  • Today we head down to Riverside California to connect with my buddy Adam Baker (@Bakersuccs on Instagram) to see his new Astrophytum greenhouse. Astrophytum is a genus of generally spinesless cacti that occur from south Texas in the case of Astropytum asterias to San Luis Potosí Mexico where you'll find various species including Astrophytum myriostigma. He shares some very useful tips and tricks for your greenhouse container garden. At the very least its fantastic eye candy. Adam is rad dude and wanna thank him for taking the time to link with me!

    His greenhouse is organized in such a way that you can see all of the subtle nuances in each cultivar. The way he arranges and pots everything is also very aesthetically pleasing.

    nice set up! discreet, yet he got some bangers in there! that medusae in the blue pot! i have a hard time with astro up here in PA. we get so much humidity and i think that's what kills them for me. they start off from seed good. but damp off way too easy for me. i have a couple pots of 2 yr old asterias from seed and they still haven't woke up yet and summer is almost over. i have a grafted astro that is the size of a small pumpkin lol. it thrives. nice plants, Adam. thanks for the video.

    • @CactusQuest
      @CactusQuest  10 месяцев назад

    • @CactusQuest
      @CactusQuest  10 месяцев назад +1

      I will agree for the most part with Risen there. You certainly could grow these in Baja with very few issues I would imagine - the climate is good the rain is a bit out of season for astros in Baja but I would imagine they may adapt well particularly if you put them into the ground

    hi. I have a question. I grow roomplants. Most of them are succulents. The location is at a northwest window. In theory this is a bad location because of the lagg of light. They get about 4 hours of sunlight during summer and weak light during winter. I try to not fertilize them from oktober till april and only water them 5 to 6 times during this time which actually is a good solution and makes most of them grow ordinary. If some of them do grow long leaves to find light I turn them so they grow evenly and if necessesary cut them. I cant stop watering them completly because temperatures only change about 5 degress celcius in my room over the year which is about 40 degress fahrenheit. I am looking for as succulent that can bloom under these conditions. If anybody has an idea let me know.
