Cactus seeds?

[littlefrog]

Anybody grow cactus from seed? I got inspired the other day and bought a bunch of little species.

Seems like Internet is filled with scammers (no, really?). Does anyone have a reliable vendor for cactus seed?

I bought some venus fly trap seeds. They grew into big cactus ...
All of the hot peppers seeds I bought were not even peppers.
I don't buy seeds except from established companies now.

I grow a few hundred a year. I have ordered from Mesa Garden (mainly Lithops, not cacti) a few years ago and found the seed accurately labelled and decent germination rates.

One tip, don't cover the seeds (many need light to germinate) and don't be in too much of a rush to pot them on.

If you are a Cactus and Succulent Society of America member you can buy seeds directly from them.
