Gets some G.A.3 and dip the seeds,, I got 100 Peruvian torch and 100 san pedro seeds and didnt treat them so all seeds but two were a total loss,, these are the only two to germinate.. my two 11month old San Pedro'sView attachment 3541552

how did you go about germination?

I just used the tray off of a five gallon pot, and lined it with about two inches of cactus potting mix and just sprinkled in the seeds and lightly tamped them down with my hand, then I covered them with clear plastic with pin holes in it,, takes about two weeds till they start popping,, basically you make a small green house,, after they sprout, slowly give them more air until they are tough enough to be completely uncovered

Oh yeah dont forget the G.A.3. Betters your success rate
