This plant had some full seed pods when I got it. I'm good with the extraction (dry, soak, dry, dry), decent with the potting (coir, perlite, vermiculite on top), but the 3-month mark is where I fail at seedlings. Let's see what happens cuz this would be a nice, niche win.

Pictured also is my first Gibbaeum dispar. Note how compact it turned - the base is pretty much a mini tree trunk.
