That's quick Lyn! You made me shiver watching you handle this big cactus without anything...not even a piece of cardboard! This cactus really look like a chandelier, it is really beautiful apart from the spines! All the other cacti are beautiful too and now each one nicely potted up! Love this video! Wish you have a wonderful afternoon Lyn and Hans, while sending you lots of love and potting power haha!
haha Sylvia :-D I think my hands have turned into leather now with handling spines, the house move was a real challenge with plants falling over and out of their pots, but it was so amazing to get potting them back up again, thanks so much Sylvia for your wonderful comments and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Malta for a magnificent afternoon XXXX

I am in shock how you handle the plants bare handed
LOL! Kathy :-D I think my hands are like leather now, thanks a million for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending lots of love and happiness and heaps of PLANT POWER from Belfast for a fantastic Friday ahead XXXX
That is what I was staring at too, how can she handle them just like that? :D
I know I was flinching watching her touch them. I’m such a baby and it hurts to even touch a baby prickly cactus 🥲
I really like the repotting videos. Thanks so much. I have learned so much from your chanel.
So happy you have learned a lot from the channel :-D thanks so much Angela for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Belfast and have a fantastic new week XXXXX
Thanks Lyn, another great video. I just purchased a plant that I think may be either a Cleistocactus Winteri or Pilosocereus chyrstostele. The garden centre from where I purchased the plant did not know what it was. I decided to label it as the pilosocereus because it is upright, but I just saw your Cleistocactus Winteri upright. Mine looks identical to yours. I love Winteri Cacti. But all cacti are amazing in their ability to callous and form roots and stay dry for the winter. I love these plants so much! Sorry to ramble on. Fantastic Video!
haha you can ramble on all you like :-D I LOVE hearing all about cacti and plants especially new purchases :-D thanks a million for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending lots of love and happiness and heaps of PLANT POWER from Belfast for a fantastic Friday ahead XXXX
I loved this thank you so much!

Hi lynn lovely video hope the poly tunnel is all ok lots of love from uk x
Thanks so much Ben for your wonderful comment :-D the polytunnel is doing really well so far and the plants are keeping well out there :-D we will be insulating the floor over the weekend it will be fun haha :-D thanks so much for watching and have a fantastic Friday today XXXX
Hi Lynn. This is the last video I had any notification for. I've just checked all my settings and the 'bell' is activated, but I had no notification about Hans broken Cacti or the video you put up this morning. Not sure why, but might be worth checking your settings. If I had relied on notifications I would have missed the last three videos 😕 Have switched the bell icon off and back on again to see if that sorts it out. Just thought you should know. Happy Growing. Kaye xx
Funny enough I have not been getting all my notifications from people I am following either the last few days, I think its a You Tube error, and I notice that sometimes videos are missing off the subscriptions feed too, its odd and thanks a million for letting me know about this :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending lots of love and happiness and heaps of PLANT POWER from Belfast for a fantastic weekend ahead XXXX
Of course I watched it all the way through! :D I'm ready for more ;) GReat Lyn, have a nice day Xox
haha so happy you watched all the vid :-D thanks a million for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending lots of love and happiness and heaps of PLANT POWER from Belfast for a fantastic Friday ahead XXXX

Dear Lynn, whenever you meantion "peat" are you talking about the soil that is made of the husk of coconuts?
Hi there, the peat I am talking about is the peat moss that is often used in a lot of commercial soil, but coconut coir that is from the husk of coconuts can be a good addition to use in cactus soils, I don't use it myself but I know a lot of growers who use coconut coir in their cactus soils and are very happy with it,, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Awww thank you so very much for the lovely detailed answer. I just have one more question left: Through trial and error what I ended up using now for the airation of my cacti soil is sand, pumice, lava rock and sometimes perlite. The only moisture bearing agent is coconut coir and I should probably mention that I only use terrakotta pots. I dont have any mold growing with this mix and I hardly have fungut gnats, but the soil keeps drying out so fast even in winter. Should I just "up" the ratio of cocunut coir to "grit", use a different moisture bearing soil completelyl or maybe add loam to the coir? I am sorry for the long message but I really trust you. I wish you all the best and a huuge greenhouse to fill with all the plant you desire! 🥰❤
@@journeytopeace Awwwww you don't need to apologize at all, I am happy to help
@@desertplantsofavalon Thank you Lynn for helping! 🥰❤🥰❤

Your Pilosocereus Gounellei looks great! I have seedlings and was wondering what they are going to turn into. Very excited now. :)
thanks a million for your wonderful comment and for watching Angie and sending lots of love and happiness and heaps of PLANT POWER from Belfast for a fantastic Friday ahead XXXX
I don't know how you do this without gloves! I'm a huge baby when repotting cacti. I'm all gloved up like I'm about to handle spinning knives. 😀
haha Dawn :-D thanks so much for all your wonderful comments and support and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Ireland for a brilliant New Year ahead XXXX
Do you need to let the raw end where it broke to callus first before you try to root it?
Hi Jaden :-D yes if there is any cuts or damage to the raw end of the cactus, its best to let them callus first for a few days before repotting them, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon thankyou :) i put my brother's cactus out side the other day to get some sun, and when i went to bring it back inside i found it snapped off at the base. I love you too!
@@jadenquinn6977 XXXX
Love your Pilosocereus, I need to get one. How soon after repotting can you put him in the sun? If he already has roots can he tolerate the sun right away?
So happy you love this Pilosocereus :-D I love its little arms haha, its a wonderful wacky looking cactus, you can put them in the sun right away if they are rooted already, but with cuttings without roots its best to put into a well lit but shadier position away from direct sunshine until they have rooted, if you get one that has been in the mail for a few days boxed up its best to slowly acclimatise the new cactus to the sun and cover with a shade cloth for about 5 days to allow the cactus to acclimatise to the higher light levels, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Thanks so much for the advice, will do, Lyn.
@@solarwinds- XXXXX
I love potting videos
Similar issue. Moved area and climate. Lost succulents to freeze but one cactus overgrown so babies are actually rooting into bottom layer of the cactus. I’m trying to find out if I can but the big ones off and plant lower but then they wont have roots. Or only pot up the babies?
Hi :-D It can depend on what type of cactus it is, the babies that have roots will be able to be planted up but the big ones without roots may be best to be treated as cuttings and then planted up once the cut part/s of them have dried and they will then re root themselves, good luck with re propagating them :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a fantastic happy Monday XXXX
Great job Lyn. I love watching you pot your cactus, it's very relaxing to me.
Do your fingers and hands ever hurt from all those spines?
I have to use spaghetti tongs to hold my cactus while I replant them. I seem to always really jab the spines deep into my fingers. Haha.
Ask Hans how many plants can be under one grow light? I will look forward to watching you and Hans set that up.
Wonderful job.
So happy you love watching the vids and find them relaxing :-D LOL! I should wear gloves but I don't haha, I think my hands are like leather now :-D You can grow quite a few plants under one light depending on the strength of the lux and the positioning of the bulbs and the size of the light radius outwards :-D we will be making a video over the weekend on setting up the grow lights so stay tuned :-D thanks so much Traci for your wonderful comments and for watching and Hans and I are sending you tons of love and happiness from right across the Emerald Isle for a fantastic Friday XXXX
Hello again, I have a very humid house and there are mushrooms growing in my pots. I know they don't hurt anything but I wonder if I sprinkle just a bit of cinnamon on top of dirt , if that will deter that? What are your thoughts. Thanks again for vids.😍
Hi Denise :-D yes no problem at all about sprinkling cinnamon powder onto the soil it will not harm the soil or the plants at all and will be effective at keeping the fungi away
Lyn I recall from an older video that you mentioned using neem oil as a pest preventative, please could you make a video on how you use it? Is it safe to use on cacti and succulents? I hope all the plants are well in the polytunnel!
Thanks so much for your wonderful comment :-D I have stopped using Neem oil over the past year as I found it difficult to get hold of and have switched to using Isopropyl alcohol / rubbing alcohol instead, but Neem is very effective to use too and is a brilliant preventative, its very safe on cacti and succulents too, I will be trying to get some more online in the coming weeks and if I do I will definitely make a video :-D thanks so much for watching and have a fantastic Friday XXXX
Hi Lynn!😊 I am also interested for neem oil method.. now use garlic brew .. but.. ahah..😷😷.
Very complimet for your plants!!!❤
hole in cactus . solution pls.thx. also how to grow root on pruned cactus?
Hi Terry :-D a hole in the cactus can be due to a few things the most common being vine weevils or snails or mice, if the hole is only small and the rest of the cactus is unaffected its best to leave the hole and it will callus over in time, with pruned cactus cuttings, it can depend a lot on the type of cactus as many vary with their propagation, but with cereus cactus cuttings keep the cuttings dry and unpotted in a shady place to callus over for a couple of weeks, if the base of the cuttings are very wide ( wider than 2 inches ) let them callus over for about 6 weeks, then plant the cuttings into dry soil and into a bright position but away from strong sunshine until they have rooted, once you see signs of new growth fro the top you can water as normal, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful plant powered Sunday XXXX
how do you not get spiked,i could never pick cactus up the way you do,amazing.
haha I think my hands are like leather from handling these spiny plants over the years :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a fantastic Tuesday XXXX
Your great.x
Plant Power
Plant power indeed haha :-D thanks so much Graham for your fantastic comment and for watching and have a wonderful weekend ahead XXXX
So, how should i improvise rooting powder?
Hi there :-D I only use rooting powder to help to 'callus' over the cut parts or use sulphur or cinnamon powder but it doesn't hurt to use a bit of rooting powder over the cut part too :-D thanks so much for watching and sending tons of love and happiness and plant power from Belfast for a fantastic Friday ahead XXXX
Cinnamon powder? How effective is it?
I’ve reported my cactus been a few months and feel like the roots haven’t grown properly and it a bit wobbly?
Hi Joe, it may be best to remove your cactus from the pot to be on the safe side to check that there are no problems with the roots, if its your Autumn/Fall now its best to remove from the soil and pot and check over the root system, if all looks well pot into dry cactus soil and let the cactus rest until the Spring, good luck with your cactus, and thanks so much for watching XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon thanks so much I will try thst
@@joeallan1969 XXXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon I have been giving it a wee water every 2 weeks and saw you aren’t meant be to that at this time. Do I wait a few days then plant it again?
@@joeallan1969 Hi Joe :-D yes I would wait a few days and then re plant it, keep me updated on How your cactus gets on XXXX
The first one looks like a menorah 😊
Cual es el nombre del cactus grande?
hey. can you write the name of the fist one you show?
Hi there :-D thanks so much for watching, yes the first one I show in the video is a Pilosocereus gounelli cactus, :-D sending tons of love and happiness and tons of plant power from Ireland for a brilliant Tuesday today XXXXX
one of my cactus fell. like one thick “leave”? and it still has the root on it. it didn’t break or anything. can anyone help me please :( idk what to do
Hi there, the good news is that if it has a root attached you should be able to plant it up and treat it as a cutting, and it should re shoot again, its best to keep the soil mostly dry until it has sent out new growth, good luck with your cactus and thanks so much for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
I just wanted to know if I can plant my cactus below the soil level, yes I will just do whatever, get a dog. Where’s is the gloves and that’s your dining table?
How do you hold your plants😳😰👅
haha I know I think my hands have turned into leather by now haha :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle XXXX
I'm sorry your accent can be think at times. The first cacti was a pilocerious what? I have one and been trying to find the name.
Hi there :-D its a Pilocereus gounelli :-D and a nice one to grow
