At one point I couldn’t tell if the dogs barking were in the video or my neighbors. Morning sativa and coffee slaps hard with a new video drop! Thanks for doing what you do brotha!
The best advice I learned on this video is when you see something you like don't just buy one thinking they'll be there in the future. Buy them all lol.
I really enjoyed seeing Victor's collection! He is into so many kinds of cacti and succulents and that's awesome! Thanks for the wonderful tour Hunter🤘🙏
Im still a rookie. But we are in a age of information we are learning so much faster than before due to books and internet and friendliness of fellow growers
@@CactusQuest Yup just like you I've been collecting many of the soft succulents for years but this channel really opened my eyes to the beauty of cacti and euphorbia
Hey Victor, I just caught a golden barrel cactus I wanna make sure it has a good chance in surviving because I don’t do very well with plants. Can you give me the basics care of this cactus
2:25 Ants most likely moving eggs up to a warmer spot to incubate them. Sometimes they are harmless. I've lost a few plants to ants moving into a pot and messing up the roots. Nice collection of plants👍🙂🌵
I love to watch how is the plant care among the other cultivators. You always learn something new, like that hot nail method to get more growing points on your plant. Nice!
Cool that Victor mentioned Planta Seca! I have several plants in my collection from William (based out of Walnut Creek). If you haven't toured his greenhouse....you should reach out and see if he'd let you!
I'm in shock ! Hot nail, drill ..... Not sure I'm down with this behavior. Seems like a dirty thing to do to a little guy in your care . Crests and mutations are cool cause they are rare freaks not cause you tortured your plant into shape. Very odd. Great vid though !
@@CactusQuest it was the first time I had heard about this technique. After talking it through with a friend I realized I also " torture" my own cacti by chopping their heads of to propagate them. Thanks for being someone I can learn from ! Much love from Tasmania.
Great collection! Tell this dude to “hook you up” with the legendary Mr Baso. A Cactus Quest video in Thailand interviewing him would be amazing. You will need a translator though, he barely speaks english. Greetings from Mexico City. Next time you are in Mexico, go to “Wirikuta” in San Luis Potosí. And Sierra Gorda in Querétaro, homeland of Strombocactus and Lophophora Diffusa
I don't wanna spam or anything, but we will have some cactus pottery coming out in the next month on our channel,... some rare cultivars of common species, that only grow in one local, dressed in hand dug, hand built, hand made, hand fired pottery... peep game on these steeloz... LOL!
I’m looking for a organic grown aloe vera barbadensis miller, another thing is I’ve been doing some research and I’ve come to the factor that aloe Vera is because they were bred specifically for their gels in the 60s 70s and 80s they no longer produce seeds whatsoever. My big concern is I’d like to grow them from seed because otherwise you’re just getting clones, but the only possibility I can think of is tracking down the plants they used in order to make the hybrid and start there. I’m also looking for a clone though because the seed thing is kind of out of reach. Do you know anybody that is organically growing them? There’s a lot of sketchy places I could buy one but I’d like somebody that’s a little more trusted.
A had bought a plant marked variegated astrophytum and a few months later I realized I couldn’t find it and was questioning if I had even bought it. Turns out it had just turned back to green because it had been chemically induced! That explains why it was so cheap. It looked exactly like the pictures you showed where it was yellow at the creases.
Y'all I need help with soil mix for my soon to be raised garden bed in humid tropical FL weather. Is there anybody who has experience with this type of climate? I'd like to hear from people regardless. The garden bed is going to be about 16 inches tall and it's going to be 225 sq feet. We don't have access to large quantities of pumice, but we have lava rock, gritty sand, gravel, and peat moss.Watering would not be an issue for me. Thoughts? It's mostly going to have cacti and agaves. Thanks in advance!
You need somthing that will help with absorption and deainage, pumice works great for me. Regular lava rock doesn’t absorb. Coco coir will kind of do the same. Gritty sand stays wet too long for me.
How funny I also started getting into succulents recently because I thought the same thing that’s a trippy plant I’m gonna buy it. Also I ran into this before trying to find a recipe for my soil mix currently 1 of my succulents is drying idk why help please
My grandmother always says... "Do not touch the pants. They don't like it." You squish and put always your fingers on the others people plants. It's not good to do that. Some cacti are realy sensible at that point. And not likely seen. A see much people on RU-vid they touch also often the plants but ... Think about wax layers and ugly spots can occur . So see it as a tip. Cheers
Great question - hot nail method basically means you get a nail red got with a torch and poke it into the growing meristem of a cactus, this damages it which usually causes caespitose like offsetting which is cool particularly in cacti that are usually solitary
couldn't believe I wasn't already subscribed to your channel! great videos, with some amazing information being shared and lots and lots of beautiful cacti and alike. thanks dude! :) heads up all the way from brazil
Вот это да-а-а! Отборные, великолепнейшие взрослые экземпляры редких и относительно редких кактусов и суккулентов! Красота неописуемая, я даже расстроилась, вот бы побывать в таком хозяйстве, хоть полюбоваться! А у нас с кактусами более чем скромно... Увы... Зато цены здоровущие. Спасибо за видео, вы дарите заинтересованным людям радость!
