Cactus jobs to do and plan for the upcoming Growing Season 🥰🥀🌻😎🌞🌵
Looking tidy there Lyn 🙂 If you've lost a label completely and you don't know what cacti it is then put one on saying "If you can read this then you're too close" in very small writing 😁Hope you and Hans have a lovely evening 😊😊🌵🌵

You are certainly right Lyn!! So much to do to get ready for spring!! I also have a spring project. The back wall of the greenhouse is just old tin. At work they have had us breaking down old shipping crates & pallets. I have been collecting quite a bit of wood slats. I'm going to cover the back wall in these slats!! Like an old wood wall!! And I can then hang plants from it also!! Lots to do!!! Thanks for sharing Lyn!! Spring is almost here!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, to across the emerald isle, have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🌷🌴🌸🌿🌻🍀🌾💐🌱🌳🌹🪴😃👍
Awwwww covering the back wall of your greenhouse with wooden slats sounds amazing Clyde, and a brilliant idea to hang up plants from it, I hope you film a video when you do it, its so exciting to plan for the spring, and I always feel relieved when January is over as its such a long month, yay spring is getting near, thanks so much Clyde for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you and beautiful Deb and all the pets and plants all lots of love and happiness and PEACE, LOVE PLANTS and PLANT POWER to Morris Park for a fantastic Tuesday XXXX

Hi Lyn, Very informative video. I wait for spring too. Plant power🌿
So happy you loved the video George :-D I am so looking forward to Spring and counting the days haha, thanks so much for your wonderful Friendship and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Moldova for a fantastic evening XXXX
Thank you for a great video and checklist! I was finally reunited with my collection after 5 weeks yesterday, and have just spent time assessing where things are at - most of the tiny seedlings look unwell through lack of water, although I think some will survive. Last year's trichocereus seedlings that were outside under shelter have turned purple - they were in a sunny spot and it has been unseasonably warm. The more mature plants are all looking fine, if a little shrivelled.
I now realise I have lots of repotting to do (maybe 50 plants) and also have loads of seeds on order - agaves, echinopisis and more agaves mainly. Oh and Dyckia Brevifolia. So that will be a lot of fun, and I hope I don't lose too many of these.
Thats fantastic you have seeds on order and you have chosen a fantastic selection to grow, I have Dyckia breviflora too and they are amazing plants, thats brilliant you are back home and all your mature cacti look good, I am sure your Tricho seedlings will green back up again over the coming weeks too, I will keep my fingers crossed you tiny seedlings recover well after a good watering, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
Spring can't come soon enough!
I am so excited for the upcoming spring, I can't wait haha, thanks so much Terry for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX

Very helpful tips Lyn! I acquired a few Melocactus this month and I’m just waiting for my cactus mix to arrive. Good luck with your sowing, I hope they all grow!
Thats fantastic you have gone some Melocactus and so happy you loved the tips, thanks so much Vera for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
Thank you for another educational video Lyn. It's time to plant my Echinocereus Rigidissimus Rubiuspinis seeds. She bloomed in spring and wonder of wonders with no other cactus like her around she produced seeds. My Mammies are needing a repot as they have lost a lot of soil due to the large hole in their terra cotta pots. I think I've lost my Gymno as she has turned a purple color and has flattened to the level of the soil. It started in late summer no matter how much I watered. If she has passed, I plan to buy an Astrophytum Myriostgma or a Mammilliaria Knebeliana.
Thats fantastic you have Echinocereus rubispinus seeds to sow Marie :-D awwww so sorry to hear about your Gymno, it may be good to check the root system is ok just in case it can be saved, Astrophytum myriostigma and Mammillaria knebeliana are wonderful new additions, thanks so much Marie for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
Thanks for another helpful video. I see that I still have quite a bit to learn and think about.
So happy you enjoyed the video Bill :-D and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
Thanks for the video Lyn! You could do a monthly 'jobs to do for the weekend' : ) I realise now I'm always on the late side with repotting, wanting to make sure it's not too early. I'll be less scared now. Also feel myself longing to plant more seeds after a few years of holding back (space running out!) but I have a plant or two on my wishlist still that I want to grow from seed. Good luck with the jobs!!
So happy you loved the video Nathalie :-D and thats brilliant with the seed sowing, I wasn't going to sow any more seeds either as I am maxed out with plants haha, but its too tempting, I am definitely going to start repotting much earlier this year as last year I never got round to repotting all that I wanted to do, thanks so much for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Belfast to Dublin for a fantastic evening XXXX
Thanks for keeping us updated with the list of jobs to do next Spring. You sure have a lot to do with all your wonderful plants in your polytunnel. If you want a helping hand I will come over Lyn! hahaha Have a wonderful afternoon and evening my friends Lyn and Hans. Sending you both lots of love and happiness!
haha Sylvia :-D awwwww you and Paul would be very welcome, I really am so looking forward to the Spring this year and seeing all of the plants waking up again, thanks so much Sylvia for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you and Paul lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Malta for a fantastic Monday and a wonderful new week XXXX

Awesome video, I've had to restock all soil components, label tags and smaller pots. As to buying new plants, this year is shaping really exciting, a visit to Spalding mart, Southfields nursery and a few others, so I expect to break the bank😂
Thats brilliant you are going to be visiting Southfields nursery and Spalding mart this year, I have always wanted to visit Southfields nursery, thanks so much Magda for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comments and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Hans and me for a wonderful Sunday XXXX

Thats fantastic news your copper king bloomed and now has fruit forming, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
Hello my friends across the blue waters hope all is well great video a lot of great information have a great day your way if I had some seeds i would grow them why am I still getting red fruit on one of my cactus
So happy you loved the info and video Gary :-D and if your cactus is getting red fruits thats a brilliant sign your cactus is developing seeds, the red fruits can take a few months before they are ready for harvesting as the red fruits will turn more browner as they mature, I will be keeping some of my Mammillaria seeds for you, thanks so much Gary for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX

Hi Lynn and Hans,we're nearly at spring yayy! Lynn some of my cacti look very dehydrated can i give a little water yet? I keep thrm on a bedroom table ,thsnks Drclan ,London
Hi Declan :-D if you are able to wait a tiny bit longer until mid Feb then it will be ok to give your indoor cacti a little bit of water if they are shrivelling, I sometimes give my indoor cacti a light watering mid Feb if they are very dehydrated, I keep all of my cacti in the polytunnel all dry until April though as they are kept very cool, I have a video on watering indoor cacti in the winter, I will see if I can find it and share the link to you here XXXX
Hi Declan, here is the link to the video: ruclips.net/video/zenGgUwUpBM/видео.html

Thank you! I’ve some etiolated small pads on an opuntia which is supposedly dormant in a north facing porch. Should I take these off soon to encourage proper shaped pads to grow in the growing season? Cheeky cactus has been still growing a bit over winter!
Hi Georgina :-D yes its good to prune off any of the etiolated pads, this will encourage rounder normal pads in the spring, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
Lynn,I need to report my germinated Christmas cactus Seedlings! Can I plant into sections since each container holds appropriately 100 seedlings? You know,divide into 4 groups? Thanks!💚
Thats fantastic news you have Christmas cactus seedlings, its best to wait as long as possible before replanting them as the root hairs can be very delicate for the first 6 months, but if they were looking too overcrowded you can very carefully scoop them up with the soil intact and re plant them into groups, thanks so much Ellyn for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
Hi Lynn
Informative video as usual!
I have an older Optunia that has corking along the stem and some leaves. Should I remove some of the leaves in order to generate new ones? Otherwise, it's doing fine.😃🙏
Hi Annette :-D you can remove some of the pads/leaves that have the corking and this will encourage greener new growth in the spring, but the good news is corking is harmless and more aesthetic, but you can prune off the corking leaves if you wanted more greener fresh growth in the spring, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Thanks for your reply. I will trim off some of the leaves that have corked. Perhaps closer to Spring time. Winter time is a challenge for me, particularly with my cacti and watering them. Recently lost one to rot...if I water sparsely they die, if I don't water, they die...I'm not sure anymore what the solution is and it can get expensive this hobby of mine. Keep up the good work.
@@annettenoga6182 Awwww the winter really is challenging to get our plants through, I just lost a lovely Ferocactus today to rot, I lost a few cacti last winter too, roll on spring we say XXXX 🥰❤😎
Thanks great video as always. I have half a bottle of baby bio cactus & succulent feed fertiliser left over from last year can this be used when spring summer starts in 2024 or should I buy new? Would using the old fertiliser kill plants?
Hi Andy :-D the good news is the Baby bio from last year will be perfectly fine to use again this year, they have a good shelf life even if the bottle has been opened a year or two, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
Question, my monkey tail Cactus is starting to curl is there anything I can do about that? All my haworthia are looking rough too I'm not sure whatbim doing wrong any suggestions??
Hi Tom, sometimes the tails can grow a little curled by nature, but if they are starting to curl too much it could be caused from either dehydration or insect pests, it may be best to remove from its pot to thoroughly check over the roots in case there are any signs of insect pests like root mealy bugs hiding in the soil and roots, if all your Haworthias are not looking good it can be due to multiple issues, like dehydration or the wrong soil or insect pests, I would recommend checking thoroughly for signs of pests on both the foliage and the roots, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
What soil mix do you recommend for cacti?
Hi April, I make up my own soil mix of 3 equal parts of loam, grit and sand, but you can use any well draining cactus commercial soil mix, I use John innes number 2 loam based soil, with horticultural grit and horticultural sand, here is a link to a video I have made on how I make my own cactus soil: ruclips.net/video/8s9Jq7qbfA0/видео.html thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon thank you
@@aprilfoote8700 XXXX 🥰❤
I take my cacti indoors during winter. Is it wrong that I water them time by time?
Hi Gundega, ideally its best to keep them dry over the winter months, but if they are showing signs of being very shrivelled and because you have them indoors you can still give them a light watering, I sometimes have to water my indoor cacti in mid February if they start to shrivel too much, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Thank you for the answer. Do roots dry out during winter months and grow back when you start watering again?
@@gundegaberzina874 Yes the good news is the roots go dormant during the winter and can withstand many months with no water, then once the spring arrives and normal watering starts the roots wake up and come back into active growth, XXXX 🥰❤🌵
@@desertplantsofavalon Thanks, my question is what happens with very thin feeding roots. Most likely they die back, correct?
@@gundegaberzina874 the thin feeding roots lose their very minute tiny hairs that come from the roots over the winter, these minute tiny hairs act like sensors for the roots for water, over the winter the tiny hairs die back but the main roots survive dry, in the spring when the watering starts again the roots will wake up and send out these very minute hair like fuzzy sensor hairs that detect water, nature really is amazing XXXX 🥰❤🌵
