What on earth is a Craggpinum?

Take my advice with a pinch of salt since I don't know what you're growing, but indoors they would appreciate just a little water over winter rather than a complete drought for four months or so.

They look dead to me. :(

S&B - dont know myself but thats what it said on the seed packet?? ( probably some italian hybrid...)they are astro's of some kind, anyway, who cares, they are ALIVE with roots(joyce) If i can get them through to the spring, then in, say 9 months time I'll post another pic.
So, basically give them a little water like you would any other cactus srrdling?

A. capricorne v crassispinum?

S&B - Thanks for the proper I.D. I just mis-read the description (dodgy handwriting...that's my story and I'm sticking to it:), feel a bit silly now!
Just seen some images of adult versions and looking forward to achieving such status.
Cheers!

I don't like the look of those seedlings. The picture isn't very clear but they should be at least a bit greeny grey. Maybe they are scorched, maybe they are dead.

Condemned without a fair trial, surely not!
Remember these plants in their natural habitat endure more telling conditions, sustained periods of little to no precipitation, even as seedlings/juviniles. They have not been subjected to anything more or less in their current environment. Perhaps I am at an advantage with having a magnifying glass and not poor focus photos. If there is no visible improvement within a 2 month period then I may concede defeat, but right now my faith remains resolute.
The phoenix shall arise from the flames....:)
