Khalid sb these are different cultivars of astrophytum myriostigma, yes those are seeds, sow them in a mixture of 2 parts sand and 1 parts manure finely sifted with a sieve and keep them moist by putting the container in a tightly sealed polythene bag.

correct, and place the container in a shady place, it will take 1-2 weeks to sprout depending on the temperature
