would be great to know how are the seedlings doing :)
What ever cactus gets seeded is the mother. Both can seed.
I enjoyed this very much. Fun when a plant offers up something unexpected.
Looks like jatropha seeds
Either way, there was no germination 😢
Hi, great video, thank you. Do you have an update on these Obesa seedlings?
i love cacti , obesa is awesome❤❤❤
Euthorbia obesa aren't cacti,there wrong classified as that but they are just succulents
@@nemesis8626 You’re absolutely correct - euphorbia are not cacti, they are succulents (but cacti are also succulents). This can be confusing for the uninitiated, so thanks for pointing it out 😊
Thanks for your video. I recently bought an Obesa, it was love at first sight. I'm wondering how you can tell if the plant is male or female?
Hi, I’m glad you liked the video. In my experience it’s impossible to tell what sex the plant is until they flower, then they are quite distinct. Hopefully yours will flower soon - let us know what you find!
How much did you pay for it?
About £5. It was a while ago, so I can't say for sure.
How do you know when it’s time to use the paintbrush to pollinate the male into female them
Love your channel do you ever sell anything?
Hi, I’m not selling anything right now - although I do sometimes sell via eBay in the UK.
I like how you accentuate the caudiciform nature of this plant!
Thank you 🙏 I find that with these types of plant, if you leave their stems growing below soil level for a few years, they swell more than if they’re exposed too soon.
Fantastic video and good attention to detail!
Thank you - glad you enjoyed the video ☺️
Aprendí algo con tu video,muy interesante
I’m glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Great work, I love your lolly stick divider system!
Thanks Jane - I love your podcast & book 😊
How often do you water them at that size?
At this size I keep them very well watered during the warm growing months - especially as their soil is very free-draining. During the winter they are kept in an unheated room and will be allowed to stay dry for weeks at a time. I’ll only give a tiny drop if they start to shrivel!
How often do you water when they are just seedlings vs when they are the size of peas?
Seedlings should be kept moist at all times or they will dry up and die. By the time they’re the size of a pea they can be potted up and allowed to dry out briefly between watering during summer months and dry for longer periods during winter months if they are in an unheated environment.
Nice one, they are such a strange and beautiful thing
They are beautiful indeed ☺️
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Well done James 🪴
