Sowing Astrophytum Cactus Seeds | Includes Method, Soil Mix, Propagator, Heat Mat

I just recorded the stages from Start to Finish of Sowing 10 packets of Astrophytum / Cactus Seeds today 04 May 2020.
I ordered my seeds and now my heat mat arrived today in the mail so I added it onto my propagator tray to make it heated.
I mix potting mix, sterilise in microwave, fill pots add seeds put into zip seal bags etc, hope it might help others who want to sow from seed.
PLEASE NOTE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A HEATED PROPAGATOR OR YOU DO NOT WISH TO BUY/USE ONE, YOU CAN STILL SUCCESSFULLY START OFF YOUR CACTUS SEEDS... AS LONG AS THE AIR/ROOM TEMPERATURE IS AT LEAST a minimum of 20°celsius or ideally higher then germination can occur...
So during the warmer spring and the summer approaching (in the UK) or as long as you have these temperatures available to you, where you are located across the world, you will be fine for sowing cactus seed.
The seeds do not need high light levels to germinate, they prefer lower light when very young/during germination stage.
Happy Growing.
