The weather is weird all over the world. I’m in Georgia USA & the summer has been terribly hot & rainy too. Thanks for sharing your tips Lyn!
The weather really has been crazy for so many this Summer, thanks so much Carol for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Georgia for a terrific Thursday XXXX
Oh, Lyn, I’m trying to stay on top of watering my cacti, because we’ve had the exact opposite weather here in CA. It’s been SO hot for weeks on end, with no rain in sight. I’m having to water my cacti every few days. I hope you get some sunny weather soon!!
Awwww thanks so much Ashley :-D I wish you could send me some sun and I could send you some rain haha, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to California from across the Emerald Isle for a wonderful Wednesday today XXXX
I water them once every two weeks and it seems like it is almost too much... I use Aloe Vera juice to really make them rot proof... and charcoal helps a lot! for anyone who wants to ensure a healthy Lophophora. Charcoal added to whatever your soil mix already is, and using Aloe juice not only makes the roots grow fast but keeps the Lophophora from splitting with the faster growth... My Lophophora that are watered with Aloe juice grow just as fast as a grafted Lophophora on PC Rootstock. Thanks for the video Lyn,... Happy growing from the middle of the melting pot! I am the melting pot mascot!!!
WOW thats an AWESOME tip with the Aloe vera juice, and that would be so incredible to try with my Lophs, thankfully the weather in Ireland is starting to pick up now and its starting to get much warmer and more sunshine at last, thanks so much Parnell and Jakaiya for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you guys lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a terrific Thursday today XXXX
Great tips Lyn😊🙏It's been hot, sunny 35/37℃ daily and not much rain until this week because it's the start of the typhoon Season. The humidity is always high no matter, and I only water twice a month because of the humidity. Humidity and watering often kill cacti fast unless they are Notocactus, Echinopsis or Trichocereus then they actually love humid hot-as-can-be weather👍Winter is contrary to our Summer Lyn. It is almost like a desert: Sunny and dry with sporadic rain, and the nights freeze in midwinter, so my cacti actually still need a watering every month because they can actually die from being dry for over three months with 30% humidity, and if they survive they are set back many months to grow a new root system. That can take most of the Spring for them to get their health back. Yes, it's so difficult to advise people how to water cacti when we live in such different climates, and even within a country the climates can vary. I enjoyed watching Lyn😊🙏💖💯🌵
So happy you loved the video on the Loph watering Newman :-D and it really is amaizng how different all of our climates and environments can be for our cacti, and it must be so different in Japan with the weather and humidity, and wow with just 30% humidity in winter, its always a dilemma when people ask us about how to water cacti as it can vary so much depending on all the different things, thanks so much Newman for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Japan for a terrific Thursday evening XXXX
Hi Lyn, same weather until now here in Germany, hoping for next summer and lovely sun🌵💚
This Summer really has been a washout haha, but thankfully the weather seems to be getting much better the past few days and there is definitely more sunshine about and less rain now into August, lets hope next Summer will make up for this one :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Germany for a terrific Thursday XXXX
I usually use the " stick" method to tell when they need water. And very good advice Lyn, water when they fully dry out!! I use this on almost all my succulent plants. Thanks for sharing Lyn!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, to across the emerald isle, have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🌴🌿🌳🌸🌷🌾💐🌱🌹😃👍
Thats fantastic you use the stick method to check when your Lophs need watering Clyde :-D thankfully we are having much better weather the past two days have been nice and warm again after weeks of endless rain and thunderstorms, and it was so good I gave them all a good water just in time for the sunshine appearing again, thanks so much Clyde for your fantastic Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you and beautiful Deb and all the pets and plants lots of love and happiness and PEACE, LOVE, PLANTS and PLANT POWER to Morris Park for a fantastic afternoon XXXX
Living in Glasgow, as I do, our weather is pretty much the same. (Nice day today, thank goodness)
I have one of those peyote cactus and I now realize that I have been a bit stingy with watering it. (poor thing!)
Thanks as always for your information and cheery disposition!!
😎🌵❤🧡💛💚💙💜
Thats fantastic the weather has been good for you today in Glasgow too Frank, and Belfast and Glasgow would have very similar weather, its been nice and sunny today here, and its so wonderful to get some sun after all of the rain, thanks so much Frank for your wonderful comments and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Belfast to Glasgow for a fantastic evening XXXX
Thanks for another great video Lyn.
Being a newcomer to the cacti world I struggle to get my watering right.
This video will help in in a few months time as we head into spring and summer.
I have done very little watering during the past few months as we had a cold wet winter.
Look forward to your next video
So happy you loved the video on watering Lophophora and other cacti Ted :-D and thats awesome you have the Spring and Summer to look forward too, thanks so much Ted for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a terrific Thursday XXXX
Super cool video. Lophs are my favorite. I appreciate your knowledge, I didn't know that you should top water these amazing plants. I was stunned that you actually got the plant wet. I usually water from below. I'm learning. Awesome channel ❤thanks
So happy that Lophs are your favourite too Johnny, they really are the most incredible cacti to grow and I love their little woolly tufts haha, so happy you love the channel and thanks so much Johnny for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a terrific Thursday XXXX
Awesome video, Lyn 😊 Watered all mine yesterday evening seeing as we’re now into a few days of warm, sunny weather. I haven’t watered the ones in the greenhouse as often as I did last year, as you said it’s been a slow start to the spring and summer and July was a wash out. Thank you for sharing with us as always, Lyn. Have a lovely evening from Edith & myself to you and Hans ❤️🌵☀️🌸🌺🌼🏜
Thats fantastic you have watered all yours yesterday too Daz :-D and thank goodness the weather seems to be picking up now, its been much warmer and sunnier these past couple of days and today looks like its going to be lovely too, so happy you loved the video, and thanks so much Daz your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you and beautiful Edith lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to England and Singapore for a terrific sunny Thursday today XXXX
I need lophophora cactus in my Cactus Collection! Beautiful Collection and very interesting and informative video Lyn!
Greetings from Elda 🌺🌞🏜🌵🥰
So happy you loved the Lophophora collection Elda :-D these cacti really are amazing and wacky and wonderful to add to your stunning collection, thanks so much Elda for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Hans and me to Albania for a wonderful evening XXXX
I thought the same thing!
@@GlasshouseandGarden Awwww thanks so much Nick :-D and thanks so much for watching and for your awesome support, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXX
Excellent information Lyn, enjoyed the video 😊 ive not watered my indoor cactus much during all this rainy weather, it feels like there hasn't been much of a growing season atall this year, upto now, for our cactus plants, but i have had some of my Lophophoras flowering happily, and with reduced waterings because of the wet weather.🌵👍🏻😊💜🌸
So happy you loved the info and video Claire :-D and thats fantastic you have had your Lophs flowering, the Summer this year really has been a washout and growth has slowed so much with all my plants, and so many have dropped their buds which is a shame especially my Gymnos and Echinopsis, yesterday was lovely and today looks like its going to be a nice sunny day, but it really has been a bad growing season, thanks so much Claire for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you and Jack lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX
Excellent video as always, Lyn, so good to be stressing your point that 'one size will not fit all' and that one definitely has to adapt the watering amount and frequency to the weather! Also of course, the type of substrate and pots one is using, plus the individual location of the plant (e.g. very sunny vs. in the shade), etc. Great video!! Sending you and Hans lot's of cactus greetings over to the beautiful Emerald Isle! Plant Power & happy growing!!😊🙌👍🌵🌵🌺🌼💮💚😎
So happy you loved the video on the Loph watering Joe :-D it really is a dilemma when people ask us about when to water their cacti haha, as it can vary so much with all of our different climates, the Summer in Ireland and U.K has been a washout haha, especially when compared to the heatwave last year, but thankfully the past couple of days the weather has picked up and its starting to get nice and warm now and today looks like its going to be another nice dry and bright day, thanks so much Joe for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle to Bavaria for a terrific Thursday today XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon hi Lyn, indeed after a pretty warm and sunny June & July here, we also just had a stretch of unusually rainy and cool weather...last night had 6C !! But indeed blue sky today and temps quickly climbing again! Our cacti will quickly get going again, haha!! Best wishes for a longer sunny and warm period of weather your end now too!!👍🏖🌞🌝🌞🌵🌵🌺🌼💚😎🙌
@@cactusjoe XXXXX ❤😎🌻🌞☀🌞🌅🏜🏝🌵🌵🌵
We had a big Heatwave half of July in ny but seems like every other day it storms I have to keep bringing my plants inside. Be glad just to have a full week of nice sunny weather hopefully the rest of August. 🪴🌵☘️😊
The weather really has been crazy, and there seems to have been a lot of Storms this Summer for many, last Summer we was baking in a heatwave and this Summer has been so wet, today has been much better and hopefully August will see more sun for us, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle to N.Y XXXX
Hey Lyn, My spring & summers are wicked. During April thru late July, it's 80-90% humidity with 40c temps. But August tho, AH, 13-30% humidity & still 40c, but dry and nice. It doesn't feel hot. Then comes Autumn, ahhhhh, color color color & dry - even NICER! My favorite months, August - March. April - July is hell.
WOW with the high humidity and 40c temps Marie, and with the high humidity and heat it feels even hotter, I remember last year we had a heatwave in Ireland and U.K and the humidity and the heat was crazy, this year we have had the humidity but with the endless rain haha, the Autumn is so lovely with the colourful leaves and Ireland always seems to get the Summer then haha, thanks so much Marie for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday today XXXX
Hi lyn here in Miami Florida it has been unusually hot. We had record heat waves. Never seen before.
The Summer really has been so odd for so many, and last year we had heatwaves and the hottest and driest summer since 1976 and now this year in Ireland the wettest Summer since records began, it really is crazy, thanks so much Alex for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Miami for a terrific Thursday XXXX
Thanks Lyn, I'm probably not watering my Lophs enough. They are still tiny babies and we are having a bit of a heatwave, so the porous terracota pots dry out very quickly.
Thats wonderful you have Lophs too, they are really amazing cacti to grow, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a terrific Thursday XXXX
Hi Lyn, love the video xxx❤️❤️❤️

Thanks Lyn for the upload. Those cacti look beautiful. I had the opportunity to get 8 wonderful of these beauties from a grower in Germany. But can you believe, that over here in Switzerland dose belong to the forbidden two cactus plants (peyote) I was very upset that we're the only country in Europe to have this crazy law!!!???
I hope that you'll have a wonderful Indian Summer, take care 🌵🌵🌵😃
Oh no so sorry to hear that in Switzerland Lophophora is not legal to grow Luna, thats such a shame and a really ridiculous law, I never knew about Switzerland not allowing Lophophora, I would not be surprised if they ban us growing it in U.K and Ireland one day, I would be hiding all my Lophs in the cupboards with grow lights haha, thanks so much Luna for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Switzerland for a wonderful evening XXXX

I have a lophophora grafted onto a San Pedro and is growing a lot this year! When should I un graft it and what do I do to get it to root
Hi Anthony :-D if the Trichocereus San pedro graft stock is healthy it would be best to leave the Lophophora on the San pedro graft stock as Lophophoras can be difficult to root on their own once they have been de grafted, thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful comment and support, and wishing you a fantastic plant powered Wednesday XXXX

We had night temps below 10c as low as 8c so i am confused and to be safe i turned on the gas heater for the last 4 nights but come on nature it is sommer
The Summer really has been awful Anders, and we have had a couple of nights last week at just 8c too and very chilly, Lophs are very cold hardy, thankfully today is much warmer and dry weather at last but I hope we get more sunny days before the Summers runs away LOL! thanks so much Anders for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful afternoon and evening XXXX
So every time i measure my string to see how long it is, i should water my cacti? Thanks Lyn 💚🌵
