*Cereus Peruvianus Monstrose Apple Cactus is so stunning!*
Thanks David!
@@carmenwhitehead thank you 🪴💚
I like the wonkey and strange also. I have really enjoyed my cuttings and making more plants. I am a true plant lover of all. God bless🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks so much for stopping by Maryanne!
Love that colorful pot that the Oldmen are living in!!
That's called Talavera Pottery. It's hand painted from Mexico.
The caterpillar one is so cool looking! And I love pink tips on the Cristana 😍
Thanks Sarah! They are definitely unique.
Cacti are the coral of the desert, or maybe coral are the cacti of the sea.
Great collection!
Enjoyed seeing your cacti🌵.
Thanks Lynn, have a great week.
I truly appreciate your beautiful face & lovely energy. Thanks for the content.
I love the old man cactus and all fuzzy cacti! Although I will say 1inch a year is defiantly a ... commitment 😅🌵
Yeah, I won't be doing any time lapse on those for sure!
I love strange and weird and you always have the best Carmen. That last one wow is she massive. Enjoy your week.
Yes, Eve is definitely one of my fastest growing cacti. She's so heavy too.
@@carmenwhitehead I couldn't believe u picked her up haha.
Such great and very unusual plants. Hope to add some to my collection
That's great Debra! they're all so easy to take care of too.
You have some cool looking ones Carmen that I have never seen before. Thank you for sharing.
You're very welcome Sue. So glad you enjoyed it.
That Eves needle is a beautiful plant, I love the unusual and freaky too!
They are definitely conversation starters!
I too love the unusual plants of all kinds.
Beautiful Carmen. The Eves needles looks like a piece of coral. 🥰
Yes, a few people have said that and you're right.
Hi Carmen,
Love you❤Your succulents are gorgeous💚 Rosie is a sweetie pie😍I love your channel About a week ago I brought 5 unpotted succulents from The Succulent box online shop I thought I order potted plants, the order came with soil, mini terra cotta pots and of cause the plants. This is a new plant journey with succulents for me!
You can do it Denise! Just be mindful of watering, especially now that we're headed into Winter. Make sure they get some morning sun and bright indirect light. Good luck!
I have several Eve's needles, and I love them! I'm moving toward all succulents because I don't have good luck with a lot plants. Thank you for sharing your collection.
I love that first one and the euphorbia that’s grafted! So cool Carmen!
Thank you Stef! I appreciate your stopping by, have a great week.
Hi Stef!
The peruvianus i likeeee. Cute fairy bench🤠
The bench is for mini-Carmen to chill in during rainy days :-) Love this collection! I have two euphoria lactea cristata (one is a grafted coral cactus and another full grown elkhorn) and I think they are show-stoppers hahah!
Oh, I bet the look magnificent! I do need to find a little fairy with curly black hair to put on that bench!
Love them all!❤
I love ming things. I have a tiny one! The caterpillar one is super cool too. I've not seen anything like that anywhere but your channel. And that eve's needle! Stunning.
All of these I found at big box stores. So, you can find them if you look. Thanks for visiting Hilary!
Enjoy the video as usual...love all of the unique Cacti’s. Not sure if the medusa could of have been in that number but I tell you I were looking for it. Have a blessed week. 💗
Funny you should say that about the Medusa! I had it in my hand when I was picking plants and I set it down, because I thought that I had just shared that one.
I'm just getting into cactus/succulents and I happened to come across this video while researching. Your passion shows through the video and you have such a calming /pleasant demeanor that made me feel completely relaxed ! Thanks for sharing your plants
So nice of you, thanks!
I love 😍 all the unusual plants! Thanks for sharing. 🥰
💚 Not a fan of cacti or succulents but that last one, evils needle for some reason reminds me of a stalagmite without the green colour of course. Weird huh!
It's definitely a stunner!
Eve's Needle. Like Adam & ___.
I love hearing you talk about your plants. You are able to express your appreciation and love to them with your attention to all their details. You made me think about buying a cactus :)
Oh, that's great Fanny! All the ones I shared are easy to care for. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Great cacti - so unusual and that Talevera pot is beautiful 😍🌵
I can only hope that we have the kind of weather here that requires an umbrella! Southeastern PA did not have a great summer last year.....
It’s always good to hear from you and get new ideas...
I always enjoy and appreciate your visits Patricia! Have a great weekend.
Wow what a great bunch of plants I love the weird ones
Your Eves needle is my goal!!! Mines is growing but not so huge! Beautiful cacti succs
Re-watching a great video of interesting succulents and thinking of you, Carmen. Miss your wonderful informative videos. Hope you're well. Blessings and love. Sherry 🥰 🙏 💞 🪴
Thank you so much!
Wow I loved that last one.
Hi Carmen, I've been away from CZcams for a short time. Trying to catch up with my favorite youtubers. You are definitely on my list. I really enjoy watching your videos. You are so informative and relaxing . Thanks for sharing !!!😊🤣
Welcome back! Thanks so much for stopping by.
This is awesome!
Carmen I love your quirky, unusual plants💚anything wonky and out of the ordinary is fir me💚😂So hard to pick a favorite, but old man is up there🙌and the crested lactea🤩
The old man cactus is so deceiving because you want to pet it and then "Ouch!"
😂right? The fuzzies are not so warm and fuzzy
I love Cactus 😍 I have some of those that you have. The last one is absolutely amazing!!
Thanks Elainy! Eve is definitely a beauty and I think she knows it.
Love the Lactea Euphorbia Cristata 🌵 💚
It is very cool!
I love your Eves needle.
thanks Crystal, she certainly is a beauty.
I love crested plants. I have several. Even a crested crown of thrones! Thanks for showing us!
Wow, a crested crown of thorns! that must really be something. Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Carmen! You know I’m always watching but if you talk about cactus, I’m here to cheer as well! 😉☕️☕️ I love everything that you showed. That euphorbia crested is gorgeous and the Eve’s needle is so big! I have the regular type that I’ve been keeping in a small pot for years because I am preventing it from growing so fast. Thanks for showing your “weird” collection, Carmen.
I knew you would love these! I do need to get a regular Eve's Needle, just so I have both types. Another excuse to go shopping!
enjoyed this video so much Carmen! Love all of the quirky oddballs!
They can be so much fun and especially when you're searching for them. Thanks so much for visiting!
Hi Carmen! The last one is gorgeous!!
Thank you! 😊
Carmen,,,thank you for sharing your awesome cacti collection and opening my eyes to more species, lol Yours are so healthy. I love eves needles❣️🌵 And we all have a little damage on our bodies, lol. Hi Rosie Girl💕
Yes, I've had my fair share of prickles get me. The Eve's Needles is a beauty for sure. Thanks for watching!
You have a well rounded collection. I ❤️ it all and also collect it all too. Thanks for sharing Carmen.
Thank you so much 🤗I'm always adding to it.
If you ever come to California I’ll take you to Poot’s, they have SO MANY great rare finds as far as unusual cacti and succulents!
I met Stef Hall there and her hubby Biff.
How cool!
Love that Eve’s needles-love all of them as well. Thank you for another interesting video.
Glad you like them! I appreciate your stopping by.
Thank you! I got one at Lowe's it had no name. Now I have the name Ming Thing
Some of them look more like sea creatures than cactus. Very beautiful
I always say, the weirder the better! Great group of plants Carmen. Thanks for sharing with us!
You are so welcome! Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for sharing Carmen.. the weirder the better 🤣
I agree for sure Lorraine!
I also like the weird and funky looking cacti. Thanks for sharing.
Those are some of my favorites. I'm always on the lookout for them.
@@carmenwhitehead The other day I was plant shopping at Lowe’s. I was excited to see a crested Euphorbia grafted. At closer look and my horror it was cemented in the pot. Why do they sell such an abomination? Needless to say I am still looking.
@@cicelywilson1194 I really wish they would stop doing that! you can take it out by breaking the cement and repotting it. That would actually save the plant.
@@carmenwhitehead Thank you I will do that.
Bonjour Carmen, jolie collection !! Merci pour ton partage
I love those i am attracted to wrird looking ones and i do get my plants from my Lowes clearance alot.
You can find some doozies there! The big crested Eve's Needles I found on the clearance rack for $5! I think that's one of my best buys! Thanks for stopping by Tinamarie!
Thank you for describing beautifully the plants, their growth and their colour, very helpful for someone who doesn't have that kind of plant.
I have one of the crested eves needle and I’m amazed how much it’s grown in 6 month. Didn’t know it would get that big so fast.
Yes! It's one of my fastest growing cacti. Amazing!
So unique plants 🥰😍
I love the Eve’s needle it looks like a under the sea coral THANKS FOR SHARING. I don’t own any Cactus but I am getting very curious I think I want one to start😊 💚 🌵
It does look like something found in the ocean! All of these are easy to care for and can be found at big box stores. Good luck!
Wow! Lovely cacti collection! That Eve's Needle is stunning. I love the older cacti with sun damage, they look like they just walked in off the desert. Thanks for this wonderful video.
Thank you so much!
Very unique cactus, thank you for sharing.🌵
Loved your collection
Wow .I really enjoyed this vidio. Healthy looking plants. I need to go shopping now!!!!
Yes, go find those weird and strange cacti!
Ohhhh I love this video! Strange cacti, 😍😍😍😍
Beautiful lady 😘 with beautiful cactus 🌵❤️❤️❤️❤️
I enjoy your channel so.much Carmen
Thank you for your videos.
I have a cereus peruvianus mostruosa. It is one of my favorite plants
Love, love, love those cacti, Carmen! I have a handful of em too. Whenever I run across one, they always remind me of the inhabitants of the Island of Misfit Toys, just hoping and wishing someone, somewhere will adopt em - and I can relate, you know? - so I take em home with me! 😀
Yes, I can totally relate! That's exactly how I fee.
Love this video and the last one you showed is amazing
Great video. Keep them coming. My children are my cactus, and I love them. Hi to you and Rosie from Tasmania Australia.
Hello Tasmania! So many great succulents and cacti there!
Hi! Was that Talavera pottery with the old man cactus? It's so colorful.Talavera is beautiful but so expensive. You have a great collection of exotic cacti.
Yes, it is Talavera. I love that type of pottery.
Hi carmen. What a collection.. love chrested cactus
So do I, the weirder the better!
Beautiful cactus 🌵 I love it!!! 👏🌵😍

This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing. I love Eve's Needle succulents
I love that big baby! It was a clearance find about 3 years ago and I never regretted it. Thanks for watching! 😊🌱🐶
I love your unique plants 🪴!
Thank you 😁
I can't wait for my crested eves needle to get huge like your. I'm in year 1 of mine.
An absolutely delightful collection!!

The weird ones are the best! New to the channel. Thanks for sharing these
You're so welcome! Glad you're here.
Awesome stuff
Really appreciate your insight Carmen...Thanks for the vids!!!
My pleasure!
They are Beautiful ms.Carmen...Thank u so much on the tip 4 Tanks...Ordered the ferterlizers as well.
You are so welcome, I'm sure you'll love it!
Impressive plants. I want that euphorbia. It's probably a slow grower. I've been propagating euphorbia for quite some time and it is not growing as fast as my other succulents. I still like it but it's slooooow.
Love this
I sure like your show!!
Thanks Karen! I appreciate your visiting.
Hi Carmen, They are truly all beautiful, are any hard to find other then the Eve’s needles crostata . You have a great day👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No they're not Margaret. All of them I found at big box stores. You just have to look a little harder. Sometimes there's only one in the batch.
Hi... Ms. Carmen just checking if what happen all your cactus.🌵🌵🌵
Good video Carmen! Hi from Neptune beach,Fl
Hi Robin! Hope you weren't affected much by the hurricane. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Eve’s pin. I have them too.
Love your collection. I hope I get lucky to fine some of those babies by me big box stores. I line in South Florida. Thanks for sharing! 🌵🪴
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing your collection! I’m looking for my first cactus and I’m definitely a fan of unique and “weird” looking plants ☺️☺️
I love the unusual and strange when it comes to cacti and succulents. Thanks so much for visiting! 😊💚🌱🐶
@@carmenwhitehead I just picked up an Albuca Spiralis, it’s definitely a very unique succulent!
well done,enjoyed very much :)
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for visiting!
Complimenti, spero anche le mie diventino così
First time viewer, loved your show on aloe. Thanks what part of Az. are you located
I'm in the Metro Phoenix area. So, glad the weather has cooled off! Thanks for watching.
What is that big variegated plant on the floor by the door behind you? It looks beautiful.
That is a Philodendron Burle Marx. It isn't variagated, it may have been the light that made it look that way. He is a beauty though!
Hi Carmen. I was just wondering where you bought the plant stand that is behind you? And I love your cacti collection.
The shelving unit I got on Amazon. Fairly easy to put together. Thanks so much for watching!
@@carmenwhitehead Thank you!
Now that is weird but in a good way 🙄🙂
😄Yes, weird can be good. Thanks for watching.
@@carmenwhitehead I really like your video, you explain the plant so I can understand, you have some I would like
Hello Carmen. Do you bring any of your cactus inside or provide protection outside if you leave them. I am also in Chandler Az. Thanks. Love your vids ♥️
Not during winter. If we do get a frost warning, I cover my plants with some old bed sheets. I do give them protection in the Summer from the sun with a patio umbrella. You know this past Summer was horrible with the heat, so I did bring in my more sensitive succulents.
@@carmenwhitehead thank you Carmen ♥️
Wonderful. May I ask what zone you are in? I just finished my first year in central valley of California. Hotter in Summer and cooler in Winter than I am use to, bay area. I am worried about cactus outside in Winter...
I'm in zone 9, so no harsh winters. I would cover or bring them in if it gets down to freezing.
Is there a guide for putting succulents in groups that has the same water requirements. I have lost and replanted so many and yet I keep trying from shape of pots ,to measuring the water . I have the in draing pots then placed back on stand I. Been doing this for a little over a year
Usually if you put the same type of succulents together (i.e. echeverias with echeverias) that will help. But, I still use a moisture meter to make sure that pot is dry and then I water.
👍🏽💚🌵
