I love you cactus garden ❤. It looks beautiful like my aloe vera garden. I have more than 50 large aloe vera plants. Today I got 2 cactus🌵 pads and would love to start a big garden for cactus. By end of this year I should have atleast 30 plants..
Yep, that's how I do my beaver tails. Although I do use regular soil until I can't get a good amount of dessert soil mix. I use four inch pots to start mine and put them in a watering try under a T-5 grow light for winter and add water to the tray when needed.
Thanks for this video. I had two nice looking cacti plants. My daughter wanted to surprise me ny helping me weed my garden. She pulled them up. Omg. I went to the market to get more. I am having trouble getting them to root. I tried to water propagate them. I will try soil.
I love your garden! 😍 Thank you for sharing how to propagate prickly pear cactus. I ordered some pads online and I’m hoping to make my own cactus garden. How long did it take for your cactus to grow so large? So beautiful 🤩
What gloves are you using to handle them? I bought some that were suppose to prevent pricking and within the first 5 minutes, I was getting pricked through the gloves.
Have you any idea on the different species available. What fertilizers can be used and how much water do they need per plant? How much time does it take to be a fully grown plant? I will be grateful for the info. I am planning to grow the fleshy type.
@@VivaLasVeggies yea from the prickly pear jelly and syrup can be made, from the pads after the spines and glochids removed can also be made into jelly but I would use the prickly pear fruit I seen someone say they made a jelly with the pads, and added a berry for flavor. You can find recipes for food and some drinks using the cactus they have to be nopales type.
Viva,we moved to Rio Rico AZ 2016. We have 4 GIANT Prickly Pear cactus,about 12-15 ft each. Do I water or wait for monsoons to to their job? Thank you,Brian
I m in Marrakish and they have plenty here, I was kindly given 3, 4 pads to regrow in the UK. Do they need cover in frosty weather? Help please How much water they need?
Deeba RS they don’t need much water probably less there since it doesn’t get to hot? Here in the desert cab get pretty hot high 115. I water once a week and sometimes I even skip a week. It does get pretty cold here in the winter low thirties and I have never covered them. I suppose you can cover them though.
With dragon fruit, they suggest the cutting to callous over before planting so the wound does not rot in wet soil. Is that process not necessary for prickly pear?
john mazzola it depends how big and thick the pads I use. I like to use big mature pads when propagating so it’s strong and sturdy when it gets new growth.
I have discovered that letting them callus is best. Doing so, all my cuttings have survived 😊 before when I didn’t, many wouldn’t make it. And callus happens fast! Three days to a week.
Can anyone tell me what species of cactus the one shown in the video is? I know it's opuntia somethin but that's all I know. It's a very beautiful cactus with large thick pads that I would want in my yard. Any info would help!
After cutting it is advisable to leave them to heal the cut portion over (callous) to allow the skin to grow over like a bandage. It reduces rot after planting. Just leave the cut portions to lay out in a dry shady area.. indoors or under a tree where the sun won't blast them and where water and soil won't get on the fresh wound. Leave them there for a week to ten days... they'll 'hold' that way for months too as long as they stay dry.
Garden love I most definitely eat them! I like to cook them our use them in smoothies. But I only use all the new growth pads, those are the best for eating. Mature ones are a lot more bitter and lots of work cleaning them.
I live here in baltimore, md.. it gets very cold my catus grows very slow, I planted it in a tree trunk.. what could I do now tge weather is breaking to get it to bloom better and get taller.. it just dirt around it.. I have yet to put sand or anything..
Hello, I`m also in Las Vegas...a friend of mine gave me a Nopal from her Mom`s garden . I don`t do to well with Cactus , Do you recommend to plant in the ground or keep in the bucket ? As you know...Vegas in very dry, how often do you water ? THX
juicefusaro if you keep it in a bucket make sure to add rocks on the bottom of the bucket so it has good drainage. Cactus needs very little water. You can water every two weeks.
Thats a great idea i hate wasting them when I prune.. I have bought some varieties from EBay for like $10 for 5 small cactus pads. Best of luck good video.
Life Hypnotic Absolutely! You harvest the pads when they are young and thin. That’s the best time to eat them. You can eat them raw or cooked. Of course you need to make sure to remove all the needles fist. I used a thin knife to scrap them off 😊
Nope. I just trimmed back all my cactus plants. They were huge! I filled up two trash bins. Next time ill let you know and you can have some. They grow fast!
You're building a business there, if you love cactus you should look to another kind of actus in Mexico we have tunas, not nopal tunas, and pitallas...
The Pitayas I grew up with (in north-western Mexico and Arizona) are the best, but they are produced by saguaros..... huge cactus, many, many years to grow!

I learned two really good tips from your video: cut them right at the very, very base; and use rocks steady them up straight. Thanks!
I wish I had cacti like that in my house. Magnificent beauty 😍❤️
Beautiful i love the desert plant look
This lady knows a thing or 2 about 🌵. Glad I found this video!
Remisworldd Beats Aw....Thank you for watching ☺️
those are the most beautiful and perfect cacti I have ever seen!!!!!
Amber Davis Aw Thank You! ☺️❤️
Rocks on top of soil also help hold in moisture and cool the roots. Ancient Puebloan gardening method.
And probably ‘thermal mass’ to help with cold once the sun goes down.
I loved your cactos. Good job.

U r so good girl
Hola, me gustan mucho tus videos, y esos nopales tambien!!...tu puedes vender unas pencas? :)...saluditos!
Big farm of cactus really amazing
awesome!!! you just helped me sooooooooooo much!!! thank you my friend
Amazing and beautiful plants. Do you feed them anything ?
And do you know if Nopales will grow in areas that get snow ?
Do you sell seeds? I like the plant, I have opuntia dulce...it's 3 now I would like to use for food n friut syrup.
samantha nicholson No seeds from this cactus. That’s wonderful! Never knew you could make syrup
from them 😀
@@VivaLasVeggies yea from the prickly pear jelly and syrup can be made, from the pads after the spines and glochids removed can also be made into jelly but I would use the prickly pear fruit I seen someone say they made a jelly with the pads, and added a berry for flavor.

Thank you,Brian
Brian Stolarski hi Brian! You can water very little. After monsoons come around it will take care of it for a while 😊
Thank you,I need to take them down a bit and start some potted.
Do you ever sell pieces? I bought a few paddles from amazon still waiting to see what I get but yours looks like what I’m after.
What kind of soil did you use.. just garden soil or store bought
su001 native soil. Desert soil 😊
The scientific name for a beavertail cactus is "Opuntia basilaris"
Thanks
Good cut
I m in Marrakish and they have plenty here, I was kindly given 3, 4 pads to regrow in the UK. Do they need cover in frosty weather? Help please
How much water they need?
Deeba RS they don’t need much water probably less there since it doesn’t get to hot? Here in the desert cab get pretty hot high 115. I water once a week and sometimes I even skip a week. It does get pretty cold here in the winter low thirties and I have never covered them. I suppose you can cover them though.
I noticed the you did not let the pads scab over. Is that because of the kind of dirt you used?
I think she played the neighbor on Home Improvement. Never quite see her face. Just a hat.
How much water do they need after you planting
You must have to make so many soil amendments to grow anything other than cactus.
Epetra Compost! 😊
I have plenty cactus but the problem all died. The middle is rooted. I don't know how to care.
With dragon fruit, they suggest the cutting to callous over before planting so the wound does not rot in wet soil. Is that process not necessary for prickly pear?
You should let the wound callus over with most any cacti before planting it in order to avoid rotting
Will the pad you plant get bigger or just grow new pads? Im trying to figure out how to get it big and strong so it will grow tall with los of pads?
john mazzola it depends how big and thick the pads I use. I like to use big mature pads when propagating so it’s strong and sturdy when it gets new growth.
I live in Las Vegas, I’ve got two kinds of opuntia, and I’ve been searching for some with pads that size. Could I pay you to get a cutting? Thank you.
I’ll be cutting up some pads soon for sell! Please message me your number so I can contact you when I’m ready 😊 Thank You!
Justin Gagliardi you can have some!
@@VivaLasVeggies BEAUTIFUL plants!!
I'm UPS driver Mike from orange county...
do you want to sell any pads?
Thank you
(714) 420-8063
Are you able to ship some pads within the USA?
VivaLasVeggies ugh of course! I see this now! I moved to Georgia 2 years ago to buy a small homestead! Hope you are well!
Great video! Update on these plants please.
Thank You! and yes I will totally be doing an update soon!! :D
How did you get them so big ❤️❤️❤️❤️please help me I’m from Florida
If ever you get any info, please share.
Tori&Stephanie Silhouette Family Trimming them back.
You don't have to wait for them to calus over??
I have discovered that letting them callus is best. Doing so, all my cuttings have survived 😊 before when I didn’t, many wouldn’t make it. And callus happens fast! Three days to a week.
I was wondering the same thing. I received some from a friend, can't wait to grow them.
What is the name of this cactus?
Maria Niña Maglahus Indian Fig Cactus 😊
nice cactus do you give out soil for people kind of soil I have not good for my uptunia I ordered to difernt kinds of cactus pads on ebay
Chris Hauser give out soil? I use the native soil.
What is the name of this cactus? I would love to buy some for my home.
Jim Davis it’s an Indian fig cactus 😊
@@VivaLasVeggies Thank you very much for the info. I found some on Etsy for sale. Can't wait to get them ordered and planted.

cactus is a good product for hair..
Oh! How do you use it? Thank You for commenting.
you can make a shampoo out of it! been looking for a plant to grow here.
Im interesting im buy a pad do you sell them?
Why does your dirt look like sand , and not like soil ?
Hello! Im actually using native soil (desert dirt) it’s what the cactus was growing in 😊
I wanted to start planting opuntia can i order a pad to you and ship it to philippines if possible huhu i want to have a garden like yours
How deep do you plant them? Can you hydro grow roots then plant them?
Lupe Ibarra For bigger pieces I plant them almost more than half the cacti pad. For smaller pieces not so deep maybe a few inches or more 😊
is this OPUNTIA FICUS INDICA ?
Awesome garden!
Thank You :)
Can anyone tell me what species of cactus the one shown in the video is? I know it's opuntia somethin but that's all I know. It's a very beautiful cactus with large thick pads that I would want in my yard. Any info would help!
Audi Gutierrez its an Indian Fig Cactus.
Did you let them callus before putting them in soil?
OH! :O Nope...please share how? Thank You
VivaLasVeggies it's Allways recommended to let the wound heal dry before planting to prevent rot
After cutting it is advisable to leave them to heal the cut portion over (callous) to allow the skin to grow over like a bandage. It reduces rot after planting.
Just leave the cut portions to lay out in a dry shady area.. indoors or under a tree where the sun won't blast them and where water and soil won't get on the fresh wound. Leave them there for a week to ten days... they'll 'hold' that way for months too as long as they stay dry.
Both ways are ok for these type of cactus
Those are amazing! great Job! what do you do with so many? love it! I just started growing some. I esnt them to eat. Do you eat them?
Garden love I most definitely eat them! I like to cook them our use them in smoothies. But I only use all the new growth pads, those are the best for eating. Mature ones are a lot more bitter and lots of work cleaning them.
Do these ones have spines? I found something similar but it has tiny spines that get everywhere
new & improved 305 yes! Is that what those pokey fuzzy things are called!? Lol. They do get everywhere 😬
Is that a rubber duck
Tiktok Unofficial yup tiny ducky
Nice

Todas i learned a Lot of, thank you

Ty...appreciate the help !!
juicefusaro Cactus is one of the easiest plants to grow you simply put it anywhere and iit will grow -- don't water it
How long does it take for fruit to grow from a catus pad? cheers
Emanuela Davis I noticed the fruit when my cactus plants were a bit mature. I get them all the time now every year. They are really tasty! Thanks 😊
VivaLasVeggies is it the tunas?
This kind of cactus can start to flower and have fruit the next year after planting, depending on its environment.
Yes, tunas are the fruit.
Also known as ‘Prickly Pears’.... makes great jam.
Well done but what in the world are you gonna do with so many.?
MrGonzales1982 I gave most away to family and friends 😊 thinking about start selling them too 😀
Thats a great idea i hate wasting them when I prune.. I have bought some varieties from EBay for like $10 for 5 small cactus pads. Best of luck good video.
I just brought 2 cactus pads from the store but they are cold so they were refrigerated, do you think it is possible to grow them? thanks.
I am not sure you can always try it and see what happens :D
MikiCuriel I've seen your comment on every video 😂
Is this an edible cactus?
Life Hypnotic Absolutely! You harvest the pads when they are young and thin. That’s the best time to eat them. You can eat them raw or cooked. Of course you need to make sure to remove all the needles fist. I used a thin knife to scrap them off 😊
can you tell me the name of this type of cactus plant please?
weather report Indian fog cactus
Hi can i get some if you dont mind i will pay for shipping.
Thank you!
Why so many? Do you use them or sell them?
Emma Gartlan I like to give them away when I can. But I mostly throw them away. I usually do a huge trimming once or twice a year. They grow fast!
Hi, Do you sell the leaves? I`d be interested in buying some.
Nope. I just trimmed back all my cactus plants. They were huge! I filled up two trash bins. Next time ill let you know and you can have some. They grow fast!
ok...Thank you
Why do you trim it back, does it help it branch out more?
HakunaMatata it does branch out more but I do it so it doesn't get huge and take up to much space in my front yard.
I'm going to ask my neighbor for some leaves, do you think they'll root in the winter? I'm in Zone 9A central CA
Nice strong legs
What will you do so many addtional cactus plants ?
Manuel Diez I will keep some and give the rest away to friends and family :)
Thanks. I wish you would post an update showing us how they look now. Thanks again
how long do they take to grow ? Can they take real cold weather since its cold hardy and can you come give me a hand ? lol
bob s They grow pretty fast and handle cold weather very well.
exweled the video
I couldn’t live next to so many neighbors
those cactus look very nice, hopefully mine look like that in the future! any special care?
Thank You. And nope no special care just make sure you don't over water. They don't need much water at all :)
VivaLasVeggies thanks
