    hello, here in brazil we have many species of cacti in nature, but we don't have many specialized stores, some species around here are very rare and when they appear they are very expensive, so when you show these places and stores specialized in cacti, it's incredible, great work

    Wow, I’m always so happy for new videos. Living in frigid Minnesota, these videos really help ease the time that passes while I wait to take my collection back outside in the spring. Thanks Hunter, keep the quest going! Also it’s super cool to see cactus nurseries that grow from seed! It seems like that’s pretty uncommon.

    That must be great, in the business of something you have as a hobby as well. I also love your location in CA where you can grow a lot of you merhandise OUTDOORS without fear of them getting too much water or cold weather. I have a collection of succulents and tropical plants where here in our subtropical climate (in Lake Charles, LA, almost coastal), most of what we have to worry about is them getting too much rain. Mine are under an awning on a patio adjacent to a room where I can scoot them in case of an occasional light freeze. So far this year, I've had to bring them inside for a couple of nights, and we're at the end of January '23, so go figure. Best of luck in your business. 🪴🌴

      It is the same. Jay was married to kate. He started the vista location early 1980s. Kate since past. Vern the man that was selling Kate's collection past away last year. The name he used was cactus Kate's.

    Hot nail?

    • @bonniebonnie7149
      @bonniebonnie7149 Рік тому

      I think it kills the growth tip so it will make many baby plants at the top. It’s a faster way to propagate them than seeds.

    • @billyjack3580
      @billyjack3580 Рік тому

      It’s a propagator’s trick. Heat up a nail and burn out the growing point in order to encourage multiple new growing points. Mostly used with species which tend to be solitary or unbranched.

    • @GreenCanvasInteriorscape
      @GreenCanvasInteriorscape 8 місяців тому

      I think it's a technique where you jam a hot nail into the growing point to stimulate pupping
      A similar technique that does less physical damage is called coring where you take a knife and core out the top growing point, I've done it to Madagascar palms, don't do it going into the Winter though on them specifically.
      Induces dormant growth points to activate

      Coring does more physical damage I meant
