Love it! Makes me want to move south with my collection! I've been keeping cacti in Minnesota, which is a huge challenge in the winter. Dormancy is usually from mid-October to mid-May! It's quite a production to bring them inside every year. We do have 3 species of native cacti here though, which I keep outside year-round!

@hamsterama Год назад

I live in Ohio. Can you tell me the names of the species you have that you keep outside year-round? By the way, I also keep all my cacti outside as long as possible, but I bring them inside once temperatures get to 32 degrees F. The limited space on the windowsills inside my house is the only thing keeping my cactus addiction in check. LOL! I have unlimited space outside, but very limited space inside my house. Oh, and right now, we're having an usually warm fall. I'm happy about that, because it means I can still leave all my cacti outside. Normally, I would have my cacti inside by now, but with these warm temperatures, they can continue to stay outside.

@tiss0006 Год назад

@@hamsterama The species are Opuntia fragilis, Opuntia humifusa, and Escobaria vivipara. Escobaria vivipara is super rare though, and often poached, so don't get that one. They can all survive temperatures down to -20°F

@hamsterama Год назад

@@tiss0006 Awesome, thanks for your reply! I've tried to do research on cacti that can survive Midwestern winters, but I was having a hard time finding any info. There's a big difference between surviving below freezing temperatures in a dry, mountainous area, and below freezing temperatures in the Midwest, where you can have rain one day, followed by a freeze. I will see if any of my local nurseries sell those two opuntia species. If not, I'll order them online. Oh yeah, and poachers are scum. Nothing worse than someone stealing a plant or animal from the nature, just to make a few bucks.

@CactusCaffeine Год назад

Thank you for your awesome comments. I am learning from you. If you haven’t, check out the RU-vid channel of Clyde Morris (Morris Park in the Ozarks). He lives in Missouri and he has opuntia and chollas planted outside. They get buried in snow every year. But in spring, they all come back and flower profusely.

@hamsterama Год назад

@@CactusCaffeine I went ahead and subscribed to Clyde Morris' channel. Thanks for the tip!

@mreverybody1150 Год назад

I have some Sulcorebutia rauschii and an article says they are frost hardy to -5 (-15) C. This is surprising because of how cute and delicate they look!

@CactusCaffeine Год назад

That’s good to know! Thank you.

@morrisparkintheozarks6831 Год назад

You have quite a variety for your outdoor gardens!!! I think I have 6 opuntia varieties now that will take freezing. And my Coryphantha vivipara (Escoberia vivipara) but I don't think it stays dry enough for it to stay outside like the Opuntias. I did an experiment on a cutting of trichocereus grandiflores hybrid. I've had it setting around for months. And I decided to see just how cold it will take. It's already stood 22°F. I want to see just how cold these trichocereus will take! Thanks for sharing your wonderful plants Ana!!! Great video!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, out to Las Vegas, have a wonderful evening!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🌳🥀🌿🏵🌱🌹🌲🌸🌴🌷🪴🌻🌾🌼😃👍

Oh, I would like to know the result of your Trichocereus experiment. That is promising for me cause it rarely goes down to 22F here.

Really nice and useful video again, Ana, and a really nice reminder and overview of temperature requirements! I just love your plant collection, and your lovely garden with cacti & other succulent plants growing everywhere, haha!! Unfortunately it get's so cold in the winter months where I live, here in southern Germany, that I am unable to leave any of my cacti outside, everything has to go into the heated greenhouse! Thanks for sharing this wonderful summary, hope you are having a relaxing Sunday and wishing you a wonderful week ahead, happy growing!!

@jorgecanales798 Год назад

Opuntias are TOUGH!! I live in Zone 8 and I left several opuntias outside in the freezing temps with no protection and they survived. what shocked me more was that they survived even when they were in thin plastic pots

@CactusCaffeine Год назад

That’s amazing! Thank you for sharing your experience. 👍🏼

@imbindiurini8675 Год назад

Very interesting video Ana. Your climate is similar to mine, with the difference that the humidity in my (northern Italy) is around 90% with fog all the winter. Cold combined with high humidity can do a lot of damage. I keep some plants indoors, others in small balcony greenhouses, and those that need to be outside are sheltered from the rain and covered with "non-woven" specific for agriculture. Ciao Ana, I wish you a good winter! 🌥🌨❄⛄

@CactusCaffeine Год назад

Wow, your humidity is way too high for these cacti. Good decision to protect them and keep them dry. I wish you a good winter season, stay warm!

@gpooh55x Год назад

Good video!! Especially in Las Vegas i live here too and i have started to put my cacti in a covered shed like structure with plastic around it. I have found that for me i know that they will be protected from unexpected rain, frost or snow. I've lost a few cacti when i leave them uncovered.

@CactusCaffeine Год назад

Mountain snow came early this year. I hope our winter will be mild, though. 🤞🏼 Good luck!

@desertplantsofavalon Год назад

AWESOME video Ana and very informative, and its so good to know what cacti are cold hardy and what are not, I wish I had more cold hardy cacti as my house is packed full of plants everywhere for winter even in our shower haha, the weather has still been very mild here in Ireland and its been strangely warm for November, I still have a lot more cacti to move from the unheated white polytunnel into the heated green polytunnel, and I dreading moving the very tall ones LOL! thanks so much for sharing this fantastic video Ana, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and CAFFEINE and PLANT POWER to Las Vegas for a super Sunday XXXXX

@mreverybody1150 Год назад

I had a whole bunch of succulents out in an unheated greenhouse. One of them was a jellybean succulent that had grown huge. Articles all say 'They are not frost-tolerant, although they can grow well outdoors if temperatures don’t drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-6.7 degrees Celsius). I had some of them out in snow and they survived! I think they adapt in time. But I will see because I have about 10 cactus on the way and all of them will be out in an unheated greenhouse all year round. It will be an interesting experiment. But I think they are much more hardy and adaptive than we give them credit for, even if they were never meant for the cold. However one of them says 'Sulcorebutia 'totorensis' and claims to be cold hardy.

@desertplantsofavalon Год назад

@@mreverybody1150 So true they really can be more cold hardy and adaptive than we think, Sulcorebutia can be very cold hardy too, the drier you can keep them during the winter months the lower the temperature they can take, XXXX

@mreverybody1150 Год назад

@@desertplantsofavalon I received delivery of two lots of Sulcorebutia rauschii the other day. At the time of purchase I had no idea they were cold hardy. I discovered that the other day and was very surprised! they look so unassuming and cute. I will be growing some indoors and outdoors. By the way, I got to thinking how to protect my Cacti from slugs and snails and came across an experiment where they line the pot outside with copper tape. Have you heard about this? the slugs and snails look really uncomfortable going over the tape! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fyr1ax4V5To.html

@desertplantsofavalon Год назад

@@mreverybody1150 Hi :-D yes I use the copper tape around some of my seedling pots and trays, it really does work, I was having lots of problems with Slugs and snails taking pieces out of my cactus seedlings and used the copper tape, it works really well, and since using it I haven't had any Slugs or snails take nay bites out my babies XXXX

@mreverybody1150 Год назад

@@desertplantsofavalon Glad to hear it's working. I covered all of my Planters with that tape last night. Something else that has worked quite well in the past is a product called Envi Feed and Protect. It's a mineral treatment that makes the plants taste bitter to snails. I once sprayed some on a plant and 10 snails all left and went to the next plant pot all together! I will use both.

Excellent and informative video, Ana. Very important to know which ones are cold hardy and which ones are not. Thankfully it’s still pretty mild here at the moment, just a few chilly nights but no frost, yet anyway! Thank you for sharing with us as always. Have a wonderful day and weekend from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜☕️

Wow, that’s great that your climate is still pretty mild. Ours will change drastically next week. We are getting close to freezing. I’m busy now moving my plants inside my greenhouse.

True. Yours is a different story. I don’t know how you cope up with the cold. 🥶 Lol! I hope your winter will be kind to you this year.

As someone who grew up in Michigan but started collecting cacti while living in Louisiana I'm so scared to move them all back up there😅 Here I just leave them out on my porch year round, I'm not ready lol.

@azharabbascookmasteryoutube Год назад

Good

@wanderer8816 Год назад

You have so many cacti! Just how do you manage to manage their watering and what cacti can survive the cold or not? I’m mostly worried about the uk rain so I keep the cacti I own inside as I have few now, which kinds of cacti do you think would be able to survive our weather here, if any at all?

@CactusCaffeine Год назад

Many types of Opuntias such as Opuntia humifusa are cold hardy. They can even survive snow. Many chollas are also cold-tolerant. But I would keep protected from rain. Cacti are cold-hardy if they are kept dry so try to protect them from too much rain.

@snoywntr2 Год назад

Definitely helpful. I wonder if I should have left my trichocereus on my covered back deck?

@CactusCaffeine Год назад

I saw your Trichocereus in your garage (?) They look like they are still young. They might not be able to take your prolonged freeze outside. They should be ok in your garage.

@Nino_G Год назад

Hello Ana, I wonder if that Frailea grahliana of yours (clump forming one, next to castanea/asteroides) ever produced flowers? I have mine for five years and it has never blossomed. It regularly forms many buds, but they turn to fruit without ever flowering (that occurrence is known as "cleistogamy"). They do produce viable seeds which is nice (I believe that's called "autogamy"). They do produce flowers on occasion, however, supposedly under very warm and sunny conditions, but I have only seen that on pictures. Flowers are supposed to be relatively small and pale to bright yellow in colour. Thank you in advance and best regards, Nino

@CactusCaffeine Год назад

Hi Nino. Yes, both of them have shown me their flowers. But you are correct that they are cleistogamous and often goes straight to setting seeds rather than showing it’s flower first. The flowers would come up only when it was consistently very hot here (over 100F) everyday. I have pictures of them in my Instagram account. (Cactus Caffeine USA) 🙂🌵🌼🌼
