almost two weeks after planting (13.03.07) most of the succulents have started to grow. while the lithops (lithops coleorum, fransisci C 140, karasmontana, lesliei v. mariae C141, optica ‘maculate’, schwantesii v. marthae H4886) and the pleiospilos bolusii sprouted within a week, the others started to sprout in the second week – cereus peruvianus quite early while the others (agave utahensis v. kaibabensis, cereus aethiops, opuntia phaeacantha DJF 970.18) just bareley showing roots.
the germination rate with the lithops, pleiospilos bolusii and the cereus peruvianus seems to be quite high (somewhere between 60-80%).
