I am retired and looking for a hobby. I love growing cacti and thought I would try cacti from seed. I have ordered from several commercial vegetable and annual flower seed company's but have not had much success. Does anyone know of places of people that sell cactus seed at a reasonable price. Any help would be appreciated. Neb

is a nice resource for several reasons, one of which is a 'rating' and discussions of reputable and problematic mailorder plant companies.

Have you tried Burpee? It takes a lot of patience to grow cacti from seed.

Cactus from seed takes a longggggggg time to grow, IIRC. (Or at least it did decades ago when I was a kid and tried it.) Are you sure you want to wait a few years for teeny plant when there are so many great ones you can buy at a reasonable price? Maybe you could do something else with cactus
-- grafting, perhaps?
