How to water Cacti & Succulent Plants :-D
Hi Lynn from New York. I just got my first Jade plant and this was extremely helpful. All of your videos are. Thank you so much 😊
So happy you found the video helpful and enjoy my videos :-D and thanks so much Dan for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to New York for a terrific Tuesday XXXXX
Such a helpful video! I didn't do so well last year with my succulents. (My cacti babies are thriving!) I splurged yesterday and planted a bunch of new ones. With your guidance, I think I may be on the road to success! My new succulent babies and I thank you!
+Heather H Thanks so much Heather for your wonderful comment :-) thats such fantastic news you have planted some more succulents and brilliant that your cacti babies are all doing so well :-) thanks a million for watching and sending you an abundance of love and heaps of happiness and tons of happy growing from Ireland for a MAGICAL week ahead XXXXX
What a beautiful cactus collection !
So happy you love the collection, and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and have a fantastic plant powered new week XXXX
If people are stuck for rainwater I’ve just been told recently to use the drops you put in aquariums that take out the chemicals out to make it safe for fish. Thought this was a great tip👍
WOW yes that sounds brilliant and if its safe for fish it should also be safe for plants, thanks so much for letting me know, and thanks so much for your awesome comments and for watching XXXX
Aquarius I use a small soft paintbrush to clean my succulents and cacti. Especially when perlite gets trapped in between the leaves after watering. It's a great way to move dust and debris from plant crevices without damaging the plant.
Small paintbrushes are perfect for cleaning cacti and succulents and they are so fantastic for getting the dust off from in between the spines, thanks so much Tracy for your fantastic comments and support and for watching, and wishing you a wonderful plant powered Friday today XXXX
You are the cacti guru. Important information for those who want to be successful at keeping them.
+Midwest Gardener Thanks a billion Jim for your really wonderful comment and for watching :-) Sending you an abundance of love and heaps of happiness from right across the Emerald Isle and have a WONDERFUL Wednesday today XXXXX

Thank you for the great advice on watering for my potted cacti. Although my big cacti are planted directly in the ground and I leave the watering to nature. Best regards from Arizona.
+Guido Morvillo Thanks so much Guido for your fantastic comment :-) you are so blessed living in Arizona and having your cacti growing in the ground outside and with the percent conditions for these plants and all the glorious sunshine, it would be my dream to visit Arizona one day and see all the cacti growing in their natural habitats :-) thanks so much for watching and sending tons of love and happiness to Arizona from Ireland and have a MAGICAL afternoon XXXXXX

Great tip about watering echeverias. I only have one in my collection (can't normally grow them due to light conditions) and it has lost its lower leaves. I will be sure to water from the bottom in future. I must say that Sean is a very understanding BF. My husband is always telling me off for buying more house plants! Anyway, hope you have a fantastic week love paula xxxx p.s I have taken some cuttings for you from my grans Christmas cactus and they seem to be doing well at the mo. I will send them on once you have moved xxxxx
+Buzzardgirl13 Thanks so much Paula for your fantastic comment :-) Thats brilliant news that you taken some cuttings from your Grans special Christmas cactus for me, thank you a billion times over :-)
Lyn this video was amazing! I have so many answers now!i bought two echeverias from lidl, just like your echeverias, and I was so confused why the leaves were rotting at the base and caused one of them to become spindly. I really couldn't understand because they get plenty of sun. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful video! Again reflecting on how gorgeous all your plants are.
+Peter Mc Guinness Thanks so much Peter for your wonderful comment :-) I am so pleased that you found this video really helpful, its so confusing with all the different types of plants especially with the succulents, and the Echeverias can be a difficult one with the bottom leaves resting on the surface of the soil :-) thanks so much for watching Peter and sending you tons of love and heaps of happiness from Waterford and have a MAGICAL Tuesday ahead today XXXXX
Omg... i love your collections of succulents . It's great to come across your vid, i get a glimpse of amazing and well growing cacti 😍😍
thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle for a wonderful weekend XXXX
Spot on Lyn! I find watering to be the most difficult for most plants; especially succulents/cactus. It is always best to understand the natural habitat or the hybridized parent's habitats to get a thorough understanding of just what the plant ill truly require. The trick is to master the needs of one's entire collection. :-/
So very true indeed :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching :-) sending you an abundance of love and happiness and heaps of Plant Power from Ireland for a terrific Thursday today XXXX
Hello, so glad to have found your channel! I live in Greece and I have started my onw collection of cacti and succulents, so your videos are like a treasure to me! Thank you for all the amazing videos, much appreciated! I love your collection, it looks to me like a plant cornucopia, magnificent! :)
This video was great and very informative! I learned so much and so many questions were answered!! I very recently started collecting and keeping Cacti and didn't know much about it, But thanks to you know I know a lot! and hopefully will be able to care for them much better.
+M Azim Khan Thanks so much for your wonderful comment :-) so happy that you learned so much and growing these plants is amazing to do and its such a fascinating hobby :-) thanks so much for watching and sending lots of love and happiness from Ireland and have a fantastic day XXXXXX

Thank you for explaining
thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Sunday today XXXX
This was very helpful. I tend to lose a couple desert plants over the winter every year and I I think I tend to underwater in the summer as a result. It took my two tries to successfully overwinter a Crassula. I work in an outdoor garden centre so I’m pretty new to indoors and I live in zone 4b so the winter kicks my ass every year. Also the ph of my tap water is 8.2! I always let it decholrinate overnight before I use it but I hadn’t considered ph
Hi Lauren :-D so happy that you found the video helpful, yes the pH of your tap water is high if you can collect rainwater if its possible this is best, but its not always easy to collect, leaving the water dechlorinate overnight helps a lot too, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Saturday XXXX
Hi Lyn.
Thanks for the video. Your Cacti and Succulents are awesome. Also, thanks for the links which will hopefully let me identify the few cacti and succulents i have.
Keep up the love.

I love desert cactus 🌵
Thy are amazing plants I agree :-D thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful plant powered Wednesday today XXXXX
Great video. Thanks. I'm learning so much for your channel. I used to get cactuses as a kid and kill them. It turned me off of them. But now I'm ready to try again as I have experience with other plants. Wow those black plants. I'm not into succulents as much but the idea of a plant that looks like a metallic black flower is cool. And you have a giant crystal! I like them because I'm a fan of SpaceGodzilla.
So happy that you learn so much from my channel and I am so happy to see a notification you have uploaded a new video on your new cacti
Greetings from US of A!! I'm new to cacti and succulents so I found this video very helpful!! Thank you very much! You have a beautiful greenhouse. Love you accent lol 😘

We have a spring, most of the water we drink is rainwater but it goes through a filter. I use our tap but I will try to change to water my cacti with rain water now. Thanks for the info.

My wise dad once told me to look at the thickness of the leaves on plants, the thicker the leaf the less water it needs. And another one, think where a plant originates from.

Thank you for another great video, Lyn! :) My Stapelia is doing very well since the repotting and since I started to water more frequently. I have a keen eye for my orchids for the most part, but what I need is one for my succulents and cacti to be able to meet their needs. You're videos are helping me a lot to know what to be mindful of and what to watch out for. :)
+Bumblebee Thanks so much for your wonderful comment :-) thats such brilliant news your Stapelia is growing really well since you re potted it, well done on re potting it :-) thats so wonderful to hear that my vids are helping you :-) thanks so much for watching and sending loads of love and tons of happiness from right across the Emerald Isle for a FANTASTIC week ahead XXXXX

Hello, thank you for your channel! It is very informative and full of beauty😍✨❤!
I've got a cacti that was overwatered during a winter and it's top has grown as narrow carrot, it has 20 cm diameter in the lowest areolas, and 7 cm at the top. What would you suggest for my grusonii? Maybe you have a video about it? I want to avoid a surgery)) thank you!

+Indra Yudha Kusuma Thanks so much Indra for your FANTASTIC comment :-) so sorry to hear that your Echeveria died, they can be really difficult to know when to get the watering right and because of their lower leaves on top of the soil surface :-) thanks a billion for watching and sending you loads of love and heaps of happy growing from right across the Emerald Isle to Indonesia and have a BRILLIANT afternoon XXXXX
Hi Lyn! I love the unorganized variety of plants in your conservatory. Since they are not arranged according to species, each one is a surprise when you see it. I also enjoyed seeing your mixed cactus bowls. Do you only have them in your conservatory? The bowl with the agave and mammillaria gracilis cactus is really nice. I saw others too! Do you enjoy making the mixed bowls? I got a good look at your conservatory in this video, but have you made a video on its best features and why you have certain plants in there and how you like to enjoy that space? That is a dream area! Maybe we'll see more of it this year.
So happy you loved the video of the plants in the conservatory Terry :-D I don't have this conservatory any more as I moved from that house about 5 years ago from the South of Ireland to live in Belfast, and I have most of the cacti and succulents in a polytunnel in our garden now, the conservatory was lovely to display all of the plants and because it was clear glass it was excellent lighting for them, our polytunnel we have now is green covered and plastic and not the best for cacti as it filters out some of the natural light, and ideally I would love to replace the polytunnel with a glass greenhouse like this conservatory, it would look so much more aesthetic in the garden and would allow more light for the cacti, I have a few of the mixed cactus bowls in the polytunnel now and they are great for planting together to make wonderful bowl garden arrangements, I really enjoy making them too, thanks so much Terry for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
Hi Lyn, loving your videos and tips but there is one thing that I am confused about, watching your video on watering, it looks like you have your cacti sitting in water trays, does this not encourage them to sit in the runoff water??
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I seem to be loosing far too many and the rest aren't looking as healthy as I'd like
I love this video

+Tyler Capanna Thanks so much Tyler for your fantastic comment :-) Aeoniums are amazing plants and very easy to care for, I keep mine watered during the Winter but I leave then to dry out in between waterings, I will definitely make a vid on them in the future, but here is a very good article on Aeoniums from World of succulents and it will really help you to get started on their care :-) here is a link to the page : worldofsucculents.com/how-to-grow-and-care-for-aeonium/ thanks so much for watching and sending heaps of love and happy growing from Ireland for a MAGICAL Tuesday XXXXXX

@@davidschmidt270 haha David :-D I was going to film a video about that but sadly You Tube don't let us upload video where we mention even a hint of the 'medicinal properties of cacti, I have had quite a few of my Lophophora 'Peyote' videos removed from You Tube for no reason but just because I mention they have 'mescaline' hallucinogenic properties, the mention of it in my vids got them removed, so happy you are learning so much, thanks so much for all your wonderful support and have a wonderful plant powered Wednesday today XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon WOW that's sad..... incredibly sad....well when it comes to peyote I do have mixed feelings being a Christian and all ...but then again the natives used I for eons? ....for me personally, it's definitely a grey area I guess...I definitely could see people trying to abuse it though,sadly....well thank you for your response....sorry TH-cam erased your work but I want to say way to go on sticking it out and continuing to make your videos......keep up the great work ... guy's like me need to develop cool cactus

How do you water such a large collection? On a regular schedule? Or just go around every few days and check each plant to see if it needs water? My collection is starting to grow!
Hi Shawn :-D I usually go around every few days to check what plants are dry in their pots, I always wait until the soil has dried out before watering again, the ones in the small pots dry out faster than the ones in the larger pots, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful plant powered new week ahead XXXX
I just got a desert gem. Red. I'm looking how often to water and how to care for! 😊

Hi Lyn ,when you are watering, do you water round the plants or do you mist them.
Hi Mike :-D I water around them and in the middle at the base of them and give them all a good watering, I let the soil dry out fully in the pots before watering again :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Tuesday today XXXX
Just saw this video and it is very helpful. I was never sure about bottom watering succulents. Would you also bottom water your really full cactus pots or never bottom water a cactus? I have never done it and am leaning towards a no LOL.
So happy you found this video helpful Debra :-D I always prefer to water my cacti from the top and as close to the base of them as possible, but sometimes if we have cacti that are very overhanging it may be more practical to water them from below in the saucer, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful day XXXX

Hi, I have a moon cactus and I’ve noticed it’s become a bit squishy. Am I over watering it? It is pretty cool here and we don’t get too much sunlight.
Hi. May i ask that is it allowed to put some moisturized thing in the cactus and succulent plants? Because i heard that putting some moisturized thing in the succulent and cacti plants can be able to grow healthier. Hope you notice this question and i'm badly needed your response regarding on this.

when you get bare root cactus plants in the winter should you water them when planting? or leave the watering till spring? thank you love your channel!
So happy you love my channel :-D If getting bare root cactus plants in winter its best to pot them up in cactus soil and keep them totally dry until the Spring before watering them, but if your cacti plants are Epiphytic cacti like the Epiphyllums, or Christmas cacti etc, then it would be best to lightly water them, but if they are the Desert cacti keep them dry until the spring time :-D if you are not sure what type of cacti you have, here is a link to a video I have made on How to tell the difference between Desert Cacti and Epiphytic Cacti : th-cam.com/video/4bidqMCpBu8/w-d-xo.html Good luck with your new plants and thanks so much for your wonderful comments and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle and have a plant powered fun day ahead XXXXX

Hey Lynn, I'm getting conflicting info on Trichocereus cacti. Are they tropical (not desert), cold hardy down to 1.6C / 35 degrees F and require all day sun??? This is confusing. Thanks lady love!
Hi there, the good news is Trichocereus cacti are very cold hardy as long as they can be kept dry with no watering at all given in Winter, they can withstand 35F with no problems, they love as much sun as possible but in the Winter because they are not actively growing you can overwinter them in a bright position with less sunshine, but in Spring and Summer they love as much sun as you can give them, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Sunday XXXX

Hello
Thank you for all your wonderfull videos.It is a dream for me to see that someone is able to have so many plants and to be able to keep them alive!
I really need help.I was ofered an astrophytum for my birthday last year in june.It had a flower,I use to water it once or twice a month.Everything went well until the winter when I stopped watering it,it started to wrinkle and finally died rotting.I want to buy another one but I am afraid to see it doing the same.
I am supposed to stop watering it completly ?What did I do wrong?
Thank you
Hope to see many other videos
Good stuff. I learned a lot.

Loving your informative vids, and my growing collection! Thanks for simplifying the whole process for us newbies. My question is about the Hozelock sprayer you're using. Please could you pass on the details here for our information. Cheers! :D
Hi i have 3 nice catcus and i want to know if u increase pot size will cacti increase size
Hi Richard :-D its best to only increase the pot size just one size up from the pot it is already in, this is because repotting cacti into pots much bigger than the previous pot size can encourage the chance of root rot due to having too much soil space around their roots, cacti like to dry out fast in between waterings and its best to only repot into a pot size the next size up, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and have a wonderful plant powered new week XXXX
Hello! Thank you for the wonderful videos! I'm learning lots. You said you give the dessert cacti a good drink of water by mid March and then wait until the pot is totally dry to water again. How can you tell when a pot is "totally" dry? Thanks for your reply!
Can you help me identify the cactus/succulent you have shown in min 8:20. In the bowl - the bunch of little white ones. I have those and I'm trying to identify them. Thank you!
I've got a cactus that I got from a pound shop it started of about 2 and a half inches tall and about a inch ish round ! Its grown to about 8 inches tall but most of that growth is only about 5 mm thick ! How can I persuade it to thicken out at the top I've already re potted into a bigger pot ?? Help us both please ! :0) oh and its had lots of babies and at one point sprouted thin hair like strands out of the top of the pot / soil ! What was that stuff??
Love your videos
:)

Love it Lynnie - I got my first 3 little cacti the other day and I love them! :) that was really useful cause I was just told water every 14 days in the book I bought some plant food for them too lol. Is that recommended?? xx
+kaf2345 Hi there Kaf :-) So WONDERFUL to hear from you

Hi lyn hope your keeping well,great video as always 💚😍 quick question?I bought a small acanthocalycium cactus which I love but unsure how too care for it?i really don't want to kill it,as I said it's small/baby 🌵thanks for sharing xxxxx 💚💚💚
Hi John :-D I bet your Acanthocalycium cactus is a beauty :-D they like a cool and dry rest period from Oct tp March and ideally kept above 5c / 41F in Winter, and to be placed in a sunny position as you can give it :-D plant in a well draining cactus mix too :-D thanks so much for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a wonderful Monday and new week ahead XXXXX

I have a cactus
I have accidentally took some of the
Circles that grow spikes
And I was wondering do they grow back ?
Hi there :-) yes sometimes the spines will grow back where they have come off but not always, what will happen though is a thick skin 'Callus' will form over where the spines have come off and no harm will come to your plant :-) thanks so much for watching and sending heaps of love and happy growing from Ireland for a wonderful day XXXX
Did you ever own the Cylindropuntia fulgida ('jumping cactus') and if yes, will you do a special video regarding that because this requires care and handle for it's own?
Hi there :-) thanks so much for watching :-) I haven't got a Cylindropuntia fulgida in my collection yet but it is definitely one for my future wish list, I have heard that it can be one of the most 'lethal' ones for 'biting' us with haha! when I treat myself to one of these in the future i will make an update vid on it :-) sending you lots of love and happiness from right across the Emerald Isle for a fantastic Tuesday today XXXXX
This may be a dumb question, but does the cactus actually jump, or do you have to touch it for it to attack?
