# So I started some Lithops, Baby Toes, Gibbaeum, Lapidaria seeds last…

_Posted by DanishGramma on 2025-02-02_

So I started some Lithops, Baby Toes, Gibbaeum, Lapidaria seeds last week. The ones closest to the zipper of the bag are all sprouted but the ones at the back of the bag barely have any yet. I’m thinking of switching them around but I don’t want to hurt the ones that are doing great 🤔 I might even take them out of the bag but I don’t know if it’s too soon. This is the part of growing seeds that I fret about. Any suggestions are welcome 🤗

What media do you use? I’ve never seen this before and just curious!!

Looks like Pon and sand?

#### DanishGramma replied on 2025-02-02

I’m using a mix of peat and gritty bonsai mix. The directions said to use sand to spread the seeds and I think I used a little too much. Hopefully it will wash away with time

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-02-02

You can grow them in straight sand. So they should be fine

I would just rotate the pot. The ones that are already sprouted have a leg up as it is. Rotating won't hurt their progress since they're on to chlorophyll production

Thank you 😊 that makes sense now

### Dave\_opuntiaface commented on 2025-04-23

How did this go?

### DanishGramma commented on 2025-04-24

Only two have sprouted so far
