Thanks for watching! 🌵
Legendary stuff mate!
Cool I just got 7 of these with no roots - so hopefully they take off!
If you have questions just let me know! I love chatting about Cactus ❤️🌵
I now own one of these beauties!!! Or it owns me... either way! I am excited to watch it develop into multiples some day! Thank you, Sir and we look forward to buying some more cactus from you...
It should be headed out Tomorrow my Friend ♥️🌵
@@CactusUncle That cactus sure knows how to pick its people! I will be owned by one more plant! It is said by the elders that if we humble ourselves to a plants level, then we have the best opportunity to reach our full potential! Thank you!
Great video, thank you for the tutorial!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Uncle bro, nice video!! One of my favorite cultivars... I could buy one of these from you right? or trade for some cactus that I have? Let me know if you would sell one of these or trade for some of my pottery or cactus... Thanks again! I am heading to your website now to try and get the ball rolling on this transaction!
Come see me at the nursery after the heat, We will have tons of them ready ♥️🌵
Kinda crazy how the cactus just survive. Nice tutorial!
Hi can you tell us / show us an example of what happens if we don't let the cutting callus before planting? Thank you from Australia!
The Unrooted cutting rots much more often if you plant it with a fresh cut, I am trying to get good photos and videos of rotting cactus, will upload when i compile a good video on the subject. Thank you so much for the comment! ♥️🌵
Cool. When do the cuttings get water? Should cuttings be in sun or shade to root?
If the plant you took the cuttings from was in Full Sun the cutting should be just fine in Full Sun. I water small unrooted cuttings every 1-2 Weeks, when the soil is dry.
Do you need to water the soil you propagate it in the pot?
Yes, i propagate in spring or summer and i do water them to stimulate roots, once a week. Make sure the soil is well draining.
Hi, when I put it in the pot, do I need to water it at all?
When it is rooting i only water the pot a couple times a month. If it was a larger pot than in this video, or it was in the ground, i would be watering even less while rooting a cactus. Hope this helps, thanks for watching ❤️🌵
What size pot do you recommend for a totem cactus 🌵 like this ?
A 6inch pot is big enough for the smaller cutting like in the video, but if its over a foot tall i would do a 3gallon or 5gallon pot
Do you water right after putting it in the pot? Or wait two weeks?
As long as the cutting is dry i generally water after planting, and water once a week
i was gifted a cutting that was already calloused...on BOTH ends. will the top end ever grow pretty ?
Yes. The cactus will branch out, usually near the top. In this video towards the end you can see some that have the top cut off with new branches ❤️🌵
@@CactusUncle Thank you! I just love this plant !!
I live in phoenix. Can i just stick them in the ground??
Yes! But you should still let the cut end callous over and dry for a few days 💪🌵
@@CactusUncle thank you!!
@@thehagemahal anytime my friend
What does it mean if they are squishy? I have a few big boys but at the base it’s wrinkled and soft?
Is there any discoloration? And is it an unrooted cutting like this video or is it an established Cactus? Let me know I will give advice 💪🌵
@@CactusUncle it’s an established cutting I propagated two years ago, I know it has roots. It’s probably 3 feet tall in a pot. I let the soil dry out and then give it a good watering but it always seems like it’s squishy wrinkly and sometimes there’s a yellowish color, I do live in Palm Springs where it’s very hot, I just don’t know what the signs mean!? Thanks for the feedback man!
Is it yellow year around? Is it yellow on the western side? The fact that its a Sonoran Desert Cactus growing in wet Florida it makes me think overwatering. Hard to say without seeing the plant though... I dont mind questions please ask away my friend! 🌵♥️
I own this cactus and it recently turned black over the weekend. Anyone know what happened and if I can save it?
Can you give me more details? Weather, watering, and tell me where the black rot is on the plant
@@CactusUncle I recently moved and it was put outside on the porch (previously on our other porch with more shade). It's Oklahoma, it's been very hot and sunny. I haven't watered it in over a month but it also rained a lot this weekend while I was gone. It's very black towards the top more than anything.
If its happening at the top it makes me think some kind of damage, usually sunburn. When you moved it recently did it go from a shady low light spot to full sun? Even plants that CAN technically take full sun need to be acclimatized to the new location especially if planting in seasonal extremes (summer and winter)
@@CactusUncle Yes, I believe it's severe sunburn. Is there something I should do? Will it recover on its own?
@@CactusUncle I think I found your cactus Facebook page, I commented a picture that hopefully could tell more. I've had my cactus for 5 years and I'm really concerned about it. I've never had this issue and I don't want to lose it.
Hey I’m fro Queensland Australia how can I get some?
Because I do not have a permit for shipping plants internationally I doubt I can help my friend. I think I would need a phytosanitary certificate to ship to Australia. Otherwise it would likely get picked up in customs and thrown out.
@@CactusUncle dam
@@CactusUncle would you happen to know any other spineless cacti?
Nopales, a type of Prickly Pear. Can you find that in Aus?
@@CactusUncle yeah but it vary rare and super expensive
