Thanks for sharing Anna! The heat is ridiculous this year! You’re doing a great job of covering and getting them thru the heatwave! Come on 90’s! lol. Vegas!
Hey Ana !! here in Portugal temperatures reach 42 Cº for 3 days in a row, it was brutal 🤒🤯 i didn't water any of my cactus, i just spray them on the morning and on the night !! Thanks for sharing this video. 😎🤙
Wow, Ana, I'm amazed. I've been wondering when it would be safe to put my cacti and succulents on the balcony, but I think I'll just keep them inside and grow them under lights. The things we do for our beloved collections! Hang in there, girl! ❤❤
Here in Phoenix is just as bad as Vegas. The nights are brutal with not going below 90º. My cactus can’t breathe. I go out at sunset and mist everything❤ I am very careful about actually trying to water because I have lost several to rot. I wish this would end soon. No rain at all this summer either. Ugh!
Ugh! 😣 No cooling down window, not even late at night. Hang in there. This heat shall eventually pass. In the meantime, stay cool indoors. Praying for rain ☔️.
Sorry guys, we're hogging all of the Arizona rain down here in Tucson. I'd gladly give you some of ours if I could, because my yard has flooded three times this monsoon! Zk
Too hot! 🥵 I'd dry out like a Lithop in that heat haha. Glad to see most of your plants are fine. Thank you for sharing with us as always, Ana. Have a wonderful day and week from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜
I mist myself while I water outside. But I can't last longer than 10 minutes, then I have to cool myself down indoors again. It never got this hot in the Philippines! 🥵 Oh well, maybe 2 more months of this and then Fall weather starts.
I hope that's an iced coffee! LOL We're abnormally hot down here in Tucson too, but usually 5-10 degrees lower than you up there in Vegas right now. The other difference is we're in the middle of a pretty intense monsoon season where humidity stays quite high (for the desert) and we have been getting fairly frequent really strong rains with powerful microburst winds. Rains have provided enough water for everything except those sheltered under my patio. My columnar cactus have always been in direct full exposure sun; they are OK water wise but some are showing signs of stress from the sustained higher than normal heat (I think). Have had sporadic flowers (2-this morning) but many other flower buds have withered and died before opening. For my amazing insight into the blatantly obvious, Saguaro, Ocotillo, and prickly pear (native) are thriving right now! Thanks for posting; I always learn something new from your videos. Hang in there with all of this heat... Zk
Wow that is so hot. I thought it was hot in FL. I hope most of them pull through. You have put so much work and care for your plants. Thank you for sharing with us.
I live in SW Florida and it’s hot and humid here , my cactus get the afternoon sun till dusk and are growing really well, once a week watering . My Texas nipple cactus has had two fruits so this summer ,usually don’t see any till fall . They are loving the weekly watering and the sun and heat. 😎
The real feel temp are around 105 and high humidity. I've been growing cactus for 11 years , 2018 I started alot from seed , my Texas nipple cactus is 6 years old , it loves this weather. I enjoy your channel and the cinnamon trick works very well , thanks for posting that .
I do something similar in new River Arizona north of Phoenix. I water my cactus during this heat, mostly on the body to cool them off, but I do let a little bit go down around the base. Mine are all in the ground outside, not in pots. I have found that you will lose more by not watering them, then you will lose from watering them. It gets hot here, a little hotter than Vegas. I have found that if I start my young cactus in the yard and direct sunlight in January, by the summer, they will be acclimated and have enough Farina to make it through the summer. I do block the evening sun with rocks or trees. I grow on 1 acre, it's fenced in so the wildlife is at a minimum, but I have a lot of rabbit problems. I grow nopales mostly to feed to the rabbits. Anytime I plan something new I throw the pads on the ground for the rabbits to eat and they will go after the nopales first. I have a 300 foot property line with them planted 1 foot. They are going to be living wall.
Seems now and then we have to fight mother nature to keep what we love. You remind me of myself during the winter here. Working hard to keep the collection!!! Our summer here has been much better than the last two years we are getting rain like we should. And not the excessive heat. But with my new greenhouse roof panels I have experienced a bit of sunburn on some plants that weren't used to the bright sun cause they are much clearer now. But this will help me in the winter on sunny days by allowing more sunshine and warmth. I hope this breaks soon for you and your plants!!! No fun living in hell 🥵 Good luck Ana!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, out to Las Vegas, have a cooler day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🌻🌷🌴💐🌱🍀🌹🌿🌸🌳🪴🌾😃👍
Haha, sure feels like hell outside. Summer is my least favorite season. But I’m glad your summer is better. Gives your plants a longer growing and blooming season.
Hi Ana😌🙌It's unbelievably hot there in Nevada😱🔥☀️It would be incredibly difficult to cool down your yard. It does work a bit to put your cacti pots inside a slightly bigger teracotta pot. That reduces the heat stress on the roots. I hope for some lower temperatures for you Ana🙏
Wow great collection, I'm also in Vegas and lost a few plants to the heat and a couple were damaged, and the succulents I brought inside aren't happy either lol.
I have the polar opposite problem. We have the rainiest, coldest spring and summer in like ever. I’ve lost some plants to rot and cold. We’ve only recently started getting good weather.
@@pimpozzaThat's what I'm wondering too.... its summer here in the northern hemisphere. It's winter in the southern hemisphere. Who the heck is in spring right now?!?! Are you far north, like upper Canada, maybe?
Hang in there! Provide some sun protection over your cactus. But I think So Cali gets cooler nights so plants can recharge well at night. Is that true for where you are?
@@CactusCaffeine yes it is. It’s been getting into the upper 70’s. But we also have extremely high winds here and every time I try to cover something, it just blows off.
Michigan is starting to get cold!! In August??? Its crazzy. Temps droping in the 60s at night. Idk. Im bring my cacti inside by the end of the month!!!
I wonder this all the time about you growers in much hotter climates. Where i live, summers typically average 85ish. Its facing 91 tomorrow, and 86 right now, yet i still find myself having to hide certain plants in the shade!!! I literally just put some of my plants in the shade because they looked a little discolored, like a gymno and ferrocactus, both of which seem to me to be dormant.
I have a handful that get direct sun all day, sun up to sun down. I have many others that get morning sun until around 3 pm when the sun goes behind my house. Then I have some that get morning sun until around 2pm, then its shade time. So any amount of sun stress puzzles me. _It really is about finding a way to keep them all happy, and the work never stops!!!!_
Thanks for sharing Anna! The heat is ridiculous this year! You’re doing a great job of covering and getting them thru the heatwave! Come on 90’s! lol. Vegas!
My heart hurts for you, Ana. You are very strong to keep going. Peace.
Thanks Bill. I’m looking forward to Fall! I have a lot of repotting that I’ve been putting aside until we get a cool down.

Same here in Peoria. I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward to fall like this year. 🥵 🌵

Wow that is so hot. I thought it was hot in FL. I hope most of them pull through. You have put so much work and care for your plants. Thank you for sharing with us.
I can only do so much. I’m counting on the cacti’s resilience to get through this heat. I’m so looking forward to Fall!
Your cacti look beautiful!!

Oh nice! What is your summer temperatures? Sounds like it is comfortable climate for your cactus.
The real feel temp are around 105 and high humidity. I've been growing cactus for 11 years , 2018 I started alot from seed , my Texas nipple cactus is 6 years old , it loves this weather. I enjoy your channel and the cinnamon trick works very well , thanks for posting that .
Wow! You are very knowledgeable in how to care for your lovely, extensive cactus collection. I hope the temps come down soon for you. ❤ 🌵 😮
I hope so too! Thank you.

Omg God bless u for covering them.
It’s too windy where I live for any cloth to stay.
Don’t forget: plastic pots don’t breathe lol.

I hope you catch a break with the temperatures soon. That is brutal to be that hot.
Thanks you. I’m doing the rain dance 💃 🌧️ over here! 😎
I lost some cacti as well. Great job covering up your plants. I need some shade cloth
Sorry to hear that. Yes, shade cloth is a great invention. 😉

Oh, I’m sorry to hear that you lost some plants, too. I just wish we get a cool down soon. I’d be happy if it stays in the 90’s.
@@CactusCaffeine yeah I had a really pretty white candleabra tree cactus that just full on melted in one day, couldn't even save a cutting :(
I have the polar opposite problem. We have the rainiest, coldest spring and summer in like ever. I’ve lost some plants to rot and cold. We’ve only recently started getting good weather.
Which part of the world are you in?

Bless your plant mama heart. Best wishes.
Thank you so much!
We were over there in Vegas just a few days ago for a week...it was HOT..haha just walking around I was worried for the plants.
We’re in the same boat here in Phoenix. The last two summers I’ve seen even my natives like opuntia struggling to survive.
Hang in there! I wish you get monsoon rain soon to cool your plants down.
@@CactusCaffeineThanks, you too.
Blimey Ana 😬 It's barely reached 70f here this month, looks like you've got all the heat. Stay cool 🙂🙂🌵🌵
My echinopsis domino has bloomex 3xs this summer..my 3yr old echinopsis hasnt bloomed yet but produces so many pups!
Im in southern CA where it’s been HOT HOT HOT and my cacti is not doing its best.

It's September 2024..has the temperature dropped?? In Michigan it's 80!! In September!
It has dropped to the high 90’s. To us that is already “cool”. 😉 Our summer is always 105F and above.
I also lost two cactus plan to the heat
Oh… I’m sorry 😞. This happens sometimes no matter how careful we are. We learn and we grow.
@@CactusCaffeine it's okay it happens
Im interested in seeing how you water them, as you water them. Beautiful plants❤
It's not uncommon for temps to reach 130 in Death Valley.
Yikes! That is too brutally hot. I don’t think I can keep my plants alive in that heat.
That's why we call them Cacti
