Thank you tony, i was just about to smoke my self into a coma but then i reallised that i can find meaning through cactus seedlings. now i have a wonderful familiy, a great job and lots of cactus all thanks to you.
Yeah no problem there Junior just make sure you sit in front of those lights a little longer each night to help with the seasonal affective disorder and what the shit
Ocean floor removal makes me go for the even harder stuff - just Don't do it - why would you want to do dat!?!
Combining the weed coma and the seed growing will report back
Please make more horticulture videos like this.
I second this! 🖐

I'm growing a bunch of saguaro seedlings which are about two years old and around 3 inches tall. Such a slow process but doesn't require much care once established.
I love growing stuff from seeds
It's very rewarding to see it grow and then bloom
That Quetzalcoatlus looks amazing. Always been one my favorite "dinosaurs". I'm glad you always point out cool geology in videos too ❤❤❤

I bought some dragonfruit… hope to get seeds and give it a try
I find this Nice,nice.
To: Joey the new age botanist.
Saying nice after sentences or random words or true statements is nothing but good common sense. nice
Joey, thank you for this video, I sincerely appreciate the jokes at the start about shitty family situations. Feeling very blue and grey, with a climate destabilized foggy rainy Christmas in the Midwest (50 damn degrees), and spending today alone.
I already planned to do plant stuff today to make the day my own and sew my weird Astro cultivars, and it feels comforting and serendipitous to have seen this posted. Ngl, I found some tears when you were shitting on family Christmas, which was surprising cause I didn’t know they were there.
Anyways, enough sappy shit, thanks man. Glad you are promoting ways people can connect with biology during a dreary and decrepit urban winter
Bringing plants inside fixed my winter gloominess
as an undergrad bio major interested in all things plants, I'm obsessed with your videos!
Hey at least your mess is in a garage. I grow all my plants in an unused bedroom and i get in trouble quite a bit when my garden supplies start migrating everywhere.
My tip for cacti is also to use either distilled or rainwater if you have a well for your water, the minerals build up in the soil and make it less porous so the water absorbs poorly and can cause some weird nutrient issues. For bigger cacti water heavily and infrequently so excess nutrients get cycled down through the soil especially if you tio dress with fertilizer and use a wide shallow pot instead of a tall deep one.
Nice to see that turtle from the Chicago river get immortalized in the garage gallery.
Great work!
You're a national treasure, thank you for being you
so stoked that you use the same potting soil as me haha it’s the little things. thanks for the lovely video during this terrible hellscape of the year!

Tony I have another way .. break open the fruit into a big cup and fill it halfway with water and then put the fruit into the cup and you open up.. add some Dawn or some other cheap dish soap, and let that soak in then be able to pour off the goo which will be broken up from the soap and you can pull the little skins out of there, rinse the water a few times nice and slow and you have just sweet seeds that you can plant in anyway you want like individually and threes or fives but you know we always try to keep it oddwith me kind of odd

Also dragonfruit can go crazy indoors since they are scrabblers in their native habitat so if you wanna grow them inside make sure you have space, and also plant them along with a sturdy pole to attach to and cut off side branches until it reaches the top and then allow branches to trail down from there, at least if you wanna try for fruit. Think of then like the cacti version of ivy (including growth rate, they grow FAST for a succulent)
I make chickenwire cylinders and stake them around the edges of the pot with my dragonfruit. That way they can lean and bend how they like and it keeps good air circulation.
I agree. I have a couple a grew from seed that are a couple years old and I cant get over how fast they grow. So weird to have a vining cactus that grows so fast, it literally climbs up the side of my tent, flops over and crawls on top of all my other plants in my indoor garden. Have to do my first real pruning on them to see if I can encourage them to flower. Getting into more varieties but dragon fruit was a good place to start since seeds are easy to get and the plants are really forgiving.
@@musicman9901 we ended up using our extra to give as treats to our iguana and parrots, they say it's delicious when we rubbed off the spines (also I hate dragon fruit spines, they stick in my skin and itch like crazy!). Amazing plant, I'm growing up in zone 4b so I'm hoping to have some more success indoors with a few plants fruiting, though mostly for the novelty of it.
I just saved some yellow Dragonfruit seeds from one I ate. 💛 I had no idea it was a cacti fruit 😅 I was about to research them.
@@iamjustkiwi wait, you feed them the branches themselves or you're talking about the fruit? Funny you should mention the spines; was just cleaning out and rearranging my plants in my indoor tent and had to move the dragon fruit. Got loaded with little tiny spines that break off if you touch them, they really are annoyingly itchy unlike san pedro cactus spines. Couldn't believe when I moved my plants that some of the branches must have been around 6 feet long, just hard to tell when they are left to climb everything. My zone isn't warm enough for them either so I keep mine inside but they are so huge at this point I think ill take some cuttings to put outside for the summer just for fun.
It was sunny today, that was nice.🌞
Started trying to grow cacti from seed a couple months ago, right now I have some astrophytum and turbinicarpus seedlings. They are growing very slowly but I have faith that they’ll eventually get bigger. Gonna start some more astrophytum seeds I ordered from madam cacti as well.
They are a badge of honor. I am highly decorated. GFY
This video cured my depression
Your humor helps make my day better everytime. I always save your videos to my Watch Later! Also pings are my favorite carnivores!
Been fighting seasonal affective disorder this winter by starting a big flat of yucca seedlings. Maybe I need to sit next to the lights some more though
Definitely recommend Mesa Gardens for seeds. You have to search by scientific name though. If you don’t know what you want to grow search cactus mix. Then you can have fun identifying them after they grow. You get a lot of seeds for a few bucks. Also they sell succulent mix. Lithops seeds as well. Have fun!
If I didn't live in a van, I'd totally be growing some cacti.
Aloe might the solution for your plant needs . also you can spread seeds from your car, comrade!
they love the dashboard greenhouse
We have a temperate variety of Opuntia fragilis in western Washington. Garden cactus isn't just for the southern states.
Also I grow O. columbiana .. Not a lot of variety, but we've got em.
soil sifting is a great winter passtime!! i just got done doing it setting up a planted aquarium, i actually have some WV cactus seeds on my desk, i cant wait to start that project!
Ocean floor removal makes me go for the even harder stuff - just Don't do it - why would you want to do dat!?!
It is nice to smoke to oblivion and stare at cacti as well
I catch light from the grow for a couple hours a night, and still smoke my self into a coma...uh ohh🤣🤣.
Seriously tho love what ya do man, watch every one.
You’re not kidding with the pothos! Mine are trying to take over the living room.
Starting some after Christmas. You gonna post updates?
is a puma just a cougar with an exotic accent?
Prospecting Sifters fit a 5 gallon bucket. They work nicely for garden work too.
You and botany have grown on this mycologists like a fungus... Thank you sir
Been spending the day taking cuttings from dormant elderberry and what the shit. Getting them all rooted out and ready to hit it hard in the spring. My "earthship" type house has plenty growing in it. Banana, fig, olive and lemon. Only cacti I have is prickly pear, aloe and dragon fruit. Thanks for the info and inspiration Toni. Much love from Montana.
I am 100% growing cactus from seed. With lights. Go, green dots, go! (I have some that are like six weeks old and a second batch that are like 20 days old.) MesaGarden's seeds did really well for me and they're inexpensive and ship fast. (Their website says they ship internationally, but I'm in the US) Two thumbs up!
You should have a million subs lol, I have what seems to be a hundred trays of cacti and aroid seeds growing in biblical amounts of lights. I use Sansi lights, give them try, they're ace. Keep up the good work!

Ocean forest works great for all my potted plants natives and exotics. I’m also partial to Aurora Organics mixes for any specimens.
Ocean floor removal makes me go for the even harder stuff - just Don't do it - why would you want to do dat!?! makes me homisiucidal!
I wonder how they got all those large cacti to the Chicago 1893 World Fair planted perfectly around all those massive temporary buildings
If you wet your potting media before you work with it you can stop the dust problem
Regarding damping off fungus. It is far better to prevent it than to try to treat after it has established its self in a tray of seedlings. Always treat the seed with fungus and drench the soil in the pot before planting. Add fungicide to the water that is used to water the seed directly after planting
I keep my pumice always slightly moist in the bug, just to avoid that nasty dust.
“Nice” I started putting together my indoor “germination station” earlier today. I’ll be looking forward to bringing some Heyderi to the Thornscrub Sanctuary
Sir you are absolutely halarious! Please never stop with all the little jokes you throw in, it really makes you stand out and has earned you a new subscriber:)
I have some Tillandsia seeds that I'm trying to sprout. I had two plants bloom at once, so I rubbed the flowers together without using lube and both plants made seed pods. I took the seeds from one of them. It seems that there is only one seed per pod. I'll get the seeds from the other plant later, since I have no idea how to tell when the seeds are ready. Since Tillandsia don't grow in soil, I took one of my pieces of bark and put the seeds in crevices in the bark. I'm using natural light and I spray them every day, as many times as I remember to. Wish me luck. I also think that making pizzas etc. is good for that Seasonal Affective Disorder, and I usually end up going into a sort of hibernation as well.
Well many tillandsias produce many seeds and the seeds have cotton like stuff so the wind can disperse them, it's weird that it's only one seed in the pod.
@@fenrirgg I expected a dozen or so little seeds, but I got big ones, bigger than a caraway seed. They do have cotton-like strands attached to them. I just have to see what happens.
Loads of alternatives to Ocean floor removal- just Don't do it - why would you want to do dat!?! get inventive, like this comrade!
Update: It seems that at least one of the seeds has sprouted because I have a leaf about an inch long growing. It took two months. You have to be very patient with airplants. I gave one to my doctor (with a little instruction sheet) and told him that if he takes care of it, it might bloom in 10 or 15 years. I think he thought I was kidding, but no. They are in no hurry at all, since they are essentially immortal.
Growing cactus from seed very cool. I notice often the fungus comes form the seed coat so now I wash the seeds in hydrogen peroxide 3% then rinse with water then plant .

I feel like if you were to say something like "he fell" or "you got two options my friend" and probably make just about anyone sh!t themselves because they belive theyve just poked the mob... i love your channel and videos. Your knowledge seems endless and incredible my friend. Today is christmas when im writing this comment so merry christmas dude!!!
i used the paper towel method and its so cool to see SO MANY little cactus pop out of the seeds on the sheet
another alternative to Ocean floor removal - just Don't do it - why would you want to do dat!?!
I really like 1 part horticultural sand or washed decomposed granite, 1 part Turface pro league, 1 part coco peat or sifted compost. It's dang good for most seedlings and if you throw in one part pumice it's not bad for the adult plants either. Landscaping Supply stores are the best place to get good cheap substrate.
there ARE alternatives! Ocean floor removal makes me go for the even harder stuff - just Don't do it - why would you want to do dat!?!
You sir have motivated me to learn about plants and take up horticulture as a hobby. Thank you!
J.L. Hudson ethnobotanical seeds often has several species of rare and unusual cacti for very reasonable prices. Cacti and many other offerings
I used an egg carton with a clear lid. Barrel cactus

Looking dapper
Happy Holidays!
Good lookin' out brother. Happy holidays.
Great video, thanks for the code, saved me 10 bucks. Have a great new year.
Goddamn, Tony your art work always blows me outta da fuckin' waters. I gotta get myself a copy of your Crime Pays But Art Doesn't book.
Happy holidays joey 🎉💚🌿💯
Merry Christmas, Tony! 🎄
Happy holidays you magnificent bhastid++
Happy SAD season to you and yours J. Thanks again for the curriculum.
Nice video, great to see so many cacti seedlings that will potentially be used for conservation.
Good advice sir, thank you!
Walio. Love you man. Waving hi from SF. Born n raised in da nw side. Out by EPI. Good to see ya Walio! - Rehab
Aurora Innovations I guess they call it now, anyway good stuff. Humboldt county resident, although had to move on from all the grass growin. The focus is native ecosystems these days. Cheers happy holidays brotha
Happy New Tony from Ireland 🇮🇪
Thank you, this was very helpful. I like the condor in the Andes photo.
I am happy for you that you go explore all these various locations on the Earth and hike around checking out all the amazing lifeforms.
Fantastic video. Thanks for the Lessons
I'm not planning on growing cactus soon, but I'm in the Detroit area, and I definitely appreciate the intro.
After a bit of practice, I have taught myself how to simultaneously grow plants from seed AND smoke weed. Seems like an okay way to go. The key is moderation. Big bong hits or smoking an entire joint of Flipper OG is not the way to go, in general.

Having houseplants in general has really helped me out with the winter blues this year. it started with a pothose I had to divide and repot for my husband's chameleon's enclosure, I ended up with enough to sell a few. Still have 4 including the one in the chameleon's lil home....
and then suddenly... and without warning...
I had 10 more houseplants...and I need to sort out the new propagations (pups) and vines from the pothose.

Merry Christmas
We finally get to see your face! Love your channel. I love growing citrus trees in pots here in gray depressing Rochester, NY. Got to do something to give you hope. Thanks for the info.
cool...thanks for another inspirational vid
dude watching your videos makes me a better person

Here I am thinking ‘what’s Tony up to right before Christmas?’ Cacti, ok, let’s check… instead I end up with a mental health session… actually what I really needed in this crazy season.
I keep a chilli plant in and and few aloe veras. Picked up the aloe working at the dump. It's given me two dozen clones now. Had an aphid infestation but last year I figure out I can put some of them federally introduced asian ladybugs on there and they will breed through winter. Cute little killers those larvae.
Asian lady bugs are a horrible choice. They've taken over my town. Use native bugs or nematodes. Nematodes work best, IMO
About the only time I wear a mask is when sifting amendments 😊
don't remove Ocean Floor for your private indoors plants!
@tripleaaakollektiv870 It's already in the bag, besides the desert was ocean floor and soon will be again, just saying, 😃 😊 😀 😄 😁
You are the best! ⚡️⚡️
Just the video I needed I just collected some opuntia humifusa seeds
Love the plant info and now free therapy.
Marketing genius.
Miss you on facebook.
Looking for Cholla Queens interview.
You found out the camera loves you
Thanks for the info dood, im off to grow cacti
yes thank you
It seems like it would make a lot more sense for someone who has never grown cacti before to pick a common species rather than a rare one. Not because common ones are easier to grow, necessarily, but they're cheaper and you don't need to feel bad if you screw it up. I have ordered from Mesa Garden a few times before (first time more than 20 years ago) and will say that they really do have a nice selection and I have no complaints about their service. I have also done dragon fruit seeds from the grocery store. Not recommended: Most Opuntioideae (often hard to germinate and grow into hard to handle plants), Blossfeldia (the moss will be bigger than the plants for years), commercial mixed cactus packets from the hardware store (lots of Opuntia, hard for a non-expert to identify plants), anything illegal in your jurisdiction (of course, perhaps you don't care about consequences).
Winter what winter man i miss getting snow early nov and would stay till jan till might melt or just get more. Last few years feels like northern cali. just not as hot in the day but did almost hit 55 and sunny other day, then back to high 20's then got few more 50 days coming 48 for xmas. any ways srry for the rant happy holidays to you and everyone, and thanks for the video.
don't remove Ocean Floor for your private indoors plants!
peace brother
You look about what I was expecting but better looking. I was thinking of facial scars and cauliflower ears you know..? Yeah you know what I'm talking about
Instead of a 500w background heater to keep frost out of house , i swapped heater for 2 250w growlights and grow all my winter herbs and salads for same cost! plus i don`t need lights on in the living room !
I do the weed comma thing. Western NY
Yeah I grow my lophs in 90/10% inorganic/organic mix, basically chicken grit, crushed lime rock, coarse sand and a little worm poop.
great therapy
I know I'm risking getting lectured by the organic crowd, and I'm not sure if Phytophthora and related Oomycete parasitic algae is a problem with Cactuses, but for those who have problems with them killing their started plants there is a new great spray consisting of Dimethomorph+Ametoctradin. Made by BASF, commercial names vary, it's called Orvego here. It does wonders, it stopped a full blown late blight infestation in my tomatoes, and works on Pythium that causes damping off of young seedlings as well. Best used preventively.
Don't be embarassed about a messy garage. A messy garage is where stuff gets done! 😁
2 things your channel name is great and your accent is one that makes Chris coumo jealous of your italianess.
Thanks man it helps
It was sunny yesterday for a few hours :D
There is also Summer Seasonal Affected disorder. I have one and my best friend has the other. Between the two of us, we have one stable person. ;)
For a mesh screen that fits a 5 gallon bucket check gold mining supplies. I have a nesting set of 4 screens. Scamason has them 👍
Thanks for the video. I hope you do a follow up once they germinate. I assume you if multiple germinate per pod you separate them?
Oh man i started some little yoties and figs from seed when it started to get cold. And then proceeded to start cherries and tamarind since they made me feel so good! Thank you for encouraging folks to be around nature even when its cold! Also do you use straight vermiculite for cactus seeds? ive seen good results for yoties but i havent had good luck this time
I'm from south texas myself, just started getting into the cacti hobby myself and plunging further, would love to know what i can do to help out in my free time
