  • I found a cactus seed pack in the supermarket! Let us see if I can grow them. One thing that I dislike when I sow cactus seeds is sterilizing the soil in a microwave. It is necessary but sometimes I am too lazy to go through the task. In this video, I am experimenting if I can try an easier way to sterilize my soil.

    YAY! we are so happy you have sown the cactus seeds we gave you and we really hope that they germinate well for you, :-D its so exciting or I should say 'SOW' exciting haha to sow cactus seeds, and you have a wonderful selection of many different seeds, the cactus grow kits are wonderful, and all the seedlings from the seeds you gave us are doing so well, and I LOVE the Spider Farmer grow lights they really are AMAZING :-D and the new one looks really FANTASTIC, thanks so much for sharing Ana, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and CAFFEINE and PLANT POWER to Las Vegas for a wonderful new week XXXX

      Lol on the SOW exciting. 😁 I pray that I can grow the seeds you sent me. I like the selection of your seeds as I don’t have them yet. I am excited how this SF light will work. I really like the other SF light that I have so I am hoping that this one would be as efficient. 🙂

      Oh did you find the seeds too from Walmart? They came out with a lot with very attractive packaging. I’m hoping mine would germinate. I don’t care if they are not all Ferocactus. I’m just happy that sowing cactus seeds are becoming more commercial. 😀

    Great video, Ana. Looking forward to seeing the results of the seed sowing. That grow light by Spider Farmer looks pretty decent, so looking forward to finding out how that performs. Thank you for sharing with us as always, Ana. Have a wonderful day and week from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌺🌼🏜☕️

      The light is so far so good as how the other SF lights are. It is actually brighter than what is in my video as I had the light setting in my camera wrong. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I hope you get one as well. I turned down the grow tent, by the way. No room in our house.

    Enjoyed this fun video... It's great seeing more plant people using Coco coir now, I felt like it was just me using it for ages, but I have seen Daz starting to use it and you are now incorporating it too... I stick to coco coir and various bark chips now for the basis of my potting Mixes 😄 I don't like soils or peat and the creepy things lurking in it 🤮
    Good luck with all the seeds and WOW! I LOVE THAT LONGER STYLE OF GROW LIGHT... I NEED THAT! 😆

    It will be interesting to see the results of your experiment and the outcome of the seeds, and you are absolutely right to be skeptical of the seed packets from Walmart, I had one of those packets and got one Ferocactus wislizeni and two Ferocactus emoryi.

    • @CactusCaffeine
      @CactusCaffeine  Před 3 lety +2

      Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s ok if not all are the same Ferocactus. As long as I don’t start growing something with leaves 🍃 🥴

  • @morrisparkintheozarks6831

    Great video Ana!!! Very cool science project!!! I'm very curious to see if the seed in peroxide germinates better than the seed in water. I also use coconut quoir in my mix.
    peat isn't good for ariocarpus" and a lot of Chihuahua desert cactus . i think you are spot on with the one seed in the mix being an opuntia! They just look different than most cactus seed. Big and light colored. I find in these seed mixes that they normally contain ferocactus wizlezenii, carnagia gigantea (saguaro) pachycereus pringlei and Echinocactus grusonii. Deb bought me a lot that also had Aloe ferox. 3 seeds , and all grew and are quite large now at only a year old! About 4 inches across! Can't wait to see your results!!! From Morris park in the Ozarks, out to Las Vegas , have a great evening!!!! Peace,Love,Plants!!!!!✌💖🌵🌸🌿🌷🌳💐🌲🌹🌴🌻

      I hate microwaving to sterilize the soil because I’m too lazy sometimes. 🥴 But I know sterilizing is important. If hydrogen peroxide works, this is a faster alternative. 😃🤞 Thanks Bill!

    I bought the Walmart ones and some germinate! But the soil is bad. I know some seeds are aloe Vera. I also placed mine in a bag haha I need to try it again with my soil mix. .50 cents at my Walmart!

    • @CactusCaffeine
      @CactusCaffeine  Před 3 lety

    @snoywntr2 Před 3 lety +1

    Looking to seeing how this turns out. I just planted a bunch of seeds myself. I used seed starting mix and added perlite. I didn’t sterilize but I mixed in some cinnamon to prevent fungus. Hopefully we are both successful!

    • @CactusCaffeine
      @CactusCaffeine  Před 3 lety +1

      Oh, that’s a great idea to mix cinnamon in the mix. Let me know how it turns out. Honestly, I don’t like microwaving the soil although I know it is necessary. Not to mention it makes my kitchen stink. 🥴 I am just lazy sometimes so I’m trying to find easier ways. 😉

    • @snoywntr2
      @snoywntr2 Před 3 lety +2

      @@CactusCaffeine I hope it works. If not I can use peroxide on the plants to kill anything that grows. I don’t like microwaving it either. Or boiling water. It takes so long to cool off. When I’m wanting to plant I just want to do it. Not wait around for that stuff! Besides I inevitably won’t make enough sterilized soil
