Oh my! All those cacti and this guy!! I even can't tell who is cuter
ANOTHER WONDERFUL AND EDUCATIONAL EPISODE THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I used to live in Tucson and I miss my walks in the desert. Life was so simple then, 70's and 80's. Before the Internet made things all complicated.😢
What a collection!very informative,beautiful cacti and he is gorgeous,🥰.Thanks for sharing this,Summer
Totally agree!! 😄
A great collection of Cereus cacti. Kudos to Michiel for his conservation efforts.
Hello, I just saw this video. I have been growing cactus for about 54 years.and my first plant was a southeastern hardy prickly pear and I love opuntias, and chollas, and am a cactus lover. I really enjoyed your tour. One day I hope to get to the southwest and see cactus in their natural habitat. And Hank you for protecting these amazing plants...
I talked to the guy from Prickly Prospects at a plant sale at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix. This guy has some really cool stuff. If you want cacti that are uncommon in cultivation, this is the place to go😊
SRO....much ❤❤❤ for sharing more videos on cacti. Love it.
Peace from The BX.
Wow, wonderful video, thanks for sharing
definitely my favorite episode!!!!!
I just love the prickly pear because it grows outside here in NC in ground. I don't have to dig it up and put it in a pot to bring indoors in the winter.
Thank you for bringing this informative content 💚🌵SIMPLY WOW
Incredible
Wonderful nursery, great video, thanks so much for sharing!!👍😍🌵🌵
My favorite is, All of the above ;)
Absolutely
Another excellent tour…such wonderful info…really love the pereskia family…saw his presentation to the CSSA and it was so informative…thank you!

I absolutely loved this episode! Absolutely! 😂❤

your work is incredible. the collection is amazing! and I admire their knowledge and their enthusiasm! you have a new fan! (in Germany)
It's amazing plant bro😊 stay connected with us
Super interesting. Great video.
Wow😮😮😮😮
There was a cactus I saw but you didn't talk about it, which looked like the cactus I 'inherited'. It had the name Cleistocactus, so I searched for that name and found that my cactus probably is a Cleistocactus strausii.
Mine is a cutting from a very large one, too large to take with me after my mother died. My mother had that cactus 'forever', maybe even before I was born (I'm 67 y.o. now). As far as I know the large cactus went to a 'plant asylum'.
Feel free to email a picture!
ur in tuscan i really hope u went to mesa gardens. that nursery is on a different level.
I'd love for you to take a tour of Groovy Plants Ranch in Marango, Ohio. I think you'd love it!
I'd love to live your life, climbing mountains to get to the tiniest little flower. Playing Zelda on switch, you can cook all the different flowers and herbs to make elixirs. Going camping, need to sleep under the stars. Yeah ☺️.
Very informative! I never realized these rare plants were being poached and smuggled. The loss of these plants from their natural habitat is sad, especially considering some had lived for so many years undisturbed.
11:01 Shout out to fellow copiapoa haseltoniana growers worldwide! ✊🌵🌐
Thank you for sharing this information!!!❤
Do you know of any resources that can help people identify endangered succulents in their private collections?
I am concerned that I may have some endangered succulents that I was unaware of, and I would like to surrender them if necessary.
If such a thing has not yet been developed, what can I do to help develop such a resource?
I’m sure a lot of people who did not know about the black market when they acquired something, but now know would want to help preserve nature for the sake of the environment. Please feel free to contact me to discuss this more as I’m seriously willing to help out with this.
I love the Video!
Correct, posting corrections in a different comment.
Hi, big fan of your channels! Would be great if you could add a list of the plant name captions (where present) to your video descriptions :)
I hope Brazil gets serious conservation tactics.
45:21 i had no idea about the cultivation of Brachycereus nesioticus i wonder if its the same with Haageocereus versicolor since they look similar. might even be mislabeled as well
Does someone know the blue cactus’ name in 49:39?
Pilosocereus pachycladus.
I don't own any house plants. My career has nothing to do with plants. Still I could just watch these videos or just let it run and listen to it all day.
What an awesome episode! You could spend hours and hours in each one of those rows just looking at all the variation and differences between the sheer variety he has!
I would love to know more about the labeling and database systems involved in conservation work if you're ever doing any episodes focusing on what is invovled specifically in conservation work vs collections that are involved in conservation work. (Though no complaints either way as I absolutely adore everything you put out!)
I have a small cactus greenhouse in the Midwest. I got into it excited, because they are fascinating, seemed low maintenance, and generally inexpensive. But cacti are hands down the most difficult thing I’ve tried growing.
I think there is just too little sun seasonally in the Midwest for cacti to really thrive. You must winter over with heavily supplemented light. Yes, you can make it work, but they are prone to many problems. For example, they are a huge pest magnet. If I do not treat them weekly with some sort of insect control, indoors or out, we are ravaged by mealy bugs, scale, hordes of ants, and even grasshoppers (which will eat cacti like a snickers bar).
I adore cactuses. But I will not be replacing the specimens that have died in my collection. It’s just too much maintenance for my taste to keep them going.
The Huntington Botanical Gardens in Pasadena, CA has a truly stupendous cactus collection
Chollas are my favorite cacti. I have never seen so many cacti under one roof. I can attest to the needles on the cholla. They have a sheath and are barbed on the end. My knee made the acquaintance of a Christmas cholla. I didn't feel anything at all when it punctured my knee. So I walked back to the house, got out some pliers and it took some pressure to pull it out. My skin tented. There is a thought that the needle and/or sheath has a toxin that is transferred into the skin that numbs that area and some people get reactions from it as well. I've also been stabbed by a lechuguilla agave and my leg was numbed and I couldn't walk on it the next day. Interesting things to learn when you live in the desert. Inside Big Bend National Park which is just a few miles to the entrance, there is supposed to be a single location of cholla species. It's beautiful. It looks like a silver teddy bear but I wouldn't hug it for any reason.
Thanks so much for the video! It is always a pleasure learning from the wealth of knowledge he has. Michiel is one of the kindest and most patient people in the trade. It’s easy to spend hours chatting and seeing all that he has. I had the privilege of touring his nursery the day before your filming and got to see the progression of growth from that Discocactus he mentioned, as well as the smell it before opening. I became more interested in the cause he is focused on from the time spent with him. I hope to see his business flourish and for his efforts to be fruitful!
My favorite was Pereskiopsis porteri, looks like carrots growing out of it. xD
Y LOVE the Queen of the night cactus wish I had one
So many varieties. But was mostly cacti. Hopefully see another one with succulents. And more on Euphorbia too.
Put googly eyes on it 👀 💚
a fantastic collection and finally without hybrids. Thank you for showing me. just fantastic!
Incrível parabens pelo trabalho. Brasil
no doubt, the man has something to say, it's written in the material! it is a pleasure to follow him!!! one of the nicest excursions I've followed from them.
thats not huernia pillansii, its huernia x distincta.
Thanks! Sometimes I don't reprint tags for stock plants right away when I update the actual database. In this case I believe you're referring to a plant that's recorded as Huernia hybrid internally, but is still physically labeled as H. pillansii. I appreciate your comment!
Thank you so much for this cactus and succulent nursery video 🙏
for plants around the worlda and ESPECIALLY desert species of plants, from Atacama chihuahua, Moiave, Sonoran and Chihuahuan deserts theiir ecological roles in thier communities of sympatric and non nativee, invasives etc Lichens, , fungi, ctiee also
Awesome cacty collection❤
Thank You Michiel Pillet and Summer. A wonderful visit! I learned a few things. It's why I'm a viewer and love the visits and fieldtrips ❤️
I'm from Costa Rica, I didn't even know we had cacti that grew naturally here xD love it!
Loads, and lots of them endangered unfortunately!
Your country also have amazing deepsea ecosystem! Scientists recently found new nursery (brooding place) of octopuses and sea skate!
The botanical kingdom is my refuge.
Opened an account going to order
lol, bad seeds , even Sinaloa cartel
Awesome plants man you have great knowledge, I’ve never heard of cactus being dioecious Love the Galapagos and Caribbean cacti, that lovely mystery cacti reminds me of a Espostoa maybe mirabilis mutant but not sure probably a inergenus hybrid with it a espostoa they can cross with other genus and there are some in northern Peru, flowers should help ID that one. Keep on growing dude
Thanks! That's definitely a possibility! The possible hybrids in that region are crazy.
@@michielpillet that’s true, keep us updated I would love to see a flower on that one and other cacti you have there.
Thanks! ❤️
Amazing content
These plants need to go full on Orca on humans
Or Humans need to pressure relevant authorities to go full attack dog on poaching ( if they are not already ). We do after all have the capacity to be the cure as opposed to the disease.
I like it!
I'm just wondering how Michiel ended up in Arizona. I'm Belgian myself😊
And I live just 20 minutes by car where the European cactus convention is held.
Greetings from a Belgian cactus lover.
Hi there! I grew up near Tienen and went to the ELK a couple times as a teenager. I moved to the United States at 18 for college (in Montana). In 2016 I started graduate school in Arizona, and I've lived here since. I am still a member of Succulenta!
Really appreciate learning from other people who are passionate about plants. I have a cactus corner at home, with a few common cactus, but in the summer I bought lots of different seeds for different cactus, I managed(to my own surprise) to get a few to germinate. I would love to learn why they have to be kept in darkness to germinate. I’m hoping to make a terrarium bowl with my cactus seedlings in a few years times. Thanks Summer
I like when Summer finds out why species look like that through her theories.
Your field trips are some of the best content on your channel. Showcasing other growers and experts just strengthens my interest in plants. Thanks for the virtual visit.
