When we have finished this video, we realized that WE MADE A MISTAKE. And this mistake is that our containers were transparent, but they MUST BE DARK (to protect roots from the light). And You should change a solution more often (more oxygen for the roots), or you can use aerator stone connected to an aquarium compressor. So keep it in mind when you will try to cultivate a plant on hydroponics. Good luck!
Before watch this video, i already do the same to accelerate root growing for medium size (to up) gymnocalycium cactus. And it all work for me. Nice sharing
Actually "cacti hydroponics" is an OXYMORON. You would not expect to have a better growing ratio than another placed in a pot, simply because both need the same requirements due to its CAM metabolism. The best approach is to apply surgery and graft the desired species to another with a faster-growing feature if the objective is to accelerate the growth. Therefore the "hydroponics" is useless here and only beneficial for plants with C3 and C4 metabolisms prone to dehydration nonetheless, the empirical attempt is appreciated.
Cacti hydroponics is not an oxymoron because that's not what the word oxymoron means. An oxymoron is a self contradictory term not something you thing doesn't work. I fail to see why CAM plants could not benefit from hydroponics, the fact that the stomata remain closed during the day does not negate the positive effects of oxygenation and nutrient availability in the root zone. Additionally there are benefits to hydroponics beyond just faster growth such as not having to deal with lots of soil or constantly check if plants are over or under watered.
Exactly, CONTRADICTORY TERMS. Have you ever wonder why the cacti plants are known as "SUCCULENT"? it has to do with their water storage capacity. So when you apply "cacti hydroponics"; you are swelling a plant made to hold water in their tissues, consequently the plant will take whatever quantity of liquid is needed and then will remain quiescent until the plant requires more water and nutrients, which is the same as any potted cactus. Conclusion: if you want to try "cacti hydroponics" is at your own risk to kill your plant by putrefaction caused by bacteria or fungi proliferation due the excessive humidity. Good luck with that!
Whilst several mistakes were made in this video, using a hose to remove soil from the roots is not one of them and it is also not the same as overwatering!

How often should u change the water?
I'd like a video with succulents and cacteae with fish, aquaponics!
Nice experiment. So did you try to do it over again, but this time with a darkened container and changing the solution?

What is the logic of wrapping the cactus in paper until next year?
THANK YOU!!!! 😂😂😂
great, how the fertilizer solution is made?
Omg muchas gracias por los subtítulos en español 👏 necesitaba un vídeo así
Good luck to you too bro.
Fuck yes someone made the video of my question exactly
Great idea! but this might give cactus root rot in long run. Try adding a bubbler it would do great.

it could be made by grafting an hydroponics plant for the roots, and a cactus, I guess. Could you make a video?
Simple. Graft and then hydroponic. Increase growing speed even further
Can you do this will any cactus?
can you do it with a air pump soo the water gets a bigger advantage?
That's what he was talking about an aquarium air pump with air stone and tubing.
Others: DON'T OVER WATER THEM!!
Him: Uses a hose to remove soil
Whilst several mistakes were made in this video, using a hose to remove soil from the roots is not one of them and it is also not the same as overwatering!
When you overwater you let the roots sit in water
Wow you make a new specie of cactus [WATER CACTUS]
love ur music and great video . what type of fertilizer
You had no idea what you were doing when you made this
How is the song called you used for this video :)?
Can you make a video on how to pollinate plants like Plumeria, Hoyas, or Echinopsis cacti? Thanks!
Derps a Lot look up “desert plants of Avalon” videos on how to pollinate all kinds of cacti. You will pollinate Hoya and plumeria the same way
What the name of this cactus
Cactus in paper wrapped?!? For how long and why?
Why would anyone grow cacti hydroponically though?
For those that want to remove over under watering only thing I can think
I think is not good to plant cactus in water. Become yellowish color. I think cactus is better in less water condition
What name this cactus
Cactus grows inside water true
Ehat you add in water
Hello,
What kind of soil mix are you using for cactus?
Soil mix for cactus: czcams.com/video/nwXm-66kK-0/video.html
What is the guy in the video name? I would follow on social media.
