Stunning Mammillaria collection, Jenny. The larger ones are awesome looking specimens. Love some of the pots you have them in, the one you made is very nice and suits that plant well. Thank you for sharing with us, have a wonderful day and happy growing 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
Thank you so much, Daz! I wish my little pot were a little larger and a little deeper! Since Mammillaria seem to grow out of tiny cracks in habitat, I'm planning to leave that one in there as long as it doesn't show signs of struggle due to space. Let's see what happens! I love the larger specimens as well except that they can be a challenge to repot!
I love the little shade cloth hat at 15:16. I've spent so much energy trying to design bigger containers covered in shade cloth that I never even thought of just putting a little "hat" over some of my cactus.
I'm glad you like it, Joshua! I'm surprised the Mammillaria is doing okay in it given how small the pot is. I guess this just shows that they're okay with being root bound.
She makes such lovely pottery! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video! It's one of my early videos too, back when I had no video editing software, no idea how I managed to make a video in one take!
This video! This is the one to make me subscribe. I'm in Tempe so I'll be using your channel for reference 😂. My Mammillaria Hahniana, Frida, unfortunately burned a bit couple weeks ago. I have all my cacti under shade but she was in the sun for an hour in a certain sunpath at 11:30 for a couple days. And earlier in the spring we had thrips so she had some neem oil on still. But now shes got some sun burns, but we're just gonna tell everyone she's variegated 🤣🤣😭
Thank you so much, Christoph! I'm glad you appreciate this video focused only on Mammillaria. It's finally starting to cool down here in Arizona, I'm looking forward to putting some more in the ground!
that mammillaria @ 12:52 is soooo beautiful... I am guessing, M. Heyderi! One of my favorite cactus. I have not been able to find one, but I absolutely love this specimen! Wow! Thank you for showing us! I will be showcasing some cacti on my channel in the next few months... just dressing everything up!
I love that Mammillaria too! Sometimes I feel like I'm cheating by buying plants that are already that size. I subscribed to your channel! I'm looking forward to seeing your collection. Will you be showcasing them in your own pottery? That would be so cool!
@@cookiescacti This is the only reason we have been learning to make pottery. To put cactus in them! I thank you deeply! If you ever see anything that catches your eye, just let us know and we will box it up and ship it to you! Sharing is the main goal my son and I have. Buying a plant is saving a plant! I buy the most beat up cactus at wal-mart, then make them shine!!!
@@cookiescacti If you ever get any seeds off of that mamm. I would love to trade or buy some seeds off of you! I am very serious! But not dramatically serious. Calm, patient serious!
I'd be happy to send you some seeds if I can get some fruits off this mamm this season! I see some flower buds starting to form, so we have a good chance!
@@cookiescacti You are my new favorite person right now! I'll trade you for some M.Wrightii seeds or T.Triglochadiatus, or both. I am excited! We will DM you on IG. our address! Thank you! 🥰
Thank you, James! Pots are expensive for sure but I finally know why after trying to make a couple - it's not easy! And it takes a lot of time esp when it comes to figuring out glazing - lots of trial and error needed. This might be the end of my ceramics road for now but you never know!
Very nice mammillaria. I really like your pot you made. I just purchased a new mammillaria Camptotricha, I love it, as it is covered in course yellow wiry spines like a door mat. So much so you can't see the cactus underneath. You can touch it without any injury.
Ohhh I love the M. comptotricha! I think I have some of the bird's nest type growing from seed, a very fun and beautiful plant to grow. You're so right, they are touchable! Thank you for the compliment on my pot. After going through the pottery class I really appreciate all those pottery artists' work. It's not easy!
@@cookiescacti I bet it isn't. I have not done proper pottery making. I made my candy skull pot with some left over tile cement and smoothed it with car body filler. Not really a true clay pot. Some of the pots you see are very nice to compliment the plant. Often on UA-cam channels I see a lot of hand made pots. Have a look at Fotosynthelys and Cactus Quest
The same happened to one of my plants . Attacked by peacocks . Fifty percent of the plant was destroyed . It came back with a vengeance . If you see it now , it's ten times what it was . I heard cacti love abuse . This one definitely did .
Thank you so much for the wonderful comment! I am trying my best but we're entering a challenging time in the summer where the nights are staying hot many nights in a row. I hope these plants are able to survive!
Hi Jenny! I can believe I missed this video! I looove mammillarias too! So many species to collect 🙌🏼. I saw in the video the one that you had covered in shade cloth…looks like a gymnocalycium to me don’t know the exact species but it would make sense it being sensitive to direct sun. Has having the shade cloth helped? Thanks again for sharing your collection with us! 🤩
LOL! This video was made back before I had editing software, everything had to be done in one take. I have no idea how I managed! Mammillaria will always hold a special place in my heart. I still have no idea on the ID of the plant under the shade cloth... could it be a Gymno? It has tubercles which makes it very confusing. The shade cloth has helped. I have since moved it closer to the pergola where it gets less sun and it seems to be happier now. Thank you for watching and commenting, Tatiana!
Hello! Yuors M. schwartzii is M. lasiacantha, because its spines are yellow and central spines very long. The M. schwartzii has dense white hairlike radial spines and short white to redbrown central spines.
hello my friend thank your que lindo amor os cactos tenho um cantinho da Família Elen Júnio lindos cactos gratidão um abraço da Família Elen Júnio👍🏻🌵💚🇧🇷
Love your Mammillaria collection! I'd have to say Mammillarias are probably the first cacti that really got me into cacti. I think my first Mammillaria was a Mammillaria hahniana. This was more than 10 years ago when I knew nothing about plants. I found one at Lowe's today, but really regret not taking it home with me! I think I've seen some that are not as fuzzy and some that are VERY fuzzy, kind of like how you said each individual cacti within the same species has its own unique characteristics, so you have to get more than one. We have a cactus and succulent sale tomorrow, so maybe I'll find some nice specimens to take home with me.. 😁 I hope I don't spend too much!
Mammillaria will remain a favorite FOREVER! I completely agree with you and the fact that every single plant is special in its own way. What kind of cactus and succulent sale did you have? Did you get anything?? 😁
@@cookiescacti There was one by Kessler's Cacti and Things. It's a local cactus specialty nursery. They're not open to the public, but they mostly have sales once in a while. I got two Astrophytums! A variegated Astrophytum asterias and an Astrophytum myriostigma. And then I had to get one of those variegated Gymnocalycium mihanovichiis 😬 They're going to have another sale at one of those botanical garden fall sales next week. I'm planning to go there too 😅
@@joonahrae someday I'm going to travel the states to visit shows, sales, and nurseries specialized in cactus around the country. It's so cool to learn about a cactus business in Florida! Sounds like you got some amazing new plants. I'm jealous 😁
@@cookiescacti oh man, I don’t think Florida has as many good cacti as Arizona. 😆 I’ve been wanting to visit Arizona to get some cacti I see in your videos 👀
sooo many Mamms. where do i even start? oh yeah, i have a few packs of seeds started already. just ordered some Mammillaria armillata seed also. i really need to drive down to Bach's nursery and search through their old Mamms to add to my moms tho.
Mammillaria are the best! Still and always a favorite. Yes, you must take a trip to Bach's and check out the oldies. I've grown some from seed and find most to be quite slow growing, so you find the same?
yeah, and i'm okay with slow growth but i need a couple of each type to be of flowering age so i can produce my own seed and create some hybrids so i'm going to be doing a bit of grafting to see if i can speed up the growth of some soon. but also, i will always buy more large plants when i can afford to! i've seen what happens to them if they get left at the box stores. it's sad. somebody has to take them home. at least at Bach's they get better with age so they can wait there for me. lol
What is that very tall green cacti in the foreground at 8:30 ? And is it standing up by itself or does it have a support behind it? I'd love to have one of those.
Good eye, Daniel! That was labeled a Euphorbia 'Sunrise' when I bought it from Home Depot. Google results says it is "thought to be a hybrid of Euphorbia pseudocactus and Euphorbia bougheyii". It is standing up by itself although I have the shelf right behind it to help it out when it gets super windy. It grows quite quickly!
Jenny 👍👍. Beautiful collection! This year I’ve started mine, and I’m in process of wiring up lights on racks for added space and seed starting here in MA. Do yours stay outside year round?
Thank you, Bart! I kept my mature Mammillaria and Astrophytum outside under the pergola all year last year and they did great. I'm planning to do the same for the rest of my mature plants this winter. As for my seedlings, I'm debating on what to do this winter. This will be the first winter for my seedlings that are outside in my shadehouse. I only have a plastic unheated greenhouse but that may be my only choice for the seedlings as I have no more grow space left indoors - all my indoor space is taken by my Copiapoa seedlings. What kind of plants are you growing from seed? How long have you been growing?
@@cookiescacti I’ve never (yet) grown from seed, but have collected a wide assortment of cactus seeds (think i bought seeds from a Cactus Quest recommendation), and my criteria was that they be smaller varieties (my opuntia and cereus days are behind me). I’m planning on keeping baby plants inside for a couple years. In MA the summers offer good tree shade and nice temps on my deck, but humidity is high and I haven’t yet built a rain guard. I’m excited to finally plant the seeds, but will keep them under Barrina LEDs until potted I can better protect them outside from rain, sun, and insects.
@@bartlipetri6895 I totally understand wanting smaller, slower growing cactus varieties. Because of... space! I barely buy any more new plants as the ones I already have are growing larger and I have a ton of seedlings... omg. Happy growing, Bart!
@@Misslou2425 I have not noticed fragrance from the Mammillaria flowers I've experienced so far. But I don't know if that's true of the entire genus. Discocactus flowers have the most beautiful scent so far imo, they bloom at night.
Tee Dee on Etsy. I look on etsy a lot. Let me know the correct spelling please? Would like to purchase some cacti from that seller :) nice collection btw.
Thank you so much! Here's the link to their Etsy shop: www.etsy.com/shop/teedeecacti And here's the link to their Ebay shop: www.ebay.com/str/teedeecactiandgoldprospecting They tend to release plants in large batches and then they take pauses in between releases.

Thank you so much for the comment! I have rotted out some succulents during the hottest parts of the summer last year. I'm not sure if it was due to root loss but they were definitely in a "don't water me I'm sleeping" phase but I was so new to the plant game that I didn't know... But even today it's so hard to tell!
I just remembered that I have experienced root loss before! It was on a Ferocactus that was planted in-ground. I have no idea what happened but the root loss happened during the cooler season.

Hello Cecilia! My substrate is a mix of 75% pumice and 25% cactus soil. I live in a very dry climate, and find the plants seem to do better with some organic material in their substrate.
I got this from Wikipedia: "Most of the mammillaria are native to Mexico, but some come from the southwest United States, the Caribbean, Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala and Honduras." Learned something new myself!

Why thank you, Tim! The pot is awfully shallow but the Mamm is still alive and growing in there. I guess their roots really don't need much!
Pretty bad ass selection definitely dig that focus on one type of collection
