No idea hiw that 0.03 got in my text ignore that.

That's a good observation. I'm sure there are ph variations. The MG seed starter mix is probably more acidic given that it's peat moss. Moisture retention also varies greatly. I treated them all the same rather than varied care based on the soils, who knows if the outcome would've been different if I had. But given my laziness we'll never know 😁

Thank you for the tip! Are there any requirements on ambient temperature? Or can it be used anytime of the year?

It can be safely used in any season.

@@krossrn wow, that is an incredible compliment! It's so funny that when I first posted this video I thought that no one would watch it. Thank you so much for the positive feedback!

Some good deals for sure! Always a lot of fun ☺️

Lol

I had to look that one up 😂

It is really nice being able to have my dad attend too. It was really funny going through his video recordings and seeing what exactly he got on camera 😂. The first auction I ever went to both my parents came with me. That was before I brought my camera to events. You gotta check if Ohio has such an event! I hope you do!

I'm not sure I quite understand this question? The plants in this auction are all member donated plants. Folks bring what they're willing to let go to a new home and help the club fundraise at the same time.

I'm glad you got to check out the auction, Jeff. You never know what folks bring each year, always a surprise and always a lot of fun. Thanks again for gifting me the two pots. They're waiting for the right resident.

Awwww Frank! This is the nicest and kindest message I could read on a Monday night. You made my day! And you make me want to keep going with this whole UA-cam thing Welcome to the cactus and succulent addiction, it is a deep and endless rabbit hole, a problem we never want to solve. You really should come out here and tour the nurseries, bring a truck 😁

I love the buzz of excitement, a room full of folks who love the same thing. Just too much fun!

I'm so happy to be able to share with you all, Rebecca! I'm glad you enjoyed the auction with me ☺️

@@scorpnz4433 thanks for the notes. It's tricky figuring out how to read signs from each genus. The squeezable ones are easier, whereas the spikey ones are not as easy to touch and see. I would've guessed that Astros and Mamm care would be the same, but over time, it seems Mamms are even more drought tolerant and need less attention than Astros. Very interesting. Are you based in Arizona?

@@cookiescacti Assuming when you say read signs relates to active growth vs periods of dormancy. The spikey cacti will have lighter colors in the top crevices since cacti grow from the top, it's quite noticeable. Here mams seem to like it, then again we have high humidity up over 80-90% which may have something to do with needing less care if they can absorb water from the air which i had no idea cacti could do until two weeks ago. Cactus caffeine does vids & is based in either california or nevada & may have info your looking for regarding cacti in hot dry climates & how to water in the fall (< has a vid on this) as well as colabs with brent wigand & a couple of other dry area nurseries. Think hobbits & you'll know where i'm based & it ain't europe. You'd like it here as its sub tropical & cacti that are so called slow growing are anything but, either that or its all the blood & bone pellets with what smells like amonia i put in the soil. Apparently cacti like battery acid so brent said lol

@scorpnz4433 Ana is in Las Vegas, similar to the climate in Phoenix. I am quite lucky to have a lot of local expertise and resources here, which is really nice. The benefits of having an active local cactus society and lots of cactus nurseries ☺️

😂😂😂 I went nuts last year 😂😂😂

I so appreciate your comment! Sometimes I'm like "I hope they don't mind me narrating prices over and over again". You just helped confirm that it's okay (I always want to know prices in shopping videos).

@cookiescacti It's definitely OK, in my opinion. I actually think it's what's lacking in most gardening videos. I am trying to turn our front yard into a cactus/succulent garden. I have been watching a ton of your videos, and it's been so helpful. I can plan on what's available in the stores, full sun/shade, colors, design, where to shop, and prices. My husband and I are going to visit a few nurseries after watching your videos. We have never even heard of most of these places. They should use you to advertise! Honestly, if you hadn't mentioned prices, I wouldn't have been motivated to visit them as I would have chalked it up to them being unaffordable.

Awwwwwww why I love you and your comment so much?

Yeahhhh!! Tara! It is so much fun!!!

A very warm welcome! You should receive emails from the club on upcoming events and meetings.

@ Ok, I’m looking forward to it. Thanks!

@@bethmendoza1847 you're welcome! Hope to see you at a future meeting!

I'm so glad you enjoyed this one! Love sharing the fun with you all ☺️

*Huge hugs* I wish my mom would be more willing to be in videos (she's going to read this lol)

@@HumanBean520 you were there too! Was this your first auction or have you been before? Awwww that is so kind of him! What a cool experience ☺️

you're welcome. I just wanted one of the boobie cactus so it worked out perfect for both of us. it was my first auction too.

Ahhh did the genus change?? I just looked it up and it did! I like the way you think that the boobie should have gone for more 😁 Believe it or not, I did not come home with anything... Very disappointed in myself 😂

I wish you could! Highly recommend

Yesss! So exciting every year!

You put it so perfectly, that is exactly the spirit of this auction and why it's so fun!

Gracias!! 💚💚💚

Ha! They tell everyone that it's our responsibility to keep track of what we bid on. But can you imagine bidding on more than 10 plants? Omg someone with terrible memory like me would FAIL 😂😂😂 That's where the phone camera comes in handy, otherwise, forget it!

It was really fun seeing what footage my dad got 💚💚💚

@ seriously!! Are there ever plants that don’t get bid on? What happens to those donations?

Si, very much so 💚💚💚

Mission accomplished! That is exactly the feeling I was hoping for, that you feel like you're walking the auction with me. I'm really glad you enjoyed this one, Mike!

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Woohoo! These auctions are always so much fun. I also LOVE all the excitement from fellow plant lovers.

It's so much fun!

@@jerrycline5543 thank you so much! This was one of my earlier videos too. Let's see if this link works www.ebay.com/usr/larrichan01

😂😂😂 I let it go on some open land so it can continue it's journey to find itself in the desert

You're very welcome! 💚💚💚

🎉🎉🎉 what a journey, Ana! It really makes me freak out about how fast time is passing. Good luck on the giveaway!

Hehehehehe, good question! I'm toying with the idea of continuing to follow this batch of seedlings, maybe with less frequent updates. I kind of want to see when they reach "sellable" size myself, so I can share with you all too. My guess is 3-5 years....

Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏 It's been a fun journey ☺️

I have a hard time too with certain genus in Arizona. It's just so darn hot over the summer that some plants can't take without extra precautions. I'm thinking of focusing on growing the plants that can take the heat - like the Astrophytum. Hopefully leads to less heartbreak...

I see your entry, Gabrielle! I am so happy that you enjoyed watching this series - it makes it so worth it to put the time into making this content. I'm hoping to find some time in the upcoming thanksgiving week to do the repotting... It should be fun?? Lol. Best of luck in the giveaway!

😂😂😂 I think sow day might be more accurate 😂😂😂 happy first a-human-decided-to-see-if-you-will-come-to-life-day. Your comment on humidity is very interesting. I have just one set of seedlings that I grew outside under shade, omg, they are the slowest growers ever. Habitat plants probably grow so unbelievably slow... Absolute miracles.

Hehehehehe, this is a fun one

😂😂😂 I've slowed down, I promise! But every time I say that, the opposite happens.

That could always be a factor. The pots have moved around over time. When they were started, one tray occupied an entire shelf to get as even light distribution as possible but it's never perfectly even.

Hypotheses are always fun. ECC has the highest number of seedings in a pot but those seedlings are growing very well. But who knows, maybe his soil is more nutrient dense than the others so more to go around. Who knows!

Looks like ECC doesn't sell on Etsy right now. He has his own website and online shop which I think carries the soils.
