Cactus Seedling Grow Tent Update & Potting Up |
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- The time has come to finally sort out the plants in the grow tent. I've had a couple of bad outbreaks of spider mite that have unfortunately damaged some plants to the point where they cant be saved. We'll be potting most of the plants up into some new pots and substrate, as well as dealing with the pesky mites. Enjoy! :)

Thank you, Hassan 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌺🏜
Great update Daz, I was looking forward to seeing these trays repotted :)
Thank you so much 😊 Still some trays left to do but I’ll hopefully get those done very soon. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜
Wow that's a lot of seedlings to pot up!!! It's going to look like a small cactus nursery once you get them all potted!!! Yeah, I had quite a run with the spidermites this summer!!! My lophos got them, the frailia you sent and quite a few others. I finally sprayed them all with systemic insecticide. Seems to have worked pretty good except on scale & opuntias. I think the skin must be a bit thick for it to absorb well. May just water them with it. Our weather is freezing up on us. This morning was 28°F. Our first killing frost. Tonight in the mid 20s. Wednesday it will drop down to 19 that morning!! We're in it already!! Thanks for sharing Daz!!! Hope you beat those little beasties!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, to the UK 🇬🇧 and Singapore 🇸🇬 have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!! ✌️💖🌵🌸🌹🌴🌷🪴🌿💐🌳🍀🌱🌻🌾😃👍
Thank you so much, Clyde 😊 Sorry you’ve had issues with mites as well, they’ve been a real pain this year for quite a few people it seems. The alcohol and soap mixture is working well for me, though. Temperatures here aren’t too bad but we got quite a major wind storm approaching in the next few days, just hoping my greenhouse will be okay. Thank you for watching and commenting my friend. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself to you and Deb 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
Wonderful to see that the alcohol and horticultural soap does the trick😊👍I also had mites do their damage to some cacti. I notice that they leave most Gymnocalycium and Echinopsis alone. They must have a hard epidermis. I enjoyed watching and great progress with the cacti😊🤲💞
Thank you so much, Newman 😊 It was mostly Gymnocalycium they fed on in the grow tent for me, and the Frailea. The alcohol and soap is working well, though. Thank you for watching and commenting. Have a wonderful day and week from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌸🌼🌺🏜
I truly admire your hard work and perseverance, Sweetheart! 😍 These beasties seriously need to be nuked! 😆Very good roots considering. Looking forward to how these seedlings will grow in your new mix. Thank you for sharing this update with us and enjoyed watching with you, as always. ❤️🤗🥰😘💚
Thank you so much my love 🥰 Yeah mite are a real pain. Amazing how something so small can be so destructive. So far they’re doing well in this mix, and so far no more major mite issues. Enjoyed watching with you as always too, babe. Thank you for all your love, support and encouragement ❤️🌸🤗😘🌺❤️

Thanks for this video. Your images made me realize my Gymno. bruchii had looked bad because of spider mites. Did see one red mite with my 10X lens. Luckily my other cactus don't show evidence of mites. Best wishes for the growth of your seedlings.
Hope you manage to get rid of them. They can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌺🌸🏜
WOW AWESOME video potting up your seedling beauties, but so sorry you lost some to spider mites, argh Spider mites are the pain of my life, and I have lost quite a few cactus seedlings this year due to spider mites too, but thankfully they have left the obesa x symmeticas alone and they are growing really amazing, your seedlings are all gorgeous and you have an amazing collection of them, thats fantastic with the rubbing alcohol and hort soap together, thanks so much for sharing the awesome update and potting up with us Daz, and Hans and I are sending you and beautiful Edith lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to England and Singapore for a brilliant new week XXXX
Thank you so much, Lyn 😊 Yeah the mites have been a pain this year, especially on the seedlings. Maybe I should just have a grow tent full of obesas lol. Thank you for watching and commenting as always, Lyn. Have a wonderful day and week from Edith & myself to you and Hans 🌵☀️🌸🌼🌺🏜❤️
@@Cactimania XXXX 😃🌵🏜❤🌻😎
Ugh! Those spider mites strikes again. So sorry Daz. Still the ones you saved look good. But wait… where’s the Mother of Thousands inside your tent? 😁
Thank you so much, Ana 😊 The mother of thousands did die after flowering, but there’s another pot full of plants in there and in the greenhouse 😁 Thanks for watching and commenting as always, Ana. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌸🌺🌼🏜☕️
You should try spinosad spray (the mix without the soap). it works really well vs mites.
I’ll look into that, cheers. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌺🌼🏜
Amazing work with your Cactus and amazing video too like always! 👏👍🌺
Thank you so much 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌺🌸🏜
Looking good all repotted, and what a big job to repot them all.
The Lophophora are looking lovely sizes and they outgrew the mite damage quickly. You have very beautiful cactus raised from seed so despite the casualties they are doing amazingly well.
The price of potting substrates has definitely got expensive and I've also been mixing up a different mix of mediums in meantime to use, I still have a huge sack of molar clay which I'm using again as pumice is pricey.
Whatever does the job 😀
Look forward to your updates on the young cactus. 🕷Happy Halloween 🎃🎇
Thank you so much, Claire 😊 Yeah I wanted to do an order of substrates from Kaizen and my jaw nearly hit the floor when I went to checkout, so I didn’t bother 😅 Grit and coco coir is so much cheaper and goes much further and so far everything is doing well in this mix. Thank you for watching and commenting as always, Claire. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌺🌸🌼🏜
you king of the plant

Thank you, Ibrahim 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting 🏜☀️🌸🌺🌼🏜
@@Cactimania you welcome
Beautiful!!!
Thank you 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
Those cacti are so cute. Glad you could get rid of the mites
Thank you so much 😊 Hopefully I’ve got rid of them all, but have to keep up with the spraying as a preventative otherwise they will come back. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌸🌼🌺🏜
Lovely video! So sorry you had spider mites on your seedlings! They are cute little cactus seedlings and nicely repotted! Great job to repot all those! Thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful afternoon Daz and Edith!
Thank you so much, Sylvia 😊 Yeah spider mites are a real pain, especially on young plants. Doesn’t take them long to damage them. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and commenting as always. Have a lovely afternoon and evening from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
Sorry to hear about the awful spider mites. The roots looking good. That was a job to repot all of them😅
Thank you so much, Magda 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting as always. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
You've got the start of a cactus graveyard there Daz 😨 Hope you get them sorted. Some brilliant roots on those 😎I'm fighting mealy bugs here 😨 Hope you and Edith have a lovely evening my friend 😊😊🌵🌵
Thank you so much, Ziggy 😊 Yeah luckily the whole tent didn’t turn into a cactus graveyard! Urgh mealies are worse than mites I think, especially root mealies. Hope you manage to get them under control. Thank you for watching and commenting my friend. Have a lovely evening from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
I usually have a problem with thrips, but this year it was the spider mites' turn to feast on my seedlings. I'll have to try the alcohol and horticultural spray mixture. Your surviving seedlings look great!
Yeah mites have been a pain for quite a few people this year. This alcohol and soap mixture is working well, the only mites I’ve seen since spraying regularly are dead ones. Thank you for watching and commenting, Justin. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌺🌸🌼🏜
I've been battling thrips for a few years now and I dust them with diatomaceous earth that I leave there for a few months. My plants look dusty but it keeps the thrips away.
Great video, Daz! That's a wonderful collection of seedlings that you have coming there in your grow tent! Sorry about the spider mite damages, but as you say, quite a lot of the seedlings will be just fine. It is always amazing to see how quickly strong plants (and most of yours seem very well rooted and strong!) will actually recover from these nasty spider mite damages...it ususally looks far worse than it is and the scars are all quickly grown over after a few months! Thanks for sharing, my friend, and very best regards to you and Edith, enjoy the rest of your Sunday! 🌵🌵🌵👍💚😊🌸🏵🌺🌼🌵
Thank you so much, Joe 😊 Yeah they’ll eventually grown out of the damage. Some I did have to discard though, and some of the Frailea were too far gone. I need to monitor the plants in the grow tent more closely because it is an ideal environment for those little beasties. Thank you for watching and commenting as always my friend. Have a wonderful afternoon and evening from Edith & myself and happy growing 👍🏻🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
Awesome as always my friend 🎉🎉
Thank you so much, Ken 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌺🌸🏜
I now have over 120 pots of seedlings in my tent, if it all goes well i will be in big trouble in a year or two :D about 1 and 2 months in, without any major issues! When do you repot the faster growing seedlings ? i was gona wate a year, but some of these pots are allready crowded, specially the astrophytum myriostigma. Best regards mate :)
I usually wait about a year before transplanting them, although if they're crowded now then you're fine to do it. Crowded seedlings can get stunted. Thank you for watching and commenting. Have a lovely evening and weekend from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜
i was wondering if you use xtractor fan for fresh air and temp control in summer? Making an new growsetup, and yours look to be working great! Best regards :)
I just leave the vents of the grow tent open. If it gets very hot in the summer I'll leave the door open as well and have both fans I have in there on full power. Thank you for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌺🏜
@@Cactimania i will try this secret jardin temperature controlled xtractor, it sounds promising. You are my inspiration for grow tent cacti, i wanna thank you a lot my friend 🙌 I love the idea of a littel inside sommer garden, for the long cold Danish winter ^^
Beautiful seedlings how do you keep the humidity out of your grow tent my humidity stays around fifty percent in mine and I use two fans in mine the one that came with the tent and a nother one
Thank you, Gary. I have all the vents open on the grow tent. I think what keeps it down in mine the most is the oscillating floor fan. It’s also dependent on the weather as well. Like here recently it’s been very wet so the humidity in the tent now is around 45%. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌺🌸🌼🏜
50 to 60% is perfectly fine for cactus fyi. mine is basically like that all winter and most summer nights it hits 80+ % airflow is all that matters. (winter i never let my cacti go dormant.)
How do you treat fuzzy/hairy or cacti with really dense spines?
Just give them a good spray up close with isopropyl alcohol until it gets through and makes contact with the body of the cactus. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌺🏜
Did you get rit of the spider mites with that solution or are they still hanging around? Best regards :)
There's a few still lurking about but I do spray the more susceptible ones regularly. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌺🌼🏜
@@Cactimania Did you ever try with neem oil? I have a hard time putting oils on my plant, but some peep seem to love it.. I bought one bottel, but it looked so nasty i threw it away :p
@zhaezz84 Yrah I have some but not used it as some cacti really don't like having that sprayed on them. Some Euphorbia especially don't like it, it can damage the epidermis 🌵☀️🌼🌺🏜
@@Cactimania i have had succes with a product from germany called "spinn milben frei" from "kanemite sc" it last for a long time, and helped me in the past.
Is Edith Asian ? Could you translate your opening greeting ? Thanks !
Yes she’s originally from the Philippines. The greeting roughly translates to ‘Welcome. How are you?”. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
