I love all if your videos. Your face lights up when you're holding your plants and that always makes me smile.
Thank you!! 😊🌿
i never understood why people who are into "foliage" aren't into succulents. succulent leaves have colors that can't be found anywhere else in nature -- like pastel pinks, purples, pearl, etc. also, so many of them look like friggin flowers?? unsure how that's not a selling point for succs
anyway, great video! super jealous of your tomentosa ♡ it's so compact and lovely
Agree! I'm definitely a foliage flower kind of person and I adore succulents, some of them grow so quickly!
@@Thisiskoko104 for sure! and I love that so many varieties propagate so easily too~ quite literally set em and forget em
@@milkrabbits So true! I just got a bunch of wee babies in the mail today and one of them is already producing it's own babies! It's like 6 weeks old!
poloma main lol I’m not into them because I kill them every time!!! Too heavy handed with the water!!🤪
I totally agree!! Thank you 😊🌿
That string of hearts is stunning!! What a great collection! Thanks for all the information as well 😊
Thank you!!! ☺️🌱
“But I absolutely love succulents and cacti”
* hold up the most foliagie succulents 😂
Love you Nick❤️
😅😅😅
A little info about your "Fairy Castle". It's not an Acanthocereus at all but a Cereus. It was once described as Cereus tetragonus and people just assumed C. tetragonus and A. tetragonus was the same species.
I know people like me who correct names can be boring but I thinknit's very important for this name for two reasons:
-Both genera and species live in a very different setup, your's is a desert cactus and Acanthocereus is a humid coastal environment and they need very different care. It cannmislead people and since cacti are pretty expensives it always hurt to kill them.
-The "Real" Acanthocereus tetragonus is a very interesting easy and fast growing plant, closely related to Hylocereus and also cultivated for it's "pitaya" fruits. But it's completly "hidden" on search engines and discussion group by the "fairy castle"
I can't wait to see what you end up doing with the rhipsalis ☺️
Thanks for all your informative videos. I love unique, unusual plants and I always find more from you, so thank you!
Thank you!!! 🌿😊
Very interesting cacti and succlients are my favorite house plants
Love succulents garden ❤️🌵🐞
I luv how well versed you are in all plants
Thank you ☺️
If you spray the silver dollar plant with orchid food spray once a week it will grow faster! These kinds of plants - also dischidias and hoyas - like the nitrogen on their leaves. I got this info from another Hoya rope grower on YT when mine wasn’t growing at all for months and I tried it with the others mentioned and worked like a charm! 😀👍
Love your variegated string of hearts! It’s on my wish list foe spring! 💕
Such a rewarding plant to grow!!
I just got the Selenicereus Chrysocardium too. Just a little thing; it's not the Fishbone cactus; it's known as the Fern leaf cactus. The Fishbone cactus is Selenicereus Anthonyanus. And apparently the Ric-Rac cactus is another one again. Quite the confusing array! I love the chryso though, such delicate leaves compared to the other two; thinner and more wide.
I was going to comment to the same thing, that's a surprise fernleaf cactus instead, Nick! I found a huge one last year in the dusty corner of an older greenhouse in my city, mislabeled as a fishbone cactus, and I snapped that sucker up. Such a rewarding plant, a fast grower and easy going and so beautiful (I am not a person to name plants but I always think of Lizzo when looking at mine, such a majestic bitch). Enjoy that plant!
Thank you for the reminder of plants that are Summer dormant.
Of course! I would like to do a video one day
The sticks plant would look cool in one of those head planters. Long green hair! 😊
That’s a great idea!! 😊💇♀️
I enjoy your videos so very much! You keep us informed on affordable, overlooked beautiful plants. Thanks~
Thank you!! 🌿☺️
I really love your channel, you are so informative, thank you! 💚🙃
Thank you!!! ☺️🌿
So happy to see this video, its hard to find plant channels that talk about succulents. They deserve love too! Also you have a lovely collection! My favorite succulent is Stringy stonecrop (Sedum sarmentosum) I actually found some in my yard and brought some settings indoors to propagate, it has shown me so much love and grown like crazy!
I’ll have to keep an eye out for that one :)
I absolutely love your fairy castle cactus!!! I’ve been looking for one about your size for so long! No luck yet, but yours is gorgeous!! 💕
Definitely check Ikea!! I see them in their cactus selection
Well, I’m glad I watched this video....I’ve had a Rhipsalis Baccifera for years now and did not know it’s name. It is a hearty grower. Another great video🤩🤩
Thank you! It’s such a fun plant!
Really enjoyed that video. My fairy castle is about 7 years old now and is also doing amazing in a glass bowl, my daughter planted it when she was little lol. My variegated string of hearts has loads of cute little blooms, they like little pink flower vases.Sending big hugs from the U.K.🌱🌵
Thank you!! 🌿☺️
Very beautiful plants!
Thank you!!
i finally got my hands on a pot of senecio macroglossus variegatus this weekend!! i’ve been on the lookout for them for months because of your videos lol i’m excited to watch it grow!!
Yay!! It’s such a vigorous grower!!
The peperomia graveolens is on my wish list and can’t find it anywhere! All the sellers seem to be out of stock. Great video on succulents and cacti. I have succulents, cacti and tropical houseplants. Love the variety.
Hi Nick! I really like all of the succulents and cacti that you chose as your favorites! I don't have any of them, but several are now on my wish list, especially the Rhipsalis baccifera var. and the Ceropegia linearis subsp. woodii "Variegata". Also, I have seen the Fairy Cactus and think they are so cute, so thank you for mentioning that they are "less harmful" than other spiny cacti. I may have to get one of them now. Thank you, again, for another fun and informative video! As always, I love it when I see a new video of yours! BTW, I agree, if it's not broke, don't fix it! You're obviously doing something right! Sorry, but I forgot to say that I think the Rhipsalis would look really unique mounted. Can't wait to see what you decide to do with it. Please share!
Thanks sandy! Still mulling over what I’d like to do with that rhipsalis :)
I especially liked this video because I grow many succulents and it was fun to see your favorites. If I ever see the Senecio macroglossus media picta, I will be sure to get one. You sold me on that one and it does have pretty foliage.
One of my favorite plants :)
Cacti are a fave! spines dont bother me, get some stick in my skin sometimes but I just think they are so amazing and weird and youv got to wonder how they do it hah.
Love your videos, your plants are beautiful. ☺️
Thank you!! ☺️🌿
I love kalanchoe too 🥰🥰
love your vids, Nick! ♡
Thank you!!
For the life of me I've never been able to keep any senecio nor any ceropegia 😕 I might give the macroglossus a try though, so gorgeous!
I laughed a your apologies to your Fairy Castle in a glass container! I've been growing most of my desert cactus that way for decades now and they have thrived! I love glass and cactus look so nice in it. Whenever one of my cactus starts to shrivel and pucker I water it. A little water, let it percolate to the bottom, check the next day and if it's still puckered water a bit more. Repeat until your cactus is all plumped up. It might take 3 or 4 days but if you do that then you will not overwater your desert cacti, even in glass or glassed pots.
Great tips, thank you!!
Happy Holidays Nick!
Thank you!!
Very nice Nick, I love succulents, I currently don't have any cacti for the very reason I hate getting poked, even though there are a few that I really love the look of them, I just have gotten the spines stuck in my fingers and they are super hard to remove, well actually I have an aloe, a haworthia, and two rhipsalis' and a string of hearts, so I guess I do have cacti, just not the pokey ones. I love the sececio that mimicks the ivy, I refuse to buy ivy because they get spider mites or mealy bugs super easy, and I have tried growing ivy a few times, but I am done with them, I just need to get me one of these senicos, that would satisfy that urge to grow an ivy. I do want the variegated string of hearts, the regular green version I got as 5 single leaf cuttings so tiny, and three of the cuttings are rooted and have grown 8 to 12 inches in less than six months, it's got some long trails and as soon as they get a little longer and bigger I will propagate a couple and make a fuller plant. Thanks so much Nick I love your videos so much, and I get so much inspiration and many ideas on more wish list plants, lol.
Thanks Holly!! Haha I’m always super careful working around the cacti in the shop 😅
Fairy castle is the one cactus I really, really want!!! I need.
I wish I could give u some I have too many fairy castles , most are from propagation To improve it's column shape , I don't like throwing away the cuttings I always try to grow so I end up having to many babies hahahaha
@@blurryfaceboi2642 That would be so cool!! You could say there is never too much where plants are concerned! ( :
I live in the sonoran desert now (grew up in Philly) and have become enamored of desert plants. Euphorbs, Cacti, Aloes. Real sculptural things. Most will grow fine in Philly. Just not in winter. Anyhow I'm binge watching your channel. Did you catch the plant show this year? I miss home so much.
I go every year ☺️ I’m very excited for this upcoming show!!
My ruby glow is currently flowering. You’re totally right it does smell like doritos/nacho cheese! It’s not super strong though, I have to get my nose right up on it to smell it.
Haha it’s such a specific smell 😅
Hey Nick, it was very nice to meet you at urban garden in November. :) Awesome video again! BTW when will be a good time to visit the plant shop again. Really looking to get a ZZ Zenzi and ZZ raven. Happy Holiday!
ughhh drooling over your string of hearts too!!
Thanks so much for coming by!!! I would say to wait until spring when it warms up ... then I can bring in a lot more plants. Other wise Valentine’s Day I will have a lot of nice plants
Cacti can be fine in glass you did good with the Gravel on the bottom it will be the drainage and if your careful not to over water it's all good... Tera cotta unglased is best but you need to water more often at times
Really nice video :)
Thanks!! 🌿
succulents are my favourite, peperomia graveolens is in flower at my home and to me it stinks of rat's urine:)) i love your panda plant and string of hearts
Haha! Yeah I can see (or smell) that!! 😅
With your Rhipsalis, u should be artsy and do a face on ur terra cotta pot lol it would look funky!
Hahaha that’s a great idea! One of Group Partner’s face pots would be perfect!!
I did click on this vid tho to see more cacti but nice plants anyway.
@Nick Pileggi You've said that you use perlite for drainage. I had bad experience with perlite since instead letting the water pass thru the soil it wast actually stopping it. Water just sticks to it and it did so much that it grow algae.
Ps. I envy your collection.
That sounds like vermiculite!
♥️♥️♥️ your cacti and succulent video! I live in Arizona and have tons of cacti!
How do you propagate the senecio macroglossus ?
I just got one and am fascinated by its succulent leaves!
MTeam Five It’s easy to propagate. Just cut off a vine, chop off a couple of leaves near where you cut and pop it in water. I just did it and it rooted nice and quickly- it is summer here though.
⬆️⬆️ exactly that! Very easy :) Thank you!!
My ruby glow is not happy this month, I m in kingman az so th weather is still nice 70s .should it growing t this time of year? I just got a nice site size fish tail for only 19.99 at my local nursery. I enjoyed your video
AGAIN, new subscriber, are you still in Philly? Do you have a store??? I am just totally freaking out!
I've a Ceropegia woodii variegata since a few month, do they have the pinkish leaf undersurface if they grow older, or are there different types? Mine looks just common beneath the leaves, it's a variegated version, tho.
I think it depends on how much light they get, but mine has definitely gotten more pink over time
My fav succulent is cotyledon pendens hahhaah!!
Cotyledons are awesome ☺️
Hey love your videos
What can you tell me about the orchid cactus
I saw one .. nerdy succulent looking
Thanks! They like a lot of light but not as much as a typical cactus. I water them typically when they just start to pucker
Oh wow If you made a favourite pink plants video id be forever grateful
I love that idea! I will definitely make one :)
Oh dang I’m about to buy a bunch of houseplants 😂😂😂
Funny thing i noticed in my rhypsalis baccifera is that if it doesn't get enough light the stems start growing up and whole plant begins to look more like a bunch of tentacles
Haha that’s interesting!!
I love my panda plant, but for some reason his leaves curl. He seems happy otherwise 🤔
Mine does too Linda, the leaves curl downwards. I even emailed Altman Plants, the grower of the one I bought. He said that I probably wasn't giving it enough light. I have it on my south window sill but it doesn't seem to be helping. The new top growth is now long and leggy. So I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Love those fuzzy leaves though.
Nick's is beautiful, so lush and full.
Sounds like either a light or watering issue! Seems like it could either use more of one or the other perhaps
Is the fairy castle a slow or fast grower?
I want to get a fish tail sooo bad. But yes, it is out of my budget. Suggestions for a good vender?🙂
I would check if Pepper’s Greenhouse sells them on their online store!
Hit subscribe when you said you have a wishlist and then you have plants you cant identify that you have to have 😂 I do the same thing that's how I discovered huecheras 😍
Haha those plants I don’t know always end up being the best ones 😋
what's the name of the plant that appears in 0:18 sec in the left corner in form of a violet star? is so gorgeous!!
Cryptanthus bivvitatus ☺️
Sometimes when you are talking about your plants,Especially succulents can you talk about how often you water??
Please make an update on this list!
Does Panda bear plant bloom
I haven’t seen it bloom but I’ve seen plenty of other Kalanchoe bloom!
Is the fishtail cactus the same as ric rac cactus?
It’s a little different! I called it fishtail but another name for it is fern leaf cactus
I've yet to see any of the plant people on TH-cam having a Basket Plant. Do you have one?
I don’t think I’ve heard of it!
I found my chrysocardium to grow much faster and better in a non porous container.
That’s very interesting!! 🌿
Hedera ivy doesn't do well for me. Spider mites love them.
Not a big fan of getting poked😂😂😂, getting poked more often than I would like 😂😂🤪❤❤❤
I totally relate 😂😂😂
castle cactus eliminates radiation .. i love it
That is so cool!!!
your fish tail looks like my cactus fern.
They also call it fern leaf cactus :)
Oops I meant very succulent looking.. darn auto correct 😂
😋
Let'spissme-um
If he can pronounce 'em, he can grow 'em.
Can I have a piece of your string of hearts ?
