Hoodia gordonii
Seeds
These extremely rare succulent (not cacti)
seeds are very difficult to come by.
A packet of 10 seeds was
auctioned on eBay for $69.
I am offering a limited quantity of hoodia
gordonii seeds for sale now. There may be a slight delay in
posting your order as the demand will be
high.
This feedback came from a customer of mine.
He purchased 10 seeds and had 10 seedlings germinating. (I was
shocked, that was excellent)
About the quality of my hoodia gordonii
seeds.
When I
purchase my hoodia seeds I sort through all the seeds and cull
at least a third of the seeds out. I only send seeds I would be
happy of purchasing myself. Unfortunately the seeds that are
send to me are not always the quality I like to see. So maybe I
shouldn't be surprised that this customer had such a good
success, considering that I only send the best
seeds.
Hoodias have a reputation for being rather
difficult to grow. Apart from Hoodia alstonii all species
easily root from cuttings. Light requirements during growing
season - medium (only morning or afternoon sun) to high (full
sun during whole day). Minimum winter temperatures 15
degree/day, 10 degree/night.
Watering:
Winter -
keep completely dry
Spring/autumn - give little water
and allow soil to dry out after watering
Summer - normal watering (allow
soil to dry out after watering)
Tolerance
to cultivation - medium - generally reasonably
tolerant.
