Growing Cactus From Seed (ONE YEAR Time Lapse)

A whole year time-lapse of growing a cactus plant from a seed. A cactus seed was chosen randomly from a mix varieties pack. It only took about 10 days from planting to see a cactus seedling came up and 15 more days to develop the first batch of spikes. However, it was slow after that, take over a year for the cactus to be about 3 inches diameter.

I like the random mushrooms fruiting at around 0:19 - they're some species of Coprinus :)

It's interesting how it seems to grow very slow at first, then it speeds up in waves, then it really expands on the last month or so. Kinda different from other plants where vegetative growth is front loaded

Wow! Thank you for the cactus growth video.

Wow! Excellent! I'd love to see some behind the scenes videos, how do you do this? Cameras, lighting, timing, soil and fertilizers, lights on 24/7 or off at night? And more. Would be very interesting to know! Thanks for sharing your great work!

😮 I got this same very pack of seeds. Never grown a cactus before because I trip on air. Cactus is a threat to my life but I snatched the packet at ace hardware anyways.

I have a hard time growing cactuses. I'm experimenting with dragon fruit seeds now.

You should do a succulent time-lapse growing from a spare Leaf that's been shed. Because, if you pick up a little piece of cactus Leaf off the ground, you can plant it and it will grow into a new plant

Very cool, might be a hedgehog cactus according to the plant identification app I used

What light do you use for plants and how many watts?

The soil level stays the same, dynamic with watering of course, but where does all the _material_ come from? Plant a fast growing vine-like plant (with the heart-shaped leaves?) and they'll grow hundreds of feet long....but again, where did all that plant material come from? The soil doesn't go down! Yes, most of it is water weight, but still, all that how is the soil the same level? Real mystery, even though I know it's an optical illusion and that it MUST come from the soil. STILL!!??
