To sow seeds - Fill seed tray with potting mix. Water thoroughly using a fine rose then allow to drain for several hours. Succulent seeds are very small so just press them into the moist potting mix. Cover the tray with glass or a clear polythene bag to retain moisture, keep in a warm place but out of direct sunlight. Pot on seedlings when large enough to handle.
To pot seedlings - Fill the pot or seed tray with potting mix and level off. Prick off seedlings into holes. Gently firm the potting mix, add a little more if necessary and water in.
Cuttings - Rooted cuttings should be potted on into individual pots or containers, taking care with fragile roots. For larger cuttings half fill a pot, place the plant in position and fill around the roots with potting mix. Gently firm mix and water well.
Re-potting is best advised during the growing season. Water the plant and allow to drain before removing carefully from the pot using folded paper to protect your hands against spikes. Put a layer of potting mix in the new pot and sit the plant on it. Fill the rest of the pot with potting mix, firming lightly around the root ball. Do not water for a few days to prevent rotting of damaged roots.
Do not over-water. Water less frequently in autumn and not at all in winter unless shrivelling is observed. From late spring onwards, water regularly according to weather conditions and the plant variety.
Keep cacti and succulents in light, airy conditions in temperatures above 5°C (40°F). Place in south facing positions for maximum sunlight.
