Thank you so much for the support! If you head out to AZ Cactus Sales, let the guys know that Cookie's Cacti sent you. They love it when they find out that TH-cam brings them new cactus friends. (And I love hearing about it from them 😁). Are you in the Phoenix area? If so, join the CACSS!
Thank you as always for your supportive comments, Lori! I'm so glad you enjoyed shopping with me. They do have an online shop too but then shipping & handling come into play.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour! I've watched many of your videos and enjoy them so much - you grow an amazing variety of cactus and they all look so healthy and vibrant!
LOL! I was wondering what background dialogue could be heard in the video! There certainly are a lot of plants that he can't find at Home Depot here lololol. That gives me another video idea - I'm going to see if Home Depot will let me record their garden area... there are some good finds there sometimes. I'm so glad you enjoyed this video! What part of Florida are you at? There's a pretty cool online succulent & cactus shop called Paradise Found Nursery located in Sarasota, I'm not sure if they allow in-person visits.
Yay, so good to know you're local! This is my favorite cactus nursery in the Phoenix area. They did a great job with the new space! Have you been since their re-opening?
Lol,yea! I went the weekend they opened at the new location. Personally I like there new location,and new stock,probably go back this weekend. But yea,I I watch your videos and like your channel along with a few other like cactus quest and crime pays but botany doesn't. So i was wondering if you sell your seedlings?
@@javisantiago6424 Thank you so much for watching my videos! I love Cactus Quest and Crime Pays, I have watched many of their videos on repeat. I haven't started selling seedlings yet, not quite ready. At some point I will have to let some go, just way too many to keep. Any particular ones you're interested in or looking for?
@@javisantiago6424 I'll definitely let you know when I'm ready! Thank you for your interest! Sometimes I look at my seedlings and think "what the heck am I going to do with you all?" Are you on Instagram? I'll probably post something on IG when I'm ready to let some go. It's perfect that you're local!
What part of the world are you at? I think that's wonderful that you can keep succulents alive. I can't keep the soft leafed waxy colorful ones alive for the life of me!
That place is amazing! I wish there were something similar closer to where I'm at. Last month I did a day trip to Poots Cactus nursery in Ripon, CA but I can't do that often because it's just a little too far to do very often. Anyways, thanks for sharing, so cool.
Hi Heather! Poots is one of the nurseries in California that I wish I could visit someday! I kinda know how you feel because Tuscon is where there are many amazing cactus nurseries but it's a 1.5 to 2 hour drive so I don't get to go often. The distance does those make those occasional trips extra fun and special though!
@@cookiescactioh yeah, you do understand! Poots is about a 4 hour round trip for me but it was so worth it and like you said, it makes it a little more special because it's not somewhere I can just go anytime. I hope you get to see it one day, it's truly amazing how big the specimens in the ground there are.
@@the_plants_meow Oh wow, 4 hours is definitely a trek but it makes it oh so special when you do have a chance to go! I really do hope I get to visit Poots some day!
Excellent reporting. Thank you very much. It would also be nice how to buy it all, where is their website? How and where to see plants and prices and place an order to Europe.
I have a link to the nursery's website in my video description. I'm not sure if they can ship internationally because of all the plant export/import rules, but it's worth asking!
Just got back from our 2nd drive to B&B Apache to stock up again. 3 month snowbird and our stay is winding down. 😤 Have to check this place out next winter.
Did they have some good inventory at B&B? I've been wanting to go visit them again but I always have to wait for a day off to go on a weekday and it hasn't worked out so far. If you check out AZ Cactus Sales next time you have to let me know what you think! P.S. where are you snowbirding from?
I love it! I’m in Gilbert I’m gonna check this place out soon for sure. Any other cool nurseries u would recommend to a fellow arizonan who collects San Pedro, totems, loophora? Come check out the collection soon I have over 100 Pedro’s :)
Hello fellow East Valley-er! Arizona Cactus Sales is perfect for totems. Most of the nurseries in AZ have San Pedro, but not any super cool varieties, mostly the common stuff. Are your Pedro's in the ground? That's super cool!
thank you for your time used and for sharing, it was moving a little to fast for me to enjoy so i set the play speed at 0,75 i get seasick when camera is moving this fast
Apologies about the speed, Anders! I agree - every time I edit my videos I get that same feeling about moving too fast and thinking "I hope my viewers have their finger on the pause button." It's a challenge finding that balance between trying to catch the details on the plants, labels, and prices while moving swiftly through to keep time in check and not being in the way of other customers. Luckily, TH-cam has the playback speed settings and pause button... I've had to use both features while watching other videos myself too. Thank you for watching and for leaving the feedback!
As I watch your videos, I’m struck with an unutterable sadness, seeing how I live in Oklahoma, where the nearest Cactus Supernurseries are 900 miles away 😭😂
Dawwwwwwwww, I don't want you to be sad! That's where we can marvel to live in the age of the internet - online plant shopping! Any plant anytime anywhere! Both a blessing and a curse at the same time!
@@cookiescacti haha, there might’ve been a slight bit of hyperbole in my comment. Although, I might rent a moving van and drive out there to do some spring cactus shopping 🌵🌵🌵🤣
@@expediteplanb7443 😂😂😂 I love it! Hyperbolize away! Don't hyperbolize too hard on the renting-a-truck-to-drive-900-miles-to-buy cactus plan though, that might actually be very reasonable in my mind 😜
Please, can you help me with question ! NAMES OF CACTUS 1) spineless 2) hornless 3) Hardy to zone 6 I can not found it. Thank you ! Ps. I know only about Spineless prickly pear cactus . Any more , please ? 😊
I'm not familiar with zone 6 so I can't give any recommendations, unfortunately. I barely even know my own zone lol. I got my totem pole cactus because it was spineless. Otherwise, I'd have to think hard about other spineless varieties. You could always look for inermis types - the cactus that have a mutation/growing tend of not having spines. Otherwise, the majority of cactus have spines.
It's hard to say on price. But what I can say for sure is that Tucson has a lot more options for cactus shopping. If you're coming from out of town for cactus shopping and have limited time, I'd pick Tucson.
They moved some of them to the new location. Some of the trees were trimmed down for the transplant so they don't look as huge as before. I think some went back to the original owner's property. We must ask Ty & co. the next time we're there!
Fungus is a possibility. I've had it show up on the new arms on my totem pole cactus last year. I didn't do anything about it and eventually it grew out of it.
Sometimes I justify the prices I sometimes pay for cactus with I’m paying 1,2-300$ for 30,40 sometimes 50+ years of growth. Almost like time time traveling ahead 40 years lol
I completely agree! We're paying to fast forward in time. I'm still amazed how nurseries and growers make money. I mean, a $100 plant is expensive, but if the plant is 25 years old, it's cheap!
@@cookiescacti i currently have small blue candle & blue torch that I place on my table hoping one day it will grow large enough for me to propagate into new pieces then I can sell off my Spare pieces for side income 😅
Sounds like a great plan! What part of the country/world to you live at? The ones I have outdoors in my yard seem to grow relatively quickly compared to the non-columnar cactus.
I'm getting a little better at it. Some ppl recommend playing it back at a slower speed. Check out this video where I move much slower (but it also took hours to film): th-cam.com/video/2keItVrrCQg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=m45owdQmQ7AdZOsi

Is it because the prices are low? One thing you can do is grow genus or species that aren't often found on the market, or grow collector plants, you can get some decent prices on those but it does take a lot of work... I often wonder how these growers and nurseries make money!
Enjoyed the nursery tour thanks.
