correct procedure if your 4 to 5 or 6 month old seedlings have outgrown its pot? Kindly enlighten us on this in order to have the maximum number of seedlings survive this operation. Thanks so much! 😇
Thank you for watching! Once the seedlings I used in this video reach 4-6 months. I’ll be making an update showing what to do.
Can I also use peat moss, pumice and perlite in lithops seeds?
I'm not sure sorry. I haven't tried growing lithops.
Is there any alternative for perlite?
Thank you so much for watching! You can use clean pumice as an alternative.
If I am sowing in seed trays, does it make a difference if I use the taller 6” dome tops instead of the shorter 2.5” dome top? Thank you for the videos, the most helpful ones I’ve found!
Thank you for watching! I’m not really sure if it makes a difference since I haven’t tried comparing them.
i realize it is kind of randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to stream new series online?
@Reginald Adonis Flixportal :)
@Paxton Zayd Thanks, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it!!
@Reginald Adonis You are welcome :)
Can u grow Echeverias the same way . Fungicide does not burn the seeds??
Thank you for watching! I haven’t sow soft succulenys seeds sorry.
Hello! Ano po pwedeng alternative sa peatmoss?
Thank you for watching! 🙂 You can use other organic medium such as cocopeat, carbonized rice hull, vermicast, soilless medium, and etc. Just make sure po na clean ‘yung gagamitin niyo para iwas sa fungi, bacteria, and insects
Ano pong Size nung disposable na container nyo po na ginamit??
Tried this method..and my seeds actually germinated except for my melo and golden barrel..but all my mamillairias and gymo germinated with a 95 percent germination rate..thanks...
Thank you for watching and thank you for the feedback. Some seeds don’t germinate because they maybe stored more than a year. Fresh or new seeds has higher germination rates.
I've also had issues using this method with melo. It's been two tries so far, and no luck.
What is the method for melo seeds germination?
Care tips please po after few months, yung repotting small seedlings after sowing 🥺🙏 I've bought seeds from plant prince personally and really happy about germination results. I'm just worried about killing them after repotting seedlings, mine are still in baggies
Sorry for the super late reply. I hope na okay lang 'yung mga seedlings mo. I'm glad na maraming nag-germinate. Sadly, I was not able to edit 'yung susunod na part nito since nasira 'yung phone ko na isa.
Sir I suggest po sa content on how to get the seeds from the flowers of cactus
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂 I have a video on how to pollinate your cactus plants. I’ll upload how to harvest and clean seeds next week.
hi again.. can you make a video on what steps to follow six months after sowing the seeds. thank you.
Hi, I’m working on it. I’ll be sowing a new batch of seeds and document the process until I repot them on a 2 inches pots
Hi, I would like to ask if copper fungicide would work too? Or is it too strong?
Yes you can use copper fungicide.
Where did you buy those pots. Pls sgare the link thank you
Thank you for watching! I bought the pots on our local garden shops.
where did you buy all of this especially the seeds
Thank you for watching! The seeds are from my garden. I hand pollinated them myself. The materials I used were bought from local garden shops or at online shops (Lazada, Shopee).
More videos to come
Thank you for watching! I’ll upload more when tumigil na ‘yung ulan. Hindi po kasi ako makapag-video since madilim. 🙂

will be following on this one :)
Antioco Rhino Rafal Thank you for watching! I’ll upload it as soon as I finish the video.
Do u mix both the Ramgo Hormex and start Vit B1 together with Dithane ?
Can you share with us how you mix the fungicide mixture with the plant growth hormone?
Thank you for watching! 🙂 Sometimes I do mix up Hormex and Vit B1. But most of the time, I just use the B1. If it’s not available then I’ll use Hormex or the Siam plant and root hormone. And yes, I mix it/them together with dithane.
Here’s the measurements, 2 liters of clean water + 1.5 teaspoon of dithane powder + atleast two cap bottle of the B1 (most of the time I don’t measure it since there’s no bad effect even if I used excess amounts)
Thank you sir. Do u have a fb account/store?
Im using ur astro soil mix to my astro/ cacti. Thanks again man
Welcome po. Wala po akong store, I only have my page. Link is in the description 🙂
Gymnocalycium seeds how to grow cuz im a new at Cactus and im new at planting can you make a tutorial its about gymnocalycium Cactus seeds and what soil I'm new actually
Sir san po kayo nakakabili ng legit na cactus seeds. Thanks. I love your video very informative.
Thank you for watching and sorry for the late reply! The seeds I used are from my own cactus po. Pero you can check Prickly Beauties on Facebook. They sell wide variety of cactus and succulents seeds.
Can I use the rooting powder of Masitera instead of Hormex?
Thank you for watching! No po, The rooting powder is different with hormex or any liquid plant hormones. Rooting powder is applied to cuts, while plant hormones are usually diluted with water.
Did you thin out the cactus seedlings?
Hi, I don’t. I just leave them even if they are crowded. After 4-6 months, that’s the time I’ll repot them.
do you only apply fungicide once? thank you
Thank you for watching! Yes, I only apply fungicide once.
Can u grow echeveria seeds the same way ??
Thank you for watching! I haven’t tried growing Echeveria seeds using this method.
Sir next video naman ng HOW TO after 6months, yung kapag iintroduce na sila sa environment
Thank you for watching! 🙂 I will definitely make a video regarding that topic. Salamat po
The Plant Prince Ph thanks sir ☺️
@@theplantprinceph uu nga sir kasi yong sakin after ko na introduce sila sa sun nalusaw sila lahat.. Any care tips poh?
Hello, I wanted to know what I can replace the peat moss
Coco peat
You can use cocopeat, or any organic materials as long as it is clean.
Hello, where can i buy all of the things needed?
Thank you for watching! You can buy them on Lazada or Shoppee.
Is it okay to use cocopeat instead of peat moss?
Thank you for watching! Yes
great video ! but is it needed to poke hole for ventilation ?
Thank you for watching! You don’t have to put holes in the container since we need to keep the humidity high inside. They can survive and thrive inside up to 6 or more months without opening the container.
San Po kayo nakakabili ng seeds sa shoppee
Saan niyo po nabili mga pang soil mix niyo? And ano po maganda food for succulents?
Thank you for watching! 🙂 I bought them on Lazada, Agriculture store such as “Everrich”, and on garden supplies on hardwares. Osmocote pwede po, pero if gusto niyo ng organic pwede po vermicast.
What's the ratio of root hormones and dithane when mixed with water?
Thank you for watching! 🙂 Here’s the measurements, 2 liters of clean water + 1.5 teaspoon of dithane powder + atleast two cap bottle of the B1 or more depending on my stocks 😅 (most of the time I don’t measure it since there’s no bad effect even if I used excess amounts)
Thank you for taking the time to read my message. Big help 😁
My sowed seeds germinated pretty quickly but they turned to mush. What could have happened to them? They werent exposed to direct sunlight. The humidity was okay. What could I do to avoid it from happening again?
Thank you for watching! Have you sterilized/sanitize your soilmix? Molds and bacteria can kill your seedlings. You can also clean the seeds with 3% hydrogen peroxide to kill and remove the excess sugar/fruit pulp which can cause molds.
Good morning. I used ramgo pre sterilized already. But I didnt wash or sterilize the perlite. I used tap water for the solution.
How much growth hormone do you use? The B-1 start doesn’t have a direction for seeds!
Thank you for watching! I use 1 teaspoon for every 1 liter.
Thank you! Of the fungicide how much do you use mixed in with water?
Hi po! Is it ok to use pumice and vermi?
Thank you for watching! 🙂 Yes, okay lang po. Any clean organic medium pwedeng substitute sa peatmoss. I just prefer peatmoss, since ‘yung ‘yung gamit ng mga Thai breeders.
Sir how many drops of Hormex and B1 did you put??? TYSM
Hi, I don’t have a specific measurement for these since I believe these are not harmful unlike pesticides. But you could always check the recommended dilution on the label.
great video , can we use neem oil fungicide?
Thank you! I haven’t try it, but I am guessing that it won’t work well since it is oil based and you have to sealed these seeds.
@@theplantprinceph okay , does the fungus killer spray work then ?
hello!! im planning to use this method in different kinds of cactus seed .. effective kaya sa lahat nang cactus seeds??? what kind of seeds po ang nasow nyo na using this method.. TIA ☺️
Thank you for watching! I’ve tried Gymnocalycium, and Astrophytum pa lang. Most of cactus seeds have the same requirements naman kapag isosow, so this method will work.
Hiii watching here from pampanga I'll try to buy some seeds pero nag do doubt ako kung mabubuhay koba
Thank you for watching! I’m also from Pampanga po. You will never know, if you’ll not try. Try lang po ng try.
Hi. Where did you buy that small shovel? Any Shopee or Lazada link?
Hello, you can buy it from Daiso japan.
Hi nakagamit knb ng tango fungicide? Ok lng ba sya gamiting for sowing? Thanks
Thank you for watching! I’m not familiar po with tango fungicide.
Will this work for peyote cactus? Asking for a friend
Thank you for watching! Yes, this method works with peyote cactus.
Hello po ask ko lang ano yung pinang dilig nyo water lang po ba yun. Thanks po!
Thank you for watching! 🙂 ‘Yung solution na gamit ko is mixture of dithane and rooting hormone.
Watering mode in between ???
Thank you for watching! You don’t have to water them as long as you don’t open the container.
Hi Plant Prince, ive recently fell in love with Astrophytum myriostigmas and asterias….😍love your videos👌🏻can i buy seeds from u? …. Inlive in South Africa… so seeds here not easily available… please advise🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hello, that’s great. Astrophytum asterias and myriostigma are awesome cacti. Unfortunately, I can’t sell seeds outside of the Philippines since I don’t have export permit.
You could try buying from Thailand, a lot of nurseries there export cactus and seeds.
If I use vermiculite instead of a perlite, will there be any problem?
I think there would be no problem with it since seeds like moisture when they are young.
Hi! What if i don't have the sterilized peat moss? How can i sterilize it?
Is the ramgo seedling mix okay to use if i dont have ramgo peat moss? 😁
Thank you for watching! Yes, it’s okay to use Ramgo soilless seedling mix or any medium, just make sure it’s sterilized. You can sterilize your medium by heating it in a microwave oven or by solar sterilization which is exposing the medium to intense heat of the sun while it’s covered for at least 5 days. I just prefer using peatmoss, since it is the medium used in Thailand nurseries.
Hi! Ano po yung inispray sa last? Fungicide lang po or yung fungicide with plant hormone??
Thank you for watching! Fungicide + plant hormone po.
May I know what is the greenish liquid called ? Thank you in advance !
Thank you for watching! Those are liquid rooting hormone. The brand name is Siam Early Grow.
ruclips.net/video/Ie6BygULmBY/видео.html
May I know from I can buy such seeds?. I've been searching didn't come with any.
Hello, let me know where you’re from. If you’re from the Philippines I can recommend some. If you’re in the USA, you can try Mesa Garden. There are also sellers in Thai that ship worldwide.
pwede po bang sa water lang po sya ibabad? Ang ganda po ng content nyo complete yung info 💗
Thak you for watching! Mas safe na lagiyan ng fungicide since magstay sa loob ng matagal ‘yung pot. Pero, yes pwede kahit water lang, make sure lang na sterilize ‘yung soilmix mo and malinis mga seeds, at gagamitin mong pots. Salamat po sa feedback!
ruclips.net/video/Ie6BygULmBY/видео.html
Hi! Gano katagal po para mag produce ng seeds ang cactus? And pwede po ba sya sa greenhouse if nagpapatubo palang ng seeds?
Thank you so much for watching! 🙂 It depends po sa maturation ng cactus, kapag nag-flower sila it means na mature na sila. Some cactus requires hand pollination such as Astrophytum and Gymnocalycium. Others like Frailea can produce seeds without hand pollination. For pollination, may video po ako paano ko hinagawa ‘yun. Yes, pwede po.
Hello pwede po kaya ito sa gymno?
Thank you for watching and sorry for the late reply! Yes, you can do this with any cactus seeds.
Hi What are the chances off sending me seeds to Cape Town, South Africa please? The same like you grew,
Hello, sorry. I don't ship seeds overseas.
Where can I buy all of the things you used? Soil mix and fungicide
Thank you for watching! You can buy them on your local garden store or on online (Lazada and Shopee).
