Great info as always. As you say, it’s about getting to know your plants individually and learning their needs just by how they look and taking your climate, the potting medium etc, into consideration also. Awesome video and probably the best I’ve seen on cacti watering 👍 Your collection is stunning also 👌
Thank you, I am glad you found the information useful. I can't teach plant intuition which is what I rely on heavily but try to focus on the practical components and hope that in time people will develop their own level of intuition and connection with their plants. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
Impressive cacti collections. Thank you for this video. Been captivated by the sheer beauty of cacti, especially the rounded shapes, since I was very young. But only recently I just begun collecting. 👍👍💐🤗🥰
Allways nice to see your collection! I also water when i have the feeling the plants need it. Its hard to put in words but as a collector you just get to know when to water by experience, just like you say some take more some less.
Great tutorial. I'm always worried if i should leave or water my Astrophytums. After watching this i wont worry too much about weekly watering from now on i'll happily go two weeks. Also i've recently bought two Gymnocalyciums, species unknown sadly but at least now i know there not rot prone as most websites would have you believe, i'll start a weekly routine of watering them depending on weather obviously.
I see you have a great cacti growing medium and you know your soil😆👌💖I have had rot issues. Our summer monsoon season a few years ago rotted my Astrophytums. They don't do well here. In Japan we have very dry and sunny winters with a great difference between day and night temperatures. The summer is wet, humid and extremely hot. From August we get a drier hot summer and winters are very dry with temperatures below -5℃ at night and day temperatures about 10/12℃.
I think the best Astrophytum have come from Japan! Do you have big climate variances within the country? I live in the south of Australia which is very cold in winter & scorching hot & dry in summer but in the north it is relatively warm all year round with high humidity.
I now have nearly 100 cactus and succulents now I am going into my first winter I have bubble wrap my hot house and are going to set up a heater on frosty night just to keep the temperature up too around 5 degrees so I hope that will be sufficient.
I come from Japan and summers have high humidity and many rainy days. I water with a 'spritz' every 3 weeks or so because the air has a lot of moisture in the air. In Autumn through winter the days are sunny, the nights freezing and low humidity. I water every 2nd to 3rd week. For those in dry, low humidity summer areas then water well when dry, even ever week is fine, And if winters are wet and rainy then only 'spritz water' on days that are sunny and the humidity is lower than 40%. Never let a cacti get that dry that the roots desiccate. That can happen in low humidity and dry cold or hot conditions. A cacti will have a battle coming back from that and if it does grow new roots, it will take a year of recovery. To water a cacti with desiccated roots can make fungi and rot from the decomposition of the dead roots.
That is a very good point. My cacti go through a wintering process which means no water for sometimes 4 months. Care needs to be taken when commencing watering so the new roots have time to form and dead roots heal over.
Great collection, love all your Gymno’s and Astro’s quite impressive. Nice informative video on watering by looks and not just watering for watering. Just awaiting my watering season here in AZ a couple weeks or so out before their 1st drinks after winter. Would love to see something on seedling waterings after out of the bag as well if your ever looking for content 😉
That is an awesome idea! I honestly had not even considered that as a topic, thank you! It is so exciting when the growing season is approaching ... Wishing you all the very best for the season ahead... Happy Gardening!
Great videos! I subbed with notifications! One thing I noticed though is you said bi-weekly is twice per week for you. Some people may be confused as generally bi-weekly means every other week, once per 2 weeks. So your bi-weekly watering would be 4 times in a 2 week period, where as someone watching would normally take bi-weekly as meaning once per two weeks. That could be a significant difference in watering frequency. Awesome collection by the way! I'm up to about 30 different varieties in my collection currently.
Hey, thanks for the heads up! It can be challenging articulating information that will be consistent across the globe as I have viewers from all over the world, I did not even consider that bi-weekly would be considered anything else other than twice per week. Nice work with your collection! Hope to see a video or some photos one day... Happy Gardening!
87walker Greetings from the northeast of USA. I honestly didn't know that it actually can be either or here too. So we're all getting an English lesson. What happens if you can't squeeze them? Mine is 7" tall with. 5" thorns. Sorry you turned the camera around liked seeing you just as much as I like seeing the cacti! Thank you for all your help!
I have questions about spineless golden barrel. It's been removed from a mother plant. I have put rooting powder but not growing roots. It's been more than 2 weeks.
Hello I have a hedgehog I bought. Mamalaria. I bought I from a private person. My question is can they be plump on the bottom and when growing have a cone shaped top til it matures? Thank you
The cone shape, is likely the plant stretching due to insufficient light. You are welcome to share a picture to my FB page, will make it easier to work out what's going on. Happy Gardening!
Its January... I bought a notocactus with flower buds ( 4days ago at a local store)... so my question is when do I repot it, after it blooms? And should I water it... its very dry.
Woop woop! I don't actually use top dressing, just very rocky mixes and naturally over time the large pieces come to the top. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
So glad I found your video! I just got my very first cactus, a Gymnocalycium Stenopleurum (I found that out only by quite a bit of research). Met him at the garden center thanks to his glorious little pink flower! As a complete newbie this video was the most helpful I've found out of the tons I've watched lately!! Could I ask you some quick questions?! How much sunlight (direct or indirect) do Gymnocalycium's really love? Right now I've got him by a Southwest facing window that gets nice direct morning sun and then indirect afternoon light, and I like to open the window often. Will he be happy in these conditions? And how often can I expect him to flower with the proper care? His flower died off not long after I had him home and I was afraid it was my fault, but I didn't know how long it would have lasted anyway. Do the flowers typically only last a few days in full bloom? Will I have to wait until next season or is there a chance he may yet sprout another this summer?
Hey Walker! Great video! Since it’s winter time now in Australia, could you tell me what you do with the winter period? I have a astrophytum asterias and it’s looking a bit sad right now. Should I water him or is that usually how astrophytum asterias are during winter? Where they shrink a bit. I also have 2 gymnocalycium and I’ve been told to strictly not water them at all during the entire winter! Could you please tell me if that’s safe to do so? Cheers
Hey! My plants go through a wintering process (no water at all) for a period of 8-16 weeks depending on how rot prone they are. Gymnocalycium fall into the 8 week (weather dependant) category and Astrophytum are at the higher end 10 weeks plus. It is safe to withhold watering for most cacti for this amount of time. Some experience root loss and often don't recover, Melocactus is a prime example, they require more specialised management. Hope that helps and Happy Gardening!
Hi I notice you have crystals with some of the cactus. Do you have a reason, why some have them and some don’t? Or are you just spreading them all over randomly . Thank you
Hello, Yes my cactus stay in greenhouse all year. During the summer I water in stages so that humidity does not become too high. Cactus will generally handle humidity quite well but do not handle being cold and wet (damp conditions) Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
Hi 87 walker; really enjoy your informative videos. Also the collection containing some of my favs. A question: how do you treat cacti with a split? I have several Trichos with that issue. Also, being a musician i cannot "squeeze" my plants to test for water due to thorns. I use a meter but you suggest visual exam as well. I`ll give that a try. I have 117 music vids on You Tube, the most recent being "Bob Dylan & Joe Seddon-Hurricane Carter." Next comes some cactus videos. Australia is fantastic, the wildlife awesome. I`ve bred Womas and Jungle pythons which are quite rare here in the United States. I`ll check back for your advice on splitting. Best to you mate, Joe Seddon
Depends on how cold your winter gets. A friend of mine in Virginia does not water a single drop for up to 6 months! Winter where I am is not so harsh and as such there is only 2-3 months where I do not water at all. There are exceptions to this and plants that do not tolerate extended dry periods for various reasons. Happy Gardening!
Can you use all purpose soil for cacti ? I purchased a big purple bag from B&Q and it was near the Cacti plants so I’m guessing that it’s ok? But I watered my cacti plants about 5days ago and the soil is slightly damp is this a worry for root rotting or will it be ok ?
I use general potting mix for my cacti that is mixed with other ingredients like gravel & perlite. I do not buy and do not reccomend "cacti & succulent potting mix" Your substrate mix should dry out at a rate this is appropriate for your climate. Humid areas require a mix that dries faster than areas with a dry climate. It really comes down to trial and error and what works best in your climate. Good luck & Happy Gardening!
Hey, I use an 80/20 or 90/10 mix in favour of gravel (the smaller portion being organic material like potting soil or coco coir) I have a soil mix video on my channel which you might find helpful. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
Hi, this is my first time watching your video. Loving your collection! I only have the one cactus and I'm trying to understand it. I haven't yet been able to figure out what kind it is. Could you please tell me the species/variety of your Parodia (with red thorns) at the back? It seems to look very similar to mine. I have googled different species of Parodia but none looked as close to mine in appearance as the one in this video. Thanks!
Hello, The label is lost for that plant so I am unsure the type. You could try www.llifle.com/ it is one of the main websites I use for cactus and succulents identification. Happy Gardening!
Thank you so much! This particular lot I bought through a wholesale business that is not open to the public BUT! I do have a lead for you! Jump on to FB and look up "Dirt Bags" they do sell out from time to time but will be your best bet for sourcing pumice. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
Hey beautiful collection! Thanks for the tips. I'm also an aspiring cacti collector in Aus. Would you sell any lophophora seedlings/cuttings at all. Ive found it hard to find. Was going to try to graft a few. Cheers!
Hey, thank you for your comment. I do not sell any plants or seeds, I would recommend checking out ebay. Look for a seller called "The Cacti Guys" they usually have Lophophora for sale, provided you are not in a quarantine state. Happy Gardening!
Watering will have an effect on growth rates but it has it's limits. Above all else you should be watering in amounts and frequencies that are suitable to that particular cactus. Happy Gardening!
some of my cacti, still look full of water and they had no water since mid September and we just getting to the watering time of the year in a few weeks
That can happen, the more resilient cacti can hold water for months and months. I always aim to reduce the water content of cacti prior to the really cold weather kicking in but this doesn't always happen. Best of luck for your season & Happy Gardening!
@@87walker last year i went away for last month of watering season, so cacti needed a drink when i got back, as we still had a warm spell i gave them one last good water, other years i do stop watering 2-3 weeks before any risk of frost, mid to end sept but even then it seems still to late, and they will not get water till April/may depending on weather as an un heated conservatory, this year only been watering a month. cacti seem healthy, i guess it the odd ones what i might need to stop a tad earlier:) but i have moved those ones now to the most sunlight possible so that might help
Your earlier watering regime helped most of my plants make it through the winter without dying. Thank you very much. I still lost a 3 parodias though. They all shriveled and died.... and this affects parodias for the most part..Can you help me with this issue? Has this happened to any of your plants?
I would have to say that yes I have noticed a difference. My cacti seem to be more vibrant (growth & flowers) there is now a lot of crystals mixed into my collection. I also like the way it looks. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!
This was very informative. I have a few astrophytum that have "pancaked" (flattened out). I live in the U.S. and we are about to enter spring. I feel like I need to water them but am afraid of the rotting issue. A few have shrunk at the base. Is this a sign of underwatering or overwatering? I would like to avoid pulling them out to check the roots if possible. They still firm though. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.
Really amazed when a guy has passion for plants like cacti.I am really a cacti lover and collector as well💗
Thank you iam a cacti and succulents enthusiast and I love love your collection. Astrophytums and gymnocalyciums are my favorite ❤
Thank you for your video!! I love that you also place crystal's in your pots!!
You have some awesome cactus, and we are happy to look at your mug ☺️😉
Very informative! And I just love looking at your collection and how they are all neatly lined up.
Thank-you! I do like to have them in nice rows and only in square pots as they are easier to keep neat. Thanks for watching & Happy Gardening!

do cacti grow faster the more often you water them, like say watering once a month vs only watering 3 times a year
