I got my first two E. oxygona pups last summer. I asked my 91 y old godfather if I could have them from his old plants, which his late wife used to grow already for decades. He told me one should get white flowers, the other a light pink, I'm looking forward to see them 😊💛

Someone was giving away a roughed up E. Oxygona at my local CCS, so I took it and have been rehabbing it. The main cactus has recovered quite well, and its 7 pups, which were dry and scarred when I got them ~6mo ago, are now bright and lush.
I’m glad you’re sharing this old specimen, as I feel most of the Echinopsis we’re exposed to are relatively young specimens
Thats fantastic you have got a Echinopsis oxygona rescue and its recovering well and the pups are growing green and lush, its so good to rescue cacti and they are always so extra special, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Sunday XXXX

Hallo, Lyn. When growing plants, I'd like to believe that they'll live as long as possible if they're in good conditions. Your Echinopsis sets a good example for my little ones. One of my cacti (E. subdenudata) doesn't stand out among other plants, but when it blooms it is the biggest star. My other Echinopsis sp grows beautifully, but does not bloom. Thank you for your valuable tips. Have a great weekend 🌵🌵🌵
So happy you have Echinopsis cacti too Emilia :-D and the subdenudata really is the most magnificent of bloomers, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Sunday today XXXX

Hi Lyn, what a beautiful & precious pot of cactus. I have a question and hope you can share your wisdom & advice. How do we determine when to repot cactus and how to determine what size pot as some cactus have quite healthy robust root system and if we have the wrong size pot which is too small, it may impede the growth of the plant & keep it healthy. But if we keep repotting the cactus to bigger pots, we may end up having space constraints for all the cacti collection. Take for example this pot of Echinopsis, does it need a repotting to a much bigger pot?
So happy you love this big Cactus, argh yes its always a bit of a dilemma when knowing when to repot cacti and the size pot, I prefer to wait until early Spring before repotting but I do start to repot some of my Succulents at this time of year, I repot into the next size pot up just a bit larger than the last one, repotting into a much bigger pot can encourage the soil around the roots to stay wet for too long if the pot is much bigger, and repotting into a pot size just a bit bigger is always best, space is a real problem I find too haha, because i know I have a lot of cacti that need repotting but then I have the dilemma of where to put the cactus when there is no more space left on the table haha, I did repot this big old cactus a few years ago and I think it will be ok for another couple of years, here is a link to a video I made on 'How to know when to repot a cactus: ruclips.net/video/MoroO1eIzfQ/видео.html

That’s an awesome plant. I had one but unfortunately I left it outside one summer during a downpour and it didn’t survive. Bummer bc it was producing a lot of pups and on its way to outgrow its 8 inch pot.
Thanks for sharing. Peace.
So sorry to hear you lost your Echinopsis, I hope you will be able to replace it in the future, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Sunday XXXX

Hi. I have a euphorbia blupleurifolia that has had no water since November. it is now leafing out (six leaves up, one three inches long-as long as my finger). Should I start giving it water or wait until spring. I live in central Calif 11:12 ornia so know inches, not centimeters.
Hi Doug :-D that fantastic your Euphorbia blupleurifolia is coming into leaf, yes you can start to water it again now as its coming into active growth, thanks so much Doug for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to California for a super Sunday XXXX
😫 Someone please explain to me how my apple sized Astro Nudum rotted on me!? Just found it today in its demise... im so bummed!!! Dag gone winter!!! It was in 100% pumice/lava rock substrate and 100% completely dry since beginning of August!!! These winters can be so cruel.... no matter how experienced or how we prepare. 😓
Oh No, I am so sorry to hear about your Astro Nudum, its so gutting when we lose plants we love and we don't know why they rotted, this happens to me too and it can be a mystery why they rotted especially when we know we have done everything right for them, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Sunday XXXX
@desertplantsofavalon Thanks for the love and encouragement. On my end, for my rotted Astrophytum Myriostigma Var Nudum, I really have no idea what I could've done differently to change the outcome for this plant. _Thats the worst part... if I knew why it rotted, it'd make more sense to me._ So frustrating.... such a bummer too, I absolutely love my Astros. Winter still looms... fingers crossed, NO MORE LOSS for any of us!!
