This is a BRILLIANT video Ana, and very informative and helpful and so wonderful to pot up the cute little pups, its a beautiful Rebutia and a bargain for a fiver especially with the 32 pups haha, I am not a fan of grated cacti either LOL! thanks so much for sharing this wonderful video Ana, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and CAFFEINE and PLANT POWER to Las Vegas for a sunny Friday ahead XXXXX
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a method to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my login password. I love any tips you can give me
@Ashton Odin Thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Love your videos! I got involved with cacti about 40 years ago, but never had a clear understanding of how to take care of them, until I start watching your wonderful Cactus Caffeine videos. I got books but watching your step-by -step videos I’m now on able to take care of about 300 cacti and suculents. Maybe more… Maybe less… Don’t know exactly. Anyway, thank you very, very much for the hard work producing these videos and for sharing your knowledge. One last thing: There’s any way I can support your efforts and dedication? Alex, Greenville, South Carolina
Hi Alex. Thank you so much for your kind words. 40 years of keeping your cactus collection going is impressive and 300 is a lot! 😃 I’m glad you find my videos helpful. I’m sure I can learn a lot from your experiences as well. As for your last question, underneath all my videos is a heart with the word “thanks”. You can support me there or I also have a paypal. But really, just watching my videos and possibly sharing them to your friends already means a lot to me. 😊
Really enjoy your videos, Ana! You have renewed my interest in cacti. Planning to get myself a small temporary greenhouse for outside this winter to see if I can get some of my cacti to bloom. Bought some mature ones from Mr. Wigand, so should stand a chance if I keep them cool this winter. If I have any success, I may purchase a permanent greenhouse for next year. That has long been a dream of mine to have my own greenhouse. As for grafted plants, I feel as you do. I would prefer to grow them in a more natural-looking way, but understand the utility and even necessity of grafting. So many of the roses we grew in the Midwest when I lived there, and also in the Southeast, where I live now are grafted for better root stock. They are not so noticeable as grafted plants the way cactus are. It's easy to forget until you prune them back too far and end up with two colors of roses on the same plant because over-pruning allowed the root stock to begin to produce its own flowers again. Keep up the terrific videos! Lisa
That is so funny about the 2 colored roses😁. Although, I wouldn’t mind that look. 😉 A greenhouse really helps control the cold weather. Also protects your cacti from too much rain. Although you can still grow Trichocereus even without a greenhouse as long as they don’t get snowed on. They are pretty tough. 😉 About grafting, I’ve recently tried it to see if I have the skills. Lol! That is one of my most recent video.
Having some coffee with you today! Thanks for inviting me into your cactus garden. I love rooting up offsets! When I see plants with offsets, I always see it as a good value because you can propagate them! 🌵🌵😀💕
Hello Anna those rebutia looks great. I also don’t like grafted plants. Rebutia are easy to propagate. Another awesome video.you need to be careful because rebutia are easy to mold and die
Like picking little grapes! Haha! Great idea using the take out containers! And a little recycling in the process!😊👍 Good idea with the rooting powder also! They will get a great start! And yes, what a great deal! All those heliosas!! And you saved the last plant from the clearance rack! Very cool Anna!! As far as. Grafting goes, I like it for certain reasons. If you have a plant like ubelmannia pectinifera , that is hard to keep on its own roots , it's great cause you can have the plant and not worry about root loss. I tried to grow parodia werneri ( Notocactus ubelmannias) three different times . all lost their roots and died. I really love the flowers of this plant! So now this time I grafted it on stenocereus prunosus and got to see it bloom again this year thanks to grafting. For me the Hylocereus stock used for grafting like the one you bought and I have too, are weak and subject to rot. Like the ruby ball gymnocalycium mihanovichii , their stocks always rot and without the stock they can't live. So they remain a short lived novelty. I bought one 5 years ago , cut it off and regrafted it to the stenocereus and now it is huge , healthy and has even bloomed profusely a couple of times. This year it didn't but continues to grow great!! Also grafting helps crested plants grow stronger cause the roots on crested plants are usually weak. Yes I realize this looks odd or out of place sometimes, or may change characteristics. But if you want it stronger and sometimes easier to keep. Grafting is a benefit so you don't have to worry about losing a rare plant. And may also stimulate the growth of offsets for propagation such as you have done in this great video😊👍!! Thanks bunches for the shout out!! Also very cool😄👍👍 From Morris park in the Ozarks ,out to Las Vegas" have a great evening Anna!! Peace,Love,Plants!!!✌💖🌵🌹🌴🌷🌿🌸🌻🍀🌺
Love your video on Propagating Cactuses I dont like grafting either. I had know luck. Just a waste of time.Keep ot up Ana. I've learned a lot watching your videos. Thank you. An take care. Judith Circleville Ohio Where they grow the Biggest Pumpkins at the Pumpkin Show. Cheers 🌻

Nice video, Ana. ❤️ I used to hate grafted cacti too but realised its good points. Gives us a chance to grow very difficult cacti from seeds and you can always use that for propagating and growing pups. Just that dragonfruit cactus as a rootstock is weak and won’t last very long unlike Harrisias and Pereskiopsis. 🥰
Great video, Ana. That was a bargain price and in a way it’s great having that plant now for a propagation plant. I plan to graft certain cacti in the future just to speed up growth but then get them back on their own roots once they reach a good size. Of course any that are heavily variegated then grafting is the best option. Thank you for sharing with us as always, Ana. From Edith & myself, have a wonderful day 😊🌵🌺🌼☀️🏜☕️
Thank you for the great info. I look forward to trying it myself. I have a red moon cactus . The host cactus that it has been grafted to is rotting away so I will try to root the red babies directly to the soil as you have done in this video. I hope it work🤞
Oh wait, the red, orange and yellow moon cactus won’t survive in its own roots. They need to be always grafted. These are lab grown cultivars. So far, only the purple ones have been found to thrive in its own roots.
I actually love the ownroot cactus because there more likely natural than the grafted cactus. But there has the benefits of the grafted cactus,as I know it in Indonesia,there are lots of grafted cactus,the benefits of grafted cactus is there has 2 lifes if it get to root rot,the first who die is the stamp that the stamp will going to shrink and then your cactus can easily remove from the stamp and then propagate it. So the next benefits is that grafted cactus can grow easily and if the cactus is 3 or more years old,the cactus easily start produce the flower buds and flower more faster, that's I know from the grafted and non-grafted cactus.
Wonderful video, Ana. I did have 2 grated cactus and the root stock did rot. I was quite afraid at first watching you twist and turn the pups... luckily all came off really well except for one. My answer would be NAY ☺️☺️
I honestly thought it was going to be an easy task. But those babies were hugging their mama so tight. ☺️ Everybody does things differently in the garden. But what matters most is our love for plants!
I'd twist off pups on a cheap cactus like this, but not on my more precious cacti. That can create cavities which don't dry out well. I'd slice with a sharp blade :)
I have quite a few different ones of these. They grow perfectly in soil and don't need to be grafted. I would happily send you an assortment of some. I am in the U.K.
I do not like the look of grafted but they have their place espacially as a tool to support other cacti when growing. I will be planting some pups later using your video as a base. Thankyou Ana.
So glad I got to watch this, I'm currently trying to root a couple of sulcorebutia pups. Such great help, thank you po. Btw, i like grafting po hehe mukhang kanya kanya po talaga tayo ng preferences, but what important is our love for our passion.💞
So true, we all do things differently and there is no one right way. Our unique ways on how we care for our plants makes the hobby even more interesting. 👍🏼😃🌵
Hi Ana! Five dollars?! 🤪 And 32 pups! That was a bargain for sure, 😄🌵🌵🌵. You are going to have the orange explosion when they will flower😍. Thank you for mentioning, you're very kind. Loved the video, I didn't knew the names of the parts of grafted cacti in English (I'm not a big fan of grafted ones and my english is growing yet, hahaha), thank you for teaching and sharing. Sending hugs and love to you from Spain.😘
Great video! You do a good job of knowing when to speed up the video. One question I've had for a while--why do cacti ever need humidity, if their natural habitat is always dry? What am I not understanding?
Love your coffee mug. It's sooo cute! I never understood the reason for grafting but now I do. It's only a nay because I don't like how it looks but yay for the reason. Thanks Ana! (Sorry..is it Ana or Anna?). Great explanation on how you do this!
I enjoy all of your videos. I just started growing succulents and I like cacti the most. I like how you give a lot of details as you’re showing us how to do things. I just bought a Moon cactus. I liked the color of the grafted part which prompted me to buy a pink moon cactus. I didn’t know they produced pups and that you could propagate them. I’ll have to find your video with the next step. I think I agree with you. You’re getting a lot of pups but the plant with the base and the Scion with all those pups Isn’t very attractive.
With out grafted we would have to wait forever to see the potential of slow growing cati. I like them grafted and no grafted. Only with grafted you can catch potential problems before the cactus starts to rot. The graft takes most of the beating so you are able to graft it again.
Hi Ana! Thank you for sharing this video. I also have the same plant and I did do propagation (the one I sent you on instagram) luckily they rooted weeks after following your advice. I am now so excited to see them grow into their regular sizes so I can make a bowl of them. It also flowered to me this summer (in PH). Keep Safe Ana!
Very nice job Anna. That’s a bargain😍...32 babies ? That’s a lot😘😍. I will buy it in a heartbeat. 😍. I do not like grafted cactus myself except for 1...the grafted moon cactus😊😊😊
This is really helpful Ana. I actually love my grafted Rubutia - named Magnus Magnusson because he's such a strange brain-like looking plant...but tragically he's developed root rot and I'm going to try and save parts of him using your method. Could you then re-graft some of the rooted pups back onto a new rootstock if you wanted?
Thanks for sharing. I loved seeing how you made the holes with the hot screw. I Hate grafted cactus. They look stupid. Also if they can't grow on their own they shouldn't be growing. No one goes around in the wild sticking them on other plants. I love astrophytum asterias but hate seeing them on sticks like that. Oh I keep forgetting to check your community page. I must do that. I haven't posted to mine in a long time.
I’m glad you like the hot screw video. I was anticipating many questions on how I did the holes so I figured might as well show it. It is very interesting to know the different opinions growers have on grafting. Everyone has their own ways and this makes the hobby even more interesting. 😉
Hi Anna how many times you fertilize your cactus..? I watch some blog from Philippines she's using AJINOMOTO had you tried that... Im also in vegas I just started growing cactus recently.. I could say I'm addicted to them..
Hello Haydee. It is nice to know another grower from Vegas. 😉 I fertilize 1-2x a month during spring and summer. No, I haven’t tried AJINOMOTO. I think it is used as a cheaper alternative to other types of fertilizer. Fortunately here in the US, cactus fertilizer is plenty and affordable so I prefer to use them. Just recently, I tried adding worm compost to my soil. But it is too soon to tell the difference. 😉
I actually just bought 2 of them today, I wanted the bottom to grow dragon fruit but they have lots of pups I want to try to grow in soil, I'm assuming the mother plant may die once I take it off but I'm going to try rooting that as well. I don't have rooting powder so I'll be trying with cinnamon so we'll see how this goes.
Not a huge fan of grafted plants... But I'm also sure it has saved me from rotting out my crested euphorbia. But sometimes, particularly with the colourful moon cacti, I don't think they are meant to be long term plants, and I find it a bit wasteful. They are pretty though.
I purchased a little inexpensive pot that came with some cactus seeds a year ago. I kept in a ziplock bag and kept damp...its been over a year and I have 3 babies that are only 1/4 of an inch. How should I care for them..do they need more sun. They are so little and fragile!?
Did anyone made experiences with opuntia mycrodasis the yellow one. I want to ropot it in a bigger pot so i wont be able to bring it back inside during winter. Can i leave it outside the whole year here in Germany. Temperarures fall rarely under -5 celcius. How much Cold can it take?
How long should we wait until we can propogate the cactus? Mine has been growing for 1 or 2 months and it isn't getting very big so how long till we can propogate? And how long do the pups take to grow on the mother plant
I have been told that grafted cacti pups can't be planted only grafted again onto another plant.. I have some grafted cacti they are called moon cactus plants and some have a few pups I'd love to remove but scared they will die if I try to remove them. I'm not a lover of grafted but the I got em when I first started getting into cacti
Moon cactus (with the exception of the purple variety) must always be grafted to live. They do not have chlorophyll to photosynthesize on their own. All other cacti (as far as I know) can live on their own roots. They are grafted to speed up their growth or to lessen the risk of root rot.🙂
Someone took the time to purchase the grafting stock, cactus, and container.. add soil, while watering it and giving it a space to sit and time to grow. Then performing the grafting surgery and making sure it healed. Then giving it a repotting and more time to to grow. On top of that it has tons of pups. All that time and effort and it was on sale for $5 🤣😭💯👍 Great find.
Hi Ana, thanks for these truly inspirational videos. They are much appreciated. In terms of temperature, whilst rooting, what would you say is the optimal range? Is there a need for some bottom heat to accelerate root formation? Greetings from the UK ❤️
For me, heat does not help as much as humidity. Humidity makes them root faster as long as the temperature is mild and not freezing. But of course heat helps, too.
Ana I'm new to cactus. I was given a few pups in December. Never heard of using rooting powder or cinnamon so I just planted them in a pot of organic potting soil. Will they die off or grow anyway? Please help. Should I put my pot of pups in a Ziploc bag and watch for condensation??
Ana. I'm kind of new now to growing cactus and you've taught me a lot of great tips and tricks to growing. My question to you is I have an Arizona Cactus I bought from a guy traveling across country and have had it for a good 4 years now. This cactus gives me a huge amount of pups and even pups on pups on Pups! Can I propegate a pup with pups growing on the original 'pups'? I've been watching for this on your site and others, and haven't seen it. Have I got a unique situation? Thanks in advance.
You have one giving cactus there. 😃 Yes, you can propagate pups from pups. The principle is the same as propagating the original pup. Just place them on top of soil and do not bury them too deep. Try to keep the top of the soil moist until they form roots. Then you can start giving more water. 🙂
Hello Ana! Have a great day with a coffe cup tomorrow morning! I’m Beatriz the grandmother from Miami with 90 degrees and I want to buy some aterirla to block the excess sun but Home Depot didn’t have the other day so I’m ordering from amazon! Do you have any suggestions on size of 40 50 70 or 90 percent blockage! Green or black! Thank you very much! Always learning from you!!!!
It depends on how much sun the area will be getting. I would suggest not going over 70%. At 90 degrees, maybe even a 50% shade cloth is sufficient if it is morning sun and for a few hours only. I have 70% but our temperature here is 105-113F everyday.

When mine rotted from overwatering, it actually started in the scion. I cut it off and now I have a dragonfruit that is very big and for 4 years now.
When you watered, did you hit the scion?
In fear of that I always try to water just the soil, not the cacti anywhere it protrudes above the soil

Thanks so much!
I wish I can have some cactus from you. More power
I don’t like the grafted neither. I think the separate cacti are beautiful by their self. I enjoyed your video propagation.
When is the best time of the year to graft cacti and succulents?
During their growing season, spring and summer 👍🏼
@@CactusCaffeine Awesome!! Thanks so much!!
I enjoy all of your videos. I just started growing succulents and I like cacti the most. I like how you give a lot of details as you’re showing us how to do things. I just bought a Moon cactus. I liked the color of the grafted part which prompted me to buy a pink moon cactus. I didn’t know they produced pups and that you could propagate them. I’ll have to find your video with the next step. I think I agree with you. You’re getting a lot of pups but the plant with the base and the Scion with all those pups Isn’t very attractive.
I’d like to see the cacti your son picked out in the dig your own cacti.
I showed them at the end of that video. 🙂
With out grafted we would have to wait forever to see the potential of slow growing cati. I like them grafted and no grafted. Only with grafted you can catch potential problems before the cactus starts to rot. The graft takes most of the beating so you are able to graft it again.
So true. I had a change of heart a few months after this video and tried grafting myself. 😉
Me to. It's fun to hack plants.
Thanks for the video.. explained very beautifully 👍👍
Hi Ana! Thank you for sharing this video. I also have the same plant and I did do propagation (the one I sent you on instagram) luckily they rooted weeks after following your advice. I am now so excited to see them grow into their regular sizes so I can make a bowl of them. It also flowered to me this summer (in PH). Keep Safe Ana!
Teacher AJ congratulations, success! 😃 Padala ka ng ulan dito, almost 4 months nang walang ulan dito. 🥵
Very nice job Anna. That’s a bargain😍...32 babies ? That’s a lot😘😍. I will buy it in a heartbeat. 😍. I do not like grafted cactus myself except for 1...the grafted moon cactus😊😊😊
Grafted cactus are a nay for me 😉
For me too but I have come to understand their usefulness. 😉
Thank you🌵
This is really helpful Ana. I actually love my grafted Rubutia - named Magnus Magnusson because he's such a strange brain-like looking plant...but tragically he's developed root rot and I'm going to try and save parts of him using your method. Could you then re-graft some of the rooted pups back onto a new rootstock if you wanted?
Yes, rooted cacti can be regrafted. Good luck! 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing. I loved seeing how you made the holes with the hot screw. I Hate grafted cactus. They look stupid. Also if they can't grow on their own they shouldn't be growing. No one goes around in the wild sticking them on other plants. I love astrophytum asterias but hate seeing them on sticks like that. Oh I keep forgetting to check your community page. I must do that. I haven't posted to mine in a long time.
I’m glad you like the hot screw video. I was anticipating many questions on how I did the holes so I figured might as well show it. It is very interesting to know the different opinions growers have on grafting. Everyone has their own ways and this makes the hobby even more interesting. 😉
@@CactusCaffeine Well you yourself said you don't like it so I'm glad you agree.
Hi Ana good morning, Ana can we do same with moon cactus ??🤔🌵🌵💚💚❤❤
Only those with green coloring on them or the purple ones. The rest won’t survive in their own roots without at least a green pigment on them.
Did the Rebutia root for you? Do u have an update on them? :)
Very very cool
Hi Anna how many times you fertilize your cactus..? I watch some blog from Philippines she's using AJINOMOTO had you tried that... Im also in vegas I just started growing cactus recently.. I could say I'm addicted to them..
Hello Haydee. It is nice to know another grower from Vegas. 😉 I fertilize 1-2x a month during spring and summer. No, I haven’t tried AJINOMOTO. I think it is used as a cheaper alternative to other types of fertilizer. Fortunately here in the US, cactus fertilizer is plenty and affordable so I prefer to use them. Just recently, I tried adding worm compost to my soil. But it is too soon to tell the difference. 😉
I actually just bought 2 of them today, I wanted the bottom to grow dragon fruit but they have lots of pups I want to try to grow in soil, I'm assuming the mother plant may die once I take it off but I'm going to try rooting that as well. I don't have rooting powder so I'll be trying with cinnamon so we'll see how this goes.
Not a huge fan of grafted plants... But I'm also sure it has saved me from rotting out my crested euphorbia. But sometimes, particularly with the colourful moon cacti, I don't think they are meant to be long term plants, and I find it a bit wasteful. They are pretty though.
Nay on the grafted cactus.
For me cacti are like Pokémon - gotta catch’em all!
I noticed you dont use gloves when handling some if your babies. I always get spines in me..some are so small..ouch! How do you get them out!??
This cactus has its spines pressed to its body. But for other cactus, I always wear gloves and a pair of tongs also helps in handling them.
Saw a bunch on reg dirt some overnight
Do you have a video on how you make your coffee? It looks good.
Hahaha. 😉
I'm not a fan of grafted cacti much either, but I am a fan of a deal! $5!!!! NICEE!
tank fly that is funny! 😄
Very interesting, i liked It. 😃
I purchased a little inexpensive pot that came with some cactus seeds a year ago. I kept in a ziplock bag and kept damp...its been over a year and I have 3 babies that are only 1/4 of an inch. How should I care for them..do they need more sun. They are so little and fragile!?
Some seedlings really grow slow. But if you think they are not growing, you can change their soil.
If my blossfeldia graft didn’t mean so much to me, I would try to snap one off 🤣
Thanks for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Did anyone made experiences with opuntia mycrodasis the yellow one. I want to ropot it in a bigger pot so i wont be able to bring it back inside during winter. Can i leave it outside the whole year here in Germany. Temperarures fall rarely under -5 celcius. How much Cold can it take?
Thank you ❤ i learned a lot today 😊
How long should we wait until we can propogate the cactus? Mine has been growing for 1 or 2 months and it isn't getting very big so how long till we can propogate? And how long do the pups take to grow on the mother plant
hi.What happens if we bury it too deep?
I have been told that grafted cacti pups can't be planted only grafted again onto another plant.. I have some grafted cacti they are called moon cactus plants and some have a few pups I'd love to remove but scared they will die if I try to remove them. I'm not a lover of grafted but the I got em when I first started getting into cacti
Moon cactus (with the exception of the purple variety) must always be grafted to live. They do not have chlorophyll to photosynthesize on their own. All other cacti (as far as I know) can live on their own roots. They are grafted to speed up their growth or to lessen the risk of root rot.🙂
I have some seeds if you're interested Ana ♡ Notocactus Miilitaris possibly hybrid babies... I cross pollinated a bunch and got seeds galore. 🙌
So cute love it. 👍
Thank you. 😊🌵☕️
Hello cactus caffeine may I ask you a question the name of this cacti
I’m not a fan of grafts in bonsai , and no in cactus. I’m a newbie . Now I’ll get/make them for propigtion but would root them on there own roots.
What is the white powder?
Rooting powder.
@@CactusCaffeine thanks
Someone took the time to purchase the grafting stock, cactus, and container.. add soil, while watering it and giving it a space to sit and time to grow. Then performing the grafting surgery and making sure it healed. Then giving it a repotting and more time to to grow. On top of that it has tons of pups. All that time and effort and it was on sale for $5 🤣😭💯👍
Great find.
It's fairly likely that the grafting stock and cactus weren't purchased, but grown :)
Hi Ana, thanks for these truly inspirational videos. They are much appreciated.
In terms of temperature, whilst rooting, what would you say is the optimal range? Is there a need for some bottom heat to accelerate root formation?
Greetings from the UK ❤️
For me, heat does not help as much as humidity. Humidity makes them root faster as long as the temperature is mild and not freezing. But of course heat helps, too.
Ana I'm new to cactus. I was given a few pups in December. Never heard of using rooting powder or cinnamon so I just planted them in a pot of organic potting soil. Will they die off or grow anyway? Please help. Should I put my pot of pups in a Ziploc bag and watch for condensation??
~Could you do a comparison between rooting powder and cinnamon to see which gives the best results. Salamat
Love it,cool advice too ❣️❣️
Ana. I'm kind of new now to growing cactus and you've taught me a lot of great tips and tricks to growing. My question to you is I have an Arizona Cactus I bought from a guy traveling across country and have had it for a good 4 years now. This cactus gives me a huge amount of pups and even pups on pups on Pups! Can I propegate a pup with pups growing on the original 'pups'? I've been watching for this on your site and others, and haven't seen it. Have I got a unique situation? Thanks in advance.
You have one giving cactus there. 😃 Yes, you can propagate pups from pups. The principle is the same as propagating the original pup. Just place them on top of soil and do not bury them too deep. Try to keep the top of the soil moist until they form roots. Then you can start giving more water. 🙂
@@CactusCaffeine Thank you Ana. I'm about to bed down my pups for the Winter now so they can rest a little. 👍
Hello Ana! Have a great day with a coffe cup tomorrow morning! I’m Beatriz the grandmother from Miami with 90 degrees and I want to buy some aterirla to block the excess sun but Home Depot didn’t have the other day so I’m ordering from amazon! Do you have any suggestions on size of 40 50 70 or 90 percent blockage! Green or black! Thank you very much! Always learning from you!!!!
It depends on how much sun the area will be getting. I would suggest not going over 70%. At 90 degrees, maybe even a 50% shade cloth is sufficient if it is morning sun and for a few hours only. I have 70% but our temperature here is 105-113F everyday.
The color to me does not matter really. But they say black absorbs heat. But I can’t tell the difference as our weather is always hot. 🥵 😄
Are they rooted??
Love you anna
Update?
hi there.. im also a plant lover..
Grafted cactus is a nay for me , but rebutia heliosa is a yea for sure :)
