    Growmore is out here...a partner used to do their Industrial RE deals. I like Brent's application that includes minors, with a slight increase in sulfur & calcium. I also learned a couple things here. I use a mild liquid broad range (i combine it together myself) fertilizer and have had success, but after watching this video, I might even back off more. Now much is needed ! Brent has an AMAZING collection here. He HAS to be well organized & a workaholic to run & keep track of all of this !! Hope to visit him sometime--I live in AZ. Very nicely complied & produced video's !! Thx !

    Excellent part two, Ana. Very informative. That spineless Opuntia is awesome, and I don’t say that very often when it comes to those plants as you know haha. Well done to your son for knowing why cacti have spines, awesome 😊 Looking forward to part three. Thank you for sharing with us as always. Have a wonderful day and upcoming weekend from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌺🌸🌼🏜

    That opuntia! I spent last weekend removing glochids from my arm after accidentally brushing against my beavertail opuntia so i know exactly how you felt when you saw him touching the spineless one. 😱😱😱 I will have to watch this video again because there was just so much information - thank you to you and Brent for sharing your time and talent. Also: your son! So smart! 😍

    • @CactusCaffeine

      Lol! The way he handled that Opuntia, I almost screamed. 😱 I use gloves and tongs on mine because like what you experienced, they are mean clingy little hairs. So annoying. 😆 Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words. 😃 🌵

    You should try to use a night mister even for 1 minute each night and it would make the pollen not usable so there would be no cross pollination amongst your plants.

    • @CactusCaffeine
      @CactusCaffeine  2 роки тому

      He does it same day. He washes off the cactus body, not the roots. The idea is for the fertilizer to be in the soil and not on the plant which he said may cause burning of the cactus body. 🙂☕️🌵

    I bought a cactus 3 days ago. it was bone dry in the pot. When should I water it? I won't repot it until springtime because I know its probably dormant now.

    • @CactusCaffeine
      @CactusCaffeine  2 роки тому +1

      It depends on your climate and where you are keeping it. If it is indoors and warm, you can give it a little water.

  • @countrygirl4422
    @countrygirl4422 2 роки тому +1

    I live in Wisconsin I put my cactus out for the summer (June - September). When it rains they get watered in the winter they get very little water. They've been growing like weeds but no flowers now I can try to get them to bloom.

    If I keep my plants in the house , will they go dormant? I keep them in same condition.

    • @CactusCaffeine
      @CactusCaffeine  3 роки тому

      They might not. They need to experience the change in temperature, shorter length of daylight and get less watering for them to go dormant. Unless you can simulate the outside conditions indoors. 🙂

      @@CactusCaffeine I live on the sixth floor of a high rise, so my winter temperatures never go below 65F. What I do is to keep my plant area blocked off with blackout curtains and set the timer on my plant lights to come on at sunrise and go off at sunset. Some plants go dormant and some don't.

    @kayenicholls5473 3 роки тому +1

    I have a question about the fertiliser application can you apply it just on the soil and then just put a small amount of water on the soil after so it goes down to the roots my echinopsis are just seedling a year old do I need to fertiliser them.

    • @CactusCaffeine
      @CactusCaffeine  3 роки тому

      Yes, it is good to apply it just in the soil. I start fertilizing my seedlings once they are out of the bag, around 4-5 months old. It depends if they are big enough.

    • @kayenicholls5473
      @kayenicholls5473 3 роки тому +1

      Thanks for the response and information about the fertiliser application I will start and use it on the big one and see what they do a good few of them are as thick as my thumb so they should be able to come along and grow as we are half way through winter but these are in the house and under grow light keeping them around 25 degrees in the tent 🎪 thanks to the kaye Nicholls

    I fertilize mine heavy and keep wet during the hot weather. They need root insect treatment. I have not had the problems suggested here. One should make their soil like the cactus grow in here in Texas in the line stone crevices. Too much commercial soil.
