The middle pod has a root extending down into the water now!  |

Going to end this soon - the left one is getting some type of orange mold, and I'd prefer to use this Sprout for other plants. I'll try to keep the middle cube/pod and migrate it to some other system.  |

I ended this and currently have the rockwool cubes (with the cacti) soaking in water with a bit of hydrogen peroxide. My hope is to clean them up and try repotting them, then give them away as gifts if they're still alive in a few months.
The bottoms of a few are turning brown and mushy, which is often a sign of overwatering. Who would have guessed?
Here's my self-survey:
Plant Grown: Mixed Cacti
Grow Method: AeroGarden Sprout
Time to Germinate: 15 days
Time to First Harvest: N/A
Time to Last Harvest: 132 days (since germination)
Plant Spacing: 6 per Sprout (200% usage)
Final Height: 2 inches
Would I grow these again? Not in an AeroGarden. It was an interesting experiment, but unlike succulents, they don't use enough water for the AG's method to work properly. The traditional method, or an ebb and flow hydroponic setup, would work much better.
Lessons Learned: The DIY rockwool cups work well, but without cover (or larger plants) you'll have rampant algae.
