- The Plants for the Southwest Nursery trip did something to me. Perusing Mesa Garden on a relaxing weekend evening in front of the TV with a Cookie lounging by your side is always a dangerous activity. I forgot about what I did and then one day a box showed up in my mailbox... Now let's open that box together and see what we did.

Glad you extended this video can clearly see what they look like.🌱
Yayyy! I'm glad that thought crossed my mind as I started editing. Your comment alone makes it worth another false ending lol
My son adores everything miniature, he forgot to breath watching this video. It makes me to consider to buy ......
Awwwwww he'd looooovveee the Conophytum! They're the tiniest and the most strange!
They have mouth!!!! They give me such a tropical vibe!!!! Thanks for sharing!
They doooo!!! We cannot un-see the mouths!!!!
Great video, as always! I love mesa garden.. I trust seeds from there and prices are reasonable.. those plants look fabulous- very healthy and so pretty! 🤩 Good luck with them!
Thank you so much! We're so lucky to have a business like MG here. I can't imagine where my growing would be without them. And the owners are the nicest people too!
Great video really enjoyed the unboxing lovely plants
I'm so glad you enjoyed this one, William! I'm happy to say all the plants have been thriving in the cool season.
Thank you very interesting plants,good luck.
Thank you! I need all the luck I can get!
My buying adventures online at night … result in surprise plants when delivered 🤭
Ha! I'm relieved to know I'm not the only one 😂 While I was unboxing I had a constant inner monologue of "I don't remember buying this. Did I buy this? Why doesn't it ring a bell?"
I had those Echinoides 'Bridgesii' seeds in my cart and when I went to purchase they were out! At least they went to a good home :) Ended up receiving some gift cono ectypum tischleri and uviforme seeds in previous MG orders that are SO cute as they begin to poke out of the soil - now I'm hooked
Ha! I stole the seeds out of your cart! I sowed them already and I can say they are coming up really nicely so recommend them the next time! What's your method of growing cono from seed? Is it different from cactus seeds in general?
Your videos inspired my seed growing journey so very similar to the same process as the copiapoa videos just a few deviations here and there! Surprisingly, all of my astros and copiapoas have experienced some form of rot or loss in one way or another but zero issues with the Conophytum thus far. I have started crushing my pumice to be coarse sand and mixing it with my roughly 20/30/30/20 “cactus” soil, pumice dg/lava and perlite mix and they were the first to get the treatment.
Just got some new lithops a few days ago. Have them under a grow light here in Ontario, hope they do well. Love your videos!
Woohoo! Lithops are so cool and so strange. I'm sure you'll do great with them. And if not, just try again 😁
😹😹😹 lol, yes they are weird. i was so scared of them and the lithops at first but more seedlings are popping up right now!
Are you growing the lithops from seed? Any special treatment to grow them? Or treat them like any cactus seeds?
i poured fine sand into the seed packet and shook it up then poured that onto the soil mix. i've been taking my seedlings out of humidity domes as soon as they pop up on most stuff other than ariocarpus but i have to babysit them so they don't dry out. i really wasn't sure when they would be big enough to stop watering them regularly. had to keep close eye on them and watch for the tops to start getting puffy like a marshmallow which i think is indicator that leaves are ready to split and then let off the water. some are still a bit behind on development so i try to give them a drop or two of water without getting the bigger ones wet. yes, i started with a mixed pack of 100 seeds from Mesa Garden and have recently been starting all the freebie packs that they send with my regular orders. i've bought a couple larger lithops live plants from a nursery in the past and i killed them so was really scared to even try.
Those are very unique plants!
Right?? So unusual. 🤞🤞🤞 I can keep them alive...
I took a deep dive into conos too! I just ordered 15😅.
We're all going down the rabbit hole together! 😁😁😁
With Lithops, I’ve realized that the best way to care for them is to forget you have them.
Oh good you're confirming what I've been experiencing too. My surviving Lithops are the ones I totally forgot I even have.
Cookie’s Conophytum 😂. I’ve never had much success with Conophytum. They always end up dying. I have a few now that are doing okay but I don’t hold my breath lol.
I've had the same experience with Lithops and I'm hoping Conos will be more straightforward... but there's only one way to find out.... so far I have no idea what I'm doing! I kinda water them because it's winter but that's about it.
I got a bunch of conophytum and lithops from Mesa Gardens! They have awesome plants! 🪴🪴🪴🌵🌵
Have you purchased conos and lithops from them in the past? I'm pretty happy with this purchase, yay Tarah and Aaron!
i know a guy his name is Josh he likes cactus too. im Amazed i got the algorithm to find you this fast. he is gonna get a kick out of this
Thank you RUclips algorithm 🙏 I hope it doesn't disappoint for Josh 😁
Love your title ❤
Hehehe, I'm so glad you appreciate it 😁
Cool and weird 😁
So weirdddd.... I go out there to check on them and then end up staring at them and the initial "weird" reactions are still as strong as when I first saw them, ha!
Hey Jenny, where do you get those garden tags? It looks like pencil writes really well on them. The tags my local nursery sells smears really easily, and I've gotten similar results on Amazon.
I bought the labels off Amazon. Here's my affiliate link to the latest ones I bought: amzn.to/3uSKrSV There are many options that are less than 1000 labels though lol. I've purchased this pack of 200 labels before too: amzn.to/3GDGhAY
Lithops die if they sense water within a mile of my house...😅😅
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The amount of alarm dogs out there is too damn high
I love dogs but don't understand why some people let them bark like that.
It's just this neighbor for some reason.... I sometimes stand there with my hand on my hip, slightly seething as I'm waiting for them to calm down before I can continue recording.
Same. Luckily they're pretty quiet except when I make some noises in the yard. I still don't get it most of the time.
I got the last Copiapia C. bag from mesa from the last drop 😭 I wish I could’ve bought more seeds I bought some Delbata too
Oh danggg!! Lucky! We just have to keep a constant eye on MG's new seed postings on Instagram. Please let me know how the growing goes! I have yet to get my hands on cinerea seeds from MG and then they got so darn expensive I hesitate to hit the "buy" button every time.
from what i hear, even if you think a cono died over the summer it's best to keep it at least another growing cycle or two and try to water it in winter juuuust in case it's not actually dead so you don't end up throwing away a perfectly good plant 😂
Thank you so much for leaving me this message because some of the conos are not looking too happy now. I will not assume they are dead even if they look like it 😂
@@cookiescacti it's sooo hard with these guys 😭 i thought my C. maughanii were dying last year around this time but now i know they're just like that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ some conos go crispy earlier than others so it's always anxiety inducing the first time with a new plant 😭
I don’t know, if they look like mouths it’s Doozer mouths from Fraggle Rock
10000% Now I really can't unsee it
Packing no pot wow 😢
???
Its really common to ship plants bare-root, its a lot safer for the plants to be wrapped up individually as a full pot could very well be broken or shift during transit :>
Shipping succulents bare roots is pretty standard. Mesembs deal with having no soil for extended periods of time exceptionally well. They are typically grown in a rocky substrate, which would make shipping unnecessarily cost prohibitive. The heavy pots could squish the plants during shipping, and the rocks could cut them and lead to rot. Most people like to use them as part of a larger succulent arrangement anyways.
Ohh thank you to those who responded! Now I understand the comment. Yeah, shipping bare root is the most common method here, at least in the United States. Very few sellers ship plants with the pot. I've bought many plants that are shipped bare root and didn't have any issues potting them up after receiving them - they all acclimated to their new environment and are doing very well.
