Awesome haul Daz! I really enjoyed this video. Getting cacti on your wishlist was so cool but getting a free one was truly amazing! Great root systems all around but I really liked seeing them being potted. Also what made the video perfect was the closeup pictures at the end. There I could really appreciate their beauty. Thanks for sharing. Sending you and Edith peace, love and happiness for a wonderful weekend my friend!
Thank you so much as always, Jeff 😊 Yeah it’s always nice when you get a freebie plant included, especially a nice Copiapoa like that one. Glad you enjoyed the video my friend. Have a wonderful day and weekend from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌺🌼🏜

Thank you so much, Lyn 😊 Couldn’t resist the urge to add some more to the collection, there’s always room for a few more haha. Thank you for watching and commenting as always, Lyn. Have a wonderful Sunday from Edith & myself to you and Hans ❤️🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
That's a wonderful unboxing video Daz! So beautiful and healthy looking plants! thanks for sharing these beauties. Have a wonderful afternoon and evening Daz and Edith. Wish you both a great weekend!
Thank you so much, Sylvia 😊 I need to stop buying plants for a bit now though, but hard to resist sometimes haha. Thank you for watching and commenting as always. Have a wonderful day and weekend from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜
Hey Daz, those are four really AWESOME new additions to your collection, very well picked my friend! Beautiful to see both the dark- as well as green-coloured forms of E. occulta next to each other! Thanks for sharing and wishing you and Edith both a wonderful weekend !! Take care and happy growing of course!!👍👍🌵🌵🏵🌺💚😎
Thank you so much, Joe 😊 Yeah it was nice the seller had both variations for sale. I did pay a bit over the odds for these, but when you really want a certain plant it doesn’t matter haha. Thank you for watching and commenting my friend. Have a wonderful day and weekend from Edith & myself and happy growing 👍🏻🌵🌺🌼☀️🌸🏜
Most enjoyable, entertaining,and informative, as always. Nature's colours enhanced by your imaginative contrast, An added bonus to your collection for all of us to Enjoy, thanks as always, Bill.
Cor, love a good Copiapoa 😎 Love the Eriosyce too, would go well together with a Sulcorebutia rauchii 🙂 Melon Spurge looks great, sounds like a good time in a pick your own farm 😁 Have a lovely Saturday my friend 😊😊🌵🌵
Haha thank you so much, Ziggy 😅 Plantlifecactus recently listed a couple more, both purple and green varieties. Think they have a few Copiapoa as well. Thank you for watching and commenting as always my friend. Have a lovely evening from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
Great plants Daz!!! The meloformis is on my list also. I lost mine a couple of years ago. This is another plant that used to be common to find. Much rarer now!!! Like Astrophytums & cephalocereus senlis. All hard to find now!! copiapoa on the list also!! Thanks for sharing these beautiful plants with us Daz!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, to the UK 🇬🇧 and Singapore 🇸🇬 have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love,!!!✌️💖🌵🍀🌻🌳🌱🌾🥀🌷🌴🌹🪴💐😃👍
Thank you so much, Clyde 😊 Yeah the meloformis was easier to find here in the past, although some people keep selling other Euphorbia like pulvinata as meloformis, can get annoying sometimes. Hope you manage to find one soon again. Thank you for watching and commenting as always my friend. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself to you and Deb 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
Thank you so much, Anders 😊 Yeah a greenhouse tour will be coming very soon as I’ve recently took all the plants back in there 👍🏻 Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a wonderful day and weekend from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌺🌸🏜
Thank you so much 😊 I love filming the cinematics, although sometimes they can take a little while to get ready and set up. Glad you enjoy Serge Pavkin’s music, too. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
Beautiful selection of Neue, Cacti and Euphorbia. I meant to ask this, but I kept forgetting. What does the number mean in your compost? I keep seeing #1 or #2 or something on the John Innes (?) compost
Thank you so much, Ana 😊 The John Innes compost here is numbered from #1 to #3. #1 is more of a seed sowing compost with low levels of nutrients. #2 contains moderate levels of fertilizer and is the main one cactus growers in the UK use, and #3 contains the highest levels of fertilizer and is suitable for mature plants growing in pots, such as shrubs, small trees, perennials, and conifers. Thank you for watching and commenting as always, Ana. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜☕️
Ah, I thought the numbers determine how fine or course the mix is. Lol! It did not even occur to me that it is according to the amount of fertilizer in it. Thanks for the info, Daz!
Great video as always Daz. What is the depth of the 7 cm square pots? Also if you don’t mind what is the particle size of the potting soil ingredients? I am located in a small rural town in Australia and have to buy all my ingredients on line. And finally what is the Johnies No 2 compost like? Thanks for sharing such useful information I have only recently started my cacti journey and find your videos very helpful. Best wishes to you and Edith.
Thank you so much, Ted 😊 The depth of these pots are 7.5cm. Particle size ranges from about 2mm to 4mm. John Innes compost is good most of the time. You can occasionally get unlucky and get a bag of it with a lot of trash in, but here in the UK it’s a popular choice for cacti and succulents because of it being loam based, meaning it’s more sandy rather than having peat in it. Good luck on your cactus journey, but be warned, it can get very addictive haha. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a wonderful day and rest of the weekend from Edith & myself 👍🏻🌵☀️🌼🌺🏜
I shall forgive you for breaking your promise for the nth time of not buying any more plants. 😂 You have been working so hard in the garden lately and that is very evident with all the marks on your hands and arms. Well done getting those lovely plants, Sweetheart! Awesome cinematic at the end. Now no more buying of plants! 😆 ❤😍💚
Thank you so much my love 🥰 Haha yeah after those nettles and brambles assaulted me I deserved a few more plants 😅 I can’t promise I won’t buy anymore, but I’ll try my best haha. Enjoyed watching with you as always babe. Thank you for all your love, support and encouragement ❤️🥰🌵🌸❤️
Really stunning plants and good quality, some of the stuff i get sent here in DK are rotten mummies :x. What do you do for initial pest control and quarantine ? Best regards from Denmark :)
Thank you 😊 Initial pest control is just a simple case of keeping any new plants isolated away from the main collection for a week or two. After they get their first watering they’ll be protected with the systemic pesticide I told you about the other day. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻🌵☀️🌺🌼🏜
I have just bought some plants from plantlifecactus and got a free one too! I got a Mammillaria kewensis 'inermis' for free! Which is helping to grow my Mammillaria collection 😁
That’s awesome, Tracy 😁 Yeah I think they always pop a freebie in depending on how many you’ve won or the price. Thank you for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
Thank you 😊 For these I used zeolite but also use lava rock, molar clay, grit or limestone chips for others. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜
Hi, Peter. I’ve been using it for a while now. I only switched to it because at the time the place I get all my substrates from had no lava rock in stock. It pretty much has the same properties as lava rock so I just kept using it. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌺🌼🏜
Thank you Daz, it's supposed to be really good at releasing nutrients for the roots too. I've got some left over from aquarium filtration. Might use it next time I repot.

Hi Daz. When did you start using Zeolite in your mix?

@@peterkeightley4256 Yeah the plants do seem to be doing very well with it in their mix. Looks nice as a top dressing, too 😊🌵☀️🌼🏜
