What is the suitable temperature for sowing succulent seeds?

The sowing temperature for succulent plants

The success rate of sowing succulent plants actually depends on the temperature at the time of sowing, not the month or season when you sow.

Many flower lovers rush to sow as soon as they buy succulent seeds. If the seeds do not sprout within a month after being scattered, they give up, without considering the sowing temperature at all. Some people sow Crassulaceae seeds when the temperature is over 30 degrees, while others continue sowing Crassulaceae seeds even when the temperature has reached 15°C. Sowing at an unsuitable temperature often results in a low germination rate or no germination at all.

In the right season and at the right temperature, choose the right seeds to sow, and follow the laws of nature. For example, in the scorching summer, if your hands are itching to do something, you can absolutely sow cactus seeds. In the long, severe winter, with heating in northern homes, Conophytum and Lithops are both good choices.

You can refer to this temperature when choosing succulent seeds:

The best sowing temperature for Sedum-type succulent seeds is 20°C;

The best sowing temperature for Lithops-type succulent seeds is 15°C~20°C;

The best sowing temperature for Conophytum-type succulent seeds is 15°C;

The best sowing temperature for Cactaceae succulent seeds is above 30°C.

The sowing temperature for succulent plants mentioned here needs to be a sustained temperature, and you should not sow when the temperature changes drastically. Temperature is not an absolute value; it is an average reference value for the day. It is not necessarily impossible to germinate if the temperature is a bit higher or lower, but this is the optimal germination temperature recognized by everyone after practice, and it is provided here for your reference only.
