I've seen a video of a pretty alternative technique to take care of root mealys and it was the only thing that worked for this person They did a hot mix of horticultural soap and and cigar. Overnight once water was cool added some Isopropyl alcohol... I believe they either soaked it few times with days I bettween or cleared the plant of soil and soaked for a minute or something.. Actually if ur interested in having this in your tool kit like I. I'll send u the video :)

The Cactus God is satisfied with your contribution to our community.

Awwww they are CUTIES Henry :-D little beauties indeed, thanks so much for sharing the wonderful update and wishing you a fantastic plant powered Friday XXXX <3

They’re looking good, Henry 😊 Yeah they’ll certainly grow slower in a 100% mineral mix. Maybe give them a little bit of a feed? Thank you for sharing with us. Have a wonderful day and weekend from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌺🏜

Update on seedlings plz

looking good!

These lovely seedlings were grown from seeds gifted to me by @cactimania The inorganic media works like a dream at keeping root mealies away but the plants grow painfully slow 😅 any advice would be appreciated! 🌱🌵🌿🌺

Boa Noite amigo que lindo cactos amo abraços da Família Elen Júnio 👍🏻🌵💚 Brasil

How often do you water them at this size?

Awesome info thank you so much for the video buddy

Your not alone in your battle with mealy bugs! Thanks for sharing!

Good luck with the battle of mealy bugs 👍🏻🌵🙂 that Thelocatus is very nice, a large size too, great spines, I wish it well so it can flower again.

Mealybugs definitely suck lol. Really the only thing that can deal with them is a systemic pesticide, something the plant can take up and will be toxic to anything that feeds on it. Hopefully your Thelocactus will be ok. Thank you for sharing with us, Henry. Have a wonderful day and week from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🏜👍🏻

Beautiful little seedlings, growing so well after a year, a good size. They look great potted up, and your favourite one does indeed look great! Totally get where you're coming from with the Mealy Bugs attack... I've had a battle with them this year, more than ever before!! Every single day us being spent looking at each cactus and checking, re-checking, spraying again and again, using homemade and off the shelf products to keep them at bay as best as possible. They are relentless it seems, I know how sad it is when they can devour our special cactus, especially ones we've had for some time, you're not alone, it's happened to me this year and I was 😡 but you do get through it eventually! Great video and wish you success going forward with your seedlings, and I love Astrophytum too! 😀👍🏻🌵

So happy to see you are back Henry :-D your Astro asterias seedlings are absolutely GORGEOUS :-D and they look so wonderful all re potted, argh yes I can 100% understand the frustration with Mealy bugs, they drive me absolutely nuts, I think we can never be 100% rid of them but out of all the things I have used the Neem oil seems to do the best at keeping them under control, the problem is with this heatwave Neem can't be used until it cools down a lot, but I have been sprinkling Diatomaceous Earth on the plant tables and it seems to be working very well so far at keeping the Beasts at a controllable level, thanks so much for sharing the repotting with us Henry, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Belfast for a wonderful new week XXXX <3

Glad they’re doing well for you, Henry 😊 I know the feeling when you get pests break out, it’s extremely annoying. Don’t let them win 👍🏻 Look forward to more updates on the seedlings. Thank you for sharing with us, have a wonderful day and new week from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌺🏜

Sorry for the mistake! These are 'shinshowa' not shinshorn please try and ignore this. 😂 Happy growing! 🌸🌵☀️

Great video! 😊 I have the exact same light! I got it as a present. It’s a great light that has so many amazing features.

Hi Henry, very interesting infos and very well explained, many thanks for sharing! Kind regards and best wishes, happy growing!! 👍🌵

I live in the south of Spain and I've had my two oldest Lophophora for 11 years - from the size of the plants I've grown from their seed, I'm guessing they were a good 4-5 years old when I got them. We get up to 40 plus degrees in summer and down to a couple of degrees below zero in winter and they stay on the outside windowsills all year. They're potted in a pretty ordinary cactus mix with chips of local dolomite limestone added and top dressed with the limestone for the oldest plants and baked clay pellets for the others. Our tap water has a high calcium content and that's what I use - I've never lost a single plant including the second generation from seed which are now about 7-8 years old and flowering regularly. I had an infestation of root mealybug a while back so I unpotted the affected plants, washed the tap roots carefully and treated them with a cinnamon bath and they're all fine now. Truly wonderful plants!!

The matter with the distilled water is more complex. It is not directly harmful because it is going through the soil first, an thus mineralizing itself in the process. The "problem" is that plants themselfs acidify the soil they are in over time. In the ground, this is balanced out by the surrounding soil, in pots it is either done with adding lime or simply tap-water that contains some lime. If you only use soft or distilled water, the acidification is unaltered. BUT: Your plants may actually prefer acidic soil, so it is not even a problem at all times...

I been waiting with anticipation for this unboxing video!! 😁 So happy @mrhualed sent you a grow light to try out! Lovely video Henry, so great you can add some extra light to your set up...look forward to your future videos...Happy growing! 👍🏻🌵😊🪴

That’s great you’ve got a new grow light, Henry. Seen a few people unbox these ones and they seem to be pretty decent. Will definitely give your seedlings a boost. Thanks for sharing with us. Have a wonderful Sunday from Edith & myself 👍🏻🌵☀️🏜

My experience is clay pots are best as they dry quicker than plastic. Helps prevent rot from overwatering. (I love to water plants) As with the original video, very good information. In our area tap water is full of chlorine all year long. If you let the water sit for 24 hours the chlorine evaporates. The other problem is in the winter and more so spring when the road salt is running from the roads inot the water supply. It increases the salinity of tap water and that can't be removed. Some plants are sensitive to this but I have no idea if lophophoras is or isn't. I do use un-boiled rain water and have had no problem. Boiling it won't cause a problem. Thumbs up.

What an awesome gifts from Daz and Edith. I got some fantastic plants from them too. That’s a beautiful variegated fairy castle cactus. The variegated gymnos are awesome, that’s a great addition to your collection. I love stinkies too (caralluma and others) I just watched your video 2years ago and your voice changed a lot, you’re a big boy now 😁

Lovely collection 💚🌵

Those are great plants that Daz and Edith sent you! They just gave your collection a boost. 😉 I hope they all grow well for you. Looking forward to more videos from you. CHEERS, Henry. ☕️☕️

Lovely plants selection from Daz & Edith...I also had an unboxing of cactus & succulent plants from Daz & Edith!😊 Thank you for showing the lovely plants you received 🙂 🏜

They look great all potted up, Henry. Yes the variegated Aloe doesn’t like a lot of sunlight. The Aloe at 11:00 is descoingsii x haworthioides and the one at 14:18 is Aristaloe aristata 😊 Edith & I are so happy you like everything we sent. We look forward to future updates on them and hope all the seeds germinate well for you, too. Have a great day from us both 👍🏻🌵☀️🌼🏜

You are most welcome, Henry! Daz and I are happy that you like them and we know that you will take good care of them. Thank you for this video. ❤️🌺🌸🌼🌵❤️

A lovely selection of Haworthia seeds, the germination at the end of video looked great, Haworthia look like a great plant to grow from seed 😊 A beautiful card you received, its amazing the efforts people put in to the plant gifts they send, such care. Happy growing to you 🌵🌵🌵😊👍🏻

WOW really wonderful Haworthia seeds from Sandyssucculentgarden and beautiful card too, thanks so much for sharing your amazing new Haworthia seeds Henry, and so looking forward to watching the sowing vid, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Tuesday today XXXX <3

That’s awesome, Henry. I got some Haworthia seeds from Sandy recently as well, even though they were older seeds the germination rate on most of them was still pretty high. I love those stamps as well, very cool. Had some nice succulent ones on my one. Looking forward to seeing the updates on these and I’ll include some Haworthia seeds for you from my plants as well 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing with us, have a great day from Edith & myself. Happy growing 🌵☀️🌼🏜

I water them when they wrinkle up a bit. Usually, it takes up to two months.

Lophophora are such a great genus sucks that williamsii are illegal in the u.s

Great video Henry with lots of very useful information with growing these awesome plants. Thank you for sharing with us. Have a great evening from Edith & myself. Happy growing 🌵☀️🌼🏜

I learnt a lot listening to that . Very well explained 👍😊

I like this idea, although I like them all equally as much, so they’d all go in S 😂 Have a great day and weekend from Edith & myself. Happy growing 🌵☀️🏜

Is this the one you got from the woods when we went for a walk ? 😊

That fantastic news you have germinated Fern spores, I LOVE Ferns, and its so exciting to get germinating the spores, thanks so much for sharing Henry and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Tuesday afternoon XXXXX <3

Nice. Other plants than cacti are very welcome. I'm actually interested in growind ferns from spores. So this was perfect 🙂

👍🏻🌱🌵🌱 Happy growing!

All plant content is awesome content 😊 Hope these ferns do well for you and look forward to seeing the updates on them. Happy growing 🌵☀️🌼🌺🏜
