- This video shows the plants that I purchased from the awesome, 118 year old Matk cactus nursery that I visited in Berlin, Germany - see my previous video of last week:
• Visiting spectacular 1...
There were 2 fantastic cacti and 6 very cool other succulent plants that I could not resist buying, in order to add to my own collection in the greenhouse at home.
For everyone who is interested in seeing truly awesome, unsual, weird succulent plant flowers from the genus Ceropegia, my video about Ceropegia stapeliiformis:
• FLOWERING SERPENT CERO...
And finally, the Arizona saguaro cactus video:
• Visiting SAGUARO GIANT...
Enjoy!

Great choices! All beautiful specimens there and I also can’t wait to see the growth and blooms they are sure to show before long. 👏 👏 😍
Thanks so much Tracey, glad you liked the plant haul, and indeed looking forward to these plants maturing further, will keep you all posted! Enjoy your week ahead! 🙏👍🙌☺️🪴🌵🌿🌵🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Of course..you got a few cacti plants!!!! I went to visit my sister in Mississippi and found an Opuntia in a most unusual place!!! So i pulled it out of the mound and brought a piece home!!
Haha, yes indeed, Michelle, you are right, of course I had to get myself a few new cacti! Sounds like you rescued that Opuntia, well done! Hope you are having a great day, take care and best wishes! Happy growing and thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏🙏☺️👍🙌😉🌵🪴🌿🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️🙋♂️
So much fun finding new plants! 😊🌵 Thank you for the video!
Thank YOU so much, Gaylene, for watching and commenting! So happy that you enjoyed the video, truly appreciated! 🙏🙏🙌👍😉🌵😉🌵🌿🌼🌸🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Oh WOW Joe absolutely GORGEOUS new STUNNERS you have bought from Helmut Matk and yes when we look for the vacant spots in our collections we realise that 'there is always room for one more or ...... a few more' hahahaha :-D BEAUTIFUL new beauties and WOW with the stunning Ferocacti, thanks so much for sharing your AWESOME new plant haul with us Joe, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Bavaria from Hans and me for a super Sunday XXXX
Thank you so much Lyn, really super that you liked the new plants from the Matk cactus nursery too! Yep, the two Ferocacti were indeed ones that I immediately fell in love with when I saw them, but I was equally happy with the other plants too. Totally agree, there will always be a free space somewhere for another new plant(s), hahaha! Hope you are having a wonderful week, sending you both, Lyn and Hans, very best cactus greetings across to the beautiful Emerald Isle! 🙋♂️👍🙌☺️🌵🌵🪴🌿🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️
Oh if I found one of those stick plants i would be so happy, had to laugh remember my mom would always wonder why i loved plants like that,
just loved the plants you bought 🌱
Hahaha, Tom, brilliant your comment about your Mom, I am like you, just absolutely love these unusual and strange plants, haha, and few others, outside of our hobby will ever understand, lol! Thanks for watching and glad you liked the new plants too my friend! 🙌☺️🙏😉👍🌵🪴🌿🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
You really picked some wonderful plants! And I had a good laugh about the commentary of your wife on the Ceropegia 😂 Indeed, the stems theirselves seem not so spectacular but their flowers look in fact amazing.
The short-spined Ferocactus definitely is a beautiful specimen, I have a cv. brevispinus of E. grusonii which I think is as beautiful as the long-spined version.
I was also happy to find out that I guessed the Ferocactus purchase right 😄😉 I would probably have also purchased one of them because their spines are just amazing, both regarding their length (at least if we're not talking about the cv. brevispinus😅) but also how the spines glow reddish in sunshine.
Have a great sunny Saturday! :)
Thanks very much Jacob, great to hear that you enjoyed the video and also particularly liked the Ferocactus too! And well done indeed for correctly guessing Ferocactus as being among my purchases, haha, you know me and my collection very well by now! Yes indeed, well that Ceopegia, I sure hope it shows it's flowers relatively soon so I can convince my wife, haha! And I agree totally, the Echinocactus grusonii cv. brevispinus is a very cool and beautiful plant too! As always, many thanks for watching and for your awesome feedback and comments! Hope you have a wonderful Sunday and can enjoy the sunny cactus weather too, that we currently are having, happy growing of course!👍🙌😉🙏🌵🪴🌿🌵🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
This was a great haul. I can't wait to see your pile of dried up dead sticks in full bloom!
Hahaha, thanks Justin, that makes at least two of us! Always surprising and wonderful to see these unusual plants bloom! Glad you liked the rest of the haul too, best wishes, take care and happy growing of course! 🙌🙏👍☺️🪴🌵🌿🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️🙋♂️
❤❤❤ I always love seeing your beautiful greenhouse with AMAZING cacti. Of course, any self respecting cactus and succulent collector could never leave such an incredible nursery empty handed. Love those Ferocactus you selected! I have to chuckle at your wife's comment when she saw that one plant. Look forward to seeing it in bloom.
Once again, your cacti collection is amazing. Perhaps time to add onto your greenhouse, so you can keep visiting these amazing nursery greenhouses and sharing it with us. 😉 😂❤ 🌵 🌵 🌵
We plant folks have every right, reason, and excuse in the world to add to our collections which bring us such joy! Daily with care and nurturing, then Seasonally when they bloom or put on new growth! Happy growing, shopping, and collecting!
Thanks so much Lori, I love your comments and feedback! So wonderful that you are enjoying my plant collection and greenhouse! And hahaha, unfortunately the only direction to expand my greenhouse is upwards ( ...additional storey, that would be an interesting building challenge) or downwards, lol ( ...a cactus basement, with some extra lighting...hmm, interesting thought!😁😅). But don't worry, health permitting, I won't stop visiting and sharing with you all, interesting cactus nurseries, shows and botanical gardens! 🙌👍🙏☺️🌵🌵🌵🪴🪴🌿🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Hear! Hear! Hahaha, I totally agree with you @KnightBlooming 👍☺️🌵🌵🌵
You got some beautiful plants, Joe. The plant your wife doesn't like, is that the one with the nickname "the death plant"? I do like plants that look different and odd. Yes, it would be great you can show us when it's blooming.🌵❣️😎
Hello, thank you so much, very happy that you liked the new plants too! Yes I will definitely keep you all updated if / when it blooms ...and I am 100% with you, it's fascinating to grow these super unusual, weird & wonderful ones! Regarding the popular name, I haven't heard it being called that...it's a name used mainly for some extremely poisonous plants, e.g. from the Solanum family. But, haha, i think my wife will probably tell you it is in fact a perfectly fitting name for these dead sticks, lol!! Take care and happy growing! 👍🙏😉🙌☺️🌵🌵🪴🪴🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Nice one Joe 🙂 Not sure about those first plants but some lovely Ferocactus there 😁 Good haul my friend 😊😊🌵🌵
Thanks very much Ziggy! Haha, Aloe indeed not everyone's cup of tea, but I love them. Fantastic that you liked the two Ferocactus too! Thanks for watching and for your awesome feedback my friend! Enjoy your Sunday and a lovely week ahead! 🙌👍🙏😉🪴🌵🪴🌵🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Fan Aloes grows into beautiful tree
Yes indeed, fully agree, those fan aloe trees are wonderful, which is why i have wanted to grow the plant for a long time! 👍☺️🙏🙌🪴🪴🪴💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Great video, Joe. I appreciate the difficulty explaining dead stick plants. I went through it with Euphorbia platyclada, and the Euphorbia does not have beautiful flowers. The Feros look like great specimens for sure. Thanks for taking us along with you. Glad to see you posting again.
Thanks so much Bill, for your wonderful feedback, haha, great to read that others have had to explain dead stick plants too, ...and I would agree, that 'genus' definitely includes the E. platyclada, which I too would buy again anyday, lol! Super that you too liked those new Feros! As always, thanks so much for watching, my friend, and enjoy your Sunday and week ahead! 👍🙌🙏😉🌵🪴🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Love your collection joe i wish i had the knowledge you have sending ❤ from a sunny East Yorkshire UK
Hi Daniel, awww thank you so much for your wonderful comments, that is very kind of you to say! Well, hang in there and you will have at least if not more experience and knowledge about these plants too!😉👍 So cool to be receiving greetings from beautiful Yorkshire, one of my favourite regions of England! Best wishes and sunny greetings back, from Bavaria, Germany! 🙌👍☺️🙏🌵🪴🌵🌺🌸🌼💚😎☀️🙋♂️
I hope the dried up sticks flowers for you!
Haha, indeed Mark, I hope so too, otherwise I might just not hear the end of that one, lol!🙌😉👍🙏🪴🌿🪴🌵🌸🌼🌺💚☀️😎🙋♂️
Nice score on your new plants !! Hey Joe from Alberta
Many thanks Duncan, very happy that you liked the new plants too, thanks so much for watching! Cactus greetings to Alberta, Canada! 🇨🇦🙌🙏😉👍🌵🪴🌵🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
A treat to watch! I am Southern California transplant and have been restarting my collection on the East Coast now. Always love seeing new plants which I haven't grown before! New subscriber and will look for your actual tour video. Thanks!
Hi! A warm welcome, thank you for subscribing and fantastic to read your awesome comments and feedback. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the tour video too. Best wishes with the rebuilding of your collection! 👍☺️🙌🙏🪴🌵🌿🌵🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Hallo cactus Joe.
And another interesting video.When I am on holiday in Spain and parts of plants are broken off on the ground, I ask if I can take them with me.Most of the time it is not a problem.At the moment I have sown hardy opuntias.They've been growing for two months now.Then I have a few other cacti that were in bloom and I'm trying to grow them from seeds as well.was very annoyed this year in Mallorca when I saw a beautiful, large aloe vera plant on the side of the road. It had simply been thrown away. I tried to save what I could from the plant and gave it a new life. This plant was certainly 15 to 20 years old.Keep up the great videos.
Hallo Holger, super that you are enjoying the videos, thank you for always watching and also for all your interesting and awesome feedback! Growing cacti from seeds and also collecting cuttings is indeed a great way of adding new plants to one's collections. And with cacti, within the EU region is generally not a problem. Enjoy your plants and happy growing of course! 🙌👍🙏😉🌵🪴🌿🌵🌺🌸🌼💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Awesome new additions, Joe 😊 Love the strange looking obesa. Could also possibly be symmetrica? Thank you for sharing with us as always. Have a wonderful evening from Edith & myself and happy growing as always 🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜
Thanks Daz, awesome that you liked the new additions too! Yeah, that Euphorbia remains a bit of an enigma, as the E. symmetrica pictures and descriptions that I have seen are all lacking these distinct sharp ribs, instead all have rounded ones, like the classical E. obesa. But thanks for that suggestion, my friend, I had not considered it before. Sending you and Edith very best regards, hope you are both doing very well ...and wishing you both happy growing of course! 🙌👍☺️🙏🌵🌵🪴🪴🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️🙋♂️
#7: wisilzeni seems correct
So does
Ferocactus grasilis.
It's a beautiful plant to your cactifamilia!
-Maria
Thank you Maria, much appreciated! Indeed, I immediately fell in love with these two Ferocacti when I first saw them at the Matk cactus nursery, lol! I am such a fan! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 🙌🙏👍☺️🪴🌿🌵🌵🌺🌼🌸🙌💚😎☀️🙋♂️
My favorite plant from this haul is the last one. I think the correct name is Ferocactus horridus f. brevispinus I could be wrong.
This plant always reminded me something like a badass in the movies, I dont know why 😀
Brilliant, thank you for your help with the ID of the Ferocactus, much appreciated! Haha, I love the mental image you have implanted into my brain ...the badass character in a movie, lol! Thanks for watching, happy growing!! 🙌🙏☺️👍🌵🪴🌿🌵🌺🌸🌼💚😎☀️🙋♂️
.
Hi Joe😌🙌I love the new Ferocacti🥰👏especially wislizeni. That E. Obesa is fantastic😌💖The shape is beautiful. I love Ceropegias. They always fascinate me. I enjoyed watching🤲🌟
Hi Newman, thank you, really super that you enjoyed watching the video and liked the plants, much appreciated! Yeah, I totally agree, that F. wislizeni is a very special plant, just fabulous! And brilliant also to hear that you too like Ceropegias! I will be sure to show and share the flower if/when it finally is in bloom! 👍🙏😉🙌🪴🌿🌵🌵 🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Danke für das tolle Video.
Sehr gerne, herzlichen Dank auch und ich freue mich sehr über das positive Feedback!🙌🙏👍😉🌵🌵🪴🪴🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Спасибо за ваше очередное видео! Было интересно, как всегда! Прекрасные у вас растения, настоящий дикий лес из кактусов и суккулентов. Вы счастливый человек!
Thank you very much for watching and commenting, I am very happy that you enjoyed the video and also that you liked my plants! Happy growing! 🙏🙌👍😉🌵🪴🌿🌵🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Wow, those Ferocacti are stunning, a great addition to the collection. I've not really seen mini aloes before, the two I have are both large and readily available but it's a family I don't know a lot about. I need to start looking for some more gaps to fill, but it's getting harder and harder! Thanks Joe for another great video 🙂🌵💚
Thank you so much Donald, always nice and so interesting to read your wonderful comments and updates! Yes, there are actually some quite pretty mini Aloe around, worth growing a few as they don't use up too much valuable space, haha! Hope you are having a great week, take care and happy growing of course! 🙌🙏😉🌵🪴🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Wonderful choices I don't see how anyone could just narrow down a few to buy. Amazing collection.
Hahaha, it was not an easy task at all!!! But tthanks so much Linda, brilliant that you enjoyed the collection and video! 🙏👍🙏🙌☺️🌵🌵🪴🌿🌸🌼🌺💚☀️😎🙋♂️
Fabulous choices 👍👍👍
Many thanks Heather, really appreciated! Sending you very best cactus greetings from my little cactus greenhouse and wishing happy growing ! ☺️🙌👍🙏🌵🪴🌵🌿🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Love your collection❤️❤️
Thank you a million, truly appreciated!! Thanks for watching and for your wonderful feedback! Take care, best wishes and happy growing of course! 🙌🙏🙏👍😉🌵🪴🌵🌿🌺🌸🌼💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Hi Joe! I had to go back and watch your Matk nursery tour video a third time because I was not “in” on the idea that you might be buying something there! I feel like I was robbed of the anticipation of wondering what you might have gotten! Now I know why after watching the other video a third time. Matk really did only look like a botanical garden and not a place where plants were for sale. Even after going into that part of the nursery where plants were for sale, the plants looked gigantic and they were still arranged like a garden setting. And you never stopped to pick up any plants while considering buying one. Now that I see your purchases, I am impressed! I have an aloe collection too and I have a lot of my own hybrids I made. After three years, I’m still deciding which ones to keep. I have fewer species aloe, but you might want to consider the mustache aloe in the future if you don’t already have one. Your aloe choices are very nice, but they grow more sideways than up! I love your new Ferocactus! I don’t know which one I like more! I’m jealous! I recently got a Ferocactus fordii that I am looking forward to getting bigger. I love the brown and gray spines that it has. I hope it gets really gnarly. I think I have six Ferocactus now. Oh, and I’m not sure how I feel about taking my wife cactus shopping. On our last outing, she was very supportive and seemed genuinely concerned that I got everything I wanted, but a lot of times I hear similar things like, “who would want to buy a bunch of dried up sticks?” or “ Don’t you already have a cactus just like that?” Thanks for sharing your trip and purchases. I love watching your collection grow and enjoy your enthusiasm for your plants. It rubs off on me! Take care of yourself and your plants!
Thanks so much Terry, fantastic that you enjoyed the video of the nursery and all the plants there! And also of the plants I brought home. Haha, no you indeed did not see me ponder which plants to buy in the video ...but, as I was video filming, I was constantly already on the lookout, haha! Yeah, totally agree with you, Ferocacti are simply AWESOME! Has your Ferocactus fordii flowered yet? Perhaps you saw my recent Shorts video about my fordii and it's first ever bloom? Really interesting also to read about your Aloe collection! Thanks so much for watching and for all the interesting updates in your comments! Wishing you an awesome end of the week and weekend ahead! Happy growing!! 🙌🙏😉👍🌵🍀🌵🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
@@cactusjoe I just went back to watch the fordii short again. I remember when you got that as an early Christmas present to yourself! Mine is very similar in size, but I can't imagine it blooming for awhile. Love those tan spines on those large snowy white aerioles! Thanks for reminding me you had that video.
@TerryJent you are most welcome Terry! 🙌👍☺️🙏🙏🌵🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Love your selection. I would have chosen the same.😊🥰
Wow, that's wonderful, Donna, very happy that you also liked the selection of plants from my visit to the Matk cactus nursery! Thanks so much for watching and for your awesome feedback, much appreciated. Have a great day, and happy growing of course! 🙏🙏🙌👍☺️🌵🪴🌿🌵🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Love the short spined Ferocactus, that one is on my wish list too! I’ve seen them labelled as F. horridus (now peninsulae?) in the past, as well as F. herrarae as you mentioned. Your guess is as good as mine!
Thank you and hope you can find a nice specimen too, of the Ferocactus with the short spines! Haha, indeed I have been diving into the sytematics a bit lately and there are a fair amount of synonymous names around! Anyways, will figure it out, thank you also for your inputs. Thanks for watching and for your comment, much appreciated! Have a wonderful day, happy growing! 👍🙌☺️🙏🌵🌵🌵🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
An incredible video! I really do not know how you could contain yourself from buying more plants (I suppose because you already have many of them. Your collection is amazing).
P.S.: My wife agrees with yours, in fact, her comment was: Those sticks are dry, why does not he throw them away? :)
Thank you Cienciay for your awesome feedback, I am very glad that you like my cactus & succulent collection...yes you are right, I definitely had to really hold myself back hard from buying more of these wonderful plants on sale! If ever you have a chance to visit Berlin, try to make it to this place! Happy growing!
P.S. hahahaha, I had to laugh so hard when I read your message from your wife... btw, my wife agrees with her too and sends her best regards! 😁😉🙏🙌👍☺️🌵🌵🪴🌿🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️🙋♂️
What a great plant haul. I was at my local cactus and succulent society sale yesterday and got a Euphorbia platyclada, is it similar to the Ceropegia that you got?
Hi Patti, thanks, very glad that you enjoyed the plant haul! Ah yes, congrats on your new Euphorbia platyclada, that too is a very special and beautiful looking plant, albeit not at all related to my new Ceropegia. Best wishes and,appy growing! 🙏🙏👍🙌😉🪴🌵🌿🌵🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Nice Joe. There is always a spot for a new one. Great video and beautiful cacti.
Thanks Andy, I totally agree, there will always be a spot for a new one (or two), haha! Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching and commenting! 🙏😉🙌👍🌵🪴🌿🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Hi Joe, enjoyed this very much, of course you got some cacti etc! I like all the cacti you got, and the penny plant, and aloes. Looking behind you I wondered, have you ever counted how many plants you have?! 🌵
Hi there! Really wonderful to read your message and that you enjoyed and liked all the new plants I got from the Matk nursery. I have not counted them recently (...thanks for your reminder, i really need to do that once again, haha) but I am guessing that there will be around 500 cacti and again perhaps around half as many Euphorbia and other succulent plants....yikes, lol! How many plants do you have in your collection? Thanks so much for watching and commenting, much appreciated! Hope you are having a wonderful day! ☺️👍🙌🍀🌵🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Nice plants Joe thanks for sharing
You're welcome, Kim, really happy you liked the new plants too, thanks very much for watching and commenting! 🙏🙏🙌👍😉🌵🪴🌵🪴🌺🌼🌸💚😎☀️🙋♂️
I want to thank you for your videos because of you I you made it a mission for me to find a monkey tail cactus it took me a couple of years but I finally found two at green touch nursery Bellflower California I spotted two of them in a video from cactus quest when he was visiting there. One was more golden color and one that was kinda brown with silver tips is there a name for that different color variation? Maybe you can take a look at them in the video and help me on this. You can see them in the background when they are talking to each other. When I saw them I drove over the next day to see if he would sale them to me. I payed 700.00 for the gold one and 600.00 U.S dollars for the two tone silver one. I never see them in the cactus competition at the cactus shows
You are most welcome, Annette, wow seems like you went through quite an ordeal and quite some expenses there to get hold of your two monkey tail cactus plants, but they sound absolutely gorgeous! And, most importantly, if you are happy with them then that is all that matters ...and I would say you succesfully accomplished your mission! Yeah, they are wonderful cacti and have such beautiful flowers! Hope you are having lot's of fun with your new plants, happy growing! 🙌😉👍🙌🌵🌵🌺🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
Hi Joe. What is the name of the Parodia behind you with an orange flower? I have the same one but can’t find the accurate name for it.
Hi Ana, thanks for watching. The Parodia behind me with the orange-colored blooms is Parodia horstii. Have a wonderful day! 🙌👍☺️🙏🌵🌼💚😎☀️🙋♂️
@@cactusjoethanks Joe!
@@CactusCaffeine you are most welcome Ana ! ...in fact, if you are interested, I posted a shorts video today on exactly that plant of mine:
ruclips.net/user/shorts93JcxNEvSKY
Hallo Joe, wieder ein phantastisches Video! #8 habe ich auch, ungefähr doppelt so groß. Zur genauen Bezeichnung kann ich leider nicht helfen, den gab es mal vor vielen Jahren für 5€ im Kaufland.
Hallo Fezzik, freut mich sehr daß dir das Video gut gefallen hat, und herzlichen Dank dir für das tolle Feedback! Dein Exemplar dieses Ferocactus muss toll aussehen, hat die Pflanze schon einmal geblüht? Ja, gelegentlich macht man bei Supermärkten und Discountern tatsächlich erstaunliche Kakteenfunde, haha! 👍🙌😉🙏🪴🌵🪴🌵🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🙋♂️
@@cactusjoe der Ferro hat leider noch nicht geblüht
Hey Joe, when is the dormant period for Portulacaria Afra?
Hi! I have read that some people suggest the summer months for dormancy (depending on whether you are on the N' or S' hemisphere?)...but I keep mine dormant, so cool and relatively dry, throughout the winter months... together with my cacti... here on the N' hemisphere. 🙌🙏👍☺️🪴🌿🌵🌺🌼🌸💚☀️😎🙋♂️
