WOW JOE!!!! That's not a haul.... That's the motherload!!!! Holy xerophytes!!! And for those prices!!! That Euphorbia obesa cristata was a real score!!!! Love the spines on the trichocereus!!! Really wicked!!! Oh so many fantastic plants!!!! Eulychnia castenea spirals!!! Like the chunky one the best!!! All I can say isWHAT A DAY!!! what selection!!! Thanks for sharing Joe!!! Great stuff!!!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, out to Bavaria, Germany 🇩🇪 have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!!✌️💖🌵🍀🌻🌱🌾🥀🌿🌷💐🌴🌹🌳🪴🌸😃👍
MANY THANKS for your AWESOME comments, Clyde!! Really very happy that you enjoyed so many of these plants, indeed I was so lucky to pick these up, but as I said, it also sometimes pays to be early at these shows! Yeah you picked out my absolute favorites too, the crested E. obesa, the crazy spined Trichocereus chiloensis and the chunky Eulychnia sprialis, haha! And the best thing was indeed, that they are all taking relatively little space, as that is a real issue in my little greenhouse, lol! I would have absolutely loved to take some of the large, old plants on offer, but the only way I could expand is upwards, ...1st and 2nd floor on my greenhouse, haha! Sending you very best cactus greetings from Bavaria, Germany to Morris Park in the Ozarks, USA, hope you are having a super Sunday and enjoy your week ahead! Happy growing!!
@Cactus Joe If you would expand your greenhouse upwards, I think in a few years we would see you in a "skyscraper-greenhouse", haha! 😂😅😉 But I think there are way more "worse" "addictions" than collecting plants 🤔😉 Sadly, I know that at some point there is just no space left, so a skyscraping greenhouse would indeed be cool 😅 You're right, the old ones we saw in Part 1, for example the huge and probably very, very old P. leninghausii und P. magnifica/warasii were absolutely magnificient. Understandable that you would have liked to take them with you if you had enough space for them😬
Thank you very much George, really appreciate your lovely comments, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, much appreciated! Hope you have a brilliant weekend ahead, take care and happy growing!!
An absolutely amazing haul, Joe!!! WOW! You have some incredibly unique and beautiful cacti to add to your collection! I really enjoy your close-ups, they are so beautiful and show every tiny detail of your plants. This was a most interesting (and fun) video, but then again, I think that is what you're becoming known for! I cannot get over the price of the cacti that you got, even with the conversion to Canadian funds, they are a real steal! You must be over the moon to add such incredible beauties to your collection! Thanks for sharing, and hopefully you will share a video of some of the repots that you will do as I always find those very interesting and satisfying to watch. It's such a treat to see a new cacti in fresh mix and ready to start the growing season off! Take care Joe, and I'll look forward to your next video! 🌵💚🌵😊🌺🌞🌵
@Lady Lee thank you so much, I'm really very happy that you enjoyed the plant haul video and I loved your wonderful message, thanks for all your kind words, much appreciated! Yes the prices are not bad, that's mainly because it is a sort of collector-to-collector sale, i.e. no commercial sellers - and folks are simply happy to see their plants move into other good hands who will take care of their plants well! Thanks for your great suggestion, I will certainly record some repotting videos again in the near future. I am thrilled to hear that you are enjoying my videos, thanks for the feedback, and I will continue to do my best to present more hopefully interesting, useful and enjoyable topics going forward! Thanks for your support! Hope you are having a fantastic Friday and wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead, take care, best wishes and HAPPY GROWING of course!!🌵🙏💚🌸🌵😊🌞🌵
It is truly an amazing plant haul, you picked up some truly beautiful and unique cacti. You have an eye for picking beautiful specimens, well done. Thank you for having us over once more !!
Hey David! As always fantastic to read your wonderful feedback and thanks for your kind words, much appreciated! And I am so happy that you enjoyed the video and the plants I picked up from the sale, thank you, very happy that you liked them too! Thanks for joining me on the tour and hope to have you join on many more in the future! Have a fantastic Friday and an awesome weekend ahead my friend! Take care, best wishes and happy growing of course!
Hello Joe! What an outstanding video! I was waiting to see what you bought at the show. Wow, you got 100% winners! I was so happy to see you bought a couple of the Spiralis cacti. Those I really loved from the first video. Also that cactus that was the tallest and was around 15 years old has some super scary spines! I thoroughly enjoyed this video and thank you so much for sharing your awesome haul. I hope you have an excellent evening and a Fantastic Friday from Georgia, USA to Bavaria my friend! 🏜
Hello Jeff! Many thanks for your wonderful feedback, really appreciated as always, and so happy that you enjoyed the video! Haha, I was indeed myself so happy with the plants I managed to get! And yeah, those Eulychnia spiralis cacti are quite something, such weird forms! Normally I have seen them as straight columnar forms, but never before with these combinations of crested and columnar spiralling! Haha, also the Trichocereus chiloensis with it's indeed crazy scarry spines, I have now repotted it and am curious to see how it will do now, with a bit more "foot space", lol! Hope you are having a fantastic Friday too my friend, and also a wonderful weekend ahead, take care, cactus greetings from Bavaria, Germany to Georgia, USA and happy growing!!
Many thanks Marcha, glad you liked the plant haul! Thank you for watching and for your wonderful feedback! Greetings for a lovely weekend ahead, happy growing!!

Great video, Joe. Thanks for posting the link for the show and this follow-up. I must say that the prices were very reasonable, and there was no shipping cost involved.
Hey Bill! Thanks so much, and as always I'm really very happy that you enjoyed the video! I love your perspective on the costs, i.e. no shipping costs involved, so true haha! Great comments, thanks again and hope you're having a fantastic Friday and have an awesome weekend ahead, best wishes and happy growing!
Ух, какие, ух, какие! Эвлихния каштановидная кристата - это уникальный экземпляр, красота необыкновенная! А аэрокарпус я видела впервые, очень красив! И прочие диковинки у этого кактусовода в избытке. Спасибо ему за показ его чудесных растений, удачи ему и здоровья! А от меня - лайк и подписка.
Haha, yes indeed the Eulychnia castanea cristata was a very rare find that I was most happy about! That seller had a lot of rare and beautiful plants and the next time i see them again, i will pass on your comments and good wishes, thank you! Also a big thank you for liking and subscribing, a warm welcome to the channel and it's community! Happy growing!🙏👍🙌☺️🌵🌿🪴🌵🌼🌸🌺💚😎☀️🏜
Thanks so much Donna, glad you enjoyed the haul! Thanks for taking the time to watch and to comment, as always hugely appreciated! Enjoy your Sunday and also the week ahead, take care and happy growing of course!
Incredible haul of plants, Joe 😍 That obesa cristata is very special, never seen anything like it. Unbeatable prices as well. I need to come there and do my cactus and succulent shopping haha. Thank you for sharing with us as always my friend. Have a wonderful evening and weekend from Edith & myself and happy growing 👍🏻🌵☀️🌼🌺🏜
Thanks so much, Daz, really happy that you liked the plant haul - as always thanks so much for watching and for your awesome comments and support! Yeah, that E. obesa f. cristata was simply just a lucky strike, pure coincidence, and it just paid off being there very early, haha! Sending you and Edith very best cactus greetings from my little greenhouse, hope you are both having an awesome Sunday and enjoy the week ahead! Take care and happy growing of course!
Omg! I feel like I want to fly to Germany just to go shopping for cactus. 😮 Those are so hard to find here and if I do, they are super expensive. What a great haul, Joe. I’m really so jealous how those are readily available there at a great price.
THANK YOU, Ana!! Yes we are quite lucky here, that there are quite a lot of amateur cactus & other succulent plant growers and hobbyists here who grow lot's of seedlings and also propagate quite sucessfully - and there is a thriving community of hobby growers who also like to trade, swap and sell their plants among like-minded folks, so like passing on plants to other growers, so that they can see their plants be passed on to other "safe hands" so to speak. The local branches of the German Cactus Society are often quite active in that sense and also like to promote the hobby to new enthusiasts! Obviously, there is also quite a long history and tradition of cactus enthusiasts, horticulturalists and botanists in the country, which also helps! Thanks so much for watching and also for your awesome comments, hope you are having an awesome Sunday, and also have a great week ahead!
Hey Ana! Yep, my jaw dropped (secretly, haha) too when I managed to get that plant E. obesa cristata off the "all plants for 10 Euros" table, but then again, I know the seller very well and he needed space, and has specialised on cacti, so was quite happy I think to see it move to someone with (hopefully) good hands for it! Yeah, sometimes one just has to be lucky, but it also helps to be at these sales very early, to still find jewels like that! Hope you have a fantastic Friday and an awesome weekend ahead Ana, happy growing!
Fun video! That obesa crest is phenominal. Love that strombocactus communal pot, Astro tricostatum and Eulychnia too! Great haul, you did get some bargains too! You get some incedible plants in Germany!!!
Hi James! Thanks for watching and for your awesome feedback, appreciated!! I'm really happy that you enjoyed the plant sale tour, thanks for your kind words! It is indeed quite a vibrant and active community of cactus & succulent enthusiasts here, lot's of crazy cactus growers, haha! Sending you lot's of cactus greetings and hope you have a wonderful week ahead!!👍🙏😊🌵🌱🌵🌼🌺🏵💚😎
Happy to hear that you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and lot's of success, fun and happiness with your new hobby and plants! Have a wonderful day and happy growing!! 👍🙏😊🌵🌵🏵🌺🌼💚😎
Fabulous Joe😌🙏💖That Trichocereus chiloensis is a plant I've been looking for and you managed to buy one👍Your new Stenocactus are beauties! I enjoyed watching
Hi Newman, very happy that you enjoyed the plant haul! And I must confess that I had not heard of the T. chiloensis before, but I immediately fell in love with it when I saw it, so I can see why it is on your wish list! I hope you are able to find one for your wonderful collection very soon too! Yes also the Stenocacti are among my favourites, their blooms are just marvellous! Hope all is going well your end in Japan with your plants too, I always really enjoy your videos and posts too! Hope that you are having a wonderful Friday and wishing you an awesome weekend ahead! Take care my friend!
Hello Joe! You got quite a nice collection of plants at the show. I am always amazed at your extensive knowledge about these plants. I still have the one bud on my plant...wish it would open. Enjoy your new additions!!
Hello Cheryl! Brilliant, always super to read your comments and feedback! Thanks, very happy that you liked the plants that I collected from the sale/show, and thanks so much for your kind words, it just comes automatically, with the years of growing these - you will experience the same, over the years you just pick up lot's of infos about the plants that you grow, would like to grow, or have grown, haha! I am sure the bud on your cactus is just waiting for sunny, warm weather and will reward your patience very soon! I have quite a few in my collection that are doing the same, it has been pretty cloudy and cool here lately again, so many of my cacti are simply waiting on weather with their buds too, haha! Hope you are having a super Sunday, and have a wonderful week ahead!
Thanks so much Alex, really appreciated! I will take you up on that cool offer if ever I am over in Texas again ( hopefully!). Thanks for watching and for your feedback, so glad you liked it! Have a great weekend, happy growing my friend!
Some brilliant plants there Joe 😎 My Turbinicarpus klinkerianus cooked in last years heatwave 😲 Been trying to grow some more from seed but no luck yet. Have a good evening my friend 😊😊🌵🌵
Thanks so much Ziggy, appreciated as always, and I hope your growing of a few new Turbinicarpus from seeds is succesful, unfortunately they are indeed notoriously slow growers. Hope you have an awesome weekend ahead my friend, best wishes and happy growing of course!
That was an amazing haul, all very beautiful, and unique looking. I have a Trichodiadema densum, but smaller than yours, that just finished blooming violet it was very pretty. Glad you enjoyed your show/sale!
Hi Jena, thanks, very happy that you enjoyed the plant haul and brilliant to hear that you have a T. densum too, and that it has also already flowered in violet! I am really curious to see when mine will flower and also whether it will be in violet too? I have heard that there are also white-flowering varieties. Thanks again for watching and for commenting, much appreciated! Hope you are having a super Sunday, best wishes and happy growing of course!
Thank you, Elda, really appreciated! As always also so happy to read your awesome feedback, so glad that you liked the cacti! Hope you are having a very nice Friday, sending you lot's of cactus and flower greetings for a wonderful weekend ahead from my little greenhouse in Bavaria to your wonderful flower garden in Albania!!
Hallo Uli! Thanks so much, really happy that you liked the haul and plants! I think you are 100% spot on with Stenocactus albatus - also, that is what another very experienced grower and viewer on this channel (Nino Grubic) suggested too! And after some further studying of the literature on these plants, I am also indeed convinvced that is the correct name! Thanks for your awesome feedback, much appreciated! Enjoy your Friday and also weekend ahead, happy growing!!
Many thanks and very happy you found the plants interesting! Do you own and grow crested Euphorbias too? Thanks for watching and commenting, have a wonderful day, and happy growing of course!!👍🙏🌵🌱🌵🌼🌺🌼💚😎
Hi there! So glad you like it, thank you for watching and commenting, really appreciated! Got the shirt a while back from a cool, small store on Etsy, apologies, I have forgotten the name, but worth a trawl if you like it! Hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead and happy growing of course!
Gracias por ver mis mj y mis cactus soy de Uruguay usted cree que estos cactus grandes se pueden vender le comento que quiero irme a España y estoy ahorrando para poder pagar gastos y no tengo idea de cuánto vale un cactus de ese tamaño un saludo
Hi, because cacti are internationally protected under CITES, they cannot be sent to other countries without official, permissions and plant health phytosanitary documents. So you would have to sell locally in Uruguay, as far as I know. Best regards!
That was a fantastic video! Bold choices! I love the tall one with the huge spines...can't wait to see it potted up in something that fits it better. Thanks for sharing...that was one of the best plant haul videos I've seen.
Hey Terry! Thanks so much for your awesome feedback, very much appreciated! So happy that you liked my choices and the video. Yeah, I 100% agree with you, that Trichocereus chiloensis with it's most amazing spines is quite something, I had never seen one like that before. It is indeed repotted now and I will show it in a future video! Have a fantastic Friday and a great weekend ahead, thanks again and happy growing!!
The haul was definitely fun to watch, thanks for your time you always take to make these great videos for us! :) You indeed made good plant choices and also could grab some real bargains! 😮 Today was my birthday, here we had beautiful Spring-sun-weather, perfect timing 😉 My grandmother gifted me a magnificient Ferocactus (I assume "F. emoryi") with the most amazing spines! 🌵🤩 I also got a voucher for the visit of the PalmenGarten in Frankfurt, I am really looking forward to visit the "cacti & other succulents-collection/greenhouses" there. I already got some sneak peaks from the video of your visit to the PalmenGarten 😁 I wish you a great remainder of the weekend! 😄
Hallo Jacob, zunächst einmal ganz herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag, ich hoffe Du hattest einen wunderschönen Tag! Wishing you a Happy Birthday, and it sounds like you had a wonderful day, sunny weather and great presents from your family! Receiving such a Ferocactus gift from your grandmother is absolutely awesome, as is the voucher for a visit to the Palmen Garten - I am 100% convinced you will love it!! Plan for enough time and I can also recommend taking a look at their Botanical Collection (only viewable from the outside, not open to the public) towards the back of the main Tropicarium greenhouses!! Haha, indeed my video might help with your visit planning a bit, hopefully! For example, the Welwitschia house is open only on very few occasions during the week, and it is a TREAT!! I'm very happy that you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and for your wonderful comments as always! Have a super Sunday and great week ahead!
@@cactusjoe Thank you very much for your birthday wishes! 😊 It was indeed a fantastic day, meaning both the weather and the presents 😁😉 Kakteengrüße nach Bayern! :) 🌵
What a wonderful haul! You picked out really prize specimens and for a good price! The crested Euphorbia obesa is absolutely weirdly beautiful. These will fit in very nicely into your collection. Thank you for another great video.
Thank you, Justin, really brilliant that you enjoyed the video and also the plants I picked, much appreciated! Yeah, that Euphorbia obesa cristata is indeed a very special plant, I was so lucky to find that one - I hope it feels and grows well in my collection. Sending you lot's of cactus greetings my friend, take care and enjoy your weekend! Have an awesome one, happy growing!!
Big hull :) I love those pelecyphora and the turbinicarpus that were originally in that genus. Wilcoxia poselgeri is another cactus I've been meaning to start from seed I just like the thin body with the large flowers. Very cool. Do you quarantine your new purchases?
Thanks for watching and commenting and very happy that you liked the haul! Yep, those Turbinicarpus as well as Pelecyphora are some of my favorites too! I think the Wilcoxia is quite fast growing, so growing from seed probably a great idea! Yep, I always quarantine new plants, for about two weeks or so I keep them separate from the rest and just watch out for any pests to emerge from the pots or substrate, especially mealy bugs! Thanks again, take care and have a great weekend ahead, happy growing my friend!
That crested Obesa for 10 euro insane bargain! How do you keep down pests on newly bought plants? Each time i buy a mammillaria it got mealybugs and i throw it out the garbage :x
Thanks so much, Dave, it is indeed such a wonderful plant, I simply love it, and indeed it starts developing such a beautiful caudex - I used to have one before, which indeed had a nicely developed caudex, however unfortunately no longer have it. Which is indeed why I decided to get myself a new one now...and with a bit of patience and TLC hopefully it will be a caudex-bearing plant again! Sounds like you are growing this plant (or several of them?) too, which is brilliant! Thanks so much for watching and for your awesome comment, appreciated!
WOW!! That really sounds like a wonderful surprise, congrats Dave!! Such an awesome plant! Happy growing and have fun with these new additions to your collection! 👍👍😊🌱🌱🌵💚😎
Hi Jessica, thanks for watching and for commenting, so glad you enjoyed the cactus haul video! I know the feeling, worrying about space, as I am quickly running out too, haha! As they say, there appears to be this law of nature, that plant collections never get smaller, only ever larger, haha! Thanks, my accent probably reflects the mix of places I have worked and travelled to over the years haha, I am from Germany. Hope you are having a fantastic Friday, and wishing you an awesome weekend ahead, take care and HAPPY GROWING!!
Turbinicarpus is my faverite i only have T.jauernigii but i have 3 vary deferent looking small ones i would love to get more but the price is kinda high for a new collector like me
Hi Anders, wow, yeah T. jauernigii is a real beauty! Indeed they have become relatively pricey (as they are small but have wonderful flowers) but sometimes they are offered for relatively ok prices on eBay, worth looking out for. Or, raising from seed. Good luck with the other three Turbinicarpus, hope they flower for you very soon!
Hi Duncan, they are all from the northeastern regions of Mexico and quite like a very well draining, mineral rich substrate with a little bit of limestone chips added. Thanks for watching, hope you are having a great day and sending you cactus greetings to Alberta!👍🙏😊🌵🌵🏵🌺🌼💚😎
Go small? Lol that is what i do i go smallest or just a cutting but sadly stuff grows and 100 small cacti and succulents that just had a year to grow means i need more space and i have no evin started setting seeds yet but no more room
Hey Anders! Haha, yes I totally know the feeling, but that's why I wanted to at least start relatively small, knowing that many of these plants will grow quite quickly, BUT somehow space just does not! Yes, when seedlings are added to the mix, it simply means that our greenhosues need to be expanded upwards or downwards (...unless you have more space sideways, ...which I simply do not, unless I build out onto the road, haha). Enjoy the cacti as they are, carpe diem! Have a great Friday and weekend ahead my friend, happy growing!
