A lazy way to grow cactus from seed | Episode 1: How I sow cactus seeds

Everyone has their own way of sowing cactus seeds. Here's how I do it. Is it the best way? Absolutely not. Is there a chance that something will go wrong? Yes and it has! Fundamentally, I'm very lazy so I don't do any sanitizing. Has this caused problems? Very possibly! But this keeps the barrier of entry low and it gels with the way that I am. Better to grow some and lose some than not grow any at all!
