Garden Republic cactus seed starter kit

Cacti take a minute to grow, but these prickly plants can be well worth your time and effort! Garden Republic’s Cactus Seed Starter Kit includes four soil discs, pruning shears, four burlap grow bags, four plant markers, a wooden gift box that can be used as a planter, and four packs of non-GMO seeds—you’ll receive two succulent variety packs and two cacti variety packs! To improve your chances of successful germination, pre-soak the seeds a day before you plant them. With cacti and succulents, you’ll especially want to give your seedlings ample sunlight to encourage growth—in fact, it’s ideal to leave your planter outdoors to give it maximum brightness! When growing succulents and cacti from seed, patience is key because they’re notoriously slow growers.
