Good luck Joe.
What do you use for your seeds?
Alfonso

What do you mean Alfonso?

Sorry,
What kind of soil, open bed, closed space, watering, fertilizer???
Alfonso

The soil is regular cactus soil mixed with perlite and the bed is closed until germination ends and i keep the soil wet and very little fertilizer.

Thank you. Have a good start with those Digis
Alfonso

Thanks Alfonso.

Joe,

I hope the two other seeds will also germinate... one day!
A friend had one seedling germinating 6 (!) months after the majority started their life in November last year.

They almost look normal at this stage :)

Great looking Joe,
They do look like any other cactus at this point, don't they? I've had some germination up to 2 or 3 years after initial germaination takes place. This summer I had 50 seeds of a Melocactus germinate after 3 came up last year. Don't give up! How many other seeds do you have up?
Dan

Joe:
Be careful with ID tags, do not confuse them with another Astrophytum. Any dude, ask to David Hunt. LOL.
Soon the tubercules will begun to grow and Digis will show it´s own personality, like this:

Some time ago, some albino seedlings appear in a container, but my grafting skill were too bad and I lost it. I think they will appear again whit backcrossings.
