Cactus Surgery and Seedlings Update (ariocarpus, mammillaria, corypantha and more!)

If you have any questions or comments feel free to leave them on our video and we will try to get back to you!

Really awesome stuff, i love how clean your seedling pots look, mine are all covered in algae :p Best regards!

I used to grow algae on the surface but not anymore I wonder why ?

Very enjoyable video. 😀👍
Have you tried exposing those pencil-like Mammillaria albiflora to more sunlight? Turbinicarpus lophophoroides like richer clay soils, perhaps your substrate is too lean for them. T. alonsoi like some humus in soil, and they prefer shaded position, especialy when young. Later on (when they reach approx. 1 cm in diameter) they can be gradually exposed to more sun.
Best regards,

Humus means lower ph ? My soil is high ph. I'll try adding peat to lower the ph which I've done for other turbinicarpus. Thanks

Really enjoyed seeing a tour through your seedlings! Baby cacti are underrated. I'd rather have a bunch of slow little Ariocarpus and baby cacti than dead ones so you're doing good in my book 👍For me it seems like once my cactus seedlings grow to a certain critical mass they really enjoy being transplanted into a mix that is more "adult". After the short transplant shock they seem like they really take off.
