Morning temperatures are in the 60s (F) and at night it drops down to the low 40s (F). It is now time to make my annual move of my cactus plants from outside, into my small greenhouse and some in my garage.

Yes, its that time!!! Oh what we do for our plants!!! I usually start prepping in September. Wood cut and split. Everything moved in. And if our temps drop too bad, like polar vortex below zero, I will pad the windows and bring in the delicates . Hope we dont go that low this year!!! Looks like you are prepared!! And your plants will love you!!! Thanks for sharing Ana!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks ,have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🌸🌹🪴🌻🌿🌾🌳💐🌴🍀🌱😃👍

Talk about dedication, I just give mine a pep talk in the winter and they do fine 😂. Thank you for sharing

@CactusCaffeine 9 месяцев назад

Haha. Tell me what you say to them. I still have a lot left outside that could use some cheering up. 😊

@ZiggySearchfieldCactus 9 месяцев назад

Well sorted Ana 🙂 Too late here, snow has arrived this morning but everything is ok 😊 Hope you have a lovely weekend 😊😊🌵🌵

@CactusCaffeine 9 месяцев назад

Keep yourself and your plants warm, Ziggy!

@walterblanc9708 9 месяцев назад

I live in Malaysia. Its now Early December so quite near mid-winter. My Cacti actually seem to be most prolific in the winter, more flowers more growth! Steep learning curve, the Temperature is about the same all year.

@liliromero4910 9 месяцев назад

Another lovely video. My cacti and aloes are all inside now. Even my Manfred since I am in Canada.

@manuelromero4408 9 месяцев назад

Nice video on greenhouse. I moved my cacti and dragon fruit plants into the house. Last year plants died in garage because weather got too cold last week of winter in New York City.

@CactusCaffeine 9 месяцев назад

Oh, I wish your winter will not be too cold this time. But at least indoors you have peace of mind that your plants won’t freeze this time. ☺️ Good luck!

@morningstar8187 9 месяцев назад

Part of me is beginning to hate columnar cacti precisely because of how fast they grow and how quickly they become difficult to manage. I wish I lived somewhere warm where I could grow them outside all year round. My San Pedros are a nightmare. They just won’t stop growing. 😭

@CactusCaffeine 9 месяцев назад

That for me is a good problem to have. 😉 👍🏼 It is like me with my opuntias. But you can propagate faster, give some to friends or even sell the cuttings. Many people are interested to get a hold of San Pedro cuttings. Planted ones can be very expensive here.

@Cactimania 9 месяцев назад

Awesome video, Ana 😊 Hopefully all your plants make it through your winter there, been pretty cold here lately. Thank you for sharing with us as always. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜☕

@jessiealonzo2660 9 месяцев назад

Wow Ana you have many many many cacti's and aloes!!! You need a bigger green house. Anyways great video!

@CactusCaffeine 9 месяцев назад

I wish for a bigger greenhouse but I need a larger backyard first.😉 Thanks for watching!

@MsJaggy 9 месяцев назад

I'm in Wisconsin, so all of my cacti have to come inside. They are currently in my basement under a T5 light, but I don't like the setup. I'll be moving all of them into a backroom of my house with better grow lights tomorrow. I have a lot of seedlings that are very slowly growing too. I need to make my backroom a dedicated plant room instead of the room where I put things to forget about them.

@billgolightly7203 9 месяцев назад

You have done a great job balancing your collection with the space available to overwinter them. I know that there have been some failures, but it all looks good to me.

@CactusCaffeine 9 месяцев назад

Hi Bill!! How’s your indoor setup? My plants actually grow faster under grow lights in my garage. They like the temperature in there right now. Constantly in the 50’s..

@billgolightly7203 9 месяцев назад

I am around 35 to 45° at night and 60 to 70° days outdoors. Generally cold here is in Jan and Feb. My last water was mid October, and I have the lights turned down to about 10.5 DLI for 8 hours. My summer days are 22.9 DLI for 11 hours. Basically, I measure the amount of plant seen light for a second X the length of time the light is on in hours to get the daily average. That figure is the DLI (Daily Light Integral). All of this is interesting to work with, and I have had several discussions with Cactus Joe about DLI. Are you familiar with the system?

@1ilgrillo 8 месяцев назад

I always love your videos, Ana. When do you cut back on the watering, Ana.. Hope you amd you viewers hada wonderful Christmas. .

@CactusCaffeine 8 месяцев назад

I started to cut back watering when our temperatures were constantly in the 60’s and below.

@sarahzuber8219 8 месяцев назад

As a fellow desert dweller, I really appreciate your videos. This is my 1st winter w/ my succulent collection. In Phx, Az we are still around low 40’s. I have moved my baby cacti, and cuttings inside. I am keeping tract of the night temps. When do I need to start being concerned about winter protection for my outside plants? My little patio is in complete shade all day as it is North facing and the winter sun has moved more South. Behind my apartment building. I do have 1 huge potted Aloe. Cover that with/ burlap? Styrofoam cups on the tips of my Silver Torch cactus? I did keep my sun shade cloth up as I heard it helps keep out the frost a little.

@CactusCaffeine 8 месяцев назад

I believe winter in Phoenix is not as cold as our winter here in Las Vegas. Our winter temperatures can go down in the high 20°F with occasional snow. I would only be concerned if your temperature is consistently below 40°F for several weeks. Otherwise, I think they would be OK by just throwing a burlap over them when you get near freezing temperatures. But this only applies if you have the desert type of cacti. 🙂🌵 Good luck and enjoy the hobby!

@cactusjoe 9 месяцев назад

Great video, Ana, very informative and interesting, thanks for sharing! How long do you have to use the greenhouse and garage for? When does your growing season start up again? Hope you are having a wonderful week ahead!

@CactusCaffeine 9 месяцев назад

In the previous years, I started taking my plants outside again around March. Our coldest month is January and early February. That’s when we usually experience light snow though it passes quick. 🙂

@cactusjoe 9 месяцев назад

@@CactusCaffeine ok, thanks Ana, here in southern Germany January and february too are the coldest months. But my dormancy period unfortunately starts already in late Oct/early Nov amd usually last until mid/late March. Freezing temps we can still get way into April. Enjoy your weekend ahead, take care and best wishes! Season's Greetings and a Merry Christmas to you and your family, Ana!

@violamanges2966 9 месяцев назад

Oh no! I have 5 T-Rex aloes outside it’s about 40 degrees at night. I didn’t know I had to move them indoors

@CactusCaffeine 8 месяцев назад

Many aloes can take the cold. I would only protect them during near freezing temperatures. I’m not familiar with the care of the T-Rex aloe, though. Good luck! 😊

@annasalazar6227 9 месяцев назад

Hi Ana, do the growing lights that you have in the garage provide some heat to the plants?

@CactusCaffeine 9 месяцев назад

No they don’t. These grow lights that I have set up give off very little heat. The heat is very minimal compared to the size of my garage. Maybe if these grow lights were inside a tent then the light heat would make a difference. 😊

@josiemojica3674 9 месяцев назад

I don’t have a greenhouse. I’m in north Texas and temps have been fluctuating. Most of my small collection are indoors now. The larger specimens are still outside I just cover with blanket if needed. Is it bad to bring my small ones inside for winter? They’re by a window so they get great light and our indoor temp is usually mid 60s F.

@CactusCaffeine 9 месяцев назад

Bringing them indoors is not bad. It is necessary if you get very cold winters. Just make sure they still experience the colder temperatures so they can go semi-dormant at least, it helps them flower better in spring. You may need to give them a sip of water if you see them shriveling up too much. At 60’s they may not go fully dormant.

@sweetsoulrevue4547 9 месяцев назад

Hi ana. Just recently saw your video, subscribed! Coz i know you can advice me and your a filipino.. 😊... Ana suculent mga plants ko. Bago lang ako nag cactus. I have 2 cactus bough recently. Been almost 1 week and hindi ko siya dindiligan kasi alam ko dormant time nila sa winter. Nasa Spain ako..degrees dito pumapalo lalo na pag gabi, 4°-10° degrees.. ok lang ba ilalabas ko ang cactus? Pag gabi kasi mas malamig so pinapasok ko siya.. pag umaga linalabas ko.. di pa naman nag negartive degrees dito.. napansin ko lang din may mga konting holes ako nakikita sa cactus.. sign ba yun sa dormancy? 1st time ko po kasi.. Salamat po ..hope you can advice me

@CactusCaffeine 9 месяцев назад

Hello and Salamat po for subscribing. 4 to 10°C is still ok for most desert type cactus. It depends on what type of cactus you have and if they are already mature. You can send me some pictures in my FB messenger or in Instagram. 😉

@sweetsoulrevue4547 9 месяцев назад

@@CactusCaffeine pwede hingi ng insta or fb messwnger? Thanks so much.. and one thing.. may suculents ka rin ba? 🙃
