Your collection is absolutely one of the most sound and healthy collections I have ever seen, in real life or on you tube... Joe, you are a cactus legend in my book! right next to me and a few other cactus caretakers!!! Thank you for sharing, brother!

@@cactusjoe I have successfully crossed T.Triglochadiatus with T.Grandiflorus! None of my family besides my son and I are into cactus, but we had to share the good news with anyone who may care to know... There is a new cactus in New Mexico, USA. If it looks interesting, I would be happy to share the seeds... If it looks just like another Grandiflorus, perhaps I will just keep it to myself. I am making a video on it, but will not post it until the seeds have been sown!!!
Wow, well done and congratulations to both of you on this interesting cross and thanks for sharing. Keeping my fingers crossed for a new beauty! I am looking forward to what you will be posting on your new Tricho hybrid. Very best cactus greetings to you both in New Mexico, USA, happy growing my friends!👍☺️🙏🌺🌼🌸🌵🌵💚😎☀️🏜

Hi Joe😌🙌I enjoyed looking through your collection and seeing all the beautiful cacti🥰Your Turbinicarpus have amazing flowers😌👏And I like your top dressing for the cacti, it's awesome🙏💖
Hi Newman, thanks for watching and for all your wonderful feedback, very happy that you enjoyed the little Turbinicarpus blooms!

Sending you lot's of cactus greetings over to Japan, have a great week and happy growing of course! 🙏😊🌵🪴🌵🌼🌺🌸💚😎☀️

Lovely video, Joe 😊 Your collection is looking awesome. Still chilly here at night, almost down to freezing the previous two nights so I'm still holding off on putting mine back out in the greenhouse. Thank you for sharing with us my friend. Have a wonderful evening and weekend from Edith & myself and happy growing as always 🌵☀️🌺🌸🌼🏜
Many thanks Daz, much appreciated! Indeed, it has turned very frosty again this end too, two nights in a row now -2C, brrr! I'm glad I have not moved any plants outside yet. Amazing temperature swings,🌵 given we had almost +30C here just a week ago, haha!! So the cacti in the greenhouse are all just on hold again wirh buds and flowers! Wishing you warmer and sunnier cactus weather than I currently have, very best regards for an awesome week to you and Edith, and happy growing my friends! 🙏👍😊🌵🪴🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
A very good morning back to you all too, dearest Family Elen Júnio! It is a great pleasure to receive your wonderful message, thank you all so much for watching and commenting! My very best and warm cactus greetings to you in Brazil!!🙏🙏🙏👍😊🌵🪴🌵🌿🌼🌸🌺💚😎☀️
Thank you for this Spring tour through your greenhouse, it was a treat to watch! 👍🏻 You really have so many beautiful species in your collection, one prettier than the other 😄😉 The blooming Turbinicarpi are a real eye-catcher. Recently, I struggled with fungus gnats (first had to google the english word for Trauermücken😆) on my Spathiphyllum. Probably, they were already in the soil I repotted the plant in. I bought these sticky yellow cards now - I suppose you know what I mean - and hope that they will disappear soon 😅 Because apart from these annoying little flies, the plant is really thriving and developing flower after flower. Apart from that, I once again had to make the experience that cacti from the Baumarkt (OBI) are no good. Recently, I purchased a little Astrophytum ornatum there. But soon after repotting, the stem started to become brownish at the base. And also the roots didn't develop in any way even after weeks, so I eventually sadly had to throw it away 🫤 Up to this time, I already spray-watered the cacti two times but now have to wait with the next watering because of this cold and dark weather. Have a great weekend and Happy Growing! :)
Hey Jacob! Thanks for all your interesting updates, I really hope that you can get rid of your Trauermücken pests 😉😅 again very quickly! The good news is that they can indeed be caught and removed quite easily with the yellow sticky cards (Gelbtafeln). Yeah, with the cacti from OBI and most other supermarket nurseries, I know exactly how you feel...I only very rarely buy any cacti there...and only if it is 100% healthy looking and can be repotted immediately! Thanks so much for watching and I'm really happy that you enjoyed all the plants in my greenhouse collection. Have a great rest of the week...from tomorrow onwards, the weather is finally getting sunnier and warmer again, yay! Happy growing!!🙏👍😊🌵🪴🌵🌿🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️
Oh WOWSERS Joe what a MAGNIFICENT Cactus and Succulent Spring Collection update Tour, and WOW with your Turbinicarpus blooms, you really have an INCREDIBLE STUNNING HUGE collection, thanks so much for sharing the awesome spring update Tour with us and YAY HAPPY SPRING haha, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Hans and me to Bavaria for a wonderful upcoming weekend XXXXX
Thank you so much Lyn, it's fantastic to read that you enjoyed the springtime tour through my little cactus greenhouse collection! Thanks so much for watching and for all your awesome comments! Yikes, here in Bavaria we suddenly had three nights in a row of -2C ...after we had allready reached daytime highs of almost 30C just a week ago! What a rollercoaster of temps we are getting this year! I hope the cactus weather gods are treating you much better over on the beautiful Emerald Isle!! Warm cactus greetings to you and Hans for a terrific Tuesday evening and week ahead!! 🙏🙏👍😊🌵🪴🌵🌿🌼🌸🌺💚😎☀️
@@cactusjoe The weather has been crazy here too, and just 2c last night, thankfully the temps look like they are going to be going up this weekend, but this April has been so up and down, lets hope we get the heat coming our way again very soon haha XXXX 😎🌻☀🌞☀🌅🥰❤🌵🌵🌵
Many thanks Nick, really happy about your feedback and wishing you lot's and lot's of flowering cacti and other plants in your collection this growing season too! Enjoy your weekend and happy growing of course!!👍😉🪴🌵🪴🌿🌺🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️

Thank you for your very kind feedback, truly appreciated! So glad you like my collection and i am keeping my fingers crossed for you that your own collection continues to grow with all the plants that you are wishing for! I am sure it will! Sending you warm cactus greetings and very best wishes over to you in beautiful Croatia!🙏👍🙏😊🪴🌵🪴🌿🌵🌺🌸🌼💚😎☀️
Excellent video joe your greenhouse is an amazing sight to see and I think the bats have the best spot in the house chilling with your very impressive Tephrocactus collection 👌🌵💚
Hey Scotty, many thanks indeed, love your comments and just awesome feedback! And those pet bats of mine 🦇🦇🦇 have indeed picked the best spot, as you correctly point out, haha, they just love hanging around the wicked Tephrocactus gang, lol!!😁😉👍🦇🦇🦇🌵🌵🌵🌼🌸🌺💚😎☀️

Have a great week ahead and happy growing!!🙏👍😉🌵🌵🪴🌿🌼🌺🌸💚😎☀️🏜
Hi Dave, thanks so much for watching and so happy that you enjoyed the greenhouse tour! Haha, unfortunately only lot's of plan(t)s but realistically no garden space for expansions...except for upwards or downwards...so, an upper floor or basement to the cactus glasshouse, those would be real novelties, lol!😂👍😉🌵🌵🪴🌵🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
Thanks Bill, glad you liked them!🌵🪴🌵 Haha, yes indeed, I do!🤓 ...so I can see all my cacti even better now, haha!!😅 As always, many thanks for watching and commenting, and enjoy your weekend my friend, happy growing!!👍🙏😊🌵🌵🪴🪴🌿🌿🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
Hahaha, thanks Michelle for watching, and hope that my little sculptured greenhouse pets and helpers aren't scaring you too much!! No worries, they sleep all day... while I'm in the greenhouse at least!!🦇🦇🦇😉😊👍🌵🌵🪴🌼🌺🌸💚😎☀️
Hi Joe! Your cacti are looking spectacular, especially the Ferocactus! I got to see a hint of your Bavarian neighborhood out of your greenhouse window. What is the Ferocactus with the splotchy colored spines at 2:40 in the video?
Hey Terry! Many thanks for once again watching and also for your awesome comments and feedback. So happy that you were enjoying the collection, especially also my little Ferocactus collection...they are one of my all time favourite genus of cacti! The one you are asking about is a F. macrodiscus ...this species in my view is one of the most beautiful Ferocactus and it also already blooms at relatively young age. Mine is about 15 years old and blooms every year now!! Thanks again and happy growing!!🙏🙏👍😊🌵🌵🪴🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
Hi there! Many thanks for your truly wonderful feedback and comments! Really awesome that you are enjoying the videos on my channel, very much appreciated!! The substrate I use is a 80-90% mineral one, meaning i add only about 10-20% organic (non-mineral) components, i.e. compost soil. The (mineral) majority is a mix of pumice, lava and quarz sand, zeolite and small baked clay granules. I show the substrate and also detailed recipe in a few of my earlier videos, e.g. "Why I repot/pot during the Winter" in my Cacti 101 playlist. Hope this helps! 🙏🙏👍😊🌵🪴🌿🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
Hi Christina, indeed not a short, but high time to get a full video out once again, haha! Very happy you enjoyed the plants, including my little Ariocarpus collection! 🙏👍😉🌵🪴🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
Hi Joe you certainly have a full cactus house! Out of interest, what are the dimensions of the space? Thanks and happy growing. Cheers from the other side of the globe
Hi Tony! Yep, you are right, it is a pretty full house, but as you know, rule #1 for every cactus & succulent fan: there will always be room for just one more, hahaha!😅👍💚🪴🌵my greenhouse is unfortunately pretty small, but I try to use every square cm of it, and in all dimensions, lol!! Thanks for watching, have an awesome weekend ahead, happy growing and cactus greetings back to you too!!👍🙏😊🌵🪴🌿🌵🪴🌼🌸🌺🌼💚😎☀️
Enjoyed this as always! There was a smaller cactus with at least 2” spines, name? Love the long spines…and I have a bat here in apt, but it’s a skeleton, the real ones out back come out in the summer about 830 pm, love watching them swoop catching mosquitoes etc. Be well 🌵🦇
Yep, indeed it is back to cool, rainy weather now here too, but last weekend in Bavaria we suddenly went to hot summer temperatures within a few hours (...and back, haha). Not long to go, and we may be wishing back the cool weather, as we head into what is predicted to become an extremely hot and dry summer once again in Central Europe...cactus weather lol!!!😁👍🌵🌵🌵🌺🌸🪴🌼💚😎☀️☀️
Hi joe...what type of cactus is that spiral one?? Im looking for something unique and can you give me a recommendation for a good nursery to order cacti? Thanks!!
Your collection is absolutely one of the most sound and healthy collections I have ever seen, in real life or on you tube... Joe, you are a cactus legend in my book! right next to me and a few other cactus caretakers!!! Thank you for sharing, brother!

Hi Dave, thanks so much for watching and so happy that you enjoyed the greenhouse tour! Haha, unfortunately only lot's of plan(t)s but realistically no garden space for expansions...except for upwards or downwards...so, an upper floor or basement to the cactus glasshouse, those would be real novelties, lol!😂👍😉🌵🌵🪴🌵🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
Beauties ! Thanks for sharing. Do you also have new glasses?
Thanks Bill, glad you liked them!🌵🪴🌵 Haha, yes indeed, I do!🤓 ...so I can see all my cacti even better now, haha!!😅 As always, many thanks for watching and commenting, and enjoy your weekend my friend, happy growing!!👍🙏😊🌵🌵🪴🪴🌿🌿🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
The hanging bats just make me jump!!!! 😂😂
Hahaha, thanks Michelle for watching, and hope that my little sculptured greenhouse pets and helpers aren't scaring you too much!! No worries, they sleep all day... while I'm in the greenhouse at least!!🦇🦇🦇😉😊👍🌵🌵🪴🌼🌺🌸💚😎☀️
Hi Joe! Your cacti are looking spectacular, especially the Ferocactus! I got to see a hint of your Bavarian neighborhood out of your greenhouse window. What is the Ferocactus with the splotchy colored spines at 2:40 in the video?
Hey Terry! Many thanks for once again watching and also for your awesome comments and feedback. So happy that you were enjoying the collection, especially also my little Ferocactus collection...they are one of my all time favourite genus of cacti! The one you are asking about is a F. macrodiscus ...this species in my view is one of the most beautiful Ferocactus and it also already blooms at relatively young age. Mine is about 15 years old and blooms every year now!! Thanks again and happy growing!!🙏🙏👍😊🌵🌵🪴🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
Hi Joe! Amazing collection 🌵🥰 May I ask what you use as a soil mix for your pots?
Hi there! Many thanks for your truly wonderful feedback and comments! Really awesome that you are enjoying the videos on my channel, very much appreciated!! The substrate I use is a 80-90% mineral one, meaning i add only about 10-20% organic (non-mineral) components, i.e. compost soil. The (mineral) majority is a mix of pumice, lava and quarz sand, zeolite and small baked clay granules. I show the substrate and also detailed recipe in a few of my earlier videos, e.g. "Why I repot/pot during the Winter" in my Cacti 101 playlist. Hope this helps! 🙏🙏👍😊🌵🪴🌿🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
its not a short💃so pretty, did i spot ariocarpus godzilla, , or was it wishful thinking?🌸
Hi Christina, indeed not a short, but high time to get a full video out once again, haha! Very happy you enjoyed the plants, including my little Ariocarpus collection! 🙏👍😉🌵🪴🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
Hi Joe you certainly have a full cactus house! Out of interest, what are the dimensions of the space? Thanks and happy growing. Cheers from the other side of the globe
Hi Tony! Yep, you are right, it is a pretty full house, but as you know, rule #1 for every cactus & succulent fan: there will always be room for just one more, hahaha!😅👍💚🪴🌵my greenhouse is unfortunately pretty small, but I try to use every square cm of it, and in all dimensions, lol!! Thanks for watching, have an awesome weekend ahead, happy growing and cactus greetings back to you too!!👍🙏😊🌵🪴🌿🌵🪴🌼🌸🌺🌼💚😎☀️
Thanks Joe
Enjoyed this as always! There was a smaller cactus with at least 2” spines, name? Love the long spines…and I have a bat here in apt, but it’s a skeleton, the real ones out back come out in the summer about 830 pm, love watching them swoop catching mosquitoes etc. Be well 🌵🦇
Joe perhaps a video on those columnar cacti?
June 2024.. i just bought a spikey type.. idk what it is...i think its a gymnocali io type
Thanks for the update, Michelle! Lot's of success and fun with your new, spikey addition to your collection! 🌵🪴🌵🙏☺️🙌
It’s hardly springtime here in Belgium. It’s barely above freezing in the mornings and constantly gloomy and rainy.
The same goes for Germany 😅 It rather feels like November than Spring time...
The same in the Netherlands. Lots of rain and wind. But the days are getting longer and plants react on that.❣️
Yep, indeed it is back to cool, rainy weather now here too, but last weekend in Bavaria we suddenly went to hot summer temperatures within a few hours (...and back, haha). Not long to go, and we may be wishing back the cool weather, as we head into what is predicted to become an extremely hot and dry summer once again in Central Europe...cactus weather lol!!!😁👍🌵🌵🌵🌺🌸🪴🌼💚😎☀️☀️
Hi joe...what type of cactus is that spiral one?? Im looking for something unique and can you give me a recommendation for a good nursery to order cacti? Thanks!!
I am not absolutely sure but I think you are referring to "Cereus forbesii f. spiralis"
Its a Euchilya....something!!!
Ah, now I think I know which one you mean: Is it "Eulychnia castanea cv. varispiralis"?
