Yes, I have some and my Mammillaria didn't rot during dormancy, but my other cactus did! All it took was me thinking winter was over, but it was not ready for spring. It had made it all winter and I watered it and it rotted. Important lesson about do NOT water cactus when dormant!
Ang gaganda talaga ng mga cactus🌵collection mo Anna. Parang lahat ng lugar kung saan sila tumutubo parang nasa iisang lugar lang: sa bahay mo hehe. Para syang museum of different types of cacti. Sanaol
Thanks Lyn. You should also make an update on your Mammilaria collection. You have some really old and stunning specimens. I would love to hear you talk about them.
Awesome video of your Mammillaria collection, Ana. Love the ones with the larger flowers, especially senilis. Hopefully the one you sent me blooms next year 😁 Thank you for sharing with us as always, Ana. Have a wonderful day and week from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜☕️
I have five Texas nipple cactus that I started from seed in 2018 . They are 3 1/2 inches tall and I’m getting at least five peppers ( seed pods a week ) I have replanted the first seeds they are slow growers and need to be in a moisture control container in the light sun/ shade. I live in southwestern Florida and the get the afternoon sun. They start out slow and you need to keep them in the light but not bake them. I probably have 300 seeds just from this year , at my age/ health I’ll never see any more grow to produce peppers. Love you channel , been growing cactus for 11 + years. I gave a neighbor one bud off a prickly pear plant and it’s now 6 ft x 6 ft x 2.5 thick , he passed she will have it taken out 😪😪. Nice collection. Thanks and have fun
Love the bloom of your Mammillaria schumannii. I'm going to show it to my M. schumannii (she only flowers max of 4) so she knows what her goals are in the coming years. 😅
Mammilarias are fast becoming my favorite cactus. I have only been collecting for a short while so my collection is much smaller. We live in a similar climate, I am in California in an inland hot valley. When do you stop watering your cacti for winter?
Thank you for this video, very beautiful. There are so many varieties that it's impossible to have them all. Therefore I limited my collection to "furry" Mammillarias, and it already takes two shelves! Have a great time.
@@CactusCaffeine hi! My plants are mostly doing well. My ric rack cactus has tons of buds forming! I have never had deer try to eat my cacti but they are all close to the house and I haven’t seen deer come that close here. There is so much good forage nearby that they probably don’t need too
Mammillarias are great little cactus for seasoned collectors as well as beginners!!! Such a variety of plants!!! And always reliable bloomers!! Great video Ana, and beautiful plants!!! Thanks for sharing!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, out to Las Vegas, have a wonderful week ahead!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🌷🌳🌻🌴🌿🏵🌲😃👍
By the way, if you're not saving those pepper-looking mammilaria fruits for the seeds, you can eat them! They're completely safe to eat, and they taste very good. Depending on the species, the fruits are either very sweet, like a lollipop, or they are sour-sweet, like a Starburst candy. By the way, I've unfortunately lost a few mamillaria to rotting as well, specifically in the spring. From what I gather, if you water certain species too early in the spring, before they're completely out of dormancy, they'll rot. I lost a few early this year to rot due to me overwatering in early spring, I'll be more careful next year. I live in USDA zone 6. I keep all my cacti outside, when temperatures are above freezing. I keep them inside for winter. It think it was too much of a shock to them to be watered as soon as I started leaving them outside in early spring.
If you don't know the information you conveyed to ana... This information she discussed in her previous videos.. She knows better than us as she has lots of experience in growing cactii & from seeds to mature cactii 🌵... Don't convey such message that will break her heart ♥... Thank you
@@classyfoodtime1759 Are you saying it's wrong to eat the fruit? That makes no sense. A cactus will make hundreds of seeds a year. So, you can save some seeds, and eat the remaining fruit. Or do you also think that if someone grows a garden, it's wrong to eat any of the fruits or vegetables, if they plan to save a few seeds for next year's crop? By the way, the reason fruit tastes sweet, including cactus fruit, is to attract animals or insects. The animal eats the fruit, and spreads the seeds elsewhere. So, cactus fruit is meant to be eaten. It is completely natural to eat the fruit.
I really like ALL of your videos, but especially those about propagation, troubleshooting, and this one on how to tell the different types. Thank you so much, Ana!
Mammilarias have blooms i liks and iv noticed that blooms in these varieties stay for quite fair long, right? And i like the intro 👍 tune..reminds me of my childhood everytime
Mammillaria are lovely and you have beautiful ones! I learned too about some of them being able to regenerate from a tubercle when I was researching a few years ago on one of my Mammillaria I was trying to save for my Mum... luckily it had 3 heads lifting the end, that are still alive now which used to be a massive clump...in the end didn't need to use the tubercles 😄
i really admired how u toke care of ur plants,,how.i wish my.cactus will have a flowera too like urs miss ana...i am one of ur silent followers..from Baganga davao oriental philippines Godbless always
@@CactusCaffeine binablik blikan ko po tlagang panoorin lahat ng videos niyo po miss ana...i really love all ur cacti how i wish i can have it like urs,hanggang tinggin at pngarap nlng po muna...thank u ahout out po sa next vlog niyo po...😘😘😘
Thank you for this video. I have a Mammillaria, and it’s flowering. I'm not quite sure if the fruit will come after their flowers. All of them give fruit?
Hello I was wondering if some cacti seeds are brown, when I collected the seeds from my Mammillaria, the fruit was ripe and came right off, there were about 30+ seeds. Mammillaria Densispina. The seeds are not squishy, what’s your opinion? My question again is, do some cacti produce brown seeds?
I'm always pleasantly surprised by the variety of mamillaria that show up in stores around Vegas. Even those big pots from the box stores are a pretty decent deal. Although the I'd rather buy a bunch of small ones off the 3 dollar rack at star, lol
Most of my Mammilaria came from Star Nursery or Home Depot, too. They started out small and most of them did not have names. I had to wait till they flower before I could ID some of them. 😄
Any idea on the lifespan of Mammillaria? I didn't have much luck looking it up. The reason I ask, I ordered some Euphorbia, and I read after that they have a lifespan of only 4 or 5 years. I'm new to cacti and succulents... my first year growing them.
It depends on the type of cactus. Rebutia blooms even at 2 years from seed. Some takes many years. Certain columnars need to be a certain height before they flower. I
Hi Anna...got a question for you. Ii have 2 parodia cacti in a pot together and one isn't doing too well...its not rotting. So should i remove it out of the pot and repot it ? I dont know whats going on with it... It bloomed in April and its outdoors right now.
Also.. How many years can a cactus live in a pot before its time to repot to a larger pot? Most of mine are small 4 and 6in pots...i also have 2 blue torch in 4 in pots. Help me out..its fall now and im not repotting till next year.

The shumannii flowers are beautiful. Now I want one !
Hello Anna you have a beautiful collection of cactus, thank you for sharing. The flowers 🌺 are big and love the color.❤

Have a great time.
I like your labeled slideshows. A real help in identifying my own. As well as see what I would like to have
Thanks Maria! Hope your plants are doing well in your big backyard. Off topic… do deers eat cactus in your yard?

Very interesting video, Ana. Fantastic the plumosa "reborn" thanks to the tubercles! Well done! Thanks and greetings from Northern Italy 🌵🌸🌺🌻
Yes, that plumosa “reborn” surprised me. Never knew some cactus could still live even though the core is gone.
Beautiful collection.

Great sharing nd can I repot my cactus? My place 19/27 temperatures now
there are lots of mammillaria in México also
The one flower mine had curled inward and I can't find any info why
But what are the two laying-down ones? I was waiting to find that out 😥
Thank you for this video.
I have a Mammillaria, and it’s flowering.
I'm not quite sure if the fruit will come after their flowers. All of them give fruit?
They will fruit only if the flowers were pollinated by bees or butterflies. 🙂
