Is indirect lighting required or can I place in front of a sunny window? Thank you.

[@echinocereusonline]

We would avoid direct light (over heating)

@@echinocereusonline And how long will I need to keep seed's covered before letting them get some air? And will I need to add more water or would occasional misting be ok? Is it ok to use a ready made cactus soil mix for this? I plan on sterilizing soil if I do use a pre-made cactus soil. Thank You for all of your help! :)

@@treyc_2566 we usually bring out the seeds in February under artifical lights, open the boxes around end of may. our best experience with soil is without any organic material bute depends on your culture condition

What if I dont have that kind of soil?
Any soil can do?

[@echinocereusonline]

Try to use finely sieved humus and loosening ingredients such as fine sand. Important is that soil should not clump together

What’s the best artificial light that you would recommend?

[@echinocereusonline]

we are still using old daylight fluorescent tubes. if we have to purchase new lights we would change to LED lights
