Hi all, I am planning to order some Ariocarpus, Turbinicarpus, Discocactus seeds from Kakteen Piltz. What are your views on the germination rate? I heard their peer Koehres has deteriorated a lot in recent times but not sure about Piltz.
Cheers!

Re: Kakteen Piltz Germination Rate
Hi, I ordered seeds of 13 species/varieties from Piltz earlier this year (mostly Gymnocalycium and Copiapoa). Most of them germinated quite well, around 3-4 of them had low germination rates but something came up from all seed packs, they were also quite generous with the number of seeds.
From the genera you want to get I bought Discocactus horstii seeds, have 8 healthy looking seedlings growing now from 11 seeds I got
So overall positive, I just had to wait a bit for my order.

Growing mostly under LED lights, in northern latitudes. Especially interested in stem succulents and caudiciforms. Dreaming of my first greenhouse.
Re: Kakteen Piltz Germination Rate
Thanks a lot! This is very reassuring. Since the seeds are reasonably priced, I will order a bit more to get reasonable number of seedlings.
