It's still warm here in Texas but the sun has finally decided to shine and the clouds are leaving us alone every day. What an awful summer it's been. It rained every day from early April until middle of July. My succulents were all stretched, exclusively grow lights not enough. But it's cool and dry now and my succulents colors have all come back. My cactus seem to be happy no matter what I do with them. They are growing happy, plump and lovely. Had lots of blooms, thanks to the tips from Anna. Wish I had a way to share photos in UA-cam.
I put all my cacti in quite early this year, as I won't be in state to do it later. In Colorado I could have left my cacti out until this week. The frost has been very mild up to this point. I still have a few succulents outside that survived a frost of -1°C. I also had a Santa Rita Opuntia with mealy bugs, so I left it outside to possibly kill the bugs? I also gave it a soapy watering before the cold set in... All my rosette type succulents also came alive too. I thought some of them were maybe dead, but now they are green and thriving. I took some aloe propagations earlier last spring after almost killing them, and they were stressed all summer... Now they are bright green and thriving. They have almost grown back to their original size already. Super honoured to see the green children doing so well. Thanks for the video Ana. Cheers!
I'm in Vancouver which has a very short warm season a year so I've already moved my cacti in my room! Vancouver is called Raincouver in the winter....very wet until spring. My cacti always enjoy watching rain and snow from the windows under growing lights through winter🌵
FANTASTIC Fall update video Ana, and all your plants are looking so amazing, and so wonderful to see the blooms on your Aloes, and your Pilosocereus looks so beautiful in the gorgeous pot, my Euphorbia's and Aloes and Stapelias and Haworthias are all coming back into growth now its cooler, but all the desert cacti are sleeping, the weather has been very mild here in Ireland for October and I still have my not so cold hardy cacti and succulent plants outside and in the polytunnel, but I will definitely have to be bringing them in next week, I will be thinking of you when you move your plants for Winter its a lot of work, no rest for us plant wicked haha, thanks so much for sharing the wonderful update Ana, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and CAFFEINE and PLANT POWER to Las Vegas for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
Lovely vid Ana 😎 Doing similar here, moving everything to the new greenhouse and building a heated cloche for the ones that need it 🌵 Only 6c/42f here tonight, getting an autumn chill in the mornings 😮
In MN I had to bring mine in a couple weeks ago. My outdoor cacti are starting to shrivel for winter. Now I'm waiting for all the leaves to drop so I get more light in the windows.
As always so informative! Tk you for all the details you go thru! I lost eight cacti because too much rain and humidity! I’m opposite you but still learning and enjoying them! Let see this fall and winter how I do!
Here in Aguascalientes Mexico the last few years it has not dropped below freezing. I have to keep a sharp eye on the forcast but I've been pretty lucky. About 4 yeas ago we had a real cold snap and many people lost their plants but back then I didn't have that many and I brought them all inside. Now is a different story, I have way too many to bring them all in, and several are just too big to move easily. . I keep my fingers crossed.
Great video, Ana. Hard to believe it’s already that time of year again. Hopefully both our winters won’t be too cold and pass quickly, like the summer did lol. All your plants are looking great, spotted a few from Edith & myself and they look like they’re doing well 😊 Thank you for sharing with us as always, Ana. Have a wonderful day from me and Edith 🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜☕️
Honestly was waiting for this vlog to drop, a lot of helpful tips for the first time moving my collection indoors for winter and for a point of reference. Thanks!
I'm learning a lot from your channel, I'm glad I found your channel, I have a few cactus in my garden right now which I have to learn how to take care of them, the previous owner of the house we bought has grown very nice cactus so I am now learning how to take care of them.
Here in the northern part of the Philippines (particularly Mount Data) where we have very cold temperature starting november to february.. I Love your Collections.
I noticed you have a purple living rock at the bottom of the screen at about minute 1:17. How did you get 3? Do they multiply? I have 1. It bloomed last year and has regrown new leaves. Do they ever multiply into more than 1 set of leaves?
Here in Northeast Ohio fall is well on it's way. Moraine locusts are the first trees in tis area to change color. They turned bright yellow last month and have dropped all their leaves. Other trees are no beginning to show fall color. The temperature outside is 62F with a low expected of50F. It has been raining for the last couple of hours, but is taking a rest right now. In this part of Ohio, we can expect a lot of rain or snow from now until late February with mostly dark, cloudy days. This used to be a problem, but I have lots of LED lighting so it is not so gloomy now. Today I am resetting the timer on my lights. From October to March, I set my timer to come on at sunrise and go off at sunset. today I will set them to come on at 7:45AM and go off at 6:30PM. Although I have little control of the temperature in my apartment, I can give them a short day in winter, so they do have an idea of the season's passing. In winter, my plant room temperature ranges from 63F to 73F. In summer it ranges from 75F to 85F, depending on outside weather, because I leave the window open except during rainstorms. My bursera plant leaves are turning color and getting ready to drop, so I have stopped watering them. ( I have Bursera laxiflora, Bursera microphylla and Bursera fagaroides.) I will also stop watering my cacti except for two Mams which are still blooming. My aloes have been blooming all summer and continue, so I will be watering them as well as my Aeoniums and pelargoniums.
Love your videos & your cactus 🌵 😀thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’m from Texas (southwest) doesn’t get to cold here we still get our 90 degrees weather. I just hope we don’t freeze on February again😂. Is 50 degree weather still good for cactus?
Hi Ana, thank you for this video. Your cactus collection is so beautiful. I live in Florida zone 8b/9a (right on the boundary of both grow zones.). So far the weather here has been somewhat cool for us for this time of year. We have been having lower 80s during the day and lowers 60s at night. I'm hoping my in ground cactus will do fine during the winter. Do you have a website you use to know which cacti and succulents are safe to leave outside? Working on creating a wheelbarrow cactus garden using the cacti and succulents I've grown inside. Now I'm second guessing the idea. I Would hate to loose my cacti and succulents due do not have giving them the proper environment.
Oh, that sounds like a great project. I don’t use any specific website. I usually just Google a cactus and read it’s description from anywhere. Opuntia and San Pedro cactus can handle more water. Just make sure your soil is very well draining, lots more grit than organic since Florida gets a lot of rain.
My cacti are still outside. They've been dry for almost two months now, as I give them their winter dormancy early, before any hard freezes. Once we start getting overnight frost (late this year) I'll bring them in at night and put them back outside in the day until daytime temps are below freezing or I get fed up, whichever comes first 😉 Then I will put them close to windows and water only about once a month until they start waking up in late winter. It would be much easier if I had a cold room to keep them in but one does what one can.
2 months dry now? Wow, you have an early start. Lol on the “I get fed up” 😁 That happens to me when I start moving in my plants. When I get tired, everyone else that are still out will just have to stay out cause my back already hurts. 😄 Good luck to us this winter!
@@CactusCaffeine 😂 I keep them dry on purpose (have to cover them every time it rains) because this is the only time I can give them cool and dry at the same time. Most successful cactus growers in Canada have either a cool greenhouse or a cold room. I have neither, so this is what I am trying. They are all still rather small so I don't know if this will work to make them bloom. Except for the Rebutia which responds well, but it's an easy one. It also blooms at an abnormal time because I've thrown its seasonal rhythms off. It comes in and gets warmer temperatures, shorter days and minimal water all at once. I'm sure I am confusing it... 😂
Great video. Love your big collection. New at collecting them. I live in Anaheim should I keep them indoor. The lowest temp gets to 54• Please help. Thank you!!
You don’t need to keep them indoors. They can take Southern California winter as you don’t get freezing temperatures. Just protect them from heavy rains in the winter. Your weather is perfect for cactus and succulents all year round and I envy you. 😉
Yes! I use that every winter to protect my big cacti that I cannot move. Also for the ones that I leave to overwinter outside in shelves, I wrap the shelves with that when freezing temps come. 🙂
I have a question😌🙏Do you put your Notocactus in your greenhouse? or bring them indoors? Here we get temperatures down to 20 and I have a greenhouse like yours. Our winter days are bright and sunny and the nights go down to 20s. All my mammillarias, echinopsis, trichocereus, escobaria survive winter very well, but I'm just worried about my Notocactus😩🙏
I have a couple of Notocactus ottonis that overwinters outside because they are too big for the greenhouse. But all my other Notocactus stays inside the greenhouse as they are not big or mature enough.
Tanung kolng po sa pilipinas walang winter po pano po ang pagdidilig sa kanila kasi po ako 15 ,30 ako magdilig po kinsenas katapusan po pag bagong bile po pag nk uproot 1month po bago ko diligan po...
Pareho po tayo 15 days rin po ako nagdidilig sa mga cactus sinisiguro ko na dry na yung lupa. Dahil umuulan ngayon bihira na lang kasi matagal mag dry ang lupa
Those are not due to lack of sunlight, though. They get plenty. If you watch my “Fertilizer Mistake” video, those are the result of that. But I’m keeping them as is to see if flowering next year will be affected. 🙂
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing succulents collection lovely
Thank you for watching. 🙂
i always watching ur video mam thank u for sharing ur care and tips po
Nice job, thanks for taking the time to share.
Beautiful video. I live in Ecuador and start the wet season. I have some problems with my cactis with the cochinilla algodonosa. 😩
Oh no! We all have different challenges. Good luck.
Beautiful cactus collection 🥰 like it

What a beautiful sight..it matches your beautiful mug..love it!
Rainy season here in Ph, I kept them inside hahaha....thank u for this btw 💯❤️
I like that Yellow crackled pot that the hawarthia is in!! 😍😍
Lovely vid Ana 😎 Doing similar here, moving everything to the new greenhouse and building a heated cloche for the ones that need it 🌵 Only 6c/42f here tonight, getting an autumn chill in the mornings 😮
I accidentally landed on your site, but wanted to say I loved the flute music in the beginning! Beautiful
Thank you so much. That means so much to my family since the flute is played by my young nephew who is born blind. 🙂 I will surely let him know.
I reduced my watering as well this cold season. All the aloe is looking so good now, Love your collection Ana
Hi Ana👍what a lovely collection you have❤️
What a good deal on your new pot Anna and you're right, the blue candle is the perfect cactus for it.
Great! Very very well Ana 🌵👍
I love your videos. I’m from Alberta, Canada and it was -1 here this morning. Nice and sunny now but definitely a chill in the air
In MN I had to bring mine in a couple weeks ago. My outdoor cacti are starting to shrivel for winter. Now I'm waiting for all the leaves to drop so I get more light in the windows.
Wonderful video! I love seeing your cacti Collection.
I love your coffee cups especially the more Aztec looking ones. I can't find beautiful cups like that.
Big like !!! TFS. Your collection amazes me every time 🤩
As always so informative! Tk you for all the details you go thru! I lost eight cacti because too much rain and humidity! I’m opposite you but still learning and enjoying them! Let see this fall and winter how I do!

I love your haworthia collection too have been watching your videos on tv so I don't leave a comment I love those mug with dunk pan de sal
Awesome
Hi Ken! I hope Japan winter will be mild this year.
Your winter temps are definitely panic conditions for me. So far typically we can hit lows of 30F at worst but occasionally even lower.
Here in Aguascalientes Mexico the last few years it has not dropped below freezing. I have to keep a sharp eye on the forcast but I've been pretty lucky. About 4 yeas ago we had a real cold snap and many people lost their plants but back then I didn't have that many and I brought them all inside.

Uh-oh. I spotted something that shouldn’t be there. Oops! 😉
@@CactusCaffeine haha yeah I spotted that 😂🤫
That’s a large inventory!!!! Everything looks great thanks for the info
Happy Fall ate anna 🤗🍂🌾

Thanks Anna love your fall video here in Barbados we have summer all year long so it's difficult for winter growers here
You are so lucky! ☺️
Hi I am from Malaysia and your collection are truely awesome!
Thank you for your kind words. ☺️
Here in the northern part of the Philippines (particularly Mount Data) where we have very cold temperature starting november to february..
I Love your Collections.
That is good weather for cactus. The change of temperature will encourage it to bloom in summer. Salamat po.
I love your cactus
Hi. It's the biggining of summer where I leave. But I have noticed that my aloes are also flowering and cactus are growing well.
I hope you have rollers on the shelves .
I was thinking the same thing! Would make things so much easier
Hi miss Anna!
I'm from Philippines, love your cacti:)
Salamat and hello Reyna! ☺️

Are you talking about my lithops? That is a recent purchase and I got it as a trio. I will probably show it in my next haul video. 😉
i like your vedio.Thank you for sharing.
Can you make a video about euphorbias? I just got one and want to know they're characteristics
Good one.

Can the aloes take the cold weather 🤔
They start looking severely stressed below 40F. So I keep them in my garage or in a greenhouse in the winter.
