Many cp are very easy to grow from seed, however, they usually take
longer to reach maturity than your typical garden plant/flower. Most are
happy on a media of 1:1 peat and sand, although there are definitely
exceptions. For a beginner, I'd suggest tropical Drosera and Pings, since
these don't need stratification. Good luck!

Happy growing,

Chris
