Today I sowed my first Sclerocactus seed. I'd ordered some S. whipplei (SB472; Navajo Co, Az) and S. parviflorus (SB592; Torrey) seed without realizing they allegedly are very difficult to grow from seed.
I'm following Steven Brack's basic germination tips and his detailed instructions for Pediocactus, Sclerocactus and Toumeya. The seed are grown in a cold house and hopefully the freezing/thawing cycles in Denmark are sufficient for it to germinate.
