Watching your amazing CACTI shopping videos again in January 2024. Do you know how lucky you are to live in a corner of the world where you can go to a nursery selling literally 1000's of CACTI!😊 THANK YOU SO MUCH! It is like heavenly. ❤ i love seeing so many types.
Thank you for revisiting my "older" videos, Lori! Oh yes, I count my blessings for living in an area with so many cactus! I do pay a hefty price of baking to death in the summer, but it's worth it! 😁😆🤣
Hey Jenny!!! I just watched this video for about the 3rd time in 6 months!! I love ALL ur videos, especially when u r shopping for cactuses! I find it very relaxing to me so Thank u for keeping it calm & even toned and pleasant lol... Although I was born & raised in the crazy city & state of Houston, TX, about 30 yrs ago, I moved out to East TX in the Boonies!! So I don't get to just GET OUT & GO whenever I want and we certainly don't have any nurseries within hours & hours drive. I have to do ALL my shopping online for cactuses which really SUCKS cuz I never REALLY know what I'm getting!! But at last count, I had about 200 cactuses so I'm well on my way!!! I have also been following along with ur "Lazy way to grow cactus..." Videos and will be attempting for my 1st time TODAY to sow my own seeds using A LOT of ur same methods!!! I'll let u know how it goes!! Anyways, I just wanna say, THANK YOU 4 all ur videos and getting to do what some of us don't get to do as easily!! We can live vicariously through u LOL!!! Thanks for Learning so some of us can learn from U!! I have learned an awful lot from u as well bc this is very new to me as ive only been infected with the cactus fever about a year ago!! So, keep up the great work!!! Go find us another show to go to soon pls!!! Sincerely, Anita
Gosh Anita, reading your comment brings so much warmth to my TH-cam video making heart! It makes it all worth it! Since I have been terrible about keeping up with comments and a month has passed by since you left me this wonderful message, how did your cactus seed sowing go?? Did you get some to come up?? Aren't we lucky to live in the age of online cactus shopping? LOL! Which shops do you tend to order from the most?
@@cookiescacti oh WOW 😲‼️‼️‼️ I actually had a reply from 1 of the Cactus goddesses!!!YeYyyy!!! I am so star stuck!!! 💫 Haha, no really,,, I am !!! LOL 😊 Thanks for replying!!! Indeed I meant every word I said and I have been having such a great time "playing" with all my cactuses recently!!! But, Guess what, Jenny!!! I sowed approximately 40-60'ish of the seeds lazily that I told u about, right?? Nothing too fancy. Some Mammillaria Hahnianas that I had pollinated myself, and it's going on about 3 months now and I have at least 20-30 lazy seedlings!!! So far (KNOCKS ON WOOD) no rot, no mold, looks pretty good!! I'm just nervous about introducing them to the air a little at a time (I did the plastic baggie method) So I'm feeling Really proud and excited but nervous and guess what I'd like to try next?!! U know it--- Grafting!!!; Hahaha!!! U did a Great job in that video btw! Very, VERY impressive!!! WOW! I want to try!!! To answer ur question tho, I don't really have any special Go-to places for online cactus shopping. Just eBay, maybe planet desert or mountain crest. But just recently I made a profile on Instagram as I hear lots of folks doing trades and buying through there so I'm trying to get it all figured out now & meet some folks .... besides, I don't believe I'm gonna want 40 Mammillaria Hahnianas all to myself!!! Hahaha,,,, I don't recall if u ever told the story B4 on one of ur vids but how exactly did u become so in love with cactuses urself?? Did something specific happen or something grab at ya?? I'm curious!! I'll bet it's a neat story!! Thanks again for all u do and for teaching us all and taking us on shows, nurseries & the tips & tricks and etc!! U truly seem like a Really nice, neat lady and ur cactuses r lucky to have U‼️😊✌️U take good, good care!!!! 💥PS Pls give Cookie a HUG from me!!! How's she doing lately?? Bless her heart,,, I hate to see/ know she's got the yucky health probs. 😔
The Superstitions are my favorite in the Phoenix area - the shape, the color... so majestic. Have you seen them when it snows up there? Just spectacular! That's so awesome that your parents had that view!
@@michellechapman6839 I'm so glad you enjoyed shopping with me, Michelle! The prices at this nursery are definitely hard to beat. I think this is the one place that may out-price even the big box stores in the area, which is saying a lot! I love Blue Torch Cactus too! I think I bought two from B&B last year and I'm happy to say that they're still alive 😀
You're very welcome! I'm just so glad that there are other people who enjoy videos like this! Thank you so much for watching and leaving such a kind comment ☺
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour. It's always a treat to be able to go out there and see what they have in-stock and what treasures are to be found 🌵😻
Thank you! It is a delicious cactus spread 😁🌵. I still rely on online shopping for finding certain plants that I can't find in person - thank goodness for the internet!
That nursery is absolutely packed with beautiful cacti🥰💢I enjoyed watching very much😌🤲💖I have a question, what's the minimum winter temperature there in Arizona in winter?
Thanks again for another wonderful comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour 😊 It can fall just below freezing for short periods of time during the coldest days in the winter, although it doesn't last long, like in the hours range. Last winter I remember a couple of mornings where I saw frost in the yard. It's so darn hot right now that I can't even imagine winter lol
Hello from Arizona! I just read a comment from someone in Ohio saying something very similar. The southwest definitely has the advantage for growing cactus (and thank goodness there are people driven to grow professionally, I can't imagine it being an easy business). Are there some cool cactus nurseries or shops in Canada, Daniel?
Hi Theresa! They have an online shop for their cactus gardens and boxed cactus kits at their website (link near the bottom of the video description). I don't see why they wouldn't be able to ship to CA. Happy growing!
@@cintyabrito9324 Awww thank you so much! I feel the same way when I see other people's cactus collection or plant nurseries, one of the few things that give me pure child-like excitement. I'm so glad that you and I have that in common 🥰
They mostly sell small plants. They have some slightly larger plants in 3.25" to 6" pots but there aren't that many. Super fun place to treasure hunt 😊
It's definitely tough for those of us who work M-F, me included. It does make for a special trip when I do have a day off and can make it out there though!
@@cookiescacti Buying and selling on line is the best. I have watched your TH-cam and some of the prices I see are way too high. 3" pot size should cost about $6.00. I sell on eBay and I have trouble getting $6.00, but shipping cost is a problem.
@@mybuckhead Yeah, it's getting harder and harder to find cactus in that price range, especially certain genera and species. B&B Apache Cactus is one of the few places that still have $3-$6 plants besides the big box stores. Online is great to find just about anything but indeed shipping is killer. That's why it's good to shop around - hopefully my videos give people a sense of different prices at different nurseries.
Wow! I have just recently fallen down the cactus rabbit hole and am amazed at the vast varieties of cacti.
This tour was wonderful, thank you so much!
Welcome to the cactus rabbit hole, my friend! It has no bottom 😂

Wow wow cactus galore
Right?? What a cactus spread!
You are lucky to live so close to cactus nurseries! I’d go broke if I live there. Lol! So many varieties. 🥰
The struggle is real, Ana! Maybe it's blessing to be running out of space because it has helped slow down my plant purchasing 😅
I love seeing cactus TH-camrs commenting on each others videos. I saw a Desert Plants of Avalon tshirt in a Cactus Quest video not too long ago
My parents used to have a condo in Apache Junction. They had a super view of Superstition Mountain from their porch !!
The Superstitions are my favorite in the Phoenix area - the shape, the color... so majestic. Have you seen them when it snows up there? Just spectacular! That's so awesome that your parents had that view!
I have been in the East Valley for 40 years and grow many cactus also. I have never heard of B & B Apache Cactus! Thanks so much!
It's so great to meet another local cactus lover, Nancy! I hope you get a chance to check out B&B Apache Cactus, it's such a fun little spot.
What an awesome nursery!! Thanks for the tour
I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour, Nicole! Thank you so much taking the time to leave a lovely comment!
Look at those cactus. Hundreds of them. Oh, I like the music at the beginning.
Thanks, Dad! They have a huge selection! That opening sequence took a while to edit hahaha
WOW!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL...... and the prices are amazing!!!
I love the BLUE TORCH cactus...

Omg ¡ i need to get myself to Arizona ! Loved it
Yesss! What part of the country/world do you live in? If you love cactus and succulents, Arizona would be a really fun visit 🌵
Excellent video…really enjoyed this tour and simply love this nursery…thanks so much
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour. It's always a treat to be able to go out there and see what they have in-stock and what treasures are to be found 🌵😻
Thank. You. I love you cactus touched
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment 🌵💚
So beautiful. You're so lucky over there, you have so many options. Not much over here in KY.
Thank you! It is a delicious cactus spread 😁🌵. I still rely on online shopping for finding certain plants that I can't find in person - thank goodness for the internet!
Wow what a tour. I would have such a hard time choosing some.I’d want one of each 😂 Thank you 🥰❤️🌵
Right?? I go through that challenge every time - what do I take home?? Then picking one out of the lot is nearly impossible 🤣

Hello from Canada, the US cactus market is really large that it has way much more varieties of and much cheaper cactus comparing Canada.
Hello from Arizona! I just read a comment from someone in Ohio saying something very similar. The southwest definitely has the advantage for growing cactus (and thank goodness there are people driven to grow professionally, I can't imagine it being an easy business). Are there some cool cactus nurseries or shops in Canada, Daniel?
Wow! Thanks for sharing…do they ship to CA?
Hi Theresa! They have an online shop for their cactus gardens and boxed cactus kits at their website (link near the bottom of the video description). I don't see why they wouldn't be able to ship to CA. Happy growing!
Parabéns,pelo canal.👏👏👏
Queria todos esses cactos pra mim🤣
Thank you so much! It is always so much fun shopping here!
Bom dia,Com todos esses cactos lindos esse lugar se torna um parque de diversões para quem gosta e aprecia os cactos.😘Deus te abençoe!

New sub ! Liked
Ahhh thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tour!
Do they sell big ones too or just smaller ones? Nice video!
They mostly sell small plants. They have some slightly larger plants in 3.25" to 6" pots but there aren't that many. Super fun place to treasure hunt 😊
@@cookiescactido you know any place in the Phoenix area that sale larger or rare cactus?
@@colty__ yes! Arizona Cactus Sales in Chandler
😍
💚💚💚
Not bad you can problably do it at home
You mean setting up a nursery like this?
I’m d love to own that business
Right?? I would love to be supplying cactus dish kits all over Arizona
I never have understood why most business that cater to people that work are only open when we are at work.
It's definitely tough for those of us who work M-F, me included. It does make for a special trip when I do have a day off and can make it out there though!
