How do you avoid sun burn when keeping them outside? I live in South Africa so we have a lot of sun. Your cacti are really impressive. Any tips on growth rate and increasing how blue they are?
@@uraninite8151 so if your cacti are grown in shade and immediately put into full sun they will burn. So they need to get use to full sun gradually increasing the amount of sun they get. Some days in summer it's just extremely hot and sunny and I cannot avoid the sunburn so it does happen but you just need them to get use to it. Also afternoon sun will burn more than morning sun so if you can get all morning sun and give them shade in the early afternoon that would be better. Even once they are use to a lot of sun if they are yellow it's too much sun and they won't get much blue. Too much shade and they will grow skinny. So you need inbetween I try to give them as much sun as possible before it becomes a negative. Also the blue is genetic so some will never get blue on them. Hope I've explained it as best as I can haha. Any more questions feel free to ask again.
Wow! That Boltwood is just a crazy fast grower!
Beautiful collection of seedlings and diverse genetics. Thank you for the tour mate!
I forgot to mention - I’m up in Anchorage Alaska (but I lived in Adelaide for 5 years, and I have family in ACT and Bermagui
I tend to lump 'Super Pedro' and T. cordobensis together as T. scopulicola
