Thank you, Miss Ana, for sharing your gorgeous collection once again! And now you're setting up another cactus section in your yard! You'll have to start in person tours soon. What a feast for the eyes!
Lol for in person tours! 😄 Everything will be virtual for now. 😉 Thank you for always watching and for sharing your thoughts in the comments. All the best, Eileeen!
Awesome update, Ana. Loving the blooms, especially on that Cleistocactus, fantastic. Good to see some of the ones from Edith & myself doing well 😊 The Jades look like they’re recovering well. Thank you for sharing with us as always, Ana. Have a wonderful day and weekend from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌸🌺🌼🏜☕️
I was not able to show the Copiapoa that you sent me. It went into a growth spurt! From the size of a quail egg, it is now a medium size chicken egg. 😄. I’m afraid to move it as it looks happy so I’m keeping it where it is, a bit hidden in view in this video.
Super enjoyed this video, Ana. Just got so busy at work but finally, off. 🥰 As always, looooove those blooms. I’ve seen a lot of my fave there. Just worried about the temps at this time there. Hope They will be all fine. Thanks for sharing! ❤️🌺🌸🌼🌵💚
Lovely update on your plants, enjoyed the tour...I also group pots together to make them fit better and also the light needs of each 😉👍🙂 I have got a little group of Echinopsis together though for now 😆 WOW WOW WOW that really tall Cleistocactus species at the end is stunning...those lighter pink flowers look like the flowers on my Cleistocactus Rat Tail cactus! But the stems as you say are really columnar so I know its not like mine (which is hanging) but the flowers look similar 😊 the pink and the purple pollen, but those darker pink flowers are beautiful on the other stem, so lovely to have a different coloured flowered cactus too in same pot...and amazing growth in a year, I think they would do fantastically in the ground too, will be great to see the fruits developing, I hope you can do an update on this beautiful cactus, thanks for showing this Ana👍🌟🌞🌟🌞🌟🌞🌟🌞😊🌵
I had that Cleistocactus in a hanging pot at first. But it grew columnar instead. 😄 The flowers having different colors were a surprise. The smaller ones are now also forming buds.
Your collection of cactus is so amazing!🥳🥳🥳 I love the way you adore your plants so much! Everything is so beautiful...I find myself 🤤🤤🤤 drooling over all of them! Have a wonderful weekend!🌞🌝🌞
woah! 41c is definitely summer in Canada. I think it only hits 36C in Canada and that's too hot for me! Love your videos and your cactuses are beautiful!
Hay, nakakainis ang summer dito. Hotter than the Philippines. Dito kasi hot and dry air. Less than 10% humidity everyday. Anyway, I know it’s rainy season there now so I hope you don’t get too much this year. Praying for less typhoons. 🙏🏼
This was a very entertaining video, Ana!🤩 I enjoyed a lot the tour around your backyard and talking about all the plants, seeing your non Cactaceae,and everything. The blooming ones were amazing🌺👏👏👏💕.Could I suggest you to try cutting the sunburned cacti (just one of them), those that you told that you think they're going to die? Maybe if you cut the vertical growth and give a low phosphorus and potasium fertilizer, they concentrate their strenght at the roots and growing various new stems or pups, not blooming... (It's just a thought I've had...)😁. Lots of love from Spain to Las Vegas!💞🌵☮️🌺🤗.
That is actually a brilliant idea. I’m not sure though how the roots look like (or if they have roots at all). 2 of them are cuttings. But thank you for this suggestion. I am considering this. 👍🏼😃
Only yhing i see your missing are mutant cacti. Like a eves needle crested, or blue candle mutants, and such. That type cactus are my favorits. Well i totaly enjoyed the tour, and your voice. My phlipina Jan is in the phillipeans still. Working on getting the cash up to bring her here. Thats why i enjoy your voice. Thought id just tell you. Cheers to to you.
I love those Hedgehog cactus! They aren't something easy to get here in OZ other than seed. I have never tried growing from seed so i am hesitant buying them. They are on my wish list.
I still follow your advice regarding the arrangement which depends on their light requirement (thank you for that, they are blooming), and also, YES! it is difficult to arrange them by genus specially if (we) or I kept on buying cacti that I don't have yet! Hahaha! Great collection, the flowers are stunning,
Anna your plants are beautiful!❤🌵 I live in a cold area Wisconsin although I have quite a collection. No where near yours but I have enough to take care of. Cactus are so great plants, so differnt you know? Thank-you for the video.
So nice Ana! I can't believe summer is just around the corner already. Have you counted how many cacti's you have yet?😁 I decided to how many I have to slow my roll and was surprised at how many I have and I'm scared for this summer 😅. I can install a shade but since I'm not in such intense heat like you I'm guessing I should be ok.
Same sis I put them under after flowering kasi ung top shelf ay flowering section ko haha. Try ko tlga by genus ang ayos pero kelangan ko ilipat lipat kc ung iba kelangan ilipat s ibabaw pra s bulaklak haha. Katuwa samin ngayon palang nagbubulaklak sayo fruit forming mode na. Wow ung cleistocactus ang bilis lumaki. Ganda ng rainbow giant 🤩🤩🤩 pati ung rainbow hedgehog gustong gusto ko un pero hndi pa ngflower sakin, ganda nung sayo kc pink na pink. Grabe sa racks dami tpos dami p s ground kainggit
Haha. Katherine mas marami ka kayang cactus kaysa sa akin. 😉 Yes, I put the flowering ones together on top. Not only will the sunlight help them open their flowers, the bees also come and pollinate them for me. 🌺🐝 I hope your Rainbow hedgehog flowers soon. Ang ganda ng flowers niya and they last for several days. 😃
Can you do an in depth care on your hawarthias? I am struggling with mine. Can’t seem to find a happy spot for them. I just put them outside under my covered awning after I watched this. I am in AZ so similar weather. Hot with blasts of heat! Lol!
This is a very good suggestion. Thank you. 😃 But in the meantime, I would like to share some tips that I do for your immediate needs. 😉 Be very gentle transitioning them in different locations. They do not take rapid big changes very well. But once they are adjusted, they will thrive. During our summer, my haworthias are in bright shade only. No direct sunlight as they will burn with our extreme heat. Once acclimated, I find them to be resilient to excessive heat. They will go dormant though. But they cannot withstand temperature in the 40’s and below.
Haha! I tried growing succulents but they don’t like our climate here. Summer is too hot and winter is too cold for them. But Euphorbias and Haworthias survive. 😉
@@CactusCaffeine wow, cant believe na you are pinay haha , minsan super init din dito at super lamig din frost naman kalaban if winter, We just move house too, yung ibang mga plants ko natunaw sa init nabigla sa new place
Hi! I have just discovered your channel and I am just overwhelmed by the wealth of beautiful plants and helpful information. Thank you so very much for sharing this with the world! It is amazing. I have a question about dormancy - I keep reading about summer dormancy vs. winter dormancy but it's confusing to try to separate all the plants that should go winter dormant and those that should go summer dormant. We are about to hit 118 degrees here (Phoenix) and most of the non-cactus plants will go dormant, so I won't feed them for a few months. What about the cacti? Do yours go dormant in the summer? Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge and beautiful collection!
Oh 118F is too hot. 🥵 Some of my cacti go dormant in summer when it is too hot and dry for a long time. They don’t grow or do anything. I try not to get their roots too wet because when dormant, their roots will take in very little water. If you give them too much water, they will rot. Good luck!
@@CactusCaffeine Thank you so much for the quick reply! Yes it's really awful when it gets that hot. I've moved all the potted cacti under a shade cloth and will monitor them closely. For all the poor cacti that are planted in the garden, they will have to tough it out yet again. Some of them like it - the fishhook barrels are flowering! But I definitely won't water a lot until it cools down. Thank you again!!
I have an aloe vera plant in a pot with ordinary soil only, but in your garden there are pebbles on top of the plants. Is it better Ana to mix pebbles and soil for aloe vera plants?
Aloe Vera is very hardy and a forgiving plant. It will take any soil as long as you do not water it often. 🙂 The rocks that I have are top dressing only. Kasi yung cactus soil na gamit ko is very light. When I water it, the soil floats and spills. So the top dressing keeps the soil down. Also for decoration. 😃
Lovely tour, thank you! I am just developing a keen interest in growing cactus. Question: when there is more than one bloom on a cactus, can you pollinate them to each other, or does it need to be pollinated from the blooms of a different plant of the same species?
Dear Ana : I don't pretend to be some cactus expert ..... However I am a plant enthusiast and at around 11:20 you showed the poor guy's you saved from the fake flowers.....I just wanted to say thank you for doing that....PS...I don't mean to offend anyone who happens to like those things.... it's just me...it messes with me for some reason..... anyways thanks.....PS PS ....How did you take them off?
The nurseries that I know of here in Vegas are just resellers. Many cacti and succulents here come from California. I don’t know of anyone that actually grows them here. But if you are in town, check Cactus Joe. Or you can go to any Star Nursery (they have many locations). I would also recommend that you check out the Ethel M chocolate factory Cactus Garden. 🙂
It would really be nice if you could also give the common name for the cacti. I've just started my little cacti garden. I've been given plants from friends but I don't really know their botanical names.
Thanks for the suggestion. I sometimes hesitate to give the common names because they usually differ for every country. But I’m glad you are getting into the hobby. Enjoy and cheers! 😊🌵☕️
Pots depends on preference. They will grow in whatever pot you like as long as given appropriate care. I chose terra pots because I needed something heavier to sustain the very high winds that we get here. Also plastic pots become brittle or even melt when exposed to the brutal sun that we get during summer. Also with terracotta, the soil will dry faster so less risk of root rot. On the downside, I have to water more often during the summer. 🙂
Hi Ana, can you tell me what system you use in your green house to tell you when the temperature is too cold? What manufacturer & model? I’m spending hours trying to find one that will alert you when the app is not open. All of them I’ve found do not alert you until you open the app in your phone. Thanks so much!
Oh mine just have a sensor and a display screen inside the house. It is not on wifi and does not send any alert. I discussed and showed the thermometer that I used in a video I made last winter. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QkWHqq28UXs.html
Oh, that is a very interesting cross, both have very different looking flowers! 😃 I wouldn’t even think about crossing them. Let me know how it goes. 👍🏼 And good luck!
By the way, I watched a video by Lyn showing her Cleistocactus samaipatanus and it is exactly the same as what I have. Thank you so much for giving me the ID during my live.
I found a rainbow hedgehog but it was not for a good price and it had one of those stupid plastic flowers jammed into it. You're right they are hard to find so i bought it even tho it was costly. Home Depot does this on ALL of their cactus. The stab each cactus with on of those idiotic pieces of plastic. I told them it damages the plants and they didn't care. But they are the only ones in my area who sells cactus. So each cactus I get are damaged AND they are PRICEY!.
