The bench is for mini-Carmen to chill in during rainy days :-) Love this collection! I have two euphoria lactea cristata (one is a grafted coral cactus and another full grown elkhorn) and I think they are show-stoppers hahah!
Hi Carmen, Love you❤Your succulents are gorgeous💚 Rosie is a sweetie pie😍I love your channel About a week ago I brought 5 unpotted succulents from The Succulent box online shop I thought I order potted plants, the order came with soil, mini terra cotta pots and of cause the plants. This is a new plant journey with succulents for me!
You can do it Denise! Just be mindful of watering, especially now that we're headed into Winter. Make sure they get some morning sun and bright indirect light. Good luck!
Hi! Was that Talavera pottery with the old man cactus? It's so colorful.Talavera is beautiful but so expensive. You have a great collection of exotic cacti.
Enjoy the video as usual...love all of the unique Cacti’s. Not sure if the medusa could of have been in that number but I tell you I were looking for it. Have a blessed week. 💗
Funny you should say that about the Medusa! I had it in my hand when I was picking plants and I set it down, because I thought that I had just shared that one.
I have several Eve's needles, and I love them! I'm moving toward all succulents because I don't have good luck with a lot plants. Thank you for sharing your collection.
Hi Carmen! You know I’m always watching but if you talk about cactus, I’m here to cheer as well! 😉☕️☕️ I love everything that you showed. That euphorbia crested is gorgeous and the Eve’s needle is so big! I have the regular type that I’ve been keeping in a small pot for years because I am preventing it from growing so fast. Thanks for showing your “weird” collection, Carmen.
Impressive plants. I want that euphorbia. It's probably a slow grower. I've been propagating euphorbia for quite some time and it is not growing as fast as my other succulents. I still like it but it's slooooow.
💚 Not a fan of cacti or succulents but that last one, evils needle for some reason reminds me of a stalagmite without the green colour of course. Weird huh!
I love hearing you talk about your plants. You are able to express your appreciation and love to them with your attention to all their details. You made me think about buying a cactus :)
Carmen I love your quirky, unusual plants💚anything wonky and out of the ordinary is fir me💚😂So hard to pick a favorite, but old man is up there🙌and the crested lactea🤩
You can find some doozies there! The big crested Eve's Needles I found on the clearance rack for $5! I think that's one of my best buys! Thanks for stopping by Tinamarie!
I love ming things. I have a tiny one! The caterpillar one is super cool too. I've not seen anything like that anywhere but your channel. And that eve's needle! Stunning.
Re-watching a great video of interesting succulents and thinking of you, Carmen. Miss your wonderful informative videos. Hope you're well. Blessings and love. Sherry 🥰 🙏 💞 🪴
I love the Eve’s needle it looks like a under the sea coral THANKS FOR SHARING. I don’t own any Cactus but I am getting very curious I think I want one to start😊 💚 🌵
Carmen,,,thank you for sharing your awesome cacti collection and opening my eyes to more species, lol Yours are so healthy. I love eves needles❣️🌵 And we all have a little damage on our bodies, lol. Hi Rosie Girl💕
Hi Carmen, I've been away from TH-cam for a short time. Trying to catch up with my favorite youtubers. You are definitely on my list. I really enjoy watching your videos. You are so informative and relaxing . Thanks for sharing !!!😊🤣
I'm just getting into cactus/succulents and I happened to come across this video while researching. Your passion shows through the video and you have such a calming /pleasant demeanor that made me feel completely relaxed ! Thanks for sharing your plants
Wonderful. May I ask what zone you are in? I just finished my first year in central valley of California. Hotter in Summer and cooler in Winter than I am use to, bay area. I am worried about cactus outside in Winter...
I can only hope that we have the kind of weather here that requires an umbrella! Southeastern PA did not have a great summer last year..... It’s always good to hear from you and get new ideas...
Is there a guide for putting succulents in groups that has the same water requirements. I have lost and replanted so many and yet I keep trying from shape of pots ,to measuring the water . I have the in draing pots then placed back on stand I. Been doing this for a little over a year
Usually if you put the same type of succulents together (i.e. echeverias with echeverias) that will help. But, I still use a moisture meter to make sure that pot is dry and then I water.
Hello Carmen. Do you bring any of your cactus inside or provide protection outside if you leave them. I am also in Chandler Az. Thanks. Love your vids ♥️
Not during winter. If we do get a frost warning, I cover my plants with some old bed sheets. I do give them protection in the Summer from the sun with a patio umbrella. You know this past Summer was horrible with the heat, so I did bring in my more sensitive succulents.
Wow! Lovely cacti collection! That Eve's Needle is stunning. I love the older cacti with sun damage, they look like they just walked in off the desert. Thanks for this wonderful video.
Love, love, love those cacti, Carmen! I have a handful of em too. Whenever I run across one, they always remind me of the inhabitants of the Island of Misfit Toys, just hoping and wishing someone, somewhere will adopt em - and I can relate, you know? - so I take em home with me! 😀
The bench is for mini-Carmen to chill in during rainy days :-) Love this collection! I have two euphoria lactea cristata (one is a grafted coral cactus and another full grown elkhorn) and I think they are show-stoppers hahah!
Oh, I bet the look magnificent! I do need to find a little fairy with curly black hair to put on that bench!
enjoyed this video so much Carmen! Love all of the quirky oddballs!
They can be so much fun and especially when you're searching for them. Thanks so much for visiting!
I love the old man cactus and all fuzzy cacti! Although I will say 1inch a year is defiantly a ... commitment 😅🌵
Yeah, I won't be doing any time lapse on those for sure!
I love that first one and the euphorbia that’s grafted! So cool Carmen!
Thank you Stef! I appreciate your stopping by, have a great week.

Cacti are the coral of the desert, or maybe coral are the cacti of the sea.

Bonjour Carmen, jolie collection !! Merci pour ton partage
What is that big variegated plant on the floor by the door behind you? It looks beautiful.
That is a Philodendron Burle Marx. It isn't variagated, it may have been the light that made it look that way. He is a beauty though!
Carmen I love your quirky, unusual plants💚anything wonky and out of the ordinary is fir me💚😂So hard to pick a favorite, but old man is up there🙌and the crested lactea🤩
The old man cactus is so deceiving because you want to pet it and then "Ouch!"
😂right? The fuzzies are not so warm and fuzzy

Hi Carmen, They are truly all beautiful, are any hard to find other then the Eve’s needles crostata . You have a great day👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No they're not Margaret. All of them I found at big box stores. You just have to look a little harder. Sometimes there's only one in the batch.
I love 😍 all the unusual plants! Thanks for sharing. 🥰
I have one of the crested eves needle and I’m amazed how much it’s grown in 6 month. Didn’t know it would get that big so fast.
Yes! It's one of my fastest growing cacti. Amazing!
Hi Carmen. I was just wondering where you bought the plant stand that is behind you? And I love your cacti collection.
The shelving unit I got on Amazon. Fairly easy to put together. Thanks so much for watching!

No, I don't have a Mermaid Cactus, but yes, they are very cool.
The caterpillar one is so cool looking! And I love pink tips on the Cristana 😍
Thanks Sarah! They are definitely unique.

Hi Carmen! The last one is gorgeous!!
Thank you! 😊
Love them all!❤
I love your Eves needle.

@@carmenwhitehead thank you Carmen ♥️
I too love the unusual plants of all kinds.
I found a apple cactus the size of my fist at Lowe's. Did you say yours is fine in full sun?
Yes, mine gets morning sun and afternoon shade.
Thank you for describing beautifully the plants, their growth and their colour, very helpful for someone who doesn't have that kind of plant.
Love that colorful pot that the Oldmen are living in!!
That's called Talavera Pottery. It's hand painted from Mexico.
Eve’s pin. I have them too.
