My CACTUS GREENHOUSE COLLECTION Spring '24 update
Vložit
- čas přidán 24. 07. 2024
- Please join me for my Spring-time cactus & succulent plant collection tour of my greenhouse. Spring has started on the northern hemisphere and my plants are coming back to life, following a long dormancy period over the winter months. Buds are forming and new growth is starting on many of the plants. As the plant collection is standing cool and dry during all of the dormancy break, it takes special care to slowly adjust and prepare them for the upcoming growing season.
I usually carefully spray them lightly, using luke-warm rain water, once or twice when the temperatures start rising - that will often be in early March. Then, about two to three weeks later, the first light watering will occur, and another perhaps two weeks later. By this time we are into the month of April and plant growth can now seriously start - often in conjunction with the first wonderful blooms on my cacti and other succulent plants. The first fertilizing in my collection will only happen in early May, when plants have redeveloped their root systems again fully, after the long winter break and spring "re-awakening".
Sit back and enjoy with me!
Cheers,
Joe

Your collection is absolutely one of the most sound and healthy collections I have ever seen, in real life or on you tube... Joe, you are a cactus legend in my book! right next to me and a few other cactus caretakers!!! Thank you for sharing, brother!
Awww, thank you a million, for your awesome and kind words, that means a lot to me my friend! Fantastic to read that you are enjoying my plant collection and channel videos, truly appreciated! Enjoy the rest of the week, best wishes, take care and happy growing of course!!🙏👍🙏😊🌵🌿🌵🪴🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️
@@cactusjoe I have successfully crossed T.Triglochadiatus with T.Grandiflorus! None of my family besides my son and I are into cactus, but we had to share the good news with anyone who may care to know... There is a new cactus in New Mexico, USA. If it looks interesting, I would be happy to share the seeds... If it looks just like another Grandiflorus, perhaps I will just keep it to myself. I am making a video on it, but will not post it until the seeds have been sown!!!
Wow, well done and congratulations to both of you on this interesting cross and thanks for sharing. Keeping my fingers crossed for a new beauty! I am looking forward to what you will be posting on your new Tricho hybrid. Very best cactus greetings to you both in New Mexico, USA, happy growing my friends!👍☺️🙏🌺🌼🌸🌵🌵💚😎☀️🏜

Excellent video joe your greenhouse is an amazing sight to see and I think the bats have the best spot in the house chilling with your very impressive Tephrocactus collection 👌🌵💚
Hey Scotty, many thanks indeed, love your comments and just awesome feedback! And those pet bats of mine 🦇🦇🦇 have indeed picked the best spot, as you correctly point out, haha, they just love hanging around the wicked Tephrocactus gang, lol!!😁😉👍🦇🦇🦇🌵🌵🌵🌼🌸🌺💚😎☀️
Das ist wirklich eine schöne Sammlung 😊und da steckt soviel❤ drin!!
Ganz herzlichen Dank, freut mich sehr das zu hören! Kakteengrüße und ein schönes Wochenende wünsche ich! 👍😊🙏🌵🪴🌿🌵🌺🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️
Lovely video, Joe 😊 Your collection is looking awesome. Still chilly here at night, almost down to freezing the previous two nights so I'm still holding off on putting mine back out in the greenhouse. Thank you for sharing with us my friend. Have a wonderful evening and weekend from Edith & myself and happy growing as always 🌵☀️🌺🌸🌼🏜
Many thanks Daz, much appreciated! Indeed, it has turned very frosty again this end too, two nights in a row now -2C, brrr! I'm glad I have not moved any plants outside yet. Amazing temperature swings,🌵 given we had almost +30C here just a week ago, haha!! So the cacti in the greenhouse are all just on hold again wirh buds and flowers! Wishing you warmer and sunnier cactus weather than I currently have, very best regards for an awesome week to you and Edith, and happy growing my friends! 🙏👍😊🌵🪴🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
Oh WOWSERS Joe what a MAGNIFICENT Cactus and Succulent Spring Collection update Tour, and WOW with your Turbinicarpus blooms, you really have an INCREDIBLE STUNNING HUGE collection, thanks so much for sharing the awesome spring update Tour with us and YAY HAPPY SPRING haha, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Hans and me to Bavaria for a wonderful upcoming weekend XXXXX
Thank you so much Lyn, it's fantastic to read that you enjoyed the springtime tour through my little cactus greenhouse collection! Thanks so much for watching and for all your awesome comments! Yikes, here in Bavaria we suddenly had three nights in a row of -2C ...after we had allready reached daytime highs of almost 30C just a week ago! What a rollercoaster of temps we are getting this year! I hope the cactus weather gods are treating you much better over on the beautiful Emerald Isle!! Warm cactus greetings to you and Hans for a terrific Tuesday evening and week ahead!! 🙏🙏👍😊🌵🪴🌵🌿🌼🌸🌺💚😎☀️
@@cactusjoe The weather has been crazy here too, and just 2c last night, thankfully the temps look like they are going to be going up this weekend, but this April has been so up and down, lets hope we get the heat coming our way again very soon haha XXXX 😎🌻☀🌞☀🌅🥰❤🌵🌵🌵
What an amazing collection....any plans for enlarging the greenhouse?? 😂😂
Hi Dave, thanks so much for watching and so happy that you enjoyed the greenhouse tour! Haha, unfortunately only lot's of plan(t)s but realistically no garden space for expansions...except for upwards or downwards...so, an upper floor or basement to the cactus glasshouse, those would be real novelties, lol!😂👍😉🌵🌵🪴🌵🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
Thank you for this Spring tour through your greenhouse, it was a treat to watch! 👍🏻
You really have so many beautiful species in your collection, one prettier than the other 😄😉 The blooming Turbinicarpi are a real eye-catcher.
Recently, I struggled with fungus gnats (first had to google the english word for Trauermücken😆) on my Spathiphyllum. Probably, they were already in the soil I repotted the plant in. I bought these sticky yellow cards now - I suppose you know what I mean - and hope that they will disappear soon 😅 Because apart from these annoying little flies, the plant is really thriving and developing flower after flower.
Apart from that, I once again had to make the experience that cacti from the Baumarkt (OBI) are no good. Recently, I purchased a little Astrophytum ornatum there. But soon after repotting, the stem started to become brownish at the base. And also the roots didn't develop in any way even after weeks, so I eventually sadly had to throw it away 🫤
Up to this time, I already spray-watered the cacti two times but now have to wait with the next watering because of this cold and dark weather.
Have a great weekend and Happy Growing! :)
Hey Jacob! Thanks for all your interesting updates, I really hope that you can get rid of your Trauermücken pests 😉😅 again very quickly! The good news is that they can indeed be caught and removed quite easily with the yellow sticky cards (Gelbtafeln). Yeah, with the cacti from OBI and most other supermarket nurseries, I know exactly how you feel...I only very rarely buy any cacti there...and only if it is 100% healthy looking and can be repotted immediately! Thanks so much for watching and I'm really happy that you enjoyed all the plants in my greenhouse collection. Have a great rest of the week...from tomorrow onwards, the weather is finally getting sunnier and warmer again, yay! Happy growing!!🙏👍😊🌵🪴🌵🌿🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️
Hi Joe! Your cacti are looking spectacular, especially the Ferocactus! I got to see a hint of your Bavarian neighborhood out of your greenhouse window. What is the Ferocactus with the splotchy colored spines at 2:40 in the video?
Hey Terry! Many thanks for once again watching and also for your awesome comments and feedback. So happy that you were enjoying the collection, especially also my little Ferocactus collection...they are one of my all time favourite genus of cacti! The one you are asking about is a F. macrodiscus ...this species in my view is one of the most beautiful Ferocactus and it also already blooms at relatively young age. Mine is about 15 years old and blooms every year now!! Thanks again and happy growing!!🙏🙏👍😊🌵🌵🪴🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
Excelente video😎👍
Thank you very much my friend! Cactus greetings and happy growing! 👍🙏🙏😊🌵🪴🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
Hi Joe😌🙌I enjoyed looking through your collection and seeing all the beautiful cacti🥰Your Turbinicarpus have amazing flowers😌👏And I like your top dressing for the cacti, it's awesome🙏💖
Hi Newman, thanks for watching and for all your wonderful feedback, very happy that you enjoyed the little Turbinicarpus blooms! They are true gems and because they stay quite small they are ideal for collections with limited space (like mine, haha!). Sending you lot's of cactus greetings over to Japan, have a great week and happy growing of course! 🙏😊🌵🪴🌵🌼🌺🌸💚😎☀️
What a great video, everything looks amazing.
Many thanks, Patti, for watching and for your awesome feedback truly appreciated! Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead!🙏🙏👍😊🌵🪴🌿🌵🌺🌼🌸🌺💚😎☀️
What a collection, compliments Joe!
Many thanks Vera, very happy that you enjoyed the tour of my greenhouse collection! Thanks as always for watching and commenting, really appreciated! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead and happy growing of course!!🙏🙏👍😊🌵🌵🪴🌵🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
It is very nice to see the flowers starting to bloom. Never noticed your bats before. I like them.🦇🌵❣️
Thanks so much and indeed let's hope the Spring weather picks up a bit more now, so that we can all enjoy our developing cactus buds and flowers a bit more soon! Thanks for watching and for your wonderful feedback. Glad you liked my pet bats, haha!! 👍😁🦇🦇🦇🙏😉🌵🪴🌵🌼🌺🌸💚😎☀️
The hanging bats just make me jump!!!! 😂😂
Hahaha, thanks Michelle for watching, and hope that my little sculptured greenhouse pets and helpers aren't scaring you too much!! No worries, they sleep all day... while I'm in the greenhouse at least!!🦇🦇🦇😉😊👍🌵🌵🪴🌼🌺🌸💚😎☀️
Hi Joe! Amazing collection 🌵🥰 May I ask what you use as a soil mix for your pots?
Hi there! Many thanks for your truly wonderful feedback and comments! Really awesome that you are enjoying the videos on my channel, very much appreciated!! The substrate I use is a 80-90% mineral one, meaning i add only about 10-20% organic (non-mineral) components, i.e. compost soil. The (mineral) majority is a mix of pumice, lava and quarz sand, zeolite and small baked clay granules. I show the substrate and also detailed recipe in a few of my earlier videos, e.g. "Why I repot/pot during the Winter" in my Cacti 101 playlist. Hope this helps! 🙏🙏👍😊🌵🪴🌿🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
its not a short💃so pretty, did i spot ariocarpus godzilla, , or was it wishful thinking?🌸
Hi Christina, indeed not a short, but high time to get a full video out once again, haha! Very happy you enjoyed the plants, including my little Ariocarpus collection! 🙏👍😉🌵🪴🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
This is definitely a video for me! 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Elda! Yes, with my cacti finally starting to show their flowers again, I hope I can have many more videos coming that you will enjoy! Thanks so much and wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead! Lot's of flower greetings to you in Albania!👍😊🙏🌵🪴🌿🌺🌸🌼🌺🌸🌼💚😎☀️
Bom dia amigo que lindo amo ver seus cactos um abraço da Família Elen Júnio 👍🏻🌵💚 Brasil
A very good morning back to you all too, dearest Family Elen Júnio! It is a great pleasure to receive your wonderful message, thank you all so much for watching and commenting! My very best and warm cactus greetings to you in Brazil!!🙏🙏🙏👍😊🌵🪴🌵🌿🌼🌸🌺💚😎☀️
It’s hardly springtime here in Belgium. It’s barely above freezing in the mornings and constantly gloomy and rainy.
The same goes for Germany 😅 It rather feels like November than Spring time...
The same in the Netherlands. Lots of rain and wind. But the days are getting longer and plants react on that.❣️
Yep, indeed it is back to cool, rainy weather now here too, but last weekend in Bavaria we suddenly went to hot summer temperatures within a few hours (...and back, haha). Not long to go, and we may be wishing back the cool weather, as we head into what is predicted to become an extremely hot and dry summer once again in Central Europe...cactus weather lol!!!😁👍🌵🌵🌵🌺🌸🪴🌼💚😎☀️☀️
Hi Joe you certainly have a full cactus house! Out of interest, what are the dimensions of the space? Thanks and happy growing. Cheers from the other side of the globe
Hi Tony! Yep, you are right, it is a pretty full house, but as you know, rule #1 for every cactus & succulent fan: there will always be room for just one more, hahaha!😅👍💚🪴🌵my greenhouse is unfortunately pretty small, but I try to use every square cm of it, and in all dimensions, lol!! Thanks for watching, have an awesome weekend ahead, happy growing and cactus greetings back to you too!!👍🙏😊🌵🪴🌿🌵🪴🌼🌸🌺🌼💚😎☀️
Thanks Joe
Enjoyed this as always! There was a smaller cactus with at least 2” spines, name? Love the long spines…and I have a bat here in apt, but it’s a skeleton, the real ones out back come out in the summer about 830 pm, love watching them swoop catching mosquitoes etc. Be well 🌵🦇
Joe perhaps a video on those columnar cacti?
June 2024.. i just bought a spikey type.. idk what it is...i think its a gymnocali io type
Thanks for the update, Michelle! Lot's of success and fun with your new, spikey addition to your collection! 🌵🪴🌵🙏☺️🙌
Hi joe...what type of cactus is that spiral one?? Im looking for something unique and can you give me a recommendation for a good nursery to order cacti? Thanks!!
I am not absolutely sure but I think you are referring to "Cereus forbesii f. spiralis"
Its a Euchilya....something!!!
Ah, now I think I know which one you mean: Is it "Eulychnia castanea cv. varispiralis"?
