# Stalled growth? I've been growing some cactus seeds but they haven't…

_Posted by Amateur plant mama on 2026-09-03_

Stalled growth? I've been growing some cactus seeds but they haven't grown in two months. They live in a sunny southern window. I water around them with a dropper. Any other ideas as to what I can do for them?

I've never grown a cactus from seed. But some of mine are very slow growers. What cactus are these?

I have no idea, the packet was "miscellaneous cactus"

They do tend to be very slow growing in most cultivars. Good luck!
