Unfortunately, A. ferrarii belongs to the species that are not so easy to grow from seed. But if you already have seedlings - congratulations and good luck.

Re: Austrocacti
In Germany we say "many roads lead to Rome". I usually start without treatment and use sulphuric acid or other aids if it was not successful before. In general I have more than ten seeds. Here on the picture are the first potted seedlings from last year's sowing. Half of them are still in ...
