Hi Guys :-D In this video I show you How To Remove Cactus Pups ( Offsets ) & Planting up - Echinopsis.
Hi could you help me? I have a san pedro and noticed it's produced two new ones at the bottom without me doing anything. Can these be left to grow like that? Or should they always be cut off?
Thanks
@@Name-bn3vo Thats fantastic news you have two cactus pups growing from the base of your San Pedro cactus, yes I would leave them to grow like that as they look awesome when they have their pups growing from them, and it adds extra character to them, thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful comment and wishing you a fantastic plant powered Friday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Really appreciate your quick reply! Thank you so much and I hope you have a wonderful weekend xxx

Very useful video, Lyn. Yes, I’m one of those that cover my offsets to get them to root faster because our humidity here is always under 10%. When I leave them out, many shrivel up even before they root. Thank you Lyn for all the learnings. 🙂👍🏼
So happy you enjoyed the video Ana :-D and its amazing how the difference with our humidity with our climates, here in Ireland the humidity is so high even in Summer with 80% its crazy LOL! :-D I will be harvesting lots of cactus seed this week and will post seeds off to you very soon, I have sown the amazing seeds you sent me, and will make an update on them in the coming weeks, thanks so much Ana for your wonderful support and comment and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and CAFFEINE and PLANT POWER to Las Vegas for a wonderful weekend XXXX

Hi Lyn! Definitely very useful video on removing and planting up Echinopsis pups. Love that full pot of matured echinopsis..... like wow. I’m going to use your covering method as I’ve some pups I wanted to propogate that dried up. 👍👍
Thats wonderful you are going to propagate some pups with the covering method, it works so well as acting like a little greenhouse and helps to encourage faster rooting and to prevent them from drying out, here in Ireland the humidity is so high that we have a big chance of rot with cactus cuttings LOL! thanks so much Molly for all of your wonderful support and comments and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Belfast to Malaysia for a super Sunday ahead XXXX

Great video Lyn!!! Echinopsis are fun to propagate cause they are so easy!! There is rarely any chance for failure, and they grow so quickly!!! Believe it or not, my lophos were started from mature cut tops I bought from a guy I knew in high school. Of course I knew what he was going to do with them. At least I saved a couple of their lives and still have them today!! The parents of your little babies!!! But they were relatively easy to start. I just set them on top of some sand and misted them daily. And in a few weeks they put out roots! And lived happily ever after!! Of course I've never tried to take any pups off them since because I like them to put out as many as possible to make a nice showie cluster!!! Thanks for sharing this video Lyn!!! From Morris park in the Ozarks to across the Emerald Isle, have a great weekend!!!!! Peace,Love,Plants!!!✌💖🌵🌹🌴🌷🌿🌸🌻🍀🌺
Echinopsis are such fun and so easy to propagate and WOW thats fantastic your Lophs were started from Mature tops, and well done on saving them, and extra special that the babies we have from the seeds you gave us are from them too, they are cuties, thanks so much Clyde for your fantastic friendship and wonderful support and comments and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you and beautiful Deb and all the pets and plants all lots of love and happiness and PEACE, LOVE and PLANTS and good old PLANT POWER for a super Saturday XXXX

Great video Lyn. I do like the clumping look but there does come a point when it’s time to remove some. Not sure if it’s true that if you let them clump they are less likely to flower, as you say I’ve seen huge clumps with tons of flowers too. Maybe some types like the Matucana polzii it’s true because they form pups all over them rather than around the base, if an areole is occupied with a pup then that will prevent a flower bud from forming on that particular areole. Thank you for sharing with us as always Lyn, from Edith & myself to you and Hans, have a wonderful evening and weekend 😊❤️🌵☀️🌺🌼🏜
haha so true with coming to a point when the pups need to be removed, my old big Echinopsis is a real pup producer and I keep wanting it to flower as it would be an amazing sight to behold to see it covered in lots of blooms, but it just keeps pupping out haha :-D thanks so much Daz for your fantastic Friendship and wonderful support and comments and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you and beautiful Edith lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle to England and Singapore for a fantastic evening ahead XXXX

You're outro was simply hilarious! I love it!
As a new cacti-owner, I have two different types of cacti I brought back from Surprise, Arizona.. from my mother's garden. I am off to transplant them now! Any tips for cacti owners in Northern regions? I live in Michigan.. I am thinking I will need supplemental lighting, possibly heat through our winters. Can anyone in my same climate help me out with a few tips?
So happy you loved my outro haha, thats fantastic you have two different types of cacti from your Mothers garden, it depends on the type of cacti you have but a lot of cacti can be very cold hardy in winter if they can be kept dry and protected from rain in winter, I use grow lights on my indoor cacti with the ones that are not cold hardy and have to be overwintered indoors, but I move them out again in Spring once the weather warms up from late April early May, happy growing to you and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Michigan from the Emerald Isle XXXX

Thank you for this informative video, Lyn! Do you know if this is also possible with the pups of a Lophophora williamsii Caespitosa? Mine has many pups already and I really want to propagate it, but even after 5-6 years it hasn't flowered for me yet. So I'm thinking of separating some of the pups to create separate plants.
Hi Vyen :-D with Lophophora it can be very difficult to re root the pups especially with the caespitosa as it grows very tight with all the pups that rely on the deep tuber root, it is possible to root them but it is a very difficult process and not very successful, if I was you I would leave them on them the Loph, Lophophora caesoitosa takes much longer to flower than the Loph wiliamsii and the caespitosa can take 20 years or more to flower, my Caespitosa I have had for over 20 years but it has never flowered, but all my other Lophs flower even though many are much younger, but it will be fantastic when ours flower in the future
Hi Lyn please help! What is the mammillaria variety at the front to the right of the tiny white clump? The 1 with bluey green heads all similar size. I have it from a garden centre but no ID. Thanks for another informative video. I learn heaps from you xx
Hi Bev :-D so happy you have the same Mammillaria too, unfortunately I dont have the ID for mine either LOL! I got it a few years ago from another grower but I have never been able to ID it, if I find out I will let you know
Hi! I’m a new subscriber and am so excited to find your channel! I’m only recently learning about the proper care of succulents and cacti, but I had unknowingly cared for three different types of large succulents, which have survived only by the Grace of G-d and my horrible habit of forgetting to water them! I’ve since repotted them in a good succulent/cacti soil, have successfully propagated them and am proud to say that they are finally thriving and look beautiful.
I know this video is about cacti, and I did watch your older videos, specifically about Aloe Vera, but I wasn’t sure if you would see a comment on it, so I hope you don’t mind my asking here. I have a large Aloe (I think I’ve had it about ten years) that used to be a “double” plant. The one side was dying and so I cut it off thinking I’d sacrifice one for the good of the other. To my surprise, four babies grew from the stalk that I cut! I’ve since repotted them, and the original plant, which I lovingly call “Big Momma,” is huge. She has a very long stalk and is top heavy. I don’t want to lose her, which is why I’m asking for help. I’ve been watching a lot of videos on succulents, and I think I’ve learned that I can cut her off at the base of the stalk, which would result in the stalk propagating with new babies. If I took the information I’ve learned properly, I should then be able to place Big Momma on top of a dry pot of soil, which would result in her growing new roots, allowing me to repot her and not deal with balancing the long stalk which has caused her to be unstable, balance wise. Is this correct? I don’t want to do anything that would jeopardize her safety, but I’m also afraid of losing her if I leave her the way she is.
I live in Pennsylvania (East Coast of the USA), just outside of Philadelphia. We get very warm and humid summers, but our winters are extremely cold and we get snow, so I can’t plant her outside. I’d appreciate any advice/guidance you can give me. Thank you in advance and thank you for sharing your beautiful cacti, succulents and knowledge with us. 🙏🏻💜
Hi there :-D so happy you found my channel, and thank you so much for subscribing, thats fantastic news you have four babies grow from the side of your Aloe that was dying, and Big Momma sounds amazing, yes the good news is you can cut her off from the base, and then over time new Aloe babies will re grow from around the base, and the top part you can then plant up as a cutting and she will re grow new roots over time, when you cut her off I would leave her unpotted for about a week to allow the cut part to 'callus' over heal over before planting into dry succulent soil mix, you can also put some cinnamon powder over the cut to help to encourage rooting too. If you didn't want to cut her you can also insert a cane into the pot and loosely tie garden wire or thin garden rope around her and the cane to support her, I sometimes have to do this with some of my Aloes that grow top heavy, and I place a rock in the pot to balance out the weight as well as tie up the tall stems to a cane, I hope this helps, and thanks so much again for subscribing and for your wonderful comment, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Pennsylvania for a wonderful Sunday today XXXX
Desert Plants of Avalon Thank you so much!!! I appreciate your help and your kind words! I did try to support her, but the stalk is almost two feet long and twists (probably from being moved to different places on my windowsill and trying to turn towards the sun) and she’s a good three feet across so I couldn’t figure out how to attach her. I’m going to hold my breath and cut - thank you for letting me know about the cinnamon and not putting her in dirt right away! I’ll let you know when she sprouts roots! Thank you again! XXX

So happy you enjoyed the video Michelle :-D and good luck with propagating the pups :-D and thanks so much for your wonderful comments and for watching XXXX
Hey lyn, as winter is coming do you think that I would be able to keep my cactus in my small unheated plastic greenhouse in winter? With a little bit of bubblewrap protection and maybe the less hardy types moving indoors? Also as my climate is pretty mild for winter, do you think I could grow outside aloe vera provided I give it shelter from a bush of some sort? And cover it up for winter?
Hi there :-D I would definitely bring your plants inside the house for Winter, as the high humidity e get here in UK and Ireland is the biggest threat for our cacti and succulents, Aloe vera is very sensitive to low temperatures and high humidity, some cacti like the Echinopsis and Rebutia's can take very low winter temps without heating but the majority would need a minimum of 5C /41F with the UK climate, I would definitely bring them inside to be on the safe side :-D thanks so much for your wonderful support and comments and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a sunny Sunday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon So would I be able keep my peanut cactus inside the greenhouse? and what about echinopsis eyriesii? It would be nice to be able to put a cactus in the ground outside. I know we can do it with opuntias here but I have no idea what types haha
Awesome video! Thank you! I have quite a few pups on my ortegocactus, Im hesitant to remove them because I’ve never done it before. Could just use this same method as the video?
So happy you enjoyed the video Joseph :-D yes you can use the same method for removing your Ortegocactus pups, make sure that the pups have fully callused over after removing them for at least 2 weeks before potting up into cactus soil, 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 fantastic Friday today XXXX

What is the name of the taller cactus that has the 4 ribs in the video where you are talking about gloves, at about 2:40 into it?
Also, can you pot several small pups into a large pot?
Hi Dolores :-D its a Cereus repandus, yes you can pot several pups into a large pot, is best to choose a pot that is wider and not too deep, as having a pot that is too deep may encourage the pups to rot if there is too much soil in the deep pots, but a wider shallower pot is ideal for planting a few pups together, thanks so much Dolores for your wonderful comment and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a terrific Tuesday XXXX
I've discovered that you can also put your finger on the very top where the prickers are all pointing outward, just to hold it steady, & just pluck off the pups with a spoon, although you have to be careful not to use to much force, or you might launch the pup across the room.
Thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and have a fantastic day XXXX

So i just sent you a email with pictures of my recently purchased echinopsis oxygona as well as a few questions im not sure if it just needs a wider pot or if i need to propagate it just seems to be focusing on growing taller instead of wider
Hi Barry :-D thanks so much for your email and looking at the photos i think its best to repot your Echinopsis into a wider pot, you can wait until the spring but if you wanted to repot into a wider pot now you still can, use dry cactus soil and don't water until the Spring, I think your Echinopsis is growing taller instead of wider as it is searching for more light, these cacti love a very sunny position, a south facing window is ideal or you can use an led plant grow light if you have this Echinopsis in a window that doesn't receive any sun, don't water now until the spring otherwise these cacti can still grow taller and stretch out in winter if they are not given a dry winter rest period, happy growing Barry and have a fantastic plant powered Thursday today XXXXX
Can I leave the pups on the mama plant or will they harm the mama if left? Will the pups survive and continue growing if not removed? Would you recommend a rooting hormone?
Hi Mickey :-D the good news is you can definitely leave the pups on the Mama plant and no harm will come to the Mother, the pups will continue to grow and make a wonderful clumps of pups all on the Mama plant, you can use a rooting hormone or cinnamon powder too, but these cuties root well without any rooting powder :-D thanks so much Mickey for your wonderful support and comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX

What about the blue torch cactus? I have this balloon cactus and have repotted the pups. . They're easy to propagate!
Hi there, with columnar cacti like the Blue Torch cactus you can propagate them from cuttings, the top part that is cut will re root as a separate plant and the part that is left will re shoot new growth ( pups ) from around the top and the base, the new growth that grows ( pups ) that grow from the top of the cut cactus can also be removed and planted up separately when they are big enough, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and have a fantastic plant powered weekend XXXX
Hi Lyn! Should I do the same with my opuntia microdasys?
Yes you can remove the pads from Opuntia and re root them as cuttings too, they root easy from pad cuttings, let the pad cuttings 'callus' over for a few days before planting up as cuttings, thanks so much for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER and have a fantastic Sunday today XXXX

Thank you for pearls of wisdom wrapped in home spun philosophy 😁. I was wondering about this as one of my large cacti have arms sprouting but I wont be removing these (are these arms classed as pups or are pups a separate cacti growing from the base?). Thanks again 👍⭐🌵
PS. I like your Prince symbol tattoo 👍
So happy you like my Prince tattoo haha :-D yes Cacti arms can be removed like the pups and treated as cuttings, and they root very well too, you can cut them off and let them dry 'callus' over for a week or two until the base forms a hard white crust and then pot up as cuttings, they are different to the pups that grow from and around the base, but the arms can still be propagated too, thanks so much Tony for your wonderful support and comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful weekend XXXX

I just watched this and wanted to thank you for all the information. Two years ago when my mum passed I brought home a large 'globule' (don't know if that's the correct term) which had apparently been knocked off her very large and old echinopsis hybrid some months previously. I put in a pot of cactus compost and waited....and waited! Eventually it rooted and many months after that I was thrilled to see a pup emerging, the another. Now it has 12 pups and just recently two flower buds have appeared. I am keeping my fingers crossed to see the beautiful flowers - which were the reason I brought home the globule in the first place, as mum's was in flower the day we were there to help clear her home. I feel mum would be glad I am keeping it going, along with the half-dead Thanksgiving cactus that also came home with me...that has flowered three times since!
Hi Karen :-D thats so wonderful that you have flower buds and 12 pups on the globule that you got from your late Mothers cactus, and so extra special that it was from your Mothers plant, it really is so wonderful to see these cacti come into bud and always so very extra special when they are from plants from our loved ones that have passed, and thats so wonderful your mothers Thanksgiving cactus has flowered three times too, I always see it as a lovely sign from our loved ones when they bloom, thanks so much Karen for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful weekend XXXX
How did they end up with so many pups? Were they just grown for a long time?
Hi there
Why does my cactus pups always rot! And turn purple when they do rot
So...this echinopsis has been in the same pot for how many years?? How manybyrs can one cactus live in a pot??
Hi Michelle :-D these cacti can live in the same pot for about 10 years as long as they are given plenty of fertiliser over the growing season, but its always good to re fresh the soil at least once every 5 years, I repotted this big Echinopsis about 4 years ago but it will need another repot again soon as its grown so much, 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 wonderful Friday XXXX
Noooooo I was so sad to hear it's difficult to root lophophora pups! I just ordered a caespitosa, the kind that put out lots of pups, hoping to make it the mother of a generation of cuttings
Thats wonderful you have ordered a Loph caespitosa, I love them and all of the wonderful pups they produce, you can still root Lophophora pups but it is not always successful and much harder to get them to root than many other of the cacti varieties, good luck with your wonderful new cactus, thanks so much for watching and Happy New Year XXXX
How often do we water when its hot is it weekly?
Hi Elvin :-D yes its best to water every time the soil has completely dried out in their pots, if its very hot weather its best to water of an evening time, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and have a fantastic plant powered Tuesday XXXX
Does removing the pups from cacti in general help the mother plant grow better?
Hi there, the good news is leaving the pups on does not make any difference to the growth of the Mother plant, but although removing the pups does not effect the growth of the Mother plant, removing the pups can sometimes encourage the Mother plant to put more of its energy into growing more pups instead of producing flowers, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX
My tall cactus has just got a bunch of pups/things that look like fingers growing from the top. It also has tiny fringes of flowers encircling it part of the way down. I have no idea what is going on with it.
Thats awesome as it sounds like you may have one of the Cereus varieties that has the tubular shaped flowers like Cleistocactus, they produce finger like tubular shaped flowers and at the end of the tubular shape there are tiny petals, these cacti produce these wacky and wonderful finger like flowers due to being pollinated by small hummingbirds, check out Cleistocactus cacti online and this may be what you have :-D thanks so much for watching, and wishing you a fantastic plant powered Friday today XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Thanks for your reply. Yes it does resemble the Cleistocactus, I've had it a number of years and not flowered before. There are 12 tubular white flowers all in a bunch at the top of one of the branches? I'm in Australia, no hummingbirds here to pollinate it but very hot conditions in summer. Thanks again!
@@streaming5332 Thats fantastic news you are able to ID your Cactus XXXXX
That is a huge Echinopsis. You must have 40+pups, have you ever removed them all? I have some like that too and am considering that option. Tons and tons of pup power! Thanks!
So happy you love the big old Echinopsis :-D yes I have removed some of them but kept most of them on, its a fantastic way to propagate with the pups :-D Happy New Year to you James and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, Sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for an incredible 2022 ahead XXXX
Where can I put my cactus
Full direct sun
Or indirect full sun
Hi there, it depends on the type of cactus you have but many of the Desert cacti love direct full sun, but the Epiphytic cacti like the Epiphyllums and Rhipsalis and Christmas cacti prefer indirect sun, the barrel shaped cacti like the Echinopsis in this video love full direct sun but can also take indirect full sun too, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
Does echinopsis calochlora give flowers?
Hi there :-D yes Echinopsis calochlora gives flowers usually from early Spring to early Fall, thanks so much for watching and have a fantastic weekend XXXX
Thank you so much

I've removed pups. Now they're growing more tubular like and not round like a ball... But they grow fast!!!
Thats fantastic your Cactus pups are growing well, sometimes they can grow a bit tubular instead of round when they are quite young, but as long as they are getting plenty of direct sunshine and not growing etiolated ( stretched out ) they should go rounder as they get more mature, thanks so much Michelle for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday today XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon so.. question..how many years can a cactus live in a pot before repotting? I recently bought a balloon cactus and it want it to develop pups and get fuller.
@@michellechapman6839 Hi Michelle :-D A cactus can live many years without needing to be repotted, I usually repot the majority of mine every 2-5 years depending on the size of them and if the roots are coming through the pot, but I have quite a lot of my larger cacti that I haven't repotted for about 10 years or more and they are still doing great, as long as you fertilise them during their growing season, they can go many years without needing to be repotted, my Balloon cactus I haven't repotted for about 8 years and it still pups more pups every year, but I always fertilise it once every 3rd watering I give them from Spring until the late Summer, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Sunday today XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon ok..I have my cacti in 5-6in pots... Not repotting for awhile.... I'll keep you posted
@@michellechapman6839 XXXX
Would you please to send these cacti? please..
Here these are very rear...
Hi There, unfortunately I dont sell any cacti but you could try uhligkakteen.com and kakteenhaage.com online, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful day XXXX
Fertilizer the with a BLOOMING FERTILIZER and it will BLOOM AGAIN
Ive seen two or three videos now of people not using gloves just grabbing the pups barehanded
Thankfully these Echinopsis are not the worst to handle with their short spines, but some of the very spiny cacti especially the ones with the hooked spines would be awful to remove the pups with bare hands haha, thanks so much Barry for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a terrific Thursday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon I believe I have one of the ones with hooked spines I'm not sure though I emailed pictures of the plant your email
@@barryszymanski8022 Awwww thanks so much for letting me know about the email Barry, I will be catching up with my emails this afternoon XXXX
Miss Talk-a-Lot, lots and lots, loads and loads, tons and tons.
