Thats AMAZING haha
Hey friend! Around this time last year, your videos gave me the courage to start a “small” cactus collection starting with Lophophora, and Trichocereus. I’ve now got around 50 or so different cacti (not including seedlings!), and actually getting more every month. Thanks for all the videos, you inspire more than you know! Sending big hugs, I hope your well during these odd times.
I am so happy to read that my videos inspired you to grow cacti and wow at 50 already thats fantastic, Lophophoras and Trichocerues are amazing cacti to start with and so happy you love them and have 50 different types of cactus now :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a safe and sunny new week XXXXX

You getting anxious trying to say nipple might be the cutest thing i've ever seen😂
Agreeing with you on the soil. I repot all the cacti i get from garden centres and sellers i don't know. Sick of pots with 90% soil and old bark/coconut fibre.
Never gone wrong with a simple soil and perlite mix, it ain't perfect but it works in a pinch.
haha with the nipple :-D yes so many cacti in the shops are sold in awful soil mixes, Happy Christmas and Holidays to you
My local greenhouse has two I’m definitely thinking of getting a pair
Thats fantastic you are thinking of getting this cactus, it really is an incredible addition to a cactus collection haha, thanks so much for your wonderful comments and support and for watching, and wishing you a fantastic plant powered Wednesday XXXX

that is a cute Mrs,cactus ,
haha so true Chitra :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a fantastic Thursday XXXXX
I can confirm that I do the same with regards to soil mix. Too often plants are sold with too a high a degree of soil and bits of coconut fibres, which when repeatedly wettened and dried goes rock hard causing water run off and root suffocation. I don't buy from garden centres anymore for this reason:- I much prefer to bid on eBay for plants with a private seller or buy direct from a nursery where I can be sure the plant has been cared for prior. On another note, this is an attractive plant and one missing in my collection, due to its lack of spines it looks vulnerable to sunburn. Perhaps a cactus more suited to morning or late afternoon sun?.
Thats brilliant news that you do the same too with your soil mix
I just ordered a couple for me and my sister. I have been looking for a terracotta boobie planter to grow it in. Happy you made a video on it so I can care for it properly.Thank you!
Thats brilliant news that you and your Sister have these booby cacti ordered and its so much fun to grow them :-D yes I want a booby terracotta planter too haha, I have seen an amazing one that Summer Rayne Oakes has

Hi Lyn! I’ve received a booby cactus cutting for my birthday. It’s winter where I am at and since this cactus looks like it still needs to develop some roots, I’ve read that dry soil and warmth help with that. I have a little plant heat mat wrapped around the plastic pot it’s in and it’s in indirect bright light. What do you think? Thank you, lovely!
Hi there :-D thats wonderful news you have been given a Booby Cactus for your birthday, yes dry soil and warmth will help your cutting to send out roots, and a plant heat mat and indirect bright light is PERFECT for rooting your cutting, keep the soil dry until mid March, your cactus will still send out roots in dry soil, good luck with your cutting and thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful weekend XXXX
beauty cacti, insta plantic
XXXXXX
My cactus got sunburned at the top and one of the small boobies went completely squishy and brown/dead looking so I peeled it off. When I peeled it off, there was some white stuff left behind, is it just the dried juice do you think? And for watering, should I just mist the top or do a full soak? I literally just got this cactus and am so worried I’m killing it
Thanks for the care tips. I was wondering how much growth you get from this? It seems very tall. Also do you have a Lophocereus Schottii Minor/Totem Pole cactus too which looks a bit similar to this? I just got one as one of my first cacti plant :) and assume its care requirements would be similar to this one.
So happy you love the care video and this wacky cactus :-D yes this Booby cactus grows fast and can grow over a foot tall in a season depending on the climate and the size of the pot, I dont have a Lophocereus schotti Totem yet but its one that is on my wish list
@@desertplantsofavalon Wow a foot growth in a season is impressive! Hopefully my Totem one will grow as much this summer :) Thanks for your reply!
@@Hero87 XXXXX
i have one of these but mine is half the size of yours :) and mine came all the way from italy
Thats fantastic news you have a booby cactus too Barry :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a terrific Tuesday today XXXXX

So sorry to hear that, but thats great news you have bought another one, good luck with this wonderful cactus and Thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful comment and have a fantastic day XXXX
Do other types of M. geometrizans need to be kept warmer in winter? Do they need cooler temps or is warm living room ok all year round. Thanks.xx
Hi Georgina :-D yes all the other types of M.geometrizans need warmth in winter too and a warm living room all year round is perfect for them, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXX
That is beautiful, is it slow growing?
Thank you so much:-D it can grow fast when potted on regularly, and can grow 3-4 inches from Spring and Summer, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and have a fantastic Friday XXXX
To me it looks like a pine tree but squished inwards so the branches are those outward-sticking shapes 😭
So true haha :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a terrific Tuesday today XXXXX
I have a question. What are those spots at the bottom? I see those on almost all of this type of cactus. I have looked it up but can't really find out anything about it.
Hi Gloria :-D the spots are a type of corkiness that these cacti produce as they age or get knocked or damaged, they often produce these spots in high humidity too, they are harmless but Scale insects can look very similar in appearance and can be damaging, but they always have a darker spot in the middle of the spots but can be scraped off or melted off when dabbed with alcohol, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Interesting! Thanks so much for the info!
@@gloriajackson2021 XXXX
I've noticed mine feels quite soft, not firm. Is that normal? Thanks in advance for any advice. I should say it's 20cm, potted in pon (gravel), been left dry over winter and it's just watered been watered 2 or 3 times since Spring so I very much doubt it's been overwatered. I'm wondering if it's not enough water or if it's just normal.
Hi Sue :-D yes if there are no signs of dark colourations on the stem then its normal for these cacti to feel soft until they fully plump them selves back up again with their water reserves, but if you notice that your Cactus is still feeling soft after a couple of more watering it may be best to remove the cactus from its pot to check that there are no signs of hidden root mealy bugs or any problems with the soil and roots, Good luck with your Cactus and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and have a wonderful plant powered Tuesday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Thank you so much for your comment. That makes me feel a lot better about it. It looks good so I'm hoping it's fine. 😊
@@Tismesue XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon
It's firm again after that one watering. Just thought I'd let you know. Also for others that might see this. I saw advice from multiple sources on reddit, to cut the plant to propagate it (just to be safe). So glad I continued searching and found your video/comment. Thanks again. 🥰
@@Tismesue Thats brilliant news Sue :-D thanks so much for the update and for letting me know XXXX
💕💕💕👍👍🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
thanks so much David for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week ahead XXXX
What are those spots, mine has them too.
Hi Enrique :-D the spots are little scars that these cacti seem to be prone to getting, these little spots usually occur due to changes in their environment and as the cactus matures and are harmless, but do keep an eye out that they are not scale insect as it can look very similar, scale insect will scrape off with a fingernail but these corky spots won't, Scales can be treated with using rubbing isopropyl alcohol and a q tip to remove them, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Tuesday today XXXX
Where did you get this beauty? I'm in Dublin and I'd love one of these ladies 😁
Hi Elaine :-D so happy you are in Dublin, I have not been able to find this cactus for sale here in any of the shops in Ireland or here in the North either, but I got this one online from UhligKakteen.com, its a hard one to find for sale in the shops though, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Belfast to Dublin for a fantastic Thursday XXXXX
Awesome video,Keep it up! When is your next video? 😀 Keep it up! Would you like to be UA-cam friends?
thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a terrific Tuesday today XXXXX
mine has grown way too tall! its at 30in now 😅 what can I do about it?
WOW with the height, if you can wait until spring then you can chop off the top to a shorter height, the cactus will side shoot new growth from the base or the sides, you can also propagate the part you cut and pot up as a cutting, let the cutting dry over at the base ( calllus ) for about a month first before planting into a cactus soil and then treat as a cutting, keep the cutting soil mostly dry until it has formed roots, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
Did. you ever progagate this?
Hi :-D I have not propagated this cactus, thanks so much =for watching and have a wonderful day XXXX
Will this cactus offset if beheaded?
it will! i beheaded mine and now growing two in its areole ♡
That fantastic news :-D XXXXX
Hi Erin :-D yes they offset from the sides of the areoles, and will form into a candalabra effect over time :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a terrific Tuesday today XXXXX
we dont have in our country
Its a rare cactus to find but hopefully it will be more available worldwide in the future :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a terrific Tuesday today XXXXX
So sculptural. Good job keeping from collapsing in giggles while discussing it. Has yours grown more boobies since you’ve gotten it? 🌵🌵🌵👀
haha yes I know Michele :-D this booby cactus certainly raises a few smiles here haha :-D yes it has grown about 6 new 'boobies' last summer, and has grown about another 2 inches from last year :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a terrific Tuesday today XXXXX
ohhh lordy! I just keep seeing the oils of her fingers rub off the lil cactus epicuticular wax!! I can not take this madness.
LMFAO :-D :-D :-D
is natural to have softer lower part of mu booby cacti
Hi Mark, the lower part of the cactus should not feel soft if you lightly squeeze it, but sometimes this cactus can go slightly spongy to touch if its dehydrated and in need of water, they will firm back up again a few days after being watered, if the lower part of your cactus is very soft and brown looking its best to remove from its pot to check that there is no base rot to be on the safe side, thanks so much for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Sunday XXXX
So naughty
haha it really is a wacky looking cactus XXXX
I will say” booby cactus”. Lol
haha yes so happy you love the name too Cheryl :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a terrific Tuesday today XXXXX
