@@danielleholmes3118 They don’t do well with freezing weather at all. If it drops below freezing for a few hours, that usually isn’t an issue. But if there’s a lot of snow and it’s below 35 or so for prolonged periods, this is definitely a problem
Hello Mallacht, love your videoes. hope you are well. will you show your garden again? Im sure that everything is evolving nicely., cheers from Denmark
@@jackofalltrades3378 I respectfully disagree. It’s a horticulture based channel. My job is to inform on horticulture based practices. It isn’t a music channel, or an entertainment channel. No need to be fancy. Thanks for watching!
@@Makeitliquidfast Actually I have very little free time, I have to make time for the things I love. One of those things is making high quality RU-vid videos like this one. It is also noteworthy that it is by far the most popular video, so people seem to like it.
I have those two exact products and I have been thinking about doing exactly this! I thought; "I want them both on there, They're both very fine powder.. can I just mix the two?" Thank you for posting this, and for saying what ratio you use! This will be my go-to method from here on out. Thanks again Mallacht!
@@JeagerTv We even make our own product now: Mallacht’s Rooting Powder. It is the highest concentration of IBA on the market and works fantastic. Here is a link: www.mallachtsplants.com/collections/horticultural-products/products/mallachts-rooting-powder-250g-of-1-iba
@@Alex-ff3qt Exactly the point my friend! They aren’t common sense to the beginner gardener. In fact most things people call “common sense” I would rephrase to “basic, acquired knowledge” - I agree that once something is demystified it does seem like common sense, difficult sometimes to remember how far we’ve come. So if these things seem like common sense to you: congrats! You probably aren’t a beginner by any means.
I have the fiskars flower shears and have a love-hate relationship with them, they fall into two pieces too often and there's no lock/safety/ don't fall apart button, any cures or yours behave properly?
Those gloves look promising, I picked up a mason jar grabber with x hinges and rubber grips that works great for picking up small to medium cuttings, but the tactile ability of a glove is promising and I saw in other comments that even a Cholla won't pierce them / us
good info but you should really drop the skits. pretty cringe and just waste of time. Probably gets skipped a lot so you're losing views. just my thoughts. Thanks for the info though
@@obryn It’s interesting that you say this my brother, not only because most comments say the opposite, but because quantifiably this is one of our most popular vids. Just look at the view count. Sorry you didn’t like it, it was merely a humble attempt to correct some very obvious beginner mistakes in a fun way.
Well Done! Speaking as an educator and a cactus noob (well we are all noobs if we have the right attitude…) you did an excellent job of highlighting common mistakes with humility and fun. Professors know that highlighting mistakes as “teachable moments” and emphasizing that we can always be learning and we are a community of learners you take on these subjects in a very engaging way. ✨💛🌵💛✨
Thanks my brother for the awesome videos I just went and bought some cuttings and seeds from your site, I hope to one day have some mature plants to play with cross hybridization!
Yes almost everything I grow outside is grown organically. I have other videos and tutorials on making compost, worm farming, etc. I’ve also published my organic topper mix many times on various social media. People generally know me as an organic grower.
@@freedomloveequality6593 Although I do use organic outside, I’ve been using synthetics for hydroponic cannabis for 18 years. I also went to school for horticulture. I once had an instructor (a PhD Botanist) put up microscope pics of synthetic NPK molecules as well as organic NPK molecules. He then said “Can you guys see the difference?” …crickets… Then he immediately said “Neither can plants!” The whole organic thing is kind of a scam imo. I know a guy who owns a cashew farm in Africa. His neighbors on all sides of him literally purchase “OMRI” organic stickers and put them on their avocados even though they are not organic. The hate on nutrient salts is unwarranted, and in a big part funded by the organic nutrient industry if you look into it. My 2 cents 😁
@@mallachtsplants myself I grow indoor cannabis with salts & have tried organics indoors but alas it's not the best suited for artificial indoor environments specially because of rate of growth & overall yield. Truth be told terpene levels in organic soil grown truely outshines salt grown hydroponic any day. I've done side by side comparisons. However outdoors in mother nature organics are the best, for mostly all plants unless you trying to cultivate fruit trees in pots then salt fertilizer may be of value. I've seen the damage salt fertilizer does to the soil & microbes & it's a no brainer. Organic growing is the highest path for growing plants there is no question. Like I said for indoors in artificial conditions then the artificial fertilizer has its place but still there are nuances that synthetics just cannot bring out
@@freedomloveequality6593 We'll have to agree to disagree here brother. As I said, I went to school for this and have been practicing horticulture for almost 20 years. If you read the story above about a PhD botanist saying how plants literally can't tell the difference, and you had an open mind, you would rethink your unwarranted assumptions a bit. But I get it, people go "Synthetic = bad" even though the entire organic industry is literally a scam. I even gave you a from the horse's mouth story on how people completely cheat the OMRI system, which is the main standard. I have taken advanced soil classes, and tested soil before and after using synthetics. As with all things it is about a balance. If you are using far too much, sure, it kills biology in the soil. But if you are moderate about it, it doesn't even kill worms, which are very sensitive to changes in their environment. I've seen it with my own eyes.
The areoles have the highest concentration of hormones as opposed to the skin. It's best to bury the cutting and have as many areoles buried as possible. For instance, Bruce's dragon will root much better if more areoles are buried. If you lay you cutting on its side it will root from the areoles first.
I helped my father build his store where he sold thousands of San Pedro. I’m continuing the knowledge. He just used a high sand or perlite mixture. Crushed the perlite down a lil and watered regularly and fed regularly. Higher inert media helps if you’re an over waterer.
lol! Just wanted to create some clarity as there are a ton of oddly held beliefs about PC. People ask me all the time “Is this peruvianus PC?” Or “Is this bridgesii PC” - People seem to think that any cultivar can be PC, which obviously doesn’t make sense because PC is itself a cultivar. So, it’s only the one clone, the same identical, overly distributed plant.
Your being so damn careful to not offend anyone. Which… offends me. You really think I’m so emotionally weak you can’t call me a noob? Call me a noob. Who the hell is actually that soft. Other than Biden supporters.
Hello. I have a Myrtillo GEO Monstrose, a Myrtillo Goemetrizas, an Altmans P.C", and an Altmans "T.P.M." Are those different from the one you are talking about in this video? If so is the care much different???
Are 'PC' all vegetative clones of one original plant? Could there be or are there multiple genetically different but maybe morphologically similar plants being traded or sold as 'PC'?
PC is a cultivar, so yes it is indeed a clone. There is only one PC. It merely stands for “Predominant Cultivar” so it is the one that has been propagated and spread around the most. By far the most common Trichocereus clone, and typically the only one found at big box stores like Depot, Lowe’s, Walmart, et.
@mallachtsplants Thanks for the answer! There's this concept of a cultivar-group in which members of a group are united by a distinct common trait. I wonder if that could be why people might call Landfill glorified PC. In recognition of similar morphological traits. Total speculation on my part. Just imagine selectively breeding PC seedlings that look like PC for multiple generations and referring to them all as belonging to a PC cultivar-group. More of a umbrella classification rather than a specific clone cultivar designation.
@@nico.salcedo Just to clarify once more, there is no “PC cultivar group” only “PC” the (overly) cloned cultivar. The whole Landfill thing started as a joke tbh, and a ton of noobs took it seriously. As far as I know, no one is breeding PC looking plants, there really isn’t that much control in Trichocereus breeding. Oftentimes 2 short spined T pachanoi are bred, and the offspring all have long spines. It’s not quite like breeding cannabis, or other flowering plants where the traits are more straight forward.
Can you help me and my boyfriend Id some "peruvianus" I bought at a nursery not saying it was a wrong id but peruvianus is kind complicated and we'd love a second opinion
So far as we approach the beginning of my 2nd year of cactus care - my youtubbie research conclusion is the advice on care covers most every extreme except watering. Good content. Stay safe. Thank you.
RIGHT? RIGHT? RIGHT? drinking Game... OVER/UNDER how many times this nut uses the filler word, 'RIGHT'? RIGHT RIGHT? RIGHT? RIGHT? Expert asking audience if what he sez is correct?? is no expert. RIGHT?
My cactus was looking yellow and didnt grow much until I added a bit of my urine to it (as suggested by the internet) and it doubled in size over 7 months and it is a dark luscious green. What is your thought on this? I mean my plants seem to thrive on it lol
lol I was another video of yours the other day but I could not remember the name of that actor at the time.... look for it, doppelgänger@@mallachtsplants
I was watching some other stuff on San Pedros (just freshening up on some basic knowledge) and your video cycled on via autoplay. I had it going in the background and it was nice, you should consider a podcast. Also, the way you included the reassurance that you didn't mean to offend anyone and everyone was new once was kinda funny to me that anyone would be offended or hurt by your oh so mild ribbing (meant in a nice way - Hey you got me starting doing it!!) Great channel, p.s happy new year from New Zealand
