Cacti & Succulents

Succulents for a newbie??

10 years ago

Succulents are one thing I have very little experience with. I'd like to try my hand at growing succulents from seed.

Can any of you recommend some succulents to grow from seed?? :)

I've done Agaves, Aeoniums, Echeverias, and Aloes. They are not super-difficult but they are slow to become something bigger than the size of a grain of rice. Months and months. You can be babying them for a long time. Growing from offsets, or in the case of Crassulas, leaves, is a lot faster and easier.
