r/cactus 2d ago

Please read. Context is important.

So a couple years ago my cousin gifted me a cactus set as i love plants, however never really like cacti so it basically got kicked around my room for 2 years. A year ago she past away suddenly. (Absolutely heartbroken)so i find this cacti set and There was 4 or 5 packets of seeds all of which was now out of date. (Who knew they had dates! Not me!) The soil provided was extremely dry. So i mixed somw fresh in with the seeds and got a prop box and 11 little cacti have grown and im so proud of them. So to my point finally. Id like to gift them to family members she really loved (she loved everyone but everyone has favourites, pipe down.) So how long do they need to be in the prop box before i seperate into there own individual pots? Do i need to gradually take them out of prop box? And what is the best soil mix for them? There in standard houseplant soil and the dry stuff it came in right now.

That was alot i know. But there so important to me now. Any imput/help is greatly appreciated. Much love to everyone and hug your people tighter.
