Treating Spider Mites On Our Cactus
Welcome back everyone! In this video we show you how we treat our plants when we have an outbreak of spider mites. Spider mites are small mite like insects and come in a variety of different species. While many will do no harm to your plants, a few species can cause serious damage to your plants. We highlighted some photos in the video to hopefully help you identify them yourselves. We do not own the pictures and full credit for them go to their respective owners (links to the photos can be found below). Always be careful when dealing with pesticides as they can be harmful to humans if not handled correctly. Keep out of reach of small children and pets and always wear PPE (personal protec...

    Thank you so much for your video! I have been searching and searching and so many keep their cactus seedlings in the baggie. I felt this was not the best information as so many of mine got mold fungus and died. I thought i did something wrong, but now i am having success with giving them air after germination! Thanks again, I am so very grateful for your information!!

    Very enjoyable video. 😀👍 Have you tried exposing those pencil-like Mammillaria albiflora to more sunlight? Turbinicarpus lophophoroides like richer clay soils, perhaps your substrate is too lean for them. T. alonsoi like some humus in soil, and they prefer shaded position, especialy when young. Later on (when they reach approx. 1 cm in diameter) they can be gradually exposed to more sun. Best regards, Nino

    @jerryribyat1481 Месяц назад

    Most root rot can be prevented if you use plastic pots and drill more drain holes all around the bottom of the pot instead of one little teeny drain hole at the bottom soil aeration is the most important part of preventing root rot also filling the pot with soil all the way to the top is incorrect there should be at least an inch or inch and a half of finish grade in the pot

I have a question pls,,, you said u use JUST pumice & sand for ur mix?? That looked like very fine sand. Won't it just fall through the pumice to the bottom??? Also, did I hear right, did u say you just were using Beach sand??? All I can really find is All-purpose sand or course silica sand??!! But I Also found a small grained akadama! I wonder how that would work?? Isn't that how the folks on the other side of the world use?? These are my questions!!! I would sooooo appreciate if u would get back to me, hopefully soon so I can do this with the Lentas!!! I sure do love y'all's videos!!! I especially love the Father-Son team!! Y'all make a great team!!! Thank you so much. Sincerely, Anita 🌵

    • @cactusduty5241
      @cactusduty5241 5 месяцев назад

      Hello, we would be happy to help. We use sandy soil primarily from the Mojave desert and pumice. We do not use beach sand and primarily use sandy soil. This sandy soil has a mix of sand soil and might have some clay. Both all purpose sand and silica sand will work but I would guess silica sand would work better. Akadama is useful but expensive so we don’t use it. Turface is a good alternative and is cheaper and so is floordri, so long as it’s high fire diatomaceous earth. You can find floordri in auto parts stores because it is used to suck up oil but works well with plants. Just make sure your soil doesn’t grow mold! Best of luck and hope you enjoy the lentas!

    Remember Final Fantasy 8, and the main weakness against the GF boss, Cactuar, was water based attacks? I didnt understand at the time, but as i got into cacti collecting, ive learned FULL WELL the dangers of water to drout resistant plants. Luckily we're still in the very early weeks of May, and the last time i watered my cacti was 2½ weeks ago... but they got caught in a bit of a downpour yesterday. My phone lied to me and said no rain until 8pm, so i worked until 7pm, but then my wife told me it was raining pretty good at the house around 5pm. So unfortunately they all got a bit wet, but on the plus side theyre all awake from their dormancy and growing, so they should be fine, _especially if i get some hot and sunny days soon._ Today is sunny and warm, but my phone still has rain until Sunday. Hopefully its wrong and i get more sunny days. Im gonna be getting a small greenhouse soon, and i cant wait!!! Happy growing, and keep 'em dry until youre ready!!!
