Pilosocereus gounellei HU126 SEEDS

Cultivating Pilosocereus gounellei from seeds is an exciting venture into the world of unique and captivating cacti. Native to Brazil, this species, commonly known as "Xique-Xique," is characterized by its cylindrical stems covered in dense spines, and its spectacular nocturnal flowers.

To begin cultivation, select a well-draining cactus potting mix. Fill small pots or trays with the potting mix, leaving some space at the top for sowing the seeds.

Carefully place the Pilosocereus gounellei seeds on the surface of the soil, spacing them evenly apart. Gently press the seeds into the soil, ensuring they have good contact but avoiding burying them too deeply.

Water the soil lightly after sowing the seeds to settle them in place. Ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Place the pots or trays in a warm, bright location, such as a sunny windowsill or greenhouse.

Germination of Pilosocereus gounellei seeds may take several weeks to months, so patience is essential. Once the seedlings emerge, continue to provide them with ample sunlight and water, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

As the seedlings grow, they can be transplanted into larger pots filled with well-draining soil. Pilosocereus gounellei thrives in warm, arid conditions and prefers full sun.

With proper care and patience, Pilosocereus gounellei will reward you with its majestic presence and stunning flowers, making it a remarkable addition to any cactus collection or desert-themed garden.
