    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 !

      @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. 🙂☕️🌵

      Yes, he uses a mother stock plant for propagation for selling. Only the offsets will have exactly the same flower as the mother plant. Seed grown cacti May exhibit different characteristics than the parent plant.

    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.

    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

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

    • @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. 🙂

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.
