Really enjoyed seeing a tour through your seedlings! Baby cacti are underrated. I'd rather have a bunch of slow little Ariocarpus and baby cacti than dead ones so you're doing good in my book 👍For me it seems like once my cactus seedlings grow to a certain critical mass they really enjoy being transplanted into a mix that is more "adult". After the short transplant shock they seem like they really take off.

Fun seeing the Ariocarpus in their own habitat. These are usually the last Chihuahuan Cacti to bloom, with pretty light violet flowers in fall. I have several in tall/narrow pots in afternoon desert sun. Now 5 to six inches across after many years in the very deep pots. No fertilizer and very little water.

Cool video, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for your informative video. I have a question. When do I let my cactus seedlings expose to the sunlight? One year after their germination ?

@5:40 Add diatomite if you can't source calcium carbonate from limestone and need to dodgy up some po-mans limestone. As an "insect repellent" it is entirely ineffectual.

You got a lot of patience pops. I'm very surprised you never got into grafting.

Could you give more info about Mammillaria grahamii? Why is it considered rare and why is it difficult to find in the USA for sale? I just found an cutting after 4 years of trying to identify one I had to leave behind when moving.

This is the video that i need, thank you!

Wooow look at those fissuratus! Really lovely - how long have you had them? Really enjoyed this video - can't beat seeing someone else's pristine Ariocarpus plants living the good life.

I've seen hybrids S. disciformis X T. alonsoi, they look very much like Strombocactus esperanzae (somewhat longer tubercles than disciformis and magenta flowers, like alonsoi). Some authors actually think that Strombocactus disciformis ssp. esperanzae might be natural hybrid between Strombocactus disciformis and Turbinicarpus alonsoi.

I use cinnamon to stop rot on regular seedlings, it might help to try that too

Thank you so much for your video! I have been searching and searching and so many keep their cactus seedlings in the baggie. I felt this was not the best information as so many of mine got mold fungus and died. I thought i did something wrong, but now i am having success with giving them air after germination! Thanks again, I am so very grateful for your information!!

I hate mites had them all last year and finally got rid of them this year. I tried spinosad at first and that helped but didn’t eliminate them, what I found that worked was wet-able sulfur fungicide spray.

I live in Japan and i'm growing Agave lechuguilla, Peyote, Echinocereus rigidissimus, and Hechtia texensis. When I transfer them from pots to a desert terrarium, I will put some limestones into there too like the awesome landscape in this video.

Really awesome stuff, i love how clean your seedling pots look, mine are all covered in algae :p Best regards!

Very enjoyable video. 😀👍 Have you tried exposing those pencil-like Mammillaria albiflora to more sunlight? Turbinicarpus lophophoroides like richer clay soils, perhaps your substrate is too lean for them. T. alonsoi like some humus in soil, and they prefer shaded position, especialy when young. Later on (when they reach approx. 1 cm in diameter) they can be gradually exposed to more sun. Best regards, Nino

Most root rot can be prevented if you use plastic pots and drill more drain holes all around the bottom of the pot instead of one little teeny drain hole at the bottom soil aeration is the most important part of preventing root rot also filling the pot with soil all the way to the top is incorrect there should be at least an inch or inch and a half of finish grade in the pot

Beautiful plants! Thanks!

is it legal to harvest them ? ✌️💚 from the middle of W.V.

Thanks Dude! What an amazing show; all these specimens are incredible. Many of the Ario & Copia are so perfect they look like . . . unreal. Haven't finished watching yet; we can see why this is a favorite cacti show. PEACE

Awesome plants - thanks for sharing!The quality of staging is just on another level compared to BCSS shows here in the UK.

I was thinking the same thing. De grafts?

I don't understand how do they fit Ariocarpi (and other species with taproots) into that shallow dishes. 🤔

Just loved your clay pot a lot

Awesome 👍 informative ❤

I live at 9500' in Teller County, and we have these all over my property. They're so cool. I've tried (unsuccessfully) to propagate them. Hummingbirds LOVE their flowers in June.

When I grow up I want to be a potato farmer. Out of context comment. SF/

What is, sifted organic. People keep saying add mineral. What is it actually called so I can buy some?

Amazing video, thanks a lot for sharing! Really nice to see some high quality video with the habitat of this species.

Really cool to see these in the wild! Not enough people are interested in them and some of the other funky little cold hardy cacti so it's nice to see a video dedicated to it. I live in Albuquerque and have one outside in the ground but I should plant more! Started a bunch of P. despainii this year too woowoo

Oh hey, i just ordered from that seller last night!

Cool music

Lithops are cool

Wow! Such videos are so educational. Love them! Fascinating how these marvelous plants have adapted themselves to tough elements of nature. Your channel is so underrated - it will suddenly boom someday!!

Awesome!

Nice.. what do you recommend for haworthia? 1/3 organic 2/3 mineral or less of organic and more mineral? What's your recommendation?

True Grit!

Where do you get your 2" green tall pots? Enjoyed this vid. Replanted some small lithops onto sandy soil and taller pots I had. Also like the Ario video too. Keep it up. 😎🌵

Thank You 🙏🏽

We’re did you buy your airocarpus from if you don’t mind me asking I live in South Carolina and can not find them here great video

Nice video thanks! But how in the world were those cacti shipped (as shown) without scattering gravel and soil all over?

In my oppinion Why they’re rot is caused by the water are so alkaline, naturally cacti like acid water. U need to test ur water pH if its more than 7.5 and use for watering offcoursly they will die slowly

Beautiful collection! What’s your soil recipe? Looks very inorganic.

Hi there😌🙌Amazing collection🙏💞

I really like the top dressing you use around your plants. What type of rock is it?

Thanks for this program, I always enjoy your videos. 👍 May I ask do you condition your water in any way before watering (do yo acidify it), or do you use rainwater?

I'm new to growing cacti and this is a great and informative channel. Many thanks.

I guess one doesn,t feel so bad when burying old cig butts in pot plants {joking but may not be to some degree}

Nice video. Thank you for sharing.
