Excellent value video
thank you sir you gave really good tips and new ideas of grafting cactus۔plz make a video about grow Frailea seeds
I've watched a bunch of grafting tutorials throughout this year as it was my first year grafting, and this video is one of the best I've seen. Kept everything nice and simple, which was a great refresher just to make sure I'm still doing things right and on track. Thanks for the video guys, and EAS is one of the few nurseries at the top of my bucket list to visit!
Thank you for the support!
Thanks for the advice/ information. Have an awesome day!
Me Too, thankyou very good
Great video, thank you for the solid information! Also, I dig the Mint Discs hat!
I needed this tutorial! Thank you. 😊
Love your channel! 🌵☕
nice video man
I’m in the Phoenix metro and have 14 varieties in my home. It’s one of the few houseplants that will survive.
nice work Carder!
Is there an update
Glad to see you again, I followed you in your previous channel! Beautiful staging
Is there a way to force it out of dormancy? I live in Southeast Asia and it's full on summer here but mine just went dormant a week ago. Outer layer is brown already but not squishy yet. I grow it inside where it's not too hot though.
Hmmmm possibly giving it more light could trigger it to come out of dormancy
Interesting nvr knew that's how u propagate them
Thanks a lot. I love your video
Nice sharing ❤❤
Looks like I've found your new channel.
Also you say in the video lithops go dormant in summer and shrivel, but spring back to life in winter *as theyre winter growers.* But your description has lithops in the *summer grower* category. So whats going on here?
That was a typo! Good catch we fixed the description.
So according to your list in the description, my wife's jade (crassula) and her zebra plant (haworthia) _are winter growers?!?!?!_ We live where winter would KILL these plants, as they come in during winter, but hit the porch (and warm sun) in the summer.... and that's WRONG?!?! Please, someone with experience answer me with this so we can provide the best life for these little green buddies.
Your haworthia will definitely appreciate some shade in summer. However the jade plant is an exception to the rule, it is a summer growing crassula. I would still bring these inside if you have freezing temps in winter. Winter growers are able to grow in winter because the habitats they come from never reach freezing temperatures even in the dead of winter. So while summer temps in their habitat are too scorching and dry to foster growth, the winters are mild and moist, perfect for growing.

A good day when one of these comes out
MashaAllah MashaAllah JazakAllah thanks it's a great work 😊
Sweeet vidddd
Do you sell the plants and the bags
East Austin succulents sells a bunch of aloes on their web shop. Any little mesh baggie will do.
Sick suprafoliata
This is like agave trafficking 😮. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise! So glad I found you guys
Very useful video.
Love seeing how people protect their plants from the cold. Where I live in Fl we rarely get freezes but do usually have a few nights where temps dip down to the mid 30s/40s. I am paranoid and take all my favorites inside. Luckily temps here usually rise at least to the low 50s the next day so most of my euphorbia survive with minimal damage below the recommended 50 min temps as long as the cold doesn't stick around. I also run into issues with O2 sensors shutting off my propane heater and found that leaving 1 window to my greenhouse open with a fan next to it pushing air towards the propane heater resolved the issue. Not the most cost effective solution as I kept the heater on high to compensate for the open window, but beats running out in the cold at 2 am lolol.
Do you’ll sell to the public if so do you ship
Yes east Austin succulents has a web shop and ships nationwide
🤯🤯 never seen this done before- my anxiety spiked big time!!!😵💫 I would not have the courage
Epic video! East Austin Succulents is back!
Nice video and tips! Thanks for the lists is a good reminder. Are those long obesa seedlings at 6:22? When and do you bury them or do they shrink and you leave them? Hope to see more videos on cacti, succulents, caudiciforms, seedlings, grafting end game, etc!👍👍
Different species of euphorbia. As they mature they will stiffen and right themselves
Thank you for the ino ❤
Really helpful info and well put together video. Thanks!
thanks for watching and for the kind words!
This is horticulture basics, not botany basics.
ok 😐
Poor pup of that white rhino😢
Rest assured it was rescued and is in my greenhouse
You should mention, being poked by this plant is extremely painful, I'm not sure if it has any toxins in it but it doesn't feel good from experience
So very helpful information. I just subscribed. I think more gardener's are looking for innovative ideas to showcase talents and knowing how propagation works for less common plants keeps interest. 😊
Wow
Didnt it already have offsets? I guess I would lose the plant to rot, cutting it in half here in the south of New Zealand even with the sulphur. I guess I would still try haha just for the fun of it. As you said on a cheaper Agave. Victoria reginae are like 20 usd here, even the normal variety.
Great video beautiful plants back ground noise made it hard to hear but still awesome
Sorry 105+ in the greenhouse so it was either fans or we die haha. We got new mics to cut down on background noise
Thanks nice video,peace…
This is so interesting! I didn’t realize there are so many variations now of the Myrtillocactus geometrizans. This wants to make me collect all of them. 🥰 Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for sharing this.
Shaved the Namaquinses on both sides or just one?
Both! Down to the vascular ring
FIRST
I love this video! Beautiful plants! Thanks Roy!
Great video. Maybe you can do a degrafting video on the Namaquensis. Also how to root the de-graft
