FANTASTIC update on all of your beautiful Cacti and Succulents, all your plants are looking absolutely amazing and so wonderful to see buds and blooms on some of them already, Spring really is just around the corner YIPPPEEE! I have some buds forming on one of my Matucana's and Gymno mihanovichii and Frailea but my others are still snoozing haha
Very excited indeed for the coming days. That is great that you have buds forming as early as now. I hope you make a video of your cactus in buds. It makes me happy watching blooming/budding videos of yours as you have so many!
Awesome update on your plants, Ana. Thank you for the mention 😊 I’ve got quite a few now starting to wake up, new growth, buds and of course blooms, will be time for some of them to get their first bit of water soon since September. Always nice to see buds forming this time of year, means spring is just around the corner 😁 Thank you for sharing with us as always Ana, from Edith & myself, have a wonderful day 🌵☀️🌼🌺🌸🏜
Love update videos. ❤️ We get to see the growth and development of the plants as seasons progress. I saw some of my favourite plants in your collection. Excited to see blooms soon especially the super blooms! 😍🌸🌺🌼❤️
No water since September?! Wow. It is very interesting how different our climates are and the different care we give them. I didn’t stop watering mine until early November but January I had to water some of them again. Exciting days ahead indeed. Everyday I see something new growing on my cacti.
Edith, I hope I get good blooms this year. I am trying a new fertilizer. We’ll see how it goes. Wala daw kasing tomato fertilizer sa ibang countries. 😉
Hi Anna,again thanks for the update.Always enjoying your video🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️And cheers,for here we are,the time of there year we all revel and look forward to,SPRING!Being in Central California(where im temporarily based) is such a treat for my cactus.Late February was the first true super bloom for my mammillaria Stampferi..They were gorgeous Anna..Now i have a lot ready to pop,my neoporteria Comaesensis(these species are now my favorites) have 6 buds and will be ripe to bloom anytime now,2 of my fuzzy navel,rainbow burst,rebutias and lots more of mammillarias(perplexa,nervaisensis retiriana,giselae,bocasana,spinossissima,aranacea and 2 unknowns)...For some reason,non from the notocactus .Regarding grafting,i am with you on that,so last fall i have 3 that i got from my grocers 2 heliosas and an unknown.So what i did with one unknown grafting,i potted soil held by a cut burlap at the base of the cactus(top of the dragonfruit) and rooted it.Last week,i cut it from the graft since it has grown roots by itself and now i saw that she is budding too.I already had given their full watering with fertilizer around mid February because its been like spring time temp Upper 60’s-70’s daytime and upper 40’s nighttime...I am very excited,i narrowed down my focus on cacti only and some desert heat tolerant plants like agaves etc for i feel like the feeling is mutual and one day they all are going to go back to Joshua Tree where my actual residence is.Good luck to all of us and wish everyone a flourishing cactus blooms to enjoy🌵🌵🌵
In Michigan...it's Oct... getting cooler at night (50d).._so my Cacti collection is indoors now. Thanks for your help and tips for the care of these plants ❤️☺️
I believe the white ball of a cactus with the orange buds in the center is parodia heaslbergi. Not sure about the grafted rebutia. But I believe you are right about " Rebutia". Great video Ana!!! Have a few things starting to bloom also!!! My Euphorbia anoplia is also starting to bloom. Hooray for spring!!!! From Morris park in the Ozarks, out to Las Vegas, have a great week ahead!!! Peace,Love,Plants!!!!✌💖🌵🌸🌿🌷🌳💐🌲🌹🌴🌻
Thanks for the Parodia ID. Many are giving that name so I think that is correct. I will know for certain when the flowers open. Yaye for warmer weather. Although today, it suddenly rained hail here. Strange weather.
I’m in Las Cruces, NM and have been slowly moving my collection back outside the past couple days because there aren’t any freezes on the radar. My claret cup was outside all winter and it is also getting a bunch of buds. I’m pretty excited for that one to flower, it puts on an impressive show every year.
Wonderful! I am so excited to have such a young viewer. I'm glad you are giving cactus and succulents a try, Ewan. Good luck and I hope you will keep in touch. 😊
Yay! Loved the video! Bought a White stripped century plant yesterday. It is so beautiful. Need to start studying about the cacti family. ❤️ your passion!
All my cacti are growing or flowering, my M. mystax, M. Hahniana, M. spinosissima, P. ottonis, P. lenninghausii, O. ficus - indica, M.duoformis f/ tenango del valle are all blooming thanks to your advice on care and various others are growing like weeds, you are amazing, thanks for the amazing videos.
I have a very small cacti collection. I love your videos. I learn everything about cacti from you. I live in South Florida and it’s impossible to grow them outside due to our heavy rainfalls. But in a little enclosed room outside my house the pay 😩are doing great. Thanks to your videos. 🪴🌿🌵
Hi Anna! You should really try to make graftings. It's very fun and exciting to wait. I just started last november and now I have almost 10 different variety of grafted cacti. They are all growing well especially now that the weather here in the Philippines is a bit dry and windy which is also good to make more graftings. Looking forward to your grafting adventures, cheers!
I will try that too. Any way to propagate these successfully especially that liliputana that you ID'd. I know those dragon fruit rootstock will not last under my climate. 😉
These type of videos are always my favorite. The Eriosyce looks so nice! I'm also trying to get one , but all nurseries are closed here, so I have to wait ;) I live in the Netherlands and two of my three Rebutias/Sulcorebutia's are now budding, so they received their first watering. Same counts for my Parodia scopa.
I LOVE seeing your collection so much. Thank you Ana! I can't wait to see your grafting experiments if you decide to show any. I am in San Diego CA in case you forgot but I am definitely seeing something happen. I see buds and I see some new growth that I think are buds. haha! I don't know the difference sometimes as I'm still learning.
You have a most beautiful collection🌵 I’m a newbie to cactus here in Maryland. The only thing that stays outside are my collection of chicks and hens, some have purple tips so pretty but they do well. I only have one true cactus inside that’s my balloon cactus but I do want to do more my wish list is Golden barrel but I have some aloes and succulents. Love your outside gardens. And I hate those fake flowers they stick on them in the store!
In Delaware I have most of mine I side. Some are awake and growing, I have flower buds as well. Others are not showing signs of life yet. My outside bed is still covered. I will uncover it at the end of the month and do a video showing how it survives
Brilliant update, amazing Buds forming and great tour! That round fluffy cactus with the pinkish buds forming in the apex that you weren't sure about... I think that's a Parodia haselbergii. Usually having pink, or orangeish flowers, or maybe different colour flowers if it's a cultivar. It will be great to see this when it flowers! Think they have one listed on Planet Desert, they come under different names still, but the accepted name (shown on Llifle) says Parodia haselbergii. I'm after the subspecies 'graessneri' which is why I recognised your cactus 😆 Hopefully it's the right ID for you.
You say some of your cactus are still asleep. How do you know? Sometimes, I can't tell if mine are dead or alive :) Thank you again for sharing your wonderful collection!
I already repoted my cactus to new pots and already watered them with supertrive to the new pots only one died i got like 5 new plants their doing good im traying to get a big big cactus collection like your i live at Hartford Ct its spring now but it get real cold in winter USA i dont water none of my cactus in the winter had an aloe flower and i bout 2 cactus with real blooms i dont now most of their names fertilized all my inside tropical and regular and rare plants doing good
Grafting will make a cactus grow faster than when it is growing in its own roots. Also, grafting reduces the possibility of rot since the one that will rot first is the rootstock (base). The main cactus is protected. 🙂 Thank you for your kind words!
Your videos are one of the reasons I love cactus so much now! I live in Alberta Canada so I don’t have as much luck finding the unique ones but I keep trying. Gorgeous collection.
I love your videos! I’d be interested in seeing a video about cacti that don’t have spines. I love cacti but I’m a little scared of the ones that bite!
in Iceland I have to keep mine indoors where it's quite warm. I have only a few cacti and it's my first time putting them into dormancy. I moved them close to a colder window and stopped watering. They are still dormant but I started giving them some water because they look shrivelled. I'm a bit worried haha 😅
Thank you for sharing your experience. A little water (just a little) shouldn’t hurt them if they are indoors. Just try not to soak the roots. Good luck and looking forward to spring! 😃🌵🌸
Last year was the first time that it flowered for me. I hope this year, it will again. It is not as prolific bloomer as my other Parodia. Maybe I am doing something wrong. 🤔
@@CactusCaffeine does it shrivel A lot late winter? And does it grow a bit different? Mine looks a tad shrivelled, but it's firm. Like it is growing that way.
Compared to spineless cacti, usually those with more spines are able to handle sun as the spines shield the cactus. But be careful and acclimate them first slowly to full sun. However, I have some Lobivia that although has spines, are more sensitive to sun burn, and I also have (almost) spineless cacti that can handle full sun very well (Opuntia ficus indica and Totem pole cactus). Bottomline is, get to know your cactus is best. 😉
Thanks for the video on winter cacti😌🤲🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟What is the lowest temperature you get in winter? We get -8℃ / 17.6°F and my cacti have bubble-wrap cover and haworthias need to come inside at that temperature
They are in a bright shade. I water only when the soil is completely dry. But since our temperature for the past 2 weeks dipped down to the 40’s, I have not been watering them. I’m waiting until our temps go higher again. 🙂
I need to share some superrr hardy dragon fruit varieties with you... ones that naturally have a sunscreen on them... also cold hardier than others. ;)
Taga Metro Manila po, no buds but lots of new offsets ❤ Di ko po alam kung paano magpaflower 😅 I'm giving it fertilizer similar to the tomato fertilizer but I get offsets not flower buds 😅
My Dwarf Milliis are flowering all year long, other plants of mine that has flowers are my mammillarias and kalanchoes (the one I sent to you on insta udner the name "Ajesur"). My gymnocalyciums are also flowering but it does not fully open. Maybe I am doing something wrong? Thanks for this video! :D #Philippines
Gymnos usually open fully with hot temperatures. Mine opens at around 3pm here (hottest part of the day) even though the sun is not directly hitting it. Try moving yours to a hot spot without burning it. 🙂
@@CactusCaffeine Yes thank you! :D Actually, my current area where I put my plants causes the other cacti to burn a little and some of them got a much fuzzier coating of spines or thorns (specially my Mammillarias). :D thanks for the tip. :D I usually put my gymnos under the rack.

Oh, that is exciting news! The Claret cup is a spectacular bloomer. I wish you lots and lots of flowers. 😃🌸🌸🌸🌵
Hi Ana,
I love your cactus collection. I am just starting out with mine as I'm only 10 and live in Ireland. Thanks for teaching me so much. From Ewan
Wonderful! I am so excited to have such a young viewer. I'm glad you are giving cactus and succulents a try, Ewan. Good luck and I hope you will keep in touch. 😊
Hello Anna,I love your collections of cactus and succulents,beautiful...
So nice of you, thanks so much!
Yay! Loved the video! Bought a White stripped century plant yesterday. It is so beautiful. Need to start studying about the cacti family. ❤️ your passion!
Always exciting to find new plants. 😊 Good luck and I hope you give cactus a try as well.

Sounds great and so exciting! So many early flowers from your collection. Great job! 😊😉
The white one on the graft is a Blossfeldia liliputana I believe. Have been looking into getting one.
Yes, it is liliputana
Omg! If I knew, I would have bought all that they had at that nursery! It was only $5 each. 🤦🏻♀️🙆🏻♀️😄 Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection!
6:32 is a “blossfeldia liliputana”
Thank you so much! I didn’t realize that I found a gem. I should have gotten at least 2.
Nice job. Thanks for your time to share.
Thanks Bill! 😃

Love the totem cactus. So beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow...you got those grafted cacti so cheap and they look really nice and unsual!
Thank you for this video, I love your collection. It is so beautiful 🥰
Thank you. ☺️
You can always root the grafted ones 🤗 or at least some babies
I will try that too. Any way to propagate these successfully especially that liliputana that you ID'd. I know those dragon fruit rootstock will not last under my climate. 😉

Hi Ms Ana. Love the cactus with flower at the start of your video. My gymnos are starting to have buds too. Mabuhay from the Philippines.
Yaye! Congratulations on your buds. 😃🌸
In Delaware I have most of mine I side. Some are awake and growing, I have flower buds as well. Others are not showing signs of life yet. My outside bed is still covered. I will uncover it at the end of the month and do a video showing how it survives
I gave in early and uncovered my outside garden. The video is posted. I just couldn’t resist!
The grafted smooth one looks like Blossfeldia liliputana, I'm not completly sure but it could be
Oh thank you! I will check that name online. 😃👍🏼

Beautiful flowers on your cactus and beautiful collection overall. Why do they graft cactus in the first place?

I'm in the Chicago area, my small cactus collection are indoors; I don't see any flower buds just yet.
Good luck! They will come soon. 😉
I love your videos! I’d be interested in seeing a video about cacti that don’t have spines. I love cacti but I’m a little scared of the ones that bite!
lol! At the top of my head, I can think of lophophora, some astrophytum and the totem pole cactus. Thanks for the video topic suggestion. 🙂😉

The grafted cactus is a Blossfeldia liliputana, one of the smallest cacti and very slow on its own roots, never get to that size.
Oh my goodness, thank you! Had I known, I should have gotten more of this at that nursery. 😃 That explains why this is grafted.
@@CactusCaffeine I wish I could find it here in the Bay Area. Lovely channel you got here :)
Thank you. I pray that I will be successful grafting them so I can make more pups!
Love the collection! What is your experience with the balloon cactus?
Last year was the first time that it flowered for me. I hope this year, it will again. It is not as prolific bloomer as my other Parodia. Maybe I am doing something wrong. 🤔
@@CactusCaffeine does it shrivel A lot late winter? And does it grow a bit different? Mine looks a tad shrivelled, but it's firm. Like it is growing that way.
Yes mine shriveled in winter. That is normal. In spring as you water it, it will slowly plump back up. 🙂
Got no buds but all plants are looking healthy!! I'm in SE England :)
I hope you see some buds soon. Spring is almost here. 😃
Hey Anna great content as always! just a beginner question here,
Are all cactus with spines able to tolerate full sunlight?
Compared to spineless cacti, usually those with more spines are able to handle sun as the spines shield the cactus. But be careful and acclimate them first slowly to full sun. However, I have some Lobivia that although has spines, are more sensitive to sun burn, and I also have (almost) spineless cacti that can handle full sun very well (Opuntia ficus indica and Totem pole cactus).

Ana, that’s a Blossfeldia liliputana. It’s the world’s smallest cacti!
Omg! Had I known, I should have bought all they had in that nursery. It was only $5 each. 😱😊 Thank you!
YAY YAY A NEW VIDEO 😄😄
Thanks for the video on winter cacti😌🤲🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟What is the lowest temperature you get in winter? We get -8℃ / 17.6°F and my cacti have bubble-wrap cover and haworthias need to come inside at that temperature
Hi that cactus you weren't sure of the name it is a scarlet crown/ nonocactus haselbergii. It's the kinda fuzzy white color with orange tip blooms
Hello from Arizona☺🌵🌞🌼☕
Do you root your totem pole in shade or with sunlight? And how often you water them while rooting?
They are in a bright shade. I water only when the soil is completely dry. But since our temperature for the past 2 weeks dipped down to the 40’s, I have not been watering them. I’m waiting until our temps go higher again. 🙂
@@CactusCaffeine mahalo, do you drench it or just enough for the soil to be moist?
Just a little moisture on the soil. Only give more water when you are positive that roots have developed.
Great video !! :)
Glad you liked it!! Thanks for the visit.
Love your vedeos
My cacti in Philadelphia are a waking up
I love it
Thank you! ☺️
Have you any living stones?
I have a couple of pots but I don’t really collect them because they don’t do well in the extreme summer heat that we have here.
Hmmm... I live in Oklahoma and just got one, it gets very hot here with high humidity, so I hope it does well because I find it very interesting
Potting mix plz?
I need to share some superrr hardy dragon fruit varieties with you... ones that naturally have a sunscreen on them... also cold hardier than others. ;)
Taga Metro Manila po, no buds but lots of new offsets ❤ Di ko po alam kung paano magpaflower 😅 I'm giving it fertilizer similar to the tomato fertilizer but I get offsets not flower buds 😅
Best of luck! Dadating din yung bulaklak. 😉
My Dwarf Milliis are flowering all year long, other plants of mine that has flowers are my mammillarias and kalanchoes (the one I sent to you on insta udner the name "Ajesur"). My gymnocalyciums are also flowering but it does not fully open. Maybe I am doing something wrong? Thanks for this video! :D #Philippines
Gymnos usually open fully with hot temperatures. Mine opens at around 3pm here (hottest part of the day) even though the sun is not directly hitting it. Try moving yours to a hot spot without burning it. 🙂

How can I find you, on Facebook
Same name- Cactus Caffeine on Facebook. 🙂
2nd!
Why do you have to cover your cactus? I thought cactus like sun and heat.
Too much direct sun can burn them as well. Especially the desert sunlight. So I protect them with a shade cloth.
@@CactusCaffeine thank you. I am learning a lot from your videos!
