I'm really interested in growing succulents from seeds but struggling to find reliable sources for succulent seeds in Canada. I've looked at a few websites, but many seem shady or like scams. Can anyone recommend trustworthy sites or listings where I can buy succulent seeds in Canada? Thanks in advance!

So, I found some old supposed succulent seeds from AliExpress that I really need to try out! They’re like ten years old, but should I go for it? Also, if you get succulents to flower, you can use a paintbrush to pollinate them! It’s a fun way to make your own seeds if you have a couple flowering at the same time!
Etsy can be a great place for succulent seeds! I’ve ordered from a couple of shops there with good experiences. One I've tried is [JennyCraftsStudio](https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/JennyCraftsStudio); they have decent reviews, but their selection might be low right now due to the season. Another shop I liked is [TheCactusKingdom](https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/TheCactusKingdom). I have a Laui succulent growing from their seeds! They’ve scaled down their Etsy store lately but might have more on their website, so it’s worth checking periodically.
I second JennyCraftsStudio, I got some mesemb seeds from them, and they turned out great!
I’ve had different succulents flower at different times and wasn’t sure if they’d make viable seeds. A mixed seed option sounds awesome for expanding the collection!
