I tasted the fruit of the wild paddle like cactus that grows in the desert. I had to be careful with my teeth because the seeds were really hard. The fruit was actually pretty good. Glad my brother was the one who got stuck getting them. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Ana! Such an abundance of seed pods! Unbelievable! I'm so happy for you. I was thinking about Daz's adventurous moment when you spoke about not tasting the fruit pulp. Hahaha. Bless his courage.😊 Thank you for sharing the harvest video with us And here's to the next generation of cacti! From the garden city of India to you, have an awesome week. Cheers and God bless.
,hahaha. I was curious how it tastes but then again after what Daz did, the curiosity quickly passed. 😄 Thank you, Carl. Cheers indeed to more cacti growing. 🌵☕️🌵☕️
Fantastic video Ana, soooo many seeds! The Opuntia and Rainbow Hedgehog cactus seed pods were very interesting looking. Thanks for once again reminding me about the bad tasting Mammillaria fruit 😝😂 Every time I’m reminded of that I can still taste it! You really should have tasted the Gymno fruit, I heard they’re absolutely delicious 😂 Thank you for sharing another awesome video with us Ana, have a fantastic week. 😊🌵☀️🌸☕️
I learn a lot about cactus since watching your video Anna , you really know a lot about cactus . I didn’t know much about the name of the cactus . What interest me is seeing those little seeds .great video as always Anna . Thanks for sharing .
Aww, Myra. I’m happy to share what I know. I’m still learning though and I’m only at the start of my journey. I’m thankful for planty friends like you. 🙂 Cheers! ☕️☕️
Awesome harvest, Ana. Quite a few different techniques on obtaining the seeds from the pods itself, how marvelous! 😉😉 It's a much cheaper way but takes an awfully long time but patience is the key. 👍👍👏👏🌵🌵
Hi Molly. I got lucky this year as bees came to visit and help pollinate the flowers. Patience indeed is key. A lot of it. Lol! Thank you for your support Molly. Appreciate it. ☺️☕️☕️
I about to harvest some barrel cactus fruits, so this was a good refresher course. I enjoyed seeing your seedlings. They are quite sizable for their age.
LOVE OF PLANTS 🌻 yeah. Some seedlings that I left out in the summer heat but under shade grew faster than the ones I babied inside my house. Barrel fruits! Oh, must be good size flowering barrels.
I don't know why I never connected my cactus blooms with seed production! Duh! Will you make a video showing how & what you put the seeds in to germinate. I know you mentioned you use plastic bag method. I'd really like to see the process, how many seeds per container, how long before they sprout, do you water them, etc. So fascinating! Thanks for this video, it really fanned the flame of interest in these unique plants.
Hi and thank you for your witty comment. 😄 I will consider your suggestion. I know I made videos from pollinating the flowers up to harvesting the seeds. But you are right, I have yet to show the actual sowing of the seeds. Thank you for your suggestion. 😃👍🏼
This video is so inspiring. I have recently collected my own Gymnocalycium seeds. They joy of preparing the seeds! 😊 Can't wait to sow them. Love from Malaysia ♥️
Thanks for sharing this. I was wondering how to separate the seeds from the pulp. I will use coffee filters because they don't have texture. I'm still waiting for the fruits of my gymno to rippen. I can't wait it's so slow ha ha. I don't know how I missed this video but glad you mentioned it in your new one.
I’d love that. See you in California or in Vegas. 🙂☕️☕️ I still haven’t forgotten your request. I’ll be working on it. Just have to make time filming it. 😉
Oh! You live in cactus heaven state! 😄 It is fun to get seeds. Gives the feeling of accomplishment especially when you are able to germinate them later on.
Cheers Ana! Great insight on growing your own cactus. Thanks for the in depth look. Really, 18 months to grow from seed? Your right people meed to have patience. Take care until next we meet.........
Can’t wait to harvest my fruits now 😁🌵👍🏻 another great episode I will be putting into my saved favourites 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I must admit I’ve been curious to taste some of the fruits growing and in fact tried some of my rhipsalis berries as they looked too good lol 😆 tasted like kiwi fruit so not too bad lol 😆 I must search for that Cactimania episode now and see how Daz went with his tastings lol 😂
im flabergasted with the size of that saguaro seedling, i grow alot of species from seed and my saguaros are super fast germinators and super slow growers, i have 4 years old that are that size
Which type of seeds would you recommend for a beginner to plant? I really want to grow my own cacti, but I’m not sure which type to get? There are so many different types of cacti. Any advise would be appreciated. Btw I love your cacti collection. One day I hope to have a collection like yours. Your videos are an inspiration.
Among the seeds that I’ve grown, trichocereus (grandiflora/torch cactus) are the easiest to germinate and grow. Opuntia humifusa also grows fast for me. But it is not the same for all. It depends more on the quality of the seeds and the conditions under which it is grown. Thank you for your encouraging words! 😊
Hello, how much time does a seed need to pop out of the soil and appear? 2- does time vary depending on the type of cactus? Thank you for sharing experiences🤗
At a temperature average of 84F, many germinate after 7-10 days, others a little longer. Yes, it depends on the type of cactus. Opuntia seeds which are bigger can take months before they germinate. 🙂
Amazing harvesting ate andaming na harvest ienjoy watching your videos po kahit minsan Hindi ako nag cocomment I always support your channel

The dragon fruit cactus (purple/red variety) is maybe the best. Seeds are smaller but fruit is sweet.

Im completely new to your channel. Thanks for all your help. I'm going to try to get some seeds and start growing nopales.
This was very informative! I’ve never seen so many seed pods and this is something I will try in the future. Thank you for this video!
Thank you Kerry. It is fun to do the whole process from extracting the seeds, sowing them and watching the seedlings grow. 🙂😉

I definitely want to try my hand at growing cacti from seeds. I need to order some... lol 🌵💚 thanks for your videos! I love them! 😉💜
Cheryl Bryson, you should! It is very fulfilling when you germinate them and watch them grow. 🙂🌵🌵☕️
This video is so inspiring. I have recently collected my own Gymnocalycium seeds. They joy of preparing the seeds! 😊 Can't wait to sow them.
Love from Malaysia ♥️
Thanks and good luck! 🙂🌵☕️
Wonderful vídeo Ana. That sounds fun😀
That’s awesome Ana!!! I love watching your process 🌵❤️
Thank you Natty. I had fun filming the different methods, too
Nice information. thanks for sharing this video 😃

New subscriber from India. Cheers
Omg. You have a millions of cactus. I really wish i had at least one. Or some seeds.

Good morning Ana! Let’s have coffee!
I’d love that. See you in California or in Vegas. 🙂☕️☕️ I still haven’t forgotten your request. I’ll be working on it. Just have to make time filming it. 😉
Cactus Caffeine maybe by December I’ll be at Vegas ... see you!
I have been collecting cactus seeds for awhile here in Az.
Oh! You live in cactus heaven state! 😄 It is fun to get seeds. Gives the feeling of accomplishment especially when you are able to germinate them later on.
Wow nice video 😍👌👌
Very good, I learned a lot
Thank you, cheers! ☕️☕️😉
Cheers Ana!
Great insight on growing your own cactus.
Thanks for the in depth look.
Really, 18 months to grow from seed?
Your right people meed to have patience.
Take care until next we meet.........
It’s what makes cactus so precious, too. They are slow growers so it takes many years before they get to an adult size to bloom.
Omg... that’s beautiful
Maria Betonio, thank you. ☺️ Cheers! ☕️☕️
Can’t wait to harvest my fruits now 😁🌵👍🏻 another great episode I will be putting into my saved favourites 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I must admit I’ve been curious to taste some of the fruits growing and in fact tried some of my rhipsalis berries as they looked too good lol 😆 tasted like kiwi fruit so not too bad lol 😆 I must search for that Cactimania episode now and see how Daz went with his tastings lol 😂
You are braver than me. I’ve only tasted the cactus fruits that are sold in the grocery. 🤣 Thank you for watching my videos. Cheers! 😊🌵☕️
Love this video , thankyou , ive learnt so much 🧡
Zannonymous T, thank you for watching and leaving a kind comment . 🙂🌵☕️
Awesome video
Thank you Ken
Lovely 😍😍😍
im flabergasted with the size of that saguaro seedling, i grow alot of species from seed and my saguaros are super fast germinators and super slow growers, i have 4 years old that are that size
Nice video.. what is maximum time that we can store this seeds ?
How does storage time affects germination rate??

@@CactusCaffeine Thank you for much :) Hopefully I'll be able to grow my own cactus . :D
😉👍
Hello, how much time does a seed need to pop out of the soil and appear?
2- does time vary depending on the type of cactus?
Thank you for sharing experiences🤗
At a temperature average of 84F, many germinate after 7-10 days, others a little longer. Yes, it depends on the type of cactus. Opuntia seeds which are bigger can take months before they germinate. 🙂
What is the name of the second cacti in the video because I think I have the same one
Hi Ana, are these cacti seeds edible? Maybe sprinkle them onto bread dough?
Like poppy seeds and sunflower seeds? 🤔 Yes, they are edible but I think I’d rather plant them in soil than in my bread. lol! 😂
Tips on how to grow cactus from seeds pls
I'm only growing cactus because my memory is trash I won't remember to water them weekly like some plants need
Hi! My cactus is growing a seedpod like the long thin red/pink ones in the video. Once it is ready how would I remove the seeds from it?
Open the fruit and rub the pulp with seeds on a paper napkin then let dry. It is easier to get the tiny seeds this way.
@@CactusCaffeine thank you so much!!!!
Why couldn't you touch the opuntia seed pod?
They were full of glochids.
Ana, do you sell your seeds? I would so buy them from you.
I’m sorry. I don’t sell seeds.
@@CactusCaffeine Thank you for answering me.
why does my cactus dont have seeds D:
The flowers need to be pollinated to produce fruits with seeds. 🙂
@@CactusCaffeine ow ok thanks
Can I buy seeds from you?
Hao. Doo Ay a plant Cattus Sees
You waste way too much watter 🙄🤦🏻♂️
