  • DIY Mini Cactus Gardens for indoors or outdoors. Cactus and succulents are slow growing and great for adding a splash of greenery to small spaces, windowsills, coffee tables, on a desk or bookshelf. Light requirements can vary depending on the species you choose and the climate you live in, but most will thrive in bright indirect light, filtered sun or morning sun. Other species may require full sun. Cactus and succulents thrive in dry conditions, the fastest way to kill a cactus or any other succulent is by over-watering. So better to error on the dry side... When in doubt, skip watering. Going on a trip? Or forgetful when it comes to caring for plants? No worries... Cactus and succulents do just fine with neglect too.

    Christine I really like your videos and have loved all of the different ones that you do from your previous makeup, do it yourself (that is how we found you) your photography, travel, crafts, plants, garden updates and more. Please keep posting.
    I also enjoyed your five days of raw eating. Thanks for your hard work.

    I really love how much care and effort you put into all of your videos, especially your plant related ones. There's so much love for what you do. So many people just churn out videos for views so it's really nice to see someone with a real passion for what they're doing.

    Looks nice, good tip on using mesh or a coffee filter at the bottom. I use gravel at the bottom for drainage. If you plan on drilling more pots, you can get a drill bit that is made just for drilling ceramic.

    You are the goddess of mini cactus and gardening. I remember when I was little up to 8yrs old, my family and I were living on the first floor and my mom had so many mini cactus. Once the upper floor was constructed, we moved up there and I don't know what my mom had done with those mini cactus because I never saw them again. It makes me quite sad after watching all your mini cactus & succulents videos. But I have a cactus (it forms part of the cactus family , don't know which one) on my rooftop actually and has a flower which will bloom in some time, but for one night only.

  • @swiperfox3145
    @swiperfox3145 7 лет назад

    Just a suggestion, maybe you can use a 2-liter soda bottles to plant your cacti. In that way, people & pets would not ACCIDENTALLY be pricked by cacti.
    There are some ways to do it.
    #1) Cut the bottle in half (horizontally) and put a hole in the bottom (like a pot) and plant it the normal way. Then put the upper half of the bottle on the plant (like a dome). Put some holes so air would flow in/out the domed plant. Just removed the dome when watering the plant.
    #2) Cut the bottle horizontally (near the top), invert and insert the bottle's top part into the bottle's bottom part, just like the usual self-watering soda bottle and put the cactus in (the usual transplanting method). Only the top is open, and you don't need to water it often since it is self-watering.
