- When cactus flowers get pollinated, fruits develop after. Although cactus fruits are edible, most of them are just harvested for their seeds. This video will show how cactus seed pods look like as well as tell you when they are ready to be collected for the seeds.

Спасибо 🌹 за ваше видео.
Just got my first germinations. Thankyou very helpful.
Wonderful!
Great collection, seeing plants grow from seeds is something amazing but in the case of cactus it is really magical, thank you so much for sharing! :)
Growing them from seeds successfully feels very rewarding. Thank you so much for watching and for leaving a nice comment. Cheers!
6:03 To me, that seed pod/fruit looks like a mini yellow dragon fruit!
Dragonfruit are cactuses too...many cactus fruits look the same...they have the same basic design
Hi Cactus Caffeine!! I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I have been really enjoying your videos!! I love gardening cacti and succulents and I love learning more about them!! Your videos have helped me learn so much already!! I was wondering if you have done a video about Rebutia cactus fruits and when and how to harvest the seeds! I just got a Rebutia and it already has so many little pink flowers!! I'm very excited to try and propagate them!!
Thankyou so much and Cheers!! 🌻☕🌵💕
Thank you! Great example for harvesting. Appreciate your efforts to share with us.
Amazing Ana 👍🏻 you have me pollinating my 🌵 now and I can’t wait to harvest the fruits and collect the seeds 😁🌵 really enjoy your videos

That’s so fun being able to collect the seeds like that! Everything is looking fantastic in your collection! 🌵❤️
Hi Natty. Thank you. Not everything is looking fantastic actually. My succulents are all wilting due to the heat and dry summer air here in Nevada! 😌
Oh I get that mine are doing the same. It’s HOT and dry here in Utah as well. Good luck!!
Hi ms. Cactus caffeine. I bought seeds from online shopping last week. But im not sure that i bought the real cactus seed. I have with me a small red seeds. Do you have cactus that produces red seeds? I watch your video, and all the seeds are black. What do you think? And incase its fake, can i buy seeds from you? Im really interested to have a real cactus seed so i can make it a hobby also. My email add is dengquiazon@yahoo.com
Hope i can buy seeds, pls. Thanks
Very nice
Helpfull
Thank you this was awesome very uswful
Hi Ana. Cactus Caffeine. I'm so glad I found your channel. I have many cactus and succulents, also some house plants. I've already bought my tomato fertilizer. I greatly appreciate all your videos. I can hear you better now. I haven't put my cactus out this summer, we have so many bugs on the east coast this year. Mine are in a west window, and are pretty healthy. But not enough sun to flower. Maybe next year. I've got the tomato fertilizer ready. So excited to see what happens. Thanks Again.
Thank you Kerry. 🌵☕️ I admire people like you because you may not have the best condition for growing cactus and yet you make it work. Wish you the best! 🙂
very informative video
Glad you liked it ☺️ Thanks
I wish I had a cactus seeds or a cactus because I know it's fun having seed Lalo na sa pag aalaga pag nag karoon ako NG cactus aalagaan ko talaga... I hope I can have a cactus
Wow so many seed pods, great info, thank you for sharing 🌵🌵😊
I feel blessed. Thank you.
Great video
Thanks you ☕️🌵
Very interesting and informative, Ana. 👍👏 Wow, that grandiflora seed pod was truly huge. Lovely, large and impressive collection all around you as well. 😍😍😍
Molly, I got a lot of seeds from the grandiflora. The others I did not show anymore. I can’t plant them all so I will be giving away seeds soon. Do you grow cactus from seeds? Aside from your melocactus?
@@CactusCaffeine Hi Ana! No, I haven't started propogating any cacti seeds for now. Only propogating succulents. I might do so one day though.
Great info
Thank you, Jan. I appreciate you. 🙂☕️
Great info. Thank youuuu :)
I’ve always joked that I’m like a cactus, not everyone loves us. Thank you for your video.
We're full of character - prickly on the outside but fascinating overall, definitely not mainstream :D
nice tips.......
Thank you for your kind comment and for stopping by ☕️
Awesome video😙
Thank you and cheers! ☺️🌵☕️
I love your videos. I learn so much! 🙂
Oh, thank you for your wonderful comment Joseph. You inspire me to do even better. Have a great day! 🙂☕️

I enjoyed watching your channel . ❤️❤️❤️
Aww, thank you Elvie and welcome! You should try acting like the bee and pollinate your flowers. 🌸🌸It’s fun and feels rewarding when you succeed. 😊 Keep in touch and cheers! ☕️☕️
Hi Ana! Golly, there's such an abundance of seed! So wonderful! I've had seeds self sow, and it's a pleasant experience watching them grow into tiny cacti. Thank you for sharing. From the garden city of India to you, have a blest weekend! Cheerio.
Yes, bees in my backyard are very reliable. I feel blessed. I have more seeds than what I can plant that is why I am giving them away soon. Thank you, Carl. Have a fabulous day! ☕️☕️
Salamat po ate Ana! i'm going to collect my cactus seeds now!
Yehey! Good luck.
Hi Ana I am from India your videos r very informative Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us
Thank you for your kind words. ☺️
hello sis, now i know how to harvest...wow you have lots of seeds to collect and soon to be babies cacti..tnx for sharing sis
I got too much seeds na nga, eh. More than what I can plant. That’s why I want to share them. Thank you as always, Mariza. ☺️
Watching your video really amazed it still too long for me to have it but i can wait for that time. You have a beautiful collection i was inspired by you ... I enjoyed watching your videos .Thank you so much !!!
Thank you Erlinda. I appreciate your feedback. Good luck with your cactus. Cheers! 😊🌵😃
Thanks! 🌹
wow!!so many seeds..😍😍😍
It was a good pollinating year. 😉 🐝🌸🐝🌵
I've been watching your videos po and naiinspire po akong magpadami ng mga alaga ko pong cactus and succulents.😍😍
I was so surprised to see one of my mammillaria having two fruits for the first time today and I don't usually do the polinating thing with the paint brush or tooth pics..so probably done by bees..I then watched this video of yours to see when to collect seeds and must say that it's pretty helpful.👌👌👌
How exciting! Hope you can sow the seeds as well when they are ready. ua-cam.com/video/XdRprJos3G4/v-deo.html
☺️🌵
@@CactusCaffeine I hope so too Anna
Great tutorial! You have so many nice buds! I’m crossing my fingers that my notocactus forms seed pods. It has three blooms. I hope you will be able to propagate many baby cacti from your seeds! Cheers! 🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
Oh! Good luck. 🍀 I hope you get seed pods, too. 🙂
That's a lot of work!! I have my first seed pod so im watching tons of videos.. 😂
Good luck! 👍🏼 🙂
Wow l9ve the parodia
Hello from Ken in Japan another great video. I have around 250 new cactus plants that I bought and added to my collection.
Is your house a cactus jungle yet? 😉 hahaha. Thank you Ken and cheers! ☕️☕️
Have you cactus seeds dear.
just made the connection of the cactus fruit and dragon fruit lol!
That yellow one looks good to eat. I would have eaten it. By far the best way to collect the seeds lol. Most cacti fruit are edible.
Very nice video
Hi Marites! Thank you. How are your cacti doing?
Cactus Caffeine They are doing okay. I just have few not like yours. Also, not sure mine doesn’t flower like yours. Maybe it’s because of weather here in Canada, almost no summer. 🤣
Cold and gloomy up to this time of the month.
I’m sure when your summer comes, your cacti will flower and will go through a growth spurt. 😃
Hi ate, thank you for this video more videos to comeeee 😍
Hi Chelsea! Salamat po for watching and for your words of encouragement. ☺️☕️
@@CactusCaffeine ate more videos pa sana. I wish you can teach us in person, maybe soon. Do you have moon cactus po ba?
Chelsea Ancheta, haha. Camera shy pa ako eh. I used to have a moon cactus. Pero it did not last. 😌
@@CactusCaffeine ate can you teach me on what you do after you harvest the seedpot?
Wow, so many seed pods have formed on your cacti Ana. Loooooads inside the Grandiflora! Have they all been pollinated naturally by the bees or did you give a helping hand? Great info too with when they’re ready to harvest. Thanks for sharing Ana 👍🏻🌵☀️🌸
Awesome info, Ana. Thank you for sharing. 🥰
I pollinated the grandiflora but since all my cacti are outside in my backyard, bees also come and goes. Buzz bee did most of the work with the parodias and gymnos. Thank you Daz and Edith! Sorting them out for you... 😉
😍 thank you, Ana. 🥰
6:53 the fruit of trichocereus grandiflorus looks like dragon fruit
Do you have Argentina toothpick cactus ? Thanks Ana have a great day
Referred by Marge Santillan, Thank you and Happy New Year 2020
Thank you so much for visiting my channel. Marge is my idol when it comes to fleshy/leafy succulents. Hope you enjoyed watching. ☺️🌵☕️
Wow! Just discovered your channel and already a huge fan!!
Do you sell seeds anywhere or have any recommendations on where to procure more rare varieties? I just hand pollinated my blue torch cactus, and the process is quite magical. Any reply appreciated!
Totally unrelated, is that Filipino accent I hear? My mother-in-law was born near Batangas!
Here is my video on how to grow cactus from seed. In the comments section, there are a few suggestions on where to get seeds online. ua-cam.com/video/XdRprJos3G4/v-deo.html
And yes, I am Filipino. ☺
@@CactusCaffeine salamat!!!
Oh my! how am I going to have those kind of cactus. Cactae here not as big as those and how I wish to have some seeds to plant.
Hola Ana!
Lots of seed pods!
have to watch out for ants 🐜 have been around my fruit lol.
Im trying to cross pollinate my copiapoa and one of my Echinopsis hopefully i get fruit!
🌞Lots of hugs 🌹
I have been in search of copiapoa. A cross of that with echinopsis... that is unique. You may get to name the new hybrid. 😉🤓
@@CactusCaffeine its been cloudy so I'm hoping we have a sunny day soon so the flowers can open 🙁
Hugs Ana! 🌹
hay 🙋🤗
Can I plant the pod as a whole or do I need to cut it open? My barrel cactus is sprouting pods like crazy!
That is great that you are getting so many sprouts! 😃 One pod is full of seeds, maybe even a hundred. If you plant it as a whole, you’ll end up with lots of seedlings bunched up together. It is also not advisable to plant the pulp especially if you are planting in a closed humid environment because it will encourage molds or fungus.
Great video
Do you have a website.
I would like one of my cactus identified if you are happy for me to send a picture of it.
😍😍😍😍😍ma quanto sono belli i suoi cactus 🌵...sono una grande appassionata...e esattamente come lei mi piace bere il caffe al mattino insieme ai miei cactus che non sono molti...mi dispiace molto che non so 🤷♀️ ancora L inglese...ma mi sto dando da fare...per poter comprendere tutto cio che dice....GRAZIE...🤗quanto mi piacerebbe un po di semi da lei di quelli cactus che è difficile da procurare 🤗...ma siamo cosi lontani!?💁...arrivederci...🌵🌺🌼
Ciao Marga Rita! I had to get google to help me translate your comment. 😉 Thank you for your kind words and I am happy we share the same passion for cactus and for coffee. ☺️🌵☕️ Were you asking about seeds? I will be giving away seeds from my collection soon so stay tuned for my next videos. Arrivederci!
I would like to buy some!
Hi What are the chances off sending me seeds to Cape Town, South Africa please? The same like you grew,
Trichocereus fruit are good to eat too, better than dragon fruit to me.
Really? Haven’t tried it cause the seeds don’t look appealing to me. Hahaha.
Would love to get some seeds from ya. If available
To be honest, I expected you would eat that Trichocereus fruit and comment its flavor🙂 It looks so tasty, similar to dragon fruit.
Hi ate anna ., plano ko kc mag gamit ng tomato fertilizer peru nag aalang ako baka rest time na nila. panu po ko malaman na rest time na nila dito sa philippines? October to January din po ba gaya ng sa nyu?
Hi Maan. Rest time nila diyan sa pinakamalamig na months, which is Dec-Feb. Reduce mo yung watering (or even no water) that time and keep them in a cooler spot. Para that is their signal to stop growing and go on their dormancy. Pagdating ng March, they should wake up again. 🙂
@@CactusCaffeine thanks po ate ., marami ako cactus kasu di naman nag fflower minsanan lang ako mka kita ng flower nila.. Hehe hoping nextyear meron na po sila flowers try ko yung steps mo.. Thanks much po
are the big yellow fruits edible ? they look like pitaya dragon fruit
As far as I know, all cactus fruits are edible. But some have more seeds than flesh. 😉
Can you eat the fruits of the cactus ate? It looks tasty Yong ibang cacti fruits
Yes, cactus fruits are edible. But others are so small that you will eat more seeds than fruit. 😄
Hello Ana, i love watching your channel am wondering you can send me some cactus seeds..thank you..
I accidentally knocked pod which wasn't ready! I planted the seeds anyway... Will they still grow?
ritchie ferguson sometimes when I open a fruit/seed pod that is not ripe yet, I discover that the seeds are different colors. I guess they are still in different stages of development. There are some seeds though that seemed to have developed faster. So you may still get some to germinate. 🙂
Hopefully! Thank you
3.40 What its name please?
i love cactus i dont have any like that. im so sad..
How long can you keep cactus seed before it becomes nonviable?
I’ve sown seeds that are 3 years old and they still germinated. I am not sure exactly how long they can last. The length of viability also depends on how well you store them.
@@CactusCaffeine thank you! I've been so keen to grow cactus from seed. I've tried other plants before and have some success. Just discovered your channel the other day and love your 'how to' videos! Really informative and easy to follow! 🌵
Can you eat the fruit?
Yes. But some are too small that you will only end up eating mostly seeds. The big fruits like the prickly pear and the dragon fruit are what are commercially sold as fruits.
can you teach me how to germinate cactus seed please?
Bozoo The Billa I am working on a video about it. 😉👍🏼
@@CactusCaffeinecan I have your email please??
inayeem284@gmail.com is my emai.
Hi, i have a question, isn't the yellow fruit edible?🤔😉🌵
As far as I know, all cactus fruits are edible. But some are not worth eating because they are small and has so many seeds.
This is an old comment, but I thought I'd reply anyway. Yes, you can eat any cactus fruit. Even if the fruits are tiny, they are absolutely delicious. I have several different small mammilara species. They produce little red or pink colored fruits which are about 1/2-inch long. But wow, they are probably the sweetest fruits you'll ever taste! They're as sweet as candy. So, even though the fruits are tiny, they are fun to eat and very tasty.
@@hamsterama thank you:)
@@nycgirl8396 You're welcome! Mammilaria are my favorite cacti, because the tiny fruits are so yummy! Oh, and my suggestion is, when you buy cactus, buy them in pairs of the same species. That way, they will cross-pollinate and produce fruit. I live in Ohio, and I keep all my cacti outside on the patio, as long as temperatures are above freezing. Bees love cactus flowers, so they do the work of pollinating the flowers.
@@hamsterama interesting..well, I live in Germany and all my plants are inside (I'm living in an apartment) so sadly the idea with the cross-pollination doesn't work that good for me ☹️ But I'll keep trying 😄
anna your plants are so beautiful if you mind, pleace can you send me some cactus seeds because in my country cactus plants are very expensive I really love them but I have no money to buy them.Thats why I;m asking you to help 😞😞😞
Dear Anna! Would you be so kind share some seeds with me? I am from Germany. Thanks
Hi and thank you for watching. ☺️I am in the process of collecting and sorting my seeds right now. Stay tuned for when I announce when and how I will give them away to subscribers. Stay tuned. Cheers from USA 🇺🇸 to Germany 🇩🇪! ☕️☕️
There are some kind s cactus fruits are edible. 😄
But don't risk to try the unknown ones.
M
May I have some of your seeds 😭🙏🏼
I’ve been wanting to buy cactus but doesn’t have money :(((
Are you seriously giving away some of your seeds? I would love to receive some! I will send you a message privately. Thanks!
Yes, now that I have harvested most of them, I’m just cleaning everything and will do a subscriber giveaway soon. 😃
Hi, would you be interested, in selling me some of your cacti seeds? I have bought so many from Ebay, just to be scammed..lol lesson learned, but I'm trying to grow a huge variety, so me & my daughters can enjoy the minor upkeep...
Thanks
Hi! I am not selling my seeds at the moment. But thank you for expressing your interest and for watching. I will be doing a subscriber seeds giveaway so stay tuned. 🙂☕️
@@CactusCaffeine I'm a newby to your channel , I love how you explain everything... I will keep a eye out, for your giveaway..
...
But I'm also very happy to pay :)
Im wondering why I've never seen a seed pod. Because we EAT them 😭 "tuna" we call them "tunas" 🤭💆🤷🏽♀️
👍🏼 delicious. 😋
