  • It is time to repot the cacti that I purchased during my Fall Plant Haul video. This video will show how I repot a cactus, and what I do after buying new cactus from nurseries or big box stores. I will also share some tips about the soil that I use.

    The cactus soil that I use has cinders, perlite, pumice, processed forest products, processed softwood bark, compost and composted worm castings. I do see some volcanic rocks in it as well. I add more pumice for rot prone cactus.

      After watching your video, I decided I needed to shop around for cactus and cactus soil. To my astonishment , I found 2 very good places and shopped very contentedly ! I’ve been shopping at the wrong places . Both had actual cactus soil mix ( which I bought) and the nursery had a very good cactus/succulent selection . So thanx for making me rethink my shopping strategies👍

    Hi Ana, new subscriber here. I live in Las Vegas (41 years) in the NW part of the valley near 95/Cheyenne. I have just recently developed a keen interest in succulents, euphorbias, cacti and house plants. I have one cactus that I brought here from California when I moved here. It has given me many offspring. After watching several of your videos I'm now more interested in cacti. Since Plant World sold to Moon Valley nursery years ago we're left with very limited choices for finding plants. I look forward to more videos from you and sharing the love of plants along the way. (My daughter-in-law is Filipina from Pangopango.)

      Hi Joan! It’s nice to meet a “neighbor” here on RUclips. I always go to Star Nursery as they are closer to me. Except their plants are not labeled. Yes like cactus because they are tough in our climate. Plus their flowers are beautiful. 🥰 Keep in touch, Joan! And hello to your daughter in law! 😉

    Thank you for the great vid! I watched a guy the other day use a newspaper folded over several times and wrapped around the cacti to lift it out and also to hold it in place while repotting whilst only holding the newspaper “ends” that were pinched together on one side of the cacti (I hope that makes sense). Obviously wouldn’t probably work the greatest while trying to remove old medium with water if you were to get it wet.... but otherwise seemed to work well. Protected him from the needles and help prevent needle damage from him. Thought I’d share with you in case you or others wanted to try it sometime. Best wishes 🌱💕

      Yes, you should always adjust depending on your climate. Mine is so dry that I still add coco coir sometimes to my cactus mix. Plus I also use tera cotta pots. For you, more inorganic than organic is better. 🙂

    Anna , I have one cactus that rot it’s probably because when I repot it I didn’t loosen the old soil . I just went ahead and repot it so maybe when I water it it didn’t penetrate the water could be the cause of the rot. Great video Anna next time when I repot my cactus I will use the same mixture . Thank you for sharing .

    Beautiful cacti Ana! I’m new to the hobby and struggling to find the perfect soil best for my climate. I only have about 100 desert type cacti now and going to stop buying until next spring, so I can see how they do this year. I am using the forbidden (according to many haha) Miracle Gro for cactus and succulents. So I guess I’ll see next how they do. Hopefully I won’t have to repot them all with some other soil mixture. I think terra cotta pots are perfect for cacti for both drainage and looks. Thank you for sharing these little beauties!!!

    • @billastell3753
      @billastell3753 4 года назад +1

      I live in a northern climate and tend to over water so I use terra cotta to promote quick drying. Works well for me. The trouble with miracle grow is it does hold moisture. Where I live and given my inclination to over water it will cause rot in rot sensitive varieties.

    • @CactusCaffeine
      @CactusCaffeine  4 года назад

      Hi Karen. 100 desert types, wow! I would love to see your collection. I used that brand of soil before. It is better than many other brands but the main thing I don’t like is that when it gets too dry (which happens often in my desert climate), it is very hard to get it wet again. The water would just sit on top of the soil for a long time before the soil absorbs it. But my cacti thrived in that soil, too with added perlite or pumice. 🙂 i hope all goes well for you and good luck this winter. 🙂🌵☕️

    • @CactusCaffeine
      @CactusCaffeine  4 года назад

    I think that they came planted in coco-perlite mix, i.e. a mix of perlite and coconut coir, not peat. The coconut is much better than peat. I also learned that from experience. Peat is harder to wet once dried, and tends to absorb rather than provide moisture when it is too dry. Peat also retains too much water, which is a problem in places with more precipitations, especially in winter (The Mediterranean are).

    I live in Riverside, California, and I'm not sure what other's suggestions mean when they say do or don't do something particularly in the autumn or spring as I think most of those suggestions come from people who live in wetter and cooler places. I've some succulents that are said to be particular about when to water and when not to water.
    Just how are the seasons, spring, autumn, winter, and summer for semi dessert where I live.?

I am in Canada and here is very cold, would you please tell me or recommend what kind of soil should I use or buy for my cactus, succulents and rhipsalis.

      Oh, I buy mine at a local nursery store here. The other brand that I use is the house brand soil of Star Nursery (Nevada and Arizona locations). I don’t think they sell it online. I try not to use those with peat moss. Peat moss gets too compact and is hard to rehydrate when it gets very dry.
