Awesome job friend!! I discovered your channel recently, and im obsesed. In 2024 i started my cactus collection and im a begginer. You are helping me to learn a lot of new things and showing me a lot of new plants. Thanks for sharing your knowdeledge with us. Greatings from Argentina
I so enjoy your videos. So much information I glean from your videos. Loved this trip to see all these beauties!! I live in Montana USA where we have 4 seasons. Very cold in winter. I adore C/S. I tend to go for the odd ones. I can only grow them in pots due to cold climate. However, I do have a couple of windows that give lots of light. Thank you for your channel!!
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.
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 (:
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.
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.
I just discovered your channel. I live in California where cacti and succulents are common. I don't associate cacti with Australia, that's why it's so interesting to see your perspective. I'm really looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Just seeing this video, was amazing to see so many cacti and succulents at a nursery in Australia! I have seen others in Australia that have awesome cactus gardens! I hope to make it down there some day. I hope you do a video on some of the eco tourism places in Australia that really showcase what Australia has to offer! Keep up the great videos!
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
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! 😊😊
Nice plants there! I'm from Mexico and here is so incredible see the cactus in their habitat... Can i suggest something? Could you show us succulents from Australia?
I am starting to create a dry garden at my home in New Caledonia (we are "neighbors"). I live in a part of the island where opuntia and acanthocereus grow naturally and are even invasive. I have created a 30cm high growing bed made of 60% river sand and 30% topsoil. I have added compost to the planting holes. I hope to be able to create something durable and aesthetically pleasing. I also hope that the tropical rains that are coming will not ruin everything. Your videos are very informative.
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?
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!
Wow those prices are all easily more than 10 times higher than what you'd see in the US. I'm surprised tho because we can buy cacti hybrids online from Asia that are very cheap and import them, so wondering why it wouldn't be even cheaper for anyone there to do the same since you're so close geographically. It's nice to see a good variety available there and a growing interest in cacti is always a good thing! Great content!
Our prices are probably super inflated because it’s a pretty niche scene, and import controls over plants are prohibitive. It’s either super expensive or super illegal to bring plants into the country.
Thanks Bro a really good vid but did you ever find out the name of the curly single stem plant at 12:50 please? Living in southern England I am restricted to what's available as the weather is not good for outdoor Succulent growing.
@@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.
@@AridZine oh my.... they have more in common with Home Depot than I thought 🤣 their garden materials are often just big time garbage name brands. When I can find the Mom & Pop stores they usually have very good quality product.
Love your videos,have learned so much from you. I live in Uk,its cold/winter here now but my banana plants didn't go dormant this year,just kept growing with the same speed. Not sure what to think/do. Do you have any advice ?
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!
Such a variety if flowers and olants for sure.
I'm stunned and looking forward for more.
The seller is conversant though with ehat down with us
I totally agree! Cheers
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.
2:50 Love the twig n berries! "Every garden needs a phallus!" - Laura Eubanks. Great video with amazing plants! ❤
😂😂😂
I’m going to visit Cactus Vision soon - thanks for this video. It looks like an amazing place. Can’t wait to see what they’ve got!
I hope you find some cool stuff when you visit - let them know I say hi! Legends over at CV.
I did, we got a gorgeous cactus and I did mention you!
Thanks your sharing, I will go there to have a look in coming Dec
You’ll have a great time!

@@AridZineYou more than deserve it!
I agree with you 100 percent!
What a great show, will have to watch it again
Cheers, appreciate it!
Wonderful episode! I love cacti
Great to see a nursery specializing in C & S. They have some unusual & healthy specimens too. I hope they do well.
Agreed!
Thanks for your time to share.
And thank you for watching!

I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel! Montana would be a tough spot to care for them, but sounds like you’ve got it figured out. Cheers.
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
another great video...
Thanks mate!
What a treat! Thank you for this tour!
Thank you for watching! 🤘🤘
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.
You’re right.. that’s why I like to grow a few winter growing plants to keep me amused over the off season 😀
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 (:

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!

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
How amazing ,never seen many of yr cacti in greece .
Really love to visit u one day, thks .
Cheers! Thanks for watching 🤘🤘
I went to that shop today ...The people are very good and helpful.....great experience.
Aren’t they fantastic!
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
Haha yeah my wardrobe is filled with all sorts of cactus themed stuff… I know what you’re saying 😂😂

Fantastic! Sounds like you’re giving your plants the best chance at success. I’m sure well-selected plants will thrive with the tropical rain.
Wow- what an amazing place!! I just saw your video and I'm definitely subscribing - greetings from NYC!! 🤩🤗🗽💖🪴🌿💚
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😃
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!
Cool channel, I'll have to check out the rest of your videos.
Cheers! Appreciate it
Very informative clip. Great work!
Appreciate it! 🤘🤘
We have Ceiba speciosa here in San Diego, didn't know much about them! I'd love to have one.
They’re really very beautiful plants, especially in flower
Amazing Species of Cactus..❤.
Absolutely! 🤘🤘

I did - it’s a Ceropegia stapeliformis I believe!
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.
Hermosos cactus 🌵
Thank you!
🌵✌💚
🤘🤘
Hello my name is Beccy I love your you tube channel I collect 🌵 🌵 🌵 cactus plants ❤😊
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!

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.
YT needs to add a tab where you can mute the music....
Not a fan of the music hey? Thanks for the feedback 🤘🤘
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.
Good channel. Though I do find the TV voice a little hard on the ears.
Understood 🤘
Antarctica is the driest continent ;)
You know… that factoid was running through my head even as I uttered those words… and I knew someone would call me out on it 😂😂
@AridZine I think habitable was the key word missing, although there's some penguins that would disagree
Am I the only one who keeps getting ads every 1 minute? I got like 10 ads and I’m only half way in the video. I’m not watching this even if I want to.
It’s not something I’ve heard anyone having an issue with… sorry it’s affected your viewing 🥲
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%
