Tephrocactus cacti have a very unique form. But they are so fragile that repotting this type of cactus is always a struggle. Special thanks to The Next Gardener for sending me everything that I need to repot my Tephrocactus cacti into their (hopefully) permanent pots.

Hey Ana, did you know you appeared in the top 20 of all the gardening channels on RU-vid? There was a video on it on this platform. Congrats!

@CactusCaffeine Год назад

What? Where do I see that?

@drezdogge 2 года назад

My tip is dry the Tephrocactus out before repotting, I mean let them really shrivel. They hold onto cladodes much better when very dry.

@zcoanmcoan1534 2 года назад

You know ana you should try to get yourself a good sized greenhouse. Saves lots of space time and work. It may be hot where you live but the plants wouldn't mind the heat at al if you use a shadecloth. Ive seen many people in California use greenhouses the temps can go as high as 140 and the plants love it! This is because in the desert the ground can get up to 120+ F which most cacti and succulents love. It also gives you a much better controlled environment this is why many large collectors use them. I think one day you'd get a greenhouse as you have thousands of plants. Also helps if you want to grow rare and hard to grow/find species. You can also have a large plant collection!

@desertplantsofavalon 2 года назад

FANTASTIC video Ana :-D and your Tephrocacti are BEAUTIFUL, and you were brave to repot these Tephro haha, I really LOVE Tephros and their unique and special shapes, I have a few Tephrocacti desperate to be re potted that I keep putting off repotting as their segments and glochids stick to me just by looking at them lol! and your Astrophytum is a STUNNER too, you have repotted them all so beautifully, and your new pots from 'The Next Gardener' are so gorgeous, thanks so much for sharing the awesome repottings with us, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and CAFFEINE and CACTUS POWER to Las Vegas for a super Sunday ahead XXXX

@CactusCaffeine 2 года назад

Haha. You are so correct in saying that the segments stick and fall just by looking at them! 😄🤣 That is so funny. I guess whichever way we repot these Tephrocactus, it is inevetable that pieces will fall off. I was able to make another pot full of Tephrocactus just from the segments that fell off while repotting. Thank you Lyn! 😊

@andersnrregren9087 2 года назад

I lost one segment cus i did not know but now i know not to bumb it, new to cactus but i found your channel and 3 others (daz,lyn,joe) i am realy happy you give some realy good info i was realy think about the tephro cactus if it was sick or rotting i did not the segment fall off so i treated it like normal but it was dry and new to my collection so top just fell off "no reson" so i got worryed but now i can relax knowing it just drop segments easy

@CactusCaffeine 2 года назад

In my experience, they drop when the cactus is very thirsty. So avoid keeping them shriveled for too long. 🙂

@liliromero4910 2 года назад

Too bad they don’t ship to Canada!

@andyroo3022 2 года назад

The new pots make your cactus look very nice. Your Tephrocactus are growing big.

@TheCommuted 2 года назад

Put it against a rock or cement foundation before you strike it and it will not shake.

@CactusCaffeine 2 года назад

Oh yeah! I should remember that for next time. Though I hope next time won’t require anymore pot breaking. 😉

@billgolightly7203 2 года назад

Nice video, Ana. As a suggestion, go to Lowe's or ? and get 3 or 4 different diameter wooden dowels about a foot long. You can go through the drain hole in the bottom and carefully push up the root ball. If it is being difficult, use a smaller rod size turned at an angel and work some of the roots loose, then push up with the largest rod size that will fit through the drain hole. Good luck!

@CactusCaffeine 2 года назад

Thank you for that suggestion Bill! I am certainly learning a lot from you and from other viewers as well. They will be helpful for my future repotting. Hope you got entertained with my clumsiness in this video. Lol 😆 😂

Hi Anna. I love your cacti. I’m learning a lot from you. I live in Ontario, CANADA. I have a few succulent collection that I started during Covid. And now because of your You tube channel, I bought 2 types of cacti from IKEA, just wondering if you can give me advice of how to take care of my 2 cacti during the winter months. Thank you 🌵

@newmanmansell760 2 года назад

Well🤔Tephrocacti are so difficult to repot because the spines grab onto everything and they break easily, so I guess if I were repotting them, I'd lose 4 or more pieces😫💢so, I guess you will lose about 4 pieces😩

@CactusCaffeine 2 года назад

I wish I only lost 4 pieces! 😭 But I ended up having another full pot of Tephrocactus cuttings. 😉

@drezdogge 2 года назад

I have maybe 10 species of Tephrocactus and every time it rains I have cuttings to give away lol

@CactusCaffeine 2 года назад

Lol! Rainy day giveaways!

@Cactimania 2 года назад

Excellent video, Ana 😊 Tephrocactus certainly aren’t the easiest to repot haha, but you didn’t lose as many segments as I thought you would. The one you sent me has done extremely well, grown 3 or 4 new segments on it. Thank you for sharing with us as always. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜☕️

@CactusCaffeine 2 года назад

Oh yeah, I remember I gave you the var. papyracanthus. I’m glad it’s doing well. The molinensis that you gave me finally rooted! It sat in the soil all winter and spring with no roots. It finally rooted in summer and now are growing new segments on top of each. 😊

@OrionStar1 2 года назад

@ellietobe 2 года назад

I love beautiful planters. My grandmother always had lovely planters for her houseplants. Since I have been growing succulents for quite a while I have missed using those lovely ceramic pots so a few weeks ago as I was transplanting some propagated succulents from small terracotta pots to larger pots I decided to use some ceramic pots. Oh, my! I have had to totally change how I water my succulents!! Those ceramic pots hold moisture soooo much longer! With the terracotta pots I can count on my succulents needing more water at definite intervals (depending upon humidity changes) but with the ceramic pots….oh my! I am still waiting for the soil to dry!! I used soil that drains very well. I added more perlite and pumice and yet those ceramic pots are still holding the moisture! I also grow some tropical plants and they love the ceramic pots but they need moist soil. My poor succulents are still sitting in damp soil after ten days! I did not even water them until water came out the bottom! One of the planters is a ceramic “cactus” pot that has a lot of surface area but it is still damp as well. I’m sure that our Caffeine lady knows this but to anyone who decides to switch their succulents to ceramic pots….water lightly!

@CactusCaffeine 2 года назад

That is so true. One has to be careful using ceramic pots or glazed pots. The soil has to be adjusted to have more grit and maybe skip on the top dressing if necessary. My cacti in glazed or ceramic pots get a different watering schedule than the rest In terracotta pots. Good luck on yours. 👍🏼🙂

@jodivanmeter6345 Год назад

I have had this plant for about 10 yrs now , and mine hs never bloomed. I think if you just look at it wrong they drop segments. lol

@jodivanmeter6345 Год назад

The paper spine cactus.

@CactusCaffeine Год назад

Hahaha! That is funny but I feel the same way. 😂

@unknownt5391 2 месяца назад

I have the paper spine cactus and for the life of me don’t know how to water this. I’ve killed three cactus so far so I’m scared. It has wrinkles so I can’t tell if it’s dehydrated or not. Help! I love this plant. I live in California.

@kimmy6304 5 месяцев назад

I struggle so hard with growing these tall. My current limit is a tower of 5 segments max, cause then either the wind or my handling, watering or repotting them knocks the top segments off. Still, gorgeous plants and so fun to watch them take shape as they grow!

Thanks Anna for sharing those difficult ones to repot. I do have the 2 specimens in my collection and the paper spine ones keep falling apart on me such miserable plants to deal with.

@morrisparkintheozarks6831 2 года назад

🤣Had to laugh at this one!!! You look at these too hard and they fall to pieces!!! Just knocked off a piece of my inermis the same size while moving my Euphorbia mammilaris variagata!! Ah yes... the master key!!! Hahaha!! Hey if you have an old bread knife with a rounded tip, you can run it around the inside edge slowly and maybe losen it up from the pot. You still have some very nice plants!!! Love the green pots!!! That's quite an Astrophytum!!! A real beauty!!! Thanks for sharing Ana!!! They all look great in their new pots!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, out to Las Vegas, have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌💖🌵🌷🌳🌻🌴🌺🌿🏵🌲😃👍

@CactusCaffeine 2 года назад

Yes, I used the master key 🔑! And you are correct at saying that simply staring at them makes them fall. Lol 😂 Thanks for the tip on the bread knife. I will use that next time. For these Tephrocactus, the segments were on the way so I did not have enough room to wiggle any tools in the pot. I guess, whichever way I do it, losing some pieces is inevitable. 😄 Thanks Clyde!

@CactusCaffeine 2 года назад

Oh yeah. The Mammilaria fragilis is also very delicate and easily breaks. But then it easily roots, too. 😉

@marylougarza7476 2 года назад

Hi Ana Great job with repotting those beautiful plants👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I was wondering what do you do with the old soil that your cactus were in?🤔

@CactusCaffeine 2 года назад

If it’s my soil, I definitely reuse them. I also reuse nursery soil if they are clean (no pests). I expose them to sun for about a week (to disinfect) then I mix them with new soil and add worm casting.

@carmensantiago6711 Год назад

Great repotting! 👏👍🌵💚🏜️

@newmanmansell760 2 года назад

@pooh2348 2 года назад

As always a very informative video. I started this journey with just succulents but after following your videos on cacti I am becoming more of a cactus fan and since our weather is similar nearly all of your recommendations are applicable. Also cacti, s you have found out, are easier to grow in our hot weather. My echeverias etc struggle in the hot summer months.

@CactusCaffeine 2 года назад

Haha. Same here! I love how Echeveria looks but I can’t keep them alive for long.

@Iluvcollecting 2 года назад

Aren’t you suppose to water in the evening? I hear they open up in the evening to absorb water but shut down in the day , especially like a lot of plants when the temps reach a hundred or more.

@CactusCaffeine 2 года назад

Yes, I usually water at night during summer. But for the sake of showing the process in video, I watered them at daylight still. 😉

@jamesharbold3342 2 года назад

I have eight of these beauties. I only bought one but I keep breaking them. Lol. I noticed that they are more fragile when thirsty.

I saw this and stopped right in the middle of watching the video to repot my paper spine and my pine cone cacti! Mine look terrible I don’t think they were getting enough water actually because they had almost no growth! Yours are beautiful!

@CactusCaffeine 2 года назад

Mine don’t grow when the weather is cool. Growth spurt and rooting all happens in the summer. Maybe give yours a little more sunlight? How did your repotting go?

@snoywntr2 2 года назад

@@CactusCaffeine it went well I only broke off one segment but mine wasn’t anything like as big as yours. I used a better soil mix this time though so hopefully that helps it to grow. It’s been in full sun all summer so I may have to wait for good growth until next year

@r.b.7996 Год назад

Haha, I laughed so hard when you were smashing the terrakota with the hammer and the segment of the cactus broke off even so. 😀
