# So I’ve grown some succulents from seed—more by luck than anything…

_Geplaatst door Penny L op 2023-07-03_

So I’ve grown some succulents from seed—more by luck than anything else. The cactus and lythops seeds I planted at the same time refused to come out. I followed the instructions carefully, but I think perhaps I shouldn’t have covered them because they grew mold even though I wiped away the condensation on the plant domes. Does anyone have any insights? Thanks ahead of time! 🙏🏼

I grow a lot of dragon fruit from seed (cactus). And I know they are very slow growers and like moist, not wet, soil as they are young. So I would water a little bit more. Also they do like the greenhouse dome. It keeps their soil moist. But with the dome if it is just around them try not to overwater.

Thank you! I’m going to try again!
