Great stuff, even if it falls under 'You Tube Tropes' for unboxing videos! The one video I will look forward to in a few months is after your summertime to see how they have acclimated under your expert care! I'm hoping to get two new ariocarpus through their first winter here in the Northern Hemisphere. Good luck to us both!
Just looked up Yucca rostrata, not familiar with that one, I have the common green yucca in the garden. It’s called the Beaked Yucca, tree like with lots of long spiny leaves, and yes it gets huge. I was surprised to read it is hardy in the US to Zone 5, since I’m in zone 7a I would like to try one. ( lower number zones cold, higher ones warm) I love learning about plants that are new to me! 🤗
Ooh ooh such good stuff …oh sorry don’t want to get your pressure up, nice and calm. What lovely plants you got Michael, it is fun to see your anticipation and then appreciation, nice! 🤗 🌵 BTW what is the fruit to your left in the Greencube, possibly a young pomegranate? 🤔
It was a lot of fun to record! Nothing quite as exciting as a pomegranate.. just a plain old lemon tree behind me. Keeps getting hard pruned as I build more structures 😂
Looks like Christmas morning of memories from childhood. That pachypodium Christmas tree has a few years to grow. Especially into the silver and aluminium one we had for many seasons. Need some extreme GMO to grow that.
Hello Michael. I hope you’re feeling better. Fantastic haul. Incidentally, I’m just about to sow some Ariocarpus seeds for the first time, maruibo and cauliflower. Apprehensive… what method did you use? I’m planing on using the old trusty “baggy” approach. Also, please tell me more about those German pots!
Thank you! Yeah, for cacti seeds I just use the baggie method. As for the pots, do a google search for Greenlink GMBH, they’re the company that makes them.
Hi your videos and all your knowledge on plants is amazing. Always enjoy watching. I see you have a bloodpressure cuff on do you have a heart or bloodpressure problem?
@AridZine oh no I hope you get better soon. I once had high blood pressure problems but is better now mine was caused by Covid 19 in 2021. You can maybe eat some beatroot this plant helps with high bloodpresure . The other thing that helped me was some lemon juice water with a bit of sugar🙂
!!!! Watching this just reminded me to go check on my dragonfruit seedlings! My visiting parent moved them ("Plants in the kitchen are not hygenic.") and now I don't see them to coddle them. ...Phew. they're OK. Staking needed, but OK. ...But that is *not* where I put that other cactus, and now it's not happy. 😩 Well-meaning people are not always good for plants.
Hi there - your comment got me researching, because I trust the grower where these plants come from, but it always pays to check. That led me to the botanic description of lealii, which states “leaves tomentose” - tomentose meaning “covered in fine hairs.” I will of course continue to monitor the leaves to be sure though!
I like the pots with the drainage features! I have my eye on something similar but more stout for my echeverias.
This was a fun video!!
They’re really cool pots hey… I’ll be interested to see how the plants grow in them

Yes good luck! I will certainly be doing an update… I’m just about to revisit the big caudex haul from a few months back too
Like an excited little boy on christmas day opening presents
Haha yep, that’s me 😂😂
Thats my type of unboxing! And good luck with your health man
Thank you! Appreciate it
Michael hope you feel better soon! Looking forward to many more of your videos! 🌵🌵🌵
Thank you! Should be good 👍

So do I! This was a new one for me, too.
Absolutely gorgeous plants. Take care of your health. You are currently my favorite channel. Happy New Year.
Appreciate it! 🤘🤘

This was super awesome! Best of luck with the newcomers.
Thanks! Appreciate it 🤘🤘
Great video. Thanks for all the tips that you always drop while you are talking.
Thanks Bill
i had one of those 24 hour monitors a couple months ago, they're a pain to sleep with! all the best
Tell me about it! No good. Cheers
Very cool
Thanks!
nice scores. theres a chunky saundersii here for sale here on marketplace for $300 , i like it but im not sure on the price tag
Ooh $300 - yeah you could no doubt get a smaller one a lot cheaper
@ like yourself , happy to start from seed , in for the journey. So seed is on its way 😀
interested to see what that yucca does.
So am I! Never seen a yucca given bonsai treatment 😳
Looks like Christmas morning of memories from childhood. That pachypodium Christmas tree has a few years to grow. Especially into the silver and aluminium one we had for many seasons. Need some extreme GMO to grow that.
Haha yeah, it’ll be a slow burn… but that’s half the fun 😃
The rostrata is very cold tolerant and gets huge over time especially planted in ground.
Interesting! I’ll be interested to see how it goes in bonsai form.

Oh yes, tell me about it. Mercifully doesn’t happen much to me anymore.. but I feel the frustration!
Huge content. Thanks brotha
Appreciate it! 🤘🤘
Nice video.
Many many thanks
Very cool
Thank you!
Hello, I'm Brazilian and I watch your videos. Unfortunately this one doesn't have TH-cam subtitles.
Hmmm that’s weird! I didn’t do anything different. I will try to figure out what happened.
Thank you very much. I fell in love with caudex plants and some euphorbias because of your channel. Before, I only cared about cacti hahah Good job!
damn . if an unboxing can excite you what can it do to mere motals. lol
Haha what can I say… plants are exciting
I dont think that lealii, true lealii leaves dont have fur. Let see when they got full leaves

In Latin "i" is pronounced as written, not "ai"😉
The more you know! I’ve got no doubt I butcher heaps of these names 😂
