Customer Testimonial
“Being completely new to cactuses, I welcomed this purpose-built Cactus Culture seedling incubator for starting my first San Pedro and Peruviana. Following the instructions closely, I waited 14 days until some little green heads started appearing.
I’m no expert, but this incubating humidicrib seems well-designed. It is easy to use, with a raised clear plastic over-hood, that gives ample room for the early growing months. Within the base container is a “basket” that suspends the soil-bed a little above the bottom tray. Any excess water therefore drains from the soil but stays within the chamber, keeping things nice and humid. I started the seeds in a cooler period than anticipated, which is why they might have taken a little longer to break out.
As I write this only four have appeared, but I expect more to follow soon. If you’re new to cactuses, I highly recommend you give this product a try. I’ll certainly use it again, and again.”
