Cookie's Cacti
США
Добавлен 29 май 2022
All I want to do is scream and shout about my love for cactus and succulents! Instagram wasn't enough so here I am with my cat, Cookie, sharing our plants, touring local gardens and nurseries in Arizona, and more. I am new to making videos so bear with me as I learn to use my camera and figure out what it can and cannot do.

Plant Shopping at the Euphorbia Mecca: Arid Lands Greenhouses Tour | Tucson, Arizona
If you watched my 7 hour video repotting 500+ Astrophyum seedlings, you may recall that I went to a nursery in Tucson in the middle of all the repotting (or maybe you didn't and I don't blame you LOL). Well, that nursery was Arid Lands Greenhouses. I cannot believe the sheer variety of plant genera that Arid Lands carries, many that I've never heard of. Although Arid Lands is probably most well-known for their Euphorbia, the reality is that they have a vast selection of many different types of plants from various cactus, to Haworthia, to Gasteria, various mesembs, Adenium, desert trees, Sansevieria, and many more. Join me as we walk through this succulent haven.

Dream Pottery Unboxing: First Purchase + Surprise Bonus Item Unveiled!
Просмотров 57714 дней назад
I recently discovered a pottery artist, Mark of Dream Pottery. I saw one of Mark's posts on Instagram showing a beautiful Euphorbia staged in his own pot and I was sold. His page lead me to his shop in Palmstreet where I ordered one pot. (This video has no affiliation with Palmstreet. It's just me sharing things that I like.) A few days later two boxes showed up at my door. I was puzzled becaus...

I cannot believe how amazing my viewers are. One of my viewers reached out to me on Instagram saying she had purchased a couple of plants for a good price.

And then she insisted on gifting me a plant as an early Christmas gift with nothing expected in return. A short while later I rec...

*THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED* UPDATE 11/24/2024: I am now working on repotting the Astros and found a HUGE mistake! The labels for Uni-Gro and MG Seed Starter Perlite had been swapped! So it is not Uni-Gro that did the best amongst the commercial (non-premium) soils in tray #1, it is the MG seed starter mix that did the best! This also changes some of the observations between tray #1 and tray #2 wh...
Aftermath of the HOTTEST summer in Arizona history | Post-summer cactus & succulent update

Summer 2024 can be summed up in three words: record-breaking heat. We clocked in at 142 days at 100F/37C or higher with 70 days at 110F/43C or higher. Even worse were the overnight lows. We experienced more than a month where overnight lows stayed at 90F/32C or higher. I forgot to mention in the video that we also got almost no rain this summer! The much needed monsoon storms never arrived. So ...

Cactus seed soil battle! | Episode 7: 30 week update! (A lizard makes a surprise cameo)
Hello! I am glad you are sharing your hobby. Thank you.
That "pokey dot" plant has a common name in Canada. They call it the chocolate chip cactus/euphorbia due to the spines look like mini chocolate chips
A little late with the comment but I wanted to wish you a (very) belated birthday. I’m sorry that you were struggling with anxiety related to your age. It’s easy to tell you that everyone ages and that you have nothing to worry about but those of us who struggle with anxiety know that it isn’t that easy. I hope that you’ve found peace in the 2+ years since filming this video. I’ve only recently discovered your channel but can tell you that I really do appreciate your content including the reminders that we’re all just human (and cats!). PS I would love to see a video dedicated to your pottery. I discovered Larry Thomsen thanks to you and would really like to see what other cool pots you have. You may already have this video and I just haven’t found it :)
Now I have to visit Tucson.
Thanks this was the perfect holiday treat. ✨
Gorgous plants but prices a little high
Hi Jenny 👋 I watched 👀 to the end I was also reporting my own seedlings 🌱 while I watched your I did it in too lots your seedlings 🌱 looks a lot bigger on the screen 😅😅😅
So many plants! It looks like heaven ☺️ Online shopping is fun, but being surrounded by beautiful genuses and species in person is the best!
I am half way through watching the video and found it interesting and informative about the different types soil it is new years eve in Tasmania 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great video you just gave me another haworthia and aloe and uforbias place to order from
Done died and gone to heaven. I see boobie cactus at 2:12 but can't locate it on their website. I don't know the scientific name :(
Thank you for showing this place, Jenny! I'm planning on checking out some of the nurseries you've shown in Tuscon soon!
I have seedlings 🌱 that are a year old but your look a lot bigger 😂😂😂😂
Wo what a great collection I am very envy with the this we don't have anything like this in Tasmania 😅😅😅😅😅
Wow Jenny this is awesome! I live up north and my selection of cacti and succulents is pretty slim. To see all of those I am jealous. So many good options and way warmer in Arizona! Great video 😁
Kleinia is a genus segragated from Senecio.At 37:48 the big foliate plants behind some Euphorbias were Synadenium montanum var. rubrum(for the red leaf) Thay are in the same family as Euphorbia but form small trees.Very beautiful but toxic.Dioon is from the cycad family.This is the perfect place for a succulent plant collector to go crazy.I wish you a Happy (soon to be) New Year to you and your loved ones and to Cookie too.
Jenny, I think you've discovered the secret to at least curbing a 🌵 shopping addiction - growing 500+ little 🌵 seedlings ‼️ You're a genius ‼️ 🧠 👏 (pun intended 😅)
Dear Jenny, this video is a best Christmas/New year present to me. Because literally a half of my collection originated from Arid Lands. I have been dreaming for many years about visiting that place. THANK YOU !!!! Happy New Year !
wow! I don't even like euphorbia, but I must say that Edward weirdo you picked up is veryyyyyyyyy cool ‼️ I know exactly what you mean having to work around a little furry barnacle 😼 thanks for the awesome tour, I'm definitely checking out their website 👍 Happy New Year, Cookie and Jenny ‼️
In the winter I put my Desert Roses under LED grow lights they keep their leaves all winter. 34:18
A happy Desert Rose is a thirsty Desert Rose lol 34:23
This reminds me that I'm overdue for a Tucson nursery trip. I'll have to head out next weekend if it's not too cold. Cheers and as always awesome video! Keep up the great work.
And this is the video that will get the channel to 7k, we do love a nursery tour
That’s some lovely pottery and a generous artist! Definitely going to keep my eye on his storefront. I found Larry Thomsen thanks to your videos and now I have another artist to follow. Happy holidays!
I am still amazed by the generosity of this cactus community. I'm happy to share the pottery love - finding new works to love is so wonderful. Happy holiday to you too!
Found this video, wonder how conos doing in your area and conditions?
I think most of them are still alive. They look dead through the hot season and then prove themselves wrong in the cold season. Some have doubled their heads. I don't know what I'm doing with them though lol. They're on the bottom shelf inside the pergola where I mostly forget that they're still there, which is probably why most of them are still alive.
@@cookiescacti I get up to 115F in summer and 28F in winter in my dry, unheated greenhouse and have strong fan for air circulation in summer does well. I have 30% shadecloth over the greenhouse, and have no problem with lithops, little burn on Conos. Key is proper gritty soil, good air circulating, and not water when splitting. My Lithops and Conos are just finishing blooming now in San Jose, Northern California and then comes the splitting phase. If Mesa Garden can grow them in NM, I think you can do well in AZ!!!😍😍🤔🤔🙏🏻🙏🏻🌵🌵
❤🙏❤🙏 Hope you and Cookie doing better. Be sure to know what size structures the city and HOA allows.
Cookie has a check up appointment with her vet at the end of the week. Not going to lie - I get nervous about the lab results now... Thank you for the well wishes 🙏 I have read the city rules on backyard structures and I'm sure my pergola is in some sort of violation but my neighbors don't care which is so awesome. I chose a house in a neighborhood with no HOA so at least I don't have to worry about that part.
@@cookiescacti Praying for Cookie and you.🙏🏻🙏🏻 I'm sure you can talk to your buddies at the Cactus and Succulent Society for more details on structures and growing/selling your cacti. I grow mine in a 10x10 dry, unheated greenhouse but I don't have as many astro/copiapoas as you do because I have a lot of mesembs and grafts besides Astros/Cops, etc.
You made it! 😊 Thank you for sharing Jenny!
Thank you for joining me on this long journey, Galina!

@@smokiesmom2 🎉🎉🎉 omg amazing accomplishment!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Did you make it to the end! You're so close!
I made it to the end and it's sooooooo much fun seeing the 500+ seedlings all nicely organized and in their glory - Congratulations!!! I'm looking forward to updates, your astro mom collection is fabulous 😍 I love your content, thanks for sharing your plants and especially your sweet Cookie 😻
@@smokiesmom2 wowowowowow, you made it!! I cannot believe you went through the entire 7 hours! This is so awesome. You are the best!! I think next year's videos will have one goal - to get Cookie to appear on every single video 😁
that's the best goal I've ever heard 👏👏👏 I'll be cheering you on ‼️
I try to look it trough, but i do not find any "rust" looking spots? My seedlings have small rust spots, others some whiteish growth on them. Do yours also have small fungal infections? Most of mine have some kinda fungal issue 😖😖 If you did show some fungal issues on your plants, can i plz get a time where it is ^^? Best regards 😘😘
Happy holidays to you and Cookie 🎄
@@PlantFun1 happy holidays to you too! I'm at my parents place hanging out 😊
Absolutely amazing show, thank you for taking us with you! And congratulations on your ribbons! (even though it was a year ago...)
I made it to 3:49 😊
🎉🎉🎉 A HUGE congratulations! I've written down all the timestamps where I say to leave a comment if you reach this point. You're the first to comment!
@@cookiescacti It's so much fun having your video on while working in the garden 🙃
@@smokiesmom2 that is so perfect!
Learn so much from seeing you and your insights. Thank you. With cacti and succulents, a jade plant gift pre pandemic.
I love this so much. Thank you for the positive feedback. May 2025 bring on even more plant madness!
I just got to the Thrasher part of the video. I’m a little south of you, but I have a pair of Thrasher’s that visit my yard every day. (I grow a bunch of native plants, in addition to cacti, so I always have critters in my yard.) Anyway, I found that once I started putting dried mealworms out, they stopped messing with my plants. 😂
Interesting... I tried leaving birdseed out for them but that wasn't enough. Maybe it needs to be insects. They like to dig through my rock ground cover all the time.
I've been watching in 30 minute or 1 hour sections. Keep going...I admire your dedication!!!
Dannnggggg, I love this so much. I thought no one would watch this or give up a few minutes in. But no! You are my people! 💚💚💚
I'm here not only because I love Ariocarpus but because I think you started a chain of events that led to me winning 3 Arios. I saw you starting to shop on palmstreet in your videos and then I saw Dave from DLLM Cactus getting into palmstreet (pretty sure he learned about it from you) and he showed me a seller that unlocked the addiction for me. Last night I'm watching an event on PS and won an Ariocarpus agavoides, Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus, and a 4" retusus cauliflower!!!!! My 2 most prized plants are a fissuratus my mom gave me about 15 years ago and a retusus my wife bought me and adding these to the collection is just craziness for me. Anyway somehow I feel like it wouldn't have happened without you and also I'm just here to gaze at your glorious Arios in anticipation. I've been amassing quite an astrophytum collection in the matter of a month 😅Maybe someday I'll find a way to afford to go as hard as you on Arios 😁
Wait, your mom got you a fissuratus 15 years ago? That is so cool!! We speak the same language, all these Arios and Astros. I must admit I lost my mind the past few years in acquiring these plants. But the best part is that these older flowering ones produce seed - now if I could just successfully grow them from seed.... I appreciate your positive words of encouragement. I'm a big fan of DLLM, love how he's growing so much from seed and sharing his love of plants with us too. Happy holidays, my cactus friend!
name?
Most likely Astrophytum onzuka
love astrophytum, i heard that they need higher temperature to grow
Me too 😁 they do seem to enjoy warm/hot temps
Always the cats. I think it's the Godzilla traits in the serpent dna
💯💯💯🦎🦎🦎😸😸😸
I'm sooooooooo excited to watch this entire video right now ‼️ Thank you for all your joyful work, happy holidays Jenny and Cookie ‼️ ‼️ ‼️
You are so amazing smokiesmom2! I just saw you achieved a time milestone on this video 😁😁😁 Who is Smokie by the way?
This scavenger hunt IS CLOSED! I cannot believe it - all three prizes have been claimed within the FIRST DAY OF THIS VIDEO RELEASE!!! Holy smokes! Thank you to everyone who put in the time to watch this video and search for the answers to all the scavenger hunt questions. I have closed the entry form for now. If you'd like me to leave the form open just for fun to see if you can find all the answers, let me know by commenting here.
Just finished watching the whole video (on 1.75x speed). While I'm sure the editing took a long time, I found the video cathartic to have on in the background. The added Q&As were great and the scavenger hunt was a fantastic idea that made it more immersive. Hope you make more of these types of videos! Also, watching someone repot plants for 7 hours definitely makes me want to grow from seed myself 😬
Your feedback makes all the time and effort in making this video so worth it. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know and in watching the video in its entirety and participating in the scavenger hunt. Congratulations on your win, John! Well-deserved 🙏🙏🙏
I haven’t started watching yet, but I already know it’s going to be my new favorite video. 🙌
I love this so much 🙏🙏🙏💚💚💚
You could have saved a lot of time potting them in flats.
That's very true. My chaotic process didn't do so well with optimization. My desire to keep the seedlings separated by the soils they were sowed in trumped all other logistic thoughts 😁
This should satisfy my addiction for at least another day or two. Great job Jenny.
Ha! I was reading your comment to my mom and both of us were laughing. I love this so much, just a day or two 😂
I hope you still have enough pots left for a pottery tour. Also, I'm waiting for a baby astrophytum give away :D
😂😂😂 don't worry, I've got pottery tour down on my list of future videos. Let's give these guys some time to grow so that I run out of space and beg you all to take them off my hands 😁😁😁
Yessss! I never thought I would be super excited and happy for a 7 hour long video. And it's astrophytum so that's a bonus! Thank you for taking your time to upload the video!
Yesssss you are who I'm making this video for! Thank you so much for all the positivity! It makes all the time that went into this so worth it 🙏💚
@@cookiescacti Thank you! I finished watching it today early in the morning and let me tell you that it was very good. It was very relaxing and entertaining. You do like to spoil us with great content! Happy holidays to you, Cookie and your family!💚💚💚
Lack of variegated succulent cactus is sad. They really are very beautiful and easy to grow. They break the monotony of having green allover.
I got a few variegated seedlings in this batch! 4 out of 531....
You're gonna break the internet..😂😂😂
😂😂😂 this one is for the true cactus lovers 😁
