    Undoubtedly, the absolute best, most informative succulent, cacti, and caudiciform UA-cam channel and indispensable source for deep knowledge on these plants. This is brought to you by a passionate expert host who lives and breathes what he speaks and deserves to be a household name in horticulture. Binge-watching Arid Zine videos is one of the best ways you could spend an evening.

    Especially with the old cacti, you often hear and see that they are taken from the wild on a large scale and sold to wholesalers via middlemen. Nothing is left and nothing grows back.
    I hope that the origin can be traced back from the seed to the very old plants (with recognized certificates).

    • @AridZine
      @AridZine  2 дні тому +4

      These older plants were definitely not habitat plants, you can tell by the nature of their growth. They were acquired from an older collector who passed their collection onto the owners of Cactus Vision. I’ve actually made a video about plant poaching - it’s a topic that fills me with rage - so it’s good to see others concerned about this too!

    What an amazing Nursery! I have never seen that species of Ficus Indica? Even in Santa Rosa California at the Luther Burbank Home and Gardens they do not have this specie. I think it’s looks like a Opuntia robusta without the spines🌵

    • @AridZine
      @AridZine  2 дні тому +1

      I don’t know much about it but I believe that the spineless ficus-indica was one of Burbank’s signature breeding successes. Either way, they’re very beautiful plants.

    • @AridZine

      And thanks for the Copiapoa ID. I’m trying to grow some from seed, but they’re so slow and look nothing like their final mature form so I’ve still got lots to learn.

    Ceiba Speciosa is SO cool! For the xanthorrhoea sp., do the new owners continue to subject them to bush fires artificially? Or does living in a suburban garden mean they're not likely to be subject to bush fires, and then their appearance near the top will change?
    My favorite one to see was the kalanchoe beharensis! So so pretty! I like plants with leaves that look like ruffles.
    I also loved the euphorbia polygona 'snowflake' and many others. Thank you so much for the identifications and the context like estimating how old some of the plants are. It definitely makes me feel like I am growing my cactus knowledge.
    You should go back to Cactus Vision more times to see if they have new things! Seriously so cool, thank you for sharing with us!!

    • @AridZine
      @AridZine  День тому

      Glad you enjoyed it! You know, I was going to say that the grass trees don’t get exposed to fire after they leave habitat… and then just today, I saw a Cactus Vision story on Instagram where they were applying a blow torch to one of them! That’s not something that would typically happen in a garden though.
      And I’ll definitely be back at some point!

    Awesome selection and great video! I have a mother Baronii 'budda belly' that has produced fertile seeds (they explode too!) and several friends now have one! The silk floss tree was beautiful in my San Diego garden, but a mess after blooming and the seed pods!
    Curious if you bought anything? I would have had a tough time just picking one or two!

      As far as I know, O. ficus-indica is the one exception to the rule; it’s grown quite widely as a fruit crop which is probably the reason behind it.

    • @wisconsinaquatics
      @wisconsinaquatics День тому +1

      @@AridZine you're correct but it seems like Bunnings is more focused on the plant hobby than home depot. Or atleast every time I hear them mentioned people are getting supplies for their indoor plants from them. Home Depot is more home improvement and building materials with a gardening section.

    • @AridZine
      @AridZine  43 хвилини тому

      Apart from a few raw materials - I buy some of my soil components there - I find the quality of almost everything plant related at Bunnings quite awful. I also like to support local nurseries and small growers where possible.
