Instructions on their web-site. At last paragraph.

Thanks, Cactusfreak. That gives me one idea for the growing medium.

Now, these are TINY seeds. How deep to plant? Do you "MIST" them with water until they get started or ??????

I looked at the soil in a green one at the local nursery and it looked more like coarse sand with some compost in it. Does anyone use another mixture for the soil?

Do you fertilize, and if so, how often and with what?

Well, I'm a bit hardline here, but perhaps suggest to your wife that for any projects which directions she THROWS AWAY she can do them herself w/out your help.

Throwing any instructions which come w/ a product is (pls. excuse me) absurd. Does she think you are a mind reader? If it were me, I'd contact the vendor & ask them to send me another set of the instructions & then make sure I got to the mail first.

Semps are pretty tough when they're established. They aren't particularly picky, as long as the soil is fast draining.

I've been using maybe 20 percent commercial succulent mix, and the rest equal amounts of perlite, gravel, and coarse builders sand.

But, I've also planted them in the native soil around the roots of my trees without any augmentation and they've done fine.

I don't water or fertilize any of my semps. But, I've only had them from the spring at the earliest. I don't think they need a lot of fertilizer- I don't plan on feeding them anytime soon.

really, i am sure that she did not throw the instructions away for spite or that she did not do it on purpose. i agree, i would contact the vendor and ask for another set of instructions. i am sure they would be happy to send you another one. thanks

another site with tip on pre-chilling
If you have to pre-chill it is going to be late in the season and your seedlings will need winter protection in a greenhouse or inside with a grow lamp.
You might want to just put the seeds in a cool garage over the winter and sow next spring.

If nothing else...just buy more seeds...LOL

I collected some seeds from two semps that bloomed this year. Check back with me next june to see how they've done :)

This is an old thread. But to answer the question on how deep to plant, don't plant them deep. Dust them on top of the soil and keep moist/misted till germination, which can take a long while! Don't give up on these, they will germinate just when you want to through the tray away and start over!!!
