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).
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!
Wow fantastic and amazing I live in the desert and have so many cactus and succulents (tropical plants indoors) These cacti were amazing and beautiful Subscribed (:
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🌵
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.
Good for you right now... youre going into growth season. Im in the States in the northern hemisphere, so my plants are all in their dormancies for winter.
I was expecting the owner to look eccentric and dress in a whacky cactus and succulent themed outfit. Instead they look pretty normal. If I owned such a collection, you can bet that I'll look crazy. Lol
I love love your UA-cam channel. I love here in Idaho in the United States. We have a high desert climate. Very hot summers but cold Winters. Can you do a episode on cacti and succulents that can take cold weather?
Wow what a cool place 🌵😳🌱 Did you ask Erin about that Ceropegia, I wonder what it is? Those Copiapoa’s looked as very nice specimens of hasseltonia 🌵🌵 Thanks for sharing, wish we had nurseries like this one in Denmark 🇩🇰 instead I order stuff from all over the globe 🌏
I think in the end we decided it was a Ceropegia stapeliformis. Very cool plant! 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!!
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!
My crazy thought is to have windowsils full of lithops 🤪🥴🤤 Its interesting how cactus people are different. We love different forms of cactus. Some loves those strange formed, some no. I aleays search those bluisch grey or pink cactuses and succulents. Thank You for enother great video! 😊😊
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!
I ended up buying a very cool hand made pot - they had heaps of plants but I barely have space for the things I’ve already got. A pot will serve me well though!
@@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.
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.

High praise! I truly appreciate it. Cheers!
@@AridZineYou more than deserve it!
Wow, what an amazing place! Love living vicariously through your cacti adventures as I'm a bit limited in rainy northern England!
Appreciate it! Still feels very niche down here but I’m doing my best to explore it as much as I can!
I love your videos man! I’m starting to have a collection of cactus and succulents. You’re like Steve Irwin but plants
A humbling comparison! Appreciate it. Hit me up if you ever have any questions about your growing collection.

Thanks for your time to share.
And thank you for watching!
Thanks your sharing, I will go there to have a look in coming Dec
You’ll have a great time!
Man I absolutely love your channel, and have learned so much. Your vibe is also super relaxing. Keep doing what you do.
Glad you’re enjoying it, and glad it’s relaxing! Thanks so much for tuning in
2:50 Love the twig n berries! "Every garden needs a phallus!" - Laura Eubanks. Great video with amazing plants! ❤
😂😂😂

What a great show, will have to watch it again
Cheers, appreciate it!

How amazing ,never seen many of yr cacti in greece .
Really love to visit u one day, thks .
Cheers! Thanks for watching 🤘🤘
That looks like a very cool place and one where you could end up spending a lot of money. 🌵
Yeah lots of self control required!

Haha yeah my wardrobe is filled with all sorts of cactus themed stuff… I know what you’re saying 😂😂
I love love your UA-cam channel. I love here in Idaho in the United States. We have a high desert climate. Very hot summers but cold Winters. Can you do a episode on cacti and succulents that can take cold weather?
I’ll have a look into the topic. As you can imagine it’s not something that I’ve needed to consider before, so some research required!
another great video...
Thanks mate!
Wow what a cool place 🌵😳🌱

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.
Love your videos. I’m a fellow cacti lover and collector. Also, would one to see some black shirts with your latest design.
Black shirts… I’ll see what I can knock together. Thanks

Indeed! Thanks heaps for watching 😀😀
Great! Did you mange to leave without buying one or more? Respect!
I ended up buying a very cool hand-made pot. The plants were amazing but I barely have the space for the ones I already own 😅

I didn't think we were allowed to sell Opuntia in Australia. Maybe it is just WA.
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.
I wish we had Bunnings in America
I get the impression it’s just an Australian interpretation of Home Depot. Could be way off the mark though!

YT needs to add a tab where you can mute the music....
Not a fan of the music hey? Thanks for the feedback 🤘🤘
What zone are you in
We don’t really use the concept of zones down here, so I had to look it up. Sydney is apparently in zone 11a.
We don't have zones in Australia but I do believe there is conversion chart somewhere out there so you can find out.
@@AridZineoh how did you find that?? And is it of any use??
I just Googled it.. i don’t actually know anything about zones though so I could be way off.
3rd group here
I’m sure there are many of us!
I think the copiapoa's are haseltoniana's
Perfect! Thanks for the ID - I was heading vaguely in the right direction.
Sheesh.. Wish I could find an abdelkuri for sale in NZ!
Surprised they’re not around… they were barely available here several years ago, now they’re all over the place online.
very impressive, not a good place to take kids :)
Haha 100%
