Super slow growing and the roots are more sensitive to overwatering. My best advice Is only water when the plant needs it. Don’t water based on a schedule. Feel your plants give them a light squeeze and if they feel soft instead of hard. Then it’s time to water remember these guys live in extreme drought where they might only get water once or twice a year.

@@MammilariaElongataByVâniaLuz Muchas gracias.

@@lealee13569 I’m planning on doing a video on how I start and graft seedlings. My best tip I can give you on seedlings is don’t be afraid to graft specially the special ones

Thanks, and same!! it’s always a balance between getting more or going broke lol

I’ve been collecting my whole life but decided to mainly focus on Astrophytum around 5 years ago. I would really recommend growing from seed and grafting. Even though it’s a painful journey sometimes. I think this year alone that I finally made the push to graft more, I have doubled my collection and seed production.

Glad you enjoyed it. If you have any suggestions for future videos please let me know

@@Sandhillgarden Hey I noticed you graft seedlings to Selenicereus. I do that too but don't see many others using it as a stock. Wouldn't mind seeing how you like to do them and even what the mother plant looks like. I like them as a stock - they seem slow and steady compared to Pereskiopsis and I've had problems with thrips on Pereskiopsis but not really with the Selenicereus. Do you notice much difference in performance of the scion based on the length and girth of the stock? Do you chamfer the edges of the stock or no for them?

Honestly it’s my first year trying it and everything I know about it is only by trying and killing hundred’s of seedlings. So I don’t chamfer and only straight cut at the very tip. I use seedlings that are about 2 months or less and just place them very carefully on the tip without anything holding them. I live in Florida so humidity is always a problem. Pereskiopsis on the other hand grows like a weeds but I want to throw them across the room half the time because of the glochids😂 Definitely a good idea for a future video!

Maybe yoroi but it doesn’t have the fukuryu false ribs.

Thanks for the love! ✌️💖🌵🪴🌻🌷🌾🌸🌴🌱🍀🌿💐🌳🏜😃👍

Thank you!! And yes probably until spring though all my Ariocarpus are flowering right now.

@@Sandhillgarden awesome looking forward to it. I struggle with it, did 7 tubercle grafts before they all have survived as in good union and plumped up but no offsets. Enjoy the flowers, man😊

Thank you my friend!

Yeah, it definitely made the job easier 🎉

@@neooooooooooon thanks for the feedback, I’ll make sure to make the next couple of videos louder. I’m still learning how to make videos 😄

I do it to lower the weight of the plant. specially when cutting most of the roots it’s easy for the plant to fall over. plus it help that plant dehydrate less because it’s leaves have less surface area . But thank you for your opinion 🤙

30 plus years I would say. I’ve owned her for 5 years.

Gave a sub. Hope you're good .

Astrophytum myriostigma nudum variegated

Pumice is also really hard to find in my area and more expensive because I have to get it shipped. Perlite is just human made pumice

Welcome!

Thank you!! Agave maximiliana

NOoOOoOOOOoOoO brooooooooo

I onestly think that the ficus is a tropical plant and in 100% akadama he'll go dry in a few day if you don't water it often

Mela Ry It depends on your climate and the soil you’re using. I water all my outdoor trees 1-3 times a day because I use akadama.

Small hard grade akadama

Small hard grade akadama

Yes. I use small or medium grade akadama. Depending on the plants requirements. This is a good idea for a future video.

@@Sandhillgarden yep it is, thanks man!

Thank you!
