Cactus gloves I use, found here: amzn.to/3Wxzj7A When dealing with any kind of cactus rot, you will have to cut the rot portion off. The most important part of letting it callous “dry out” where the cut was made to allow it to form roots over time in the soil. Plant rescues can take a long time to see results but even small progress is a BIG deal around here.
I was gifted a little baby beef with a glued on flower. Any recommendations on how to remove it without damaging the cactus? It looks like hot glue underneath.
@@mandylou2501unfortunately that’s how most are put on. You could try carefully working the glue off but it could harm the beef beneath. They’re not harmful to the cactus but you could maybe find a safe goo gone if there is any
@@mandylou2501 I will say that the couple times I've pulled off a fake flower, eventually spines grew back in the same spot and I could never tell. it probably does depend on the kind of beef you have though. definitely does help to take the fake flower off though!
technically, plants also make flowers as last huraah before they die off - reason why sometimes in orchards they make lot of cuts on apple tree which they know wont survive to force it to make one big last huraah of flowering and bunch of apples - but yeah, was cute:D
Congratulations! 🌺 I went to a few horticultural society sales this past weekend, and someone was selling some cactuses that are native to our area (southern Ontario, Canada - yes, it's a thing!), and it was only $2 for a BIG piece. And I shouted "Look at that big beef!" and bought quite a bit. I don't think my mom wants to bring me out in public anymore 😅
Thanks again, Krystal!! I chopped my prickly pear, in 4 pieces, he wasn't doing well. 3 took to soil!! Mama is going nuts too!! My buig paddles are either growing, fruiting, or flowering!! Cannot wait to see!! California's bumper crop of EVERYTHING, this year!!
I need you to know that I talk to my plants the same way you do now 😂 When your voice gets high and airy when you get excited, I've adopted that into my repetior of overjoyously talking about my plants 😍😂
I still remember the moment I learned, that they glue the flowers on. My heart broke. I never bought a cactus again. But now, watching you and your love for all the sweet beefs, I'm considering a new beef mom attempt.
My son did all the same steps you have. He always brought in rescue plants. Now I understand the why's. I got sooo excited when our little guys began blooming. Our flowers were red. Love yours lol I didn't know flowers were glued on and got excited when 2 different types grown on top of the other. Lol sent him pictures and he called back saying they were glued! Color me red! Yes so cool when babies grow. I drown & sunburned my rosemary 😕 hoping to revive it back to its beauty. PS each visit he rearranged our balcony cactus garden. Nearly blind so didn't notice when he brought in that special freak lol guess he wanted me to enjoy without all the pokes. Miss my son & our balcony garden.
I love the jab at the big box stores 👏👏👏they tried to cone me also. Some people not so lucky and fall for the plastic flowers stuck on cactus. I think its the mamilaria that flowers like that . Nice video
I had to hack a huge chunk (basically the entire top) off of a cactus with one of those grafted fruit things and it's giving me a baby sprout! Thank you for all of your tips and advice, your plant love is contagious.
I saw a terracotta pot like hers at Michaels (The craft store) in their pot section. I bought one from there a long time ago. It’s a bit longer then the one in the video but their almost the same shape.
I always thought my cactus was just being difficult and falling over all the time. 😢😮 I had no idea that it needed something! Thank you for telling me so I can save her!
You gave me the confidence to chop my rotting cactus….it’s still died but at least I wasn’t too scared to try to rescue it😅 I had it for over a year before I killed it, which for me and my reputation for cacti is actually really good😂
Oh lord! You make me laugh every video I watch! Your cactus turned out great! I loved the "look at him and that's real it's not glued on. "I'm talking to you big box stores." 🤣 Plus, I have a cactus just like that one, and I wondered if it bloomed, and now I know how to keep its soil moist, not watered like my other plants! Thank you!!! 😊
I keep coming back to this video and now I want a little cactus sooo freaking baddd loll but idk if I would be able to keep it alive since I have death hands 😭😭
my tips for you í don't over-water (making the soil too damp and all wet) use a wooden stick to poke it in the soil once in awhile, if the stick is clean then the water is dry and if the stick changes color and has abit of dirt on it then it's not dry. I used to kill every plant I owned, even cactus and snake plants and ZZ plants, but I'm still learning. My ficus trinagularis variegata is still thriving :) For starter plants don't get succulents. Get plants that need alot of water and thrive in low light/indirect environments. They'll be easier to manage, such as fittonia
It’s so hard for me to comprehend the whole “callus over” concept! I don’t know if it’s just my medical training but I think of a callus on a plant like a scab on our skin. So it’s hard for me to think that once a plat has callused over that it will then be able to let new growth from new roots come through the callus and grow! Like when you have a large cut that wasn’t closed properly and it healed up but left a gap, the doc has to the excise both edges to make it a fresh cut and bring the skin together so it’s fresh and the blood vessels can heal together. I don’t know how to explain how I see it in my mind but it’s just bizarre and I know she’s right it’s just taking some getting use to! Lol! Like I always thought after you cut off root rot or something that it was best to put it in water or soil right away so it could start to “heal” and let the roots come through BEFORE it calluses (scabs). Lol. God I’m so weird lol.
Yesss hahaha the glued on flower totally tricked me I was like wow a flower I need that cactus …. A week later I realized the flower was fake 😅😂 I kept saying “it’s so nice it doesn’t die it’s like it’s not even real”…. Twasnt
Aww, he is living his best life at the Plants with Krystal Plant Sanctuary!!! 🌵 Congratulations, that must feel so good! I was so excited that my orchid bloomed! First time I successfully regrew one. AND my rescued peace lily is happily rehabbing in water... she only had a few leaves and they are increasing weekly and I've had no browning of leaves since following your tips... removed her from the soil, cleaned her roots, and changing the water/cleaning up her roots weekly. 🌿 Thank you!!!
I am SO happy I found your channel! 😂girl you are so funny! How did you learn all of this? I guess missouri isn't the best area for succulents or cactus or maybe it's just me...😬🌿🌵 😅
I was just given one of these! I have never had a cactus before and I am nervous, it looks healthy and has plenty of roots so I am hoping I don’t kill it 😅

It's like the cactus is saying thank you to you by giving you that pretty pink flower
Loveee your comment. Yes!! 😊

“And that’s real! I’m talking to you big box stores.” I lost it 😂 lol
😂 "I'm talking to you big box stores" stop it with the glued on flowers and paint already! 😮💨🤭
My goodness yes!
Those are the DUMBEST things ever
Definitely EVERY time I bought one like that they died. 😢
cactus rewarded you w that flower for your love and care ♡
awww i love thiss make so much sense
Cactus is now living it’s best life!
“Talking to you big box stores” I felt that in my soul!!! They are plant destroyers!!! Love your little cactus flower 🌸

Aww that little flower was so cute
It looks so happy now
Awww, it grew a flower because it’s happy now. 😊
My local big box store had all their succs and cacti marked 25% off. The urge to buy all their lil beefs and lithops was so strong
Happy beef showing its appreciation with a bloom. Congrats to all!
Thanks again, Krystal!! I chopped my prickly pear, in 4 pieces, he wasn't doing well. 3 took to soil!! Mama is going nuts too!! My buig paddles are either growing, fruiting, or flowering!! Cannot wait to see!! California's bumper crop of EVERYTHING, this year!!
Omg im so happy for you and your plants! I hope they keep growing!!
A flowering cactus is such a thank you from the plant to the owner ❤
I remember how excited I was when my bewb cactus finally rooted and was stable in her pot❤️
🤣 I absolutely love your grimaces and giggles! 💝
So sweet with the flower. ❣️
She gave you a flower 🌸 ❤️❤️❤️☺️
Thank you for making my brain release happy chemicals! I was very invested in that little guy
Lol love the brain phrasing, that definetly made my brain release some happy chemicals😂thanks for that!
You squeal over cacti the way most people squeal over puppies and I love it 😂
So cute with its itty bitty flower! ❤
Aww you saved him & he gave you a flower!! 🌺😊😊
OMG IT'S SO CUTE- AND THE FLOWEEEEEER !!!!!
The joy and love is adorable.😊
TY!!! Those box stores gluing on flowers and spray painting cacti, the nerve!!!
Love the flower! What a happy lil beef
I love your videos!! Your energy your vibes and how you bring in entertainment and education into your videos. All around you are such a pleasure!!
I need you to know that I talk to my plants the same way you do now 😂 When your voice gets high and airy when you get excited, I've adopted that into my repetior of overjoyously talking about my plants 😍😂
I love your sense of humor, and your videos.
The way I just leaned closer to my phone as she was showing the bottom of the cactus😭😭
😂💚 you’re very attentive.
Omg you got a flower! 🥰
I still remember the moment I learned, that they glue the flowers on. My heart broke. I never bought a cactus again.
But now, watching you and your love for all the sweet beefs, I'm considering a new beef mom attempt.
You are so cute! Love your gentle enthusiastic nature.
Awwww🥰a real one🌷… to thank to you for saved his life
I can’t wait to see my cacti bloom. I love how you are so happy.
You should write a book. I love your knowledge
Getting cacti content on my feed warms my heart 😭
Great job Kyrstal you keep giving great tips, I have more tools to repot my plants 🪴 😊
You're a lifesaver for this! Although my cactus didn't make it during the callusing process. I truly have been enjoying your videos!!
"Not a glued on one!"😂😂
That reward at the end!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
For real though, I hate it when big box stores paint the plant and glue things onto it. It just sets up the poor plant for failure
STOOOP MY LITTLE RESCUE CACTUS IS FLOWERING RIGHT NOW TOO!! 🥺🥺 Isn't it so exciting? They're thanking us.
My son did all the same steps you have. He always brought in rescue plants. Now I understand the why's. I got sooo excited when our little guys began blooming. Our flowers were red.

Cactus so happy it bloomed!
Aww that lil beef seemed so happy afterwards
I'm talkin to you big box stores... amen to that!
Ooo ..he IS cute .. and that lil’ flower 🥺💜💕
Gurll your squeaks are the best😂😂😂
Hooray to You!!! Inspiring for sure
You’ve got the magic touch for sure lady!
I had to hack a huge chunk (basically the entire top) off of a cactus with one of those grafted fruit things and it's giving me a baby sprout! Thank you for all of your tips and advice, your plant love is contagious.
Wow! She’s beautiful!
Cute mini beef 🥺 🌵
I'm so glad you made this short. I was gifted two tiny baby beefs with a syngonium, and one of them has some rot. Wish me luck!
I have a similar species of hedgehog cactus like this also in whack shape from a big box. Mine has put out a flower crown for weeks, so rewarding
Thank you for showing love the desert plants too! Reminds me of the cactus of my childhood home named Ol' Reliable.
It's always rewarding for me to see plants bloom when they start to thrive like this XD
I love the cute little flower!
Incredible!!! Adorable little beef with a hair clip
I love your personality!!
Where do you get your unique terra cotta pots? Lowe’s and Home Depot never had them
I saw a terracotta pot like hers at Michaels (The craft store) in their pot section. I bought one from there a long time ago. It’s a bit longer then the one in the video but their almost the same shape.
I would love your soil recipes ! ❤
Mine are flowering too, love a good cactus!
Spoonful of sugar, Spoonful of backing soda, two Spoonful of white vinegar, close top to ferment, helps rooting solvent
Omg the flower... Be still my heart!
I always thought my cactus was just being difficult and falling over all the time. 😢😮 I had no idea that it needed something! Thank you for telling me so I can save her!
You gave me the confidence to chop my rotting cactus….it’s still died but at least I wasn’t too scared to try to rescue it😅 I had it for over a year before I killed it, which for me and my reputation for cacti is actually really good😂
Ooooohhhhhh a flower ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💜
my heart, it's wearing a widdel flower hat 🥺💜
I like 🌵 cactuses!! Even mines haven't had flower😅
It’s so cute!! 😍
