If you have a question, I will only reply to questions about cultivation. Please no questions about the psychedelic properties of these cacti. - Навчання та стиль
Jerry knows his shit. His videos have taught me so much about my favorite cacti. He is good to do business with as well.
Great video...thanks - now I have to go get some strawberries and fresh mint....yum!
I really like your set up beautiful!!
Great video. I learn a lot from you on how I can take care of my San Pedro cactus. You have a new fan here. 😃👍🏼🌵☕️
I did not know that you also have so many Peyote. They look beautiful😍
Thank you! Yes I love looking at them!
Absolutely awesome seeing your setup, thanks for sharing!
Wow Beautiful looking 🌵👍
I think I under watered my san pedro too🤷🏾♂️🙂
Thanks for the very informative video!
beautiful garden my friend, love to see all the stuff you're growing as well as the cacti!!
I keep my San Pedros in the sun all day and they look ok. Nice and very green. I live in Malta which is zone hardiness 11a. I think they get used to very hot conditions and adapt well. But i give them plent water during summer. Also they unlike some other plants i have, rarely get attacked by insects and other pests(which we have in great abundance) maybe because of their high alkaloid contents
I have a neighbor who has a huge adult san pedro in the ground and she always tell me off for not watering my plants enough! I need to water them more this year!
@@sanpedromastery6262 Yes water and hot sun makes the san Pedro grow fast and healthy. BTW I would like to buy some seeds and maybe live plants from you. Till now i bought from Germany and Holland. They are OK but i like to vary my san pedro strains hoping to find the best
If you give the yellow ones a nitrogen rich fertilizer they will turn green again. I live in Texas and have delt with this from excessive sun. Good dose of nitrogen mid growing season, no more yellow cactus
I wonder if Australian clones are more sun tolerant. I have friends who let unfiltered sun hit them on 47 degree days! Love the videos my man you have helped me a lot.
Thanks, I'm glad you are enjoying my videos down under! :)
Interesting video. Question: Don't you have problems with mold in the trays covered with plastic foil? Humidity should be at 100%. How do you avoid molding? Thanks.
Great video! Really enjoyed the tour! Also, I always get a kick every time a video ends with a pigeon surveying your garden.
These are ringneck doves. They come all the time to eat my perlite. They need to eat stones in order to crush the grains in their stomach, and they've probably found that the perlite does not weigh them down too much! lol
@@sanpedromastery6262 Thanks for the bit of ornithology! Smart doves!
I know these growing methods are mainly for the San Pedro cactus, but do you think these method and techniques can be used to grow a variety of other cacti, such as Mammillaria or Ferocactus, for example?
@0:42 what is that white stuff on the cactus?
What are your other hobbies?
💚
I have a question if anyone can Help.
I Will get some " adult " like 25cm and My open balcon it's faced north side.. My question is.. can i put them outside ? Even if it gets cold ?
full sun exposure is paradise for cactus!!! PLEASE DON'T cover your cacti, the direct sunlight in case of san pedro will turn his color from vibrant (in winter) to faded (in summer) is a natural cicle, but if they turns yellow it's just a matter of nutrients
, i can assure you from mine growing with direct sunlight exposure (12 hours x day during the summer) on a rooftop in south italy
from many years
That looks like a lot of work.
It's a little routine, not that bad, plus I like to spend time with the plants. This said, at the moment, I am covering the plants more than I used to due to them being too yellowish for my taste. When they return to a greener/ blueish color, I'll probably ease the shading ;)
Do u sell fig trees
Hi Jerry greetings from Florida and thank you for the wonderful videos. I have just been blessed with 3 Peruvian torch cuttings.. two tops of about 70cm each and a middle cut of 50cm each. Do you recommend that i cut the bigger ones in half or is it best to keep them long and plant them as is? Thanks for your time and energy regarding my questions.
Definitely keep them as long as possible, they will grow better. The smaller you cut them, the smaller the pups will be and the slower they will grow :)
What are the specs of the shade cloth you are using? I can't remember if you said it in this video or another one but now I can't find it! Thanks so much for the video :)
I can't remember the percentage of shading, possibly 90% for the better quality shade cloth, and 70% for the cheaper one. But I don't believe that these advertised numbers are correct. Probably closer to 50% and 30%. I recommend going to a DIY store and taking a look at the fabric in person. It's a trial and error process.
where can i find that kind of table? 0:18
Do you find your cactus get a little bit squishy if they havent been watered recently? Love the videos
My adult san pedros, not so much, the peyotes yes maybe...
Dear Jerry, I absolutely love the videos. I live in the UK and have begun growing Lophophora Willimsii from seed, as well as bought a few 2-3cm pups. They all started light green, and the oldest one has begun to go a little squidgy and gone dark green/ purplish. I was wondering if you had any information on the right amount of direct sun?
I should clarify the pups are in the sun, not the seedlings 😂
Thanks Jerry for your video.
My question is , how this plant tolerates so much sun in the nature ( middle or South America ) but doesn't in Europe?
This is exactly how some people say , don't water your cactus in the winter , even it rains in the winter in the nature.
What is that information that we miss?
Over there they tend to grow on hills or mountains and only have half a day of sun. Mine gets a full day of sun. I have recently realized that this is too much. Now I have to cover them a lot until they recover a greener/ blueish color. Afterwards, I will cover them a bit less.
@@sanpedromastery6262 hey mate love your chanell and i am subscribed but i have to disagree with you on this one, i live in aus and my cacti can tolerate full days sun all summer even in 45 degree heat, the yellowing has more to do with nutrient deficiency than excess sunlight
My patio is really covered, so my plants can only get sun in the morning when the sun is at an angle to come in through the side. I can see they've slowed growth already (I just moved in a month ago) and are getting slightly etiolated. Should I get some grow lights?
You did not mention how old they are. If they are a few months old, then you could try a T5 tube to add a bit of extra light.
@@sanpedromastery6262 they're quite old, one's from a cutting at about 8 inches, the others are a few feet tall. The cutting was really thick, but without much light it's gotten about half as thick as it was. So in that case I think I'll look into getting one, thanks!
Isn't the sun much stronger where they grow naturally like West coast US and south America?
I would say the sun here is like the one in Southern California. Full day sun here is a bit much for them, half a day is perfect.
@@sanpedromastery6262 full day sun in the UK should be fine?
Hello, first of all, great videos, really helpful and well produced. Second I hope to ask you a question about repotting. I have a San Pedro that I am about to move to a bigger pot really soon. The bottom part (the length of the cutting when I got it) is not so nice looking and is actually a little thinner than the new growth and the ribs on that part are not swelling up like the rest when I water. And it has actually formed a "preroot" on that part as well. Could I plant the cactus deeper to cover that part and hope to form new roots or would it be too big of a risk of rot?
Best regards
Difficult to say without a photo, that depends on the height of the plant, and how thin the lower part is compared to the top part. If you want, you can email me a photo and I will let you know what I think. If it was mine, I would probably leave it as is. If you bury it some more, the deeper it is, the more chances it has of rotting.
@@sanpedromastery6262 thank you for your reply. I planted it deeper about 2weeks ago, have been keeping the soil dry and hope it will root and not rot. So fingers crossed 🤞
How often do you water your cactis?
Not enough! About every 3-4 weeks. I will water them more this year! Ideally you can water them again as soon as the soil is dry.
@@sanpedromastery6262 Thanks!
That farina
Hi sir,
By the looks of it you got alot of cactuses. But what do you do with all of them?
Is it possible to buy some grown San pedro from you, a large amount? Could we get in contact?
Greetzzz. Keep up the good work!
Is your accent a mix of French and Dutch?
I would have thought just french... but I have lived in quite a few countries, so it's possible it all got mixed up!
@@sanpedromastery6262 I'm from Canada so maybe I'm just used to the French-Canadian accent which to my understanding is like a whole different language than original French.
I'm in the andes where the sun's stronger than all of your countries year round and I never cover them
I live in Malta and its seriously HOT here also, even in winter its like summer in the rest of europe and i keep my San Pedros in the Sun all day. And the hotter it is the more they grow and better looking they get. But i do water them about once a week
Shadow on the Sun?
You've never come to southern europe during summer.
@sapo no it's not stronger.
I live in the chihuahua desert 32° latitude 4k above sea level. all my pachanoi, bridgesii and peruvianus cactus are in full sun and they are beautiful green and blue not yellow and they look way better than this guy's.the only cactus i grow in shade are lophophora.
We're talking about two completely different climates.
@@alessandrosala5272 are you sure? Because he lives in Spain and I live on the U.S./Mexico border. That was my point. They don't always need to be grown under cloth if I can grow them in the arid desert under full sun almost a mile above sea level.
@@ReisterJP Yes, humidity here is really high during summer and it can fuck up your cactuses if you don't take care of them, on the other hand desert zones are dry, which is the best climate for them
is not about humidity and sun is the soil and nutrients!! Here in italy I live near a lake where humidity is always around 90% and in summer with 40 celsius degree and my san pedro is always on the roof with direct sun light from 8 am to 8 pm and is perfect green fat and with amazing spines!! I give him just sh*t of my chickens
@@3ok403 I agree seems like humidity would help them as long as the soil is dry and or sandy. I use worm casting mixed with gypsum as "soil". mine live through 115° summers. sometimes I mist the plant with hydroponic fertilizers so they bloom since I don't consume my plants I just collect cactus because I live in the desert and I like flowers. Here in El Paso you can walk around a city neighborhood and see cactus and yucca from all over the new world as landscape plants. Barrel cactus and prickly pear cactus grow like weeds and you can buy nopales cactus at the grocery store for food.
