- Thirty three weeks ago I launched Homestead Brooklyn’s Plant One On Me, an informal question-and-answer series on all your green home and gardening tips. Questions get sent in via here-below the videos, on Instagram @homesteadbrooklyn #PlantOneOnMe, or Facebook @summerrayneoakes and @homesteadbrooklyn. Last week we launched a new version of Plant One On Me-Field Trip editions, which are so fun. We had such a tremendous response to the last one, that I figured we'd put up more Field Trips, including a second part to last week's episode on cacti.
It seems as if people couldn't get enough of the Yiddish folk opera, cacti-loving, greenhouse-owning Richard, so this episode is all about cacti anatomy. We get...ahem...a little up close and personal with the three different types of cacti and learn a hell of a lot in the course of 11 minutes.
Richard shows off his full-of-character cacti every Saturday (during the warm season) at the McCarren Park Greenmarket and his son mans the Fort Greene Greenmarket. If you see them-be sure to stop by, say “hi” and get a cool cacti.

This guy is a riot. He needs his own plant show. I'm enthralled.
Richard is absolutely fascinating. His humble and quirky personality is intoxicating!
I love this guy. He's an excellent teacher; he explains everything so clearly and concisely. Because of your vlogs, I have reconnected with my love of plants and growing. Thank you Summer.
I'm so happy to hear this. Thank you for your compliment.
This guy reminds me of Belle , beauty and the beast, ‘s dad. So cute
It's great to see someone who really knows his trade, he is a living encyclopedia
More cactus videos with Richard please! I learned a lot from this video. He makes all the complicated scientific jargon understandable and very interesting!
Richard speaks with much clarity , passion and conviction.
There is something endearing about this Sir; He needs his own show!
I am a botanist, retired. Thank you and Mr Richard for the very refreshing and scientific description of cactii. Looking forward to more .
Richard is a wealth of information! More cactus videos with Richard please!
Thank you for including visuals as he explained!
He is very interesting and full of knowledge. Thanks for a very interesting video.
Another favorite of mine! Not to make you feel like chopped kale, Summer Rayne, but we loooove The Cactus Guy!
I'm so excited to see you expanding your video series like this. I look forward to all your future collaborations (and the next Richard video!).
Are you cereus?!?! 🌵😊😍😎💚
Surely, you can't be Sirius!!!
Hey Summer,
I'm a big fan - I have been following you since 2017 and have always found your content to be super informative, entertaining, and tasteful. SO fast forward to now - I have always loved this episode and found it to be very helpful in how I care for my cactus plants because of how the science is explained. So I decided to show it to my 3rd graders as we are talking about organism adaptations and this turned out to be GREAT!!!!
Ms. Lyons
I really loved this episode - can you do a series on plant anatomy? Maybe the anatomies differ drastically based on different types... What are some common parts we should know?
Excellent talk on the 3 basic types of cacti
Love this segment on cacti.
Cacti 101-- love this guy! I learned so much. Thank you!
Richard Richard Richard Thanks, awesome info. 🌼🌺🌸
I’ve been catching up on some on your videos! This gentleman did an excellent job of educating us on the cactus. Seems like a fun and interesting person to be around.
Love it! Waiting to see how he germinates them.
Thank you, Summer! You are amazing! I just bought accidentally a very rare Monvillea Spegazzinii cristata Type B cactus (I had no idea that they existed until yesterday 🙊, and was dyung to find some information on watering. I can't really see much online These, and on CZcams everything about them is in Portuguese..These 3 videos with Richard calmed me down a little. He has such knowledge and experience! I figured out that mine one is from Cereus family anyway, so I found how to care. Love all your videos - you have phenomenal knowledge and memory- great respect..🙏! I am a relatively new subscriber and I enjoy all of your videos - and Botanical Gardens trips even more! Thanks a lot! ❤
Best Cactus Anatomy Class on CZcams. This guy knows a lot about this incredible plants. I am not a cactus guy I prefer aromatic plants instead, but He made me wish I had some cactus in my house.
Amazing! Wonderful sir, wonderful episode! Thank you. XX
Great video👍🏽 I recently got into cacti 🌵 very informative. IMO cacti and succulents in general are the best looking plants.
can you do a "cleaning routine", i have a some plants and sometimes it's hard to cleanmy house because some of them are heavy, btw nice video
:)
Richard is such a great teacher! What a wealth of knowledge of God's plant creation!
Great video, thank you & love to Richard for sharing his knowledge & showing us his beautiful cacti.
i can listen to this guy all day
Richard’s passion for cacti is very inspiring!
Loving this series...so informative!
This is so informative! I love seeing you and Richard giving us such good information. I learn something new every week.
So interesting. Thanks for the interview 😊
Richard is amazing! What a wonderful series of lessons from a real communicator. Thank You!
Super cool! Thank you Summer Rayne & Richard!
Those are some thorny Chanukah Bushes !
Very special awesome episode about cactus
So informative! Thank you for this video Richard and Summer!
I love him! 💕 great episode!!
8:47 when he says nipple cactus and Summer laughs hahahahahahaha these are fantastic thanks for your hard work both of you
I'm addicted to your videos! They're so informative and really help me to understand how to grow/care for plants and be a better plant parent.
I learned something new, thanks for video!
wow, really such an fantastic video. Thank you both for the fun cacti field trip!
Thanks for the Cacti information, last spring my daughter and I started growing succulents in lovely containers which have been growing well. Such beauties! Another plant hobby I started is Orchid plants, all of my green beauties give me joy...
Wow! So knowledgeable! Love this video!!
Love your videos! You are scientifically interested and don't just want to show the Most spectacular plants. Thanks for the latin Input and botanic taxonomic Information!
I learned a lot in this video! Was amazed by the categories in which cacti are group. Very informative. Hope to see more of these field trip editions. :)
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you, very interesting video!
Excellent video , I learned a lot and definitely appreciate the cacti I have on my windowsill more
Great series with lots of excellent questions and informative answers, his greenhouse is sort of a warning as to that one more plant may lead to a lot more...
I love this dude
Very, very interesting.
Love, love, love your channel!
So glad you find it useful!
love Richard the cacti guy!!!
this is excellent thankyou.
I like the science of it
Fantastic
Love it! I learned so much :)
This is so interesting!
i love this guy!!
I was somewhat disappointed that he completely omitted two wonderful sections of the Cactaceae, Rhipsalideae and Hylocereeae.
These groups include the various types of "holiday cactus" and "orchid cactus." How could they be forgotten?
There is also Pereskia, the only cacti that normally bear real leaves.
Thanks!
Learned new things. Cacti have a woody vascular system.
THANK YOU FOR THIS ❤️❤️❤️🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
I saw a interview special on youtube and honestly I think I am like you, planting/gardening is now a obsession, I often tell people I can not go into home depot because I always spend at least $100 in the garden section. Funny in the interview you said you walk by and touch your plants(I tend to high five my dragon fruit or banana trees when I walk by). Anyways keep it up, love the videos.
This guy is awesome!
Drop that cactus knowledge!
Oh good when he rubbed the bunny ears... Doesn't he have a finger full of itchy glochids? 😵
That guy is a great educator, his passion for the subject is so obvious!
I KNOW RIGHT? I was in Arizona and I decided to touch one of those bunny ears. I really regretted it. I'd much rather hug a Saguaro (which I did btw).
I was wondering the same, I've had to move my bunny ear to an unreachable spot because of the amount of people that got covered in glochids.
That guy is awesome!
Classified information digging out.
AWESOME
So interesting
Waaaaaaauuuuuuuw that was nice, stopt and gave my own plants water and watched on after that. So much to learn... loving it.. So they are cactus stems those indian tent poles.. wauw... Pfff.
I love cacti
Great vid summer! I have a question about the Boat Lily. I rescued one last week. By the looks of this plant it was an older one...it's stem was thick & about 6-8" long and mostly bare from losing leaves through out it's lifetime. It had 3 plants on it which were flowering but looked ill. It had brown spots on some of the leaves & one plant looked dull. I took them all from the Momma plant, rinsed & cleaned all of the prev soil off, rinsed & dried the entire plant then gave it a good spray of alcohol then rinsed & dried it again. lol I repotted them in cactus soil (since the previous grower had it in regular soil, soaked) ....all in seperate pots. This left the main stem/mother plant bare. Will this plant grow more leaves ect? Could I prop the mother plant more since it is still really long?
Absolutely amazing, what a fount of knowledge... now make a video of what he doesnt know about cactii !!...
A wonderful series of videos on Cacti...Would you please suggest some books on Cacti and succulent growing?
Cerius - the one you see in deserts.
Did I really just watch him rub that O. microdasys between his fingers!? Those glochids are like fiberglass!
Great video! This guy is so passionate about his cacti...maybe he could do a video of how to start cacti from seeds 🌵
Richard the Cacti Guy rocks! He definitely seems very knowledgeable about cacti and his passion shows. I like the stone cacti types. Do you have any of these?
Awesome! This guy is great. I am still looking for more information about his business online, as he seems to be located near me in West Chester, PA. Does he have any kind of internet presence? I would love to learn more about him and buy some cacti! Thanks for doing this series!
not at all. He showcases at the McCarren Park Farmers Market on Saturday in Brooklyn and his son mans Fort Greene as well. I'm trying to convince him to sell online.
Loved the video great info! This man is a very good teacher! But Native Americans did not use Saguaro cactus ribs in their teepees. The tribes where the Saguaro grows actually never had teepees. They did however utilize the Saguaro ribs but not for structural use.
Anyway, great video, hope to hear more from him on cacti and see more of his collection. 😊
He is really great! Thanks for doing another video with him. Have you checked in with him lately??
This is the shortest 11 minute video series that I've ever watched 😅😅
Your videos or very informative. Thank You for sharing information with us viewers. do you have any info on eucalyptus?
Nice video
He’s rad.
Hi summer
@Summer Rayne Oakes
did cacti guy recommends any book about cactus's?
thanks
This guy is soooo cool! He is so passionate about cacti!
(Also, you numbered the episode wrong, it should be 33 but it is 32)
awesome- Thanks for catching! Just changed.
Richard has a serious Addiction lol.
My cactus flower was comsumed by the rat and then the cactus also was had a bite take from it .
Great video's. Do you have the name of the cactus @ 1;25 of this EP 033? Richard is cool...
Question about hydrospikes-I bought some hydrospikes a couple weeks ago after seeing your videos (love them!!!), however, the spikes seemed to dry out after a few days and I would have to fill not the jar, but the spike again. How is this better than just watering the plant every couple days? Thank you! 😊🌱
They will occasionally dry out, but mine often don't dry out for months. Be sure that 1.) you soak the terra cotta portion of the spike before placing in soil and 2.) you water the surrounding soil well before placing in the hydrospike. If soil is far too dry, the plant will pull out water too quickly. Also make sure that the water doesn't dry out of water container. But yeah, you will have to reset them, but it shouldn't be every couple days-more like every month or two.
Summer Rayne Oakes thank you so much!!! I will try this.
❤❤
Aw you so cute
Did you said "Chao" at the end of the video? It's mean goodbye in Vietnamese. Glad to here you speak some Viet :)
this guy is me in the future
