Just seeing this video, was amazing to see so many cacti and succulents at a nursery in Australia! I have seen others in Australia that have awesome cactus gardens! I hope to make it down there some day. I hope you do a video on some of the eco tourism places in Australia that really showcase what Australia has to offer! Keep up the great videos!
Good for you right now... youre going into growth season. Im in the States in the northern hemisphere, so my plants are all in their dormancies for winter.
Undoubtedly, the absolute best, most informative succulent, cacti, and caudiciform RUclips channel and indispensable source for deep knowledge on these plants. This is brought to you by a passionate expert host who lives and breathes what he speaks and deserves to be a household name in horticulture. Binge-watching Arid Zine videos is one of the best ways you could spend an evening.
I just discovered your channel. I live in California where cacti and succulents are common. I don't associate cacti with Australia, that's why it's so interesting to see your perspective. I'm really looking forward to watching more of your videos.
I so enjoy your videos. So much information I glean from your videos. Loved this trip to see all these beauties!! I live in Montana USA where we have 4 seasons. Very cold in winter. I adore C/S. I tend to go for the odd ones. I can only grow them in pots due to cold climate. However, I do have a couple of windows that give lots of light. Thank you for your channel!!
Awesome job friend!! I discovered your channel recently, and im obsesed. In 2024 i started my cactus collection and im a begginer. You are helping me to learn a lot of new things and showing me a lot of new plants. Thanks for sharing your knowdeledge with us. Greatings from Argentina
Wow what a cool place 🌵😳🌱 Did you ask Erin about that Ceropegia, I wonder what it is? Those Copiapoa’s looked as very nice specimens of hasseltonia 🌵🌵 Thanks for sharing, wish we had nurseries like this one in Denmark 🇩🇰 instead I order stuff from all over the globe 🌏
I think in the end we decided it was a Ceropegia stapeliformis. Very cool plant! And thanks for the Copiapoa ID. I’m trying to grow some from seed, but they’re so slow and look nothing like their final mature form so I’ve still got lots to learn.
What an amazing Nursery! I have never seen that species of Ficus Indica? Even in Santa Rosa California at the Luther Burbank Home and Gardens they do not have this specie. I think it’s looks like a Opuntia robusta without the spines🌵
I don’t know much about it but I believe that the spineless ficus-indica was one of Burbank’s signature breeding successes. Either way, they’re very beautiful plants.
I am starting to create a dry garden at my home in New Caledonia (we are "neighbors"). I live in a part of the island where opuntia and acanthocereus grow naturally and are even invasive. I have created a 30cm high growing bed made of 60% river sand and 30% topsoil. I have added compost to the planting holes. I hope to be able to create something durable and aesthetically pleasing. I also hope that the tropical rains that are coming will not ruin everything. Your videos are very informative.
Ceiba Speciosa is SO cool! For the xanthorrhoea sp., do the new owners continue to subject them to bush fires artificially? Or does living in a suburban garden mean they're not likely to be subject to bush fires, and then their appearance near the top will change? My favorite one to see was the kalanchoe beharensis! So so pretty! I like plants with leaves that look like ruffles. I also loved the euphorbia polygona 'snowflake' and many others. Thank you so much for the identifications and the context like estimating how old some of the plants are. It definitely makes me feel like I am growing my cactus knowledge. You should go back to Cactus Vision more times to see if they have new things! Seriously so cool, thank you for sharing with us!!
Glad you enjoyed it! You know, I was going to say that the grass trees don’t get exposed to fire after they leave habitat… and then just today, I saw a Cactus Vision story on Instagram where they were applying a blow torch to one of them! That’s not something that would typically happen in a garden though. And I’ll definitely be back at some point!
Wow fantastic and amazing I live in the desert and have so many cactus and succulents (tropical plants indoors) These cacti were amazing and beautiful Subscribed (:
I was expecting the owner to look eccentric and dress in a whacky cactus and succulent themed outfit. Instead they look pretty normal. If I owned such a collection, you can bet that I'll look crazy. Lol
I love love your RUclips channel. I love here in Idaho in the United States. We have a high desert climate. Very hot summers but cold Winters. Can you do a episode on cacti and succulents that can take cold weather?
Nice plants there! I'm from Mexico and here is so incredible see the cactus in their habitat... Can i suggest something? Could you show us succulents from Australia?
Wow those prices are all easily more than 10 times higher than what you'd see in the US. I'm surprised tho because we can buy cacti hybrids online from Asia that are very cheap and import them, so wondering why it wouldn't be even cheaper for anyone there to do the same since you're so close geographically. It's nice to see a good variety available there and a growing interest in cacti is always a good thing! Great content!
Our prices are probably super inflated because it’s a pretty niche scene, and import controls over plants are prohibitive. It’s either super expensive or super illegal to bring plants into the country.
My crazy thought is to have windowsils full of lithops 🤪🥴🤤 Its interesting how cactus people are different. We love different forms of cactus. Some loves those strange formed, some no. I aleays search those bluisch grey or pink cactuses and succulents. Thank You for enother great video! 😊😊
Awesome selection and great video! I have a mother Baronii 'budda belly' that has produced fertile seeds (they explode too!) and several friends now have one! The silk floss tree was beautiful in my San Diego garden, but a mess after blooming and the seed pods! Curious if you bought anything? I would have had a tough time just picking one or two!
I ended up buying a very cool hand made pot - they had heaps of plants but I barely have space for the things I’ve already got. A pot will serve me well though!
@@AridZine you're correct but it seems like Bunnings is more focused on the plant hobby than home depot. Or atleast every time I hear them mentioned people are getting supplies for their indoor plants from them. Home Depot is more home improvement and building materials with a gardening section.
Apart from a few raw materials - I buy some of my soil components there - I find the quality of almost everything plant related at Bunnings quite awful. I also like to support local nurseries and small growers where possible.
@@AridZine oh my.... they have more in common with Home Depot than I thought 🤣 their garden materials are often just big time garbage name brands. When I can find the Mom & Pop stores they usually have very good quality product.
Love your videos,have learned so much from you. I live in Uk,its cold/winter here now but my banana plants didn't go dormant this year,just kept growing with the same speed. Not sure what to think/do. Do you have any advice ?
I’m going to visit Cactus Vision soon - thanks for this video. It looks like an amazing place. Can’t wait to see what they’ve got!
I love your videos man! I’m starting to have a collection of cactus and succulents. You’re like Steve Irwin but plants
A humbling comparison! Appreciate it. Hit me up if you ever have any questions about your growing collection.
Great to see a nursery specializing in C & S. They have some unusual & healthy specimens too. I hope they do well.
Agreed!
2:50 Love the twig n berries! "Every garden needs a phallus!" - Laura Eubanks. Great video with amazing plants! ❤

Wow, what an amazing place! Love living vicariously through your cacti adventures as I'm a bit limited in rainy northern England!
Appreciate it! Still feels very niche down here but I’m doing my best to explore it as much as I can!
Such a variety if flowers and olants for sure.
I'm stunned and looking forward for more.
The seller is conversant though with ehat down with us
I totally agree! Cheers
Good for you right now... youre going into growth season. Im in the States in the northern hemisphere, so my plants are all in their dormancies for winter.
You’re right.. that’s why I like to grow a few winter growing plants to keep me amused over the off season 😀

I’m glad you found me! It’s certainly a very niche hobby down here… but our climate is perfect for it
I so enjoy your videos. So much information I glean from your videos. Loved this trip to see all these beauties!! I live in Montana USA where we have 4 seasons. Very cold in winter. I adore C/S. I tend to go for the odd ones. I can only grow them in pots due to cold climate. However, I do have a couple of windows that give lots of light.
Thank you for your channel!!
I’m glad you’re enjoying the channel! Montana would be a tough spot to care for them, but sounds like you’ve got it figured out. Cheers.
Thanks your sharing, I will go there to have a look in coming Dec
You’ll have a great time!

How amazing ,never seen many of yr cacti in greece .
Really love to visit u one day, thks .
Cheers! Thanks for watching 🤘🤘
Man I absolutely love your channel, and have learned so much. Your vibe is also super relaxing. Keep doing what you do.
Glad you’re enjoying it, and glad it’s relaxing! Thanks so much for tuning in

Haha yeah my wardrobe is filled with all sorts of cactus themed stuff… I know what you’re saying 😂😂
That looks like a very cool place and one where you could end up spending a lot of money. 🌵
Yeah lots of self control required!
I love love your RUclips channel. I love here in Idaho in the United States. We have a high desert climate. Very hot summers but cold Winters. Can you do a episode on cacti and succulents that can take cold weather?
I’ll have a look into the topic. As you can imagine it’s not something that I’ve needed to consider before, so some research required!
another great video...
Thanks mate!
Love your videos. I’m a fellow cacti lover and collector. Also, would one to see some black shirts with your latest design.
Black shirts… I’ll see what I can knock together. Thanks
Nice plants there! I'm from Mexico and here is so incredible see the cactus in their habitat... Can i suggest something? Could you show us succulents from Australia?
Absolutely! I will hopefully record an episode on Australian succulents in the next few weeks

What a treat! Thank you for this tour!

Cheers! Appreciate it
Very informative clip. Great work!
Appreciate it! 🤘🤘
Great! Did you mange to leave without buying one or more? Respect!
I ended up buying a very cool hand-made pot. The plants were amazing but I barely have the space for the ones I already own 😅
I didn't think we were allowed to sell Opuntia in Australia. Maybe it is just WA.
As far as I know, O. ficus-indica is the one exception to the rule; it’s grown quite widely as a fruit crop which is probably the reason behind it.
I wish we had Bunnings in America
I get the impression it’s just an Australian interpretation of Home Depot. Could be way off the mark though!

Hermosos cactus 🌵

Glad you’re enjoying the channel! Unfortunately don’t have much experience with bananas… can’t be of much help I’m afraid!
YT needs to add a tab where you can mute the music....
Not a fan of the music hey? Thanks for the feedback 🤘🤘
🌵✌💚
🤘🤘
What zone are you in
We don’t really use the concept of zones down here, so I had to look it up. Sydney is apparently in zone 11a.
We don't have zones in Australia but I do believe there is conversion chart somewhere out there so you can find out.
@@AridZineoh how did you find that?? And is it of any use??
I just Googled it.. i don’t actually know anything about zones though so I could be way off.
I think the copiapoa's are haseltoniana's
Perfect! Thanks for the ID - I was heading vaguely in the right direction.
🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵

3rd group here
I’m sure there are many of us!
Antarctica is the driest continent ;)
You know… that factoid was running through my head even as I uttered those words… and I knew someone would call me out on it 😂😂
@AridZine I think habitable was the key word missing, although there's some penguins that would disagree
Sheesh.. Wish I could find an abdelkuri for sale in NZ!
Surprised they’re not around… they were barely available here several years ago, now they’re all over the place online.
very impressive, not a good place to take kids :)
Haha 100%
