Spring is here! First buds, blooms & cactus watering in my collection

- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Finally, Spring is here! The first buds and flowers have appeared on some of my early bird cacti and other succulent plants, including Mammillaria, Thelocactus, Rebutia, Astrophytum, Neoporteria, Disocactus, Rhipsalis, Aloe, Euphorbia and Senecio! I am showing you some of these first buds and blooms from my greenhouse cactus and succulent plant collection. I have also started watering - ever so slightly and carefully - many of my plants for the very first time this growing season. They have been standing very cool and dry since back in October of last year, sleeping through their dormancy period! Please join me for a short tour and early Spring update from my cactus & succulent collection!
Enjoy the video!

Hello Cactus Joe, I'm new to your channel. This is an outstanding video! The flowers at the end are awesome! The cacti you showed with buds are all beautiful! It's exhilarating and exciting waiting to see the beautiful flowers. I have 10 cacti and 7 succulents and they all live in my dining room window. Also I live in Georgia - USA. Thanks for the wonderful video and I hope you have a great weekend!
Hello Jeff, thank you and a warm welcome to my channel, great to have you on board!! Thank you so much for your awesome feedback and comments, I'm so happy that you have enjoyed the video, plants and flowers. Sounds like you have a very nice collection of cacti and other succulents yourself, and that's brilliant that you are able to grow them in your dining room window! I did exactly the same for quite a few years also, and cacti & succulents are the perfect plants for that! Sending you lot's of cactus & succulent greetings from Bavaria, Germany to Georgia, USA - hope you are having a wonderful weekend, take care and happy growing of course!! 👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
Wow! Your plants are indeed awake. So many flower buds already forming! Spring here is very late. Our weather is still very cold, very unusual in here. I’m looking forward to your flowers, Joe! Happy spring. 🌵🌼🌵🌸
Thanks so much, Ana, Happy Spring to you too! Yes, from your videos I gather that you have had some unusually cool weather so far, hopefully it turns back to normal soon again. We have been having a bit of a rollercoaster with the temps here, one day frost and cold, next warm and sunny, always lot's and lot's of rain, etc. So it has been a bit of a challenge to time the watering and also plants I think are still hesitant to really get going, haha! Thanks so much for watching and for commenting, appreciated!! Hope you are having a very nice weekend, best wishes and happy growing of course!! 👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
These blooms-to-be are a real treat after a long, cold winter. 🌺🌵😄
Hey Justin! Thanks so much, really appreciated, so glad that you enjoyed them! Indeed after the long, dark and cold winter months it's so good to slowly start up again and I'm sooo looking forward to all the blooms of the new growing season!! I bet you are too, haha!! Thanks for watching and commenting, sending you loads of cactus greetings for an awesome weekend ahead!!👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
Wonderful video, Joe. You guys with lots of flowers must look forward to seeing what the next day will bring. Thanks for your time with this.
Thanks so much Bill, as always very much appreciated, and very happy that you enjoyed the video!! Haha, indeed we are slowly moving into that time of the year where there are always new surprises and blooms to discover. Funny enough, they usually come in phases and so there are a few very busy days with lot's of blooms at once, followed by a quieter period again, and so on, probably driven by the weather. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend, sending you lot's of cactus greetings, take care and happy growing of course!!👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
You're going to have a beautiful display of flowers this year Joe😊🤲💖
Thank you very much, Newman, much appreciated as always!! It's still very early days, but so far the plants appear to be coming alone nicely, shifting from dormancy into growth and blooming mode! Hope also your collection is doing well, awaking to the famous and wonderful Japanese Spring! Have a great weekend ahead! 👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
Enjoy the weekend Joe😌🙏And, yes my cacti have buds and they had their first light watering a few weeks ago, tomorrow I need to water again
When watching a video about cacti, I can't help but feel amazed and in awe of their wild beauty. Cacti with their rough branches and delicate leaves exude life and toughness of the desert. I feel like I'm drawn to their resilience and uniqueness.
It's fascinating to know that cacti can survive in some of the harshest conditions on earth, where water is scarce and humidity is low. They can also exist in dry and sandy environments. This shows that life can thrive in places where we think it's impossible.
Witnessing the uniqueness and vitality of cacti makes me feel impressed and more respectful of nature. We need to preserve and protect their habitats so that they can continue to exist and flourish in this world.
Hi!! A warm thank you for your awesome feedback, I completely agree with the points you make! Btw, a really nice channel you have too, have subscribed! Have a great day and happy growing!!🙏👍😊🌵🌵🌱🏵🌺🌼💚😎
that stampferi and longiflora,... variations of? Those are some fine plants, my brother!
Hey Mark! Thanks so much, very happy that you liked the plants! Indeed these two Mammillaria are quite closely related - in fact, M. longiflora is the "type species" and the other one is now called M. longiflora ssp. stampferi as it is considered simply a subspecies that grows at much higher altitude locations (2600 m). Have a great day, take care and happy growing!!
The blooms on cacti are much prettier, than other blooming plants. I'm new to this and it just amazes me. Cacti are so very interesting!!!
Hi Jena, haha, indeed they are pretty special aren't they?! There's no end to the variations of colors, shaps and sizes!! And brilliant, sounds like you have really caught the cactus bug, lol!! Very best wishes for a great start up of all of your cacti & succulents into the new growing season too! Have a wonderful weekend, take care and happy growing of course!! 👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
SPRING BLING MAKE THE CACTUS SING!
...WHICH IS WHY I'VE STARTED WATERING! 👍😅Haha, LOVE your cactus rap rhyme, thanks so much for watching and commenting, Wim! Have a great day and happy growing!👍🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
Yeah Joe, I can hear them now... ahhhh! Yes quite a few are blooming now in the greenhouse!! And plants outside!! My favorite time in the greenhouse!! Just fed a few today. Can't wait to put some out!! Some of the bigger cactus I won't feed till I can get them into full sun. Don't want any etiolation. I don't think it's intense enough yet. Soon I will put agaves out and opuntias first. Since they are a little more cold hardy. Love that strombocactus!!! Really nice!!! My aloe humulis has already bloomed, looks like yours isn't far away!!! Thanks for sharing your wonderful plants Joe!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, out to Bavaria, Germany 🇩🇪 have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🥀🌿🌷🌱💐🌴🌹🌳🍀🌻🌾🪴🌸😃👍
Hey Clyde, it's really fantastic, as always, to read all your awesome comments and super interesting updates from your own collection too!! Yep, haha, you're spot on, there were indeed real loud sipping and slurping sounds in the greenhouse when I watered for the first time after the long dormancy period, lol!! Sending you loads of cactus flower greetings from Bavaria, Germany to Morris Park in the Ozarks, USA, have an awesome week ahead my friend!!😊🙏🙏👍👍🌵🌵🌵🌱🌺🌺🌼💚😎
Wowowowow, Joe! Such beauties! Annnnddddd congratulations on reaching the 1000 subscriber milestone 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks so much, Jenny, really appreciated! Very happy that you enjoyed the plants with their Spring buds and first blooms! Have a wonderful week ahead, take care and wishing you Happy Spring of course!!🙏👍😊🌵🌺🌵💚😎
Great video very informative,Stunning collection..Thank you !!...
Hello Allan! Brilliant, really very happy that you enjoyed the video and plant collection, thanks so much for watching and for your awesome feedback, much appreciated!! 🙏👍😊🌵🌵🌱🌺💚😎
You are more than welcome,Thank you...
Great video thanks Joe
In the southern hemisphere this period of time is also important as many summer rainfall plants make use of the last autumn rain for a bit of growth before the winter dormancy
The winter rain fall plants also start waking up now so spring and autumn times are important with alot of growth
Hope the spring and summer goes well cheers Andrew
Thanks so much Andrew, for watching and for your awesome comments, so interesting to read from you how very special this time also is for growers on the southern hemisphere! Especially because so many of our plants here in our collections of course are originally from there! So happy that you enjoyed the video and wishing you a sucessful fall transition period with all of your plants! Enjoy the weekend ahead and happy growing of course!!👍😊🙏🙏🌵🌱🌵🌺🏵🌺💚😎
Cor, you're well ahead of us Joe, must be that you're closer to the rising sun 😄 Nice to see buds on your Strombocactus, mine hasn't woken up yet. Great video my friend 😎😎🌵🌵
Many thanks Ziggy, very happy that you enjoyed the video! Yes indeed, that one hour closer to the sunrise every day must really add up and makes all the difference, lol!!! The weather is still pretty unstable and random here too, one day mild, next day frost, and loads and loads of rain! Keeping my fingers crossed for wonderful cactus blooms your side very soon too! Cheers, have an awesome weekend my friend!👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
Thank you for sharing with us this amazing video Joe! All your succulents and cactus looks amazing! I adore cactus flowers. Greetings from Albania 🇦🇱
Many thanks Elda, as always very much appreciated! I also always look forward to all the beautiful blooms on your channel, you have such amazing flowers featured in your videos all the time too! Very best wishes to you in Albania, have a wonderful weekend!!👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
Your cactuses and succulents are so beautiful,thanks for letting us see them.
Hi Tom, I'm really very happy that you enjoyed the video and plants, thanks as always very much for watching and commenting, much appreciated!! Wishing you an awesome weekend ahead!!👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
Everything looks amazing, very exciting time with all the buds, great video as always, and the soundtrack is not bad at all!!👍👍
Hey David! Really happy that you enjoyed the video and all the buds & flowers, many thanks, much appreciated as always! And, haha, awesome that you did not find the soundtrack too bad either - after that long, dreary and dark winter I thought we needed a bit of an upbeat driving funky rhythm for a change, to underpin the exciting times coming, lol! Thanks again as always and sending you loads of cactus greetings for a great weekend ahead, best wishes, take care and happy growing of course!👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
Beautiful!
Thanks Marcha, very much appreciated! So happy you liked it! 👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
Wow your setup is very cool looks like a botanical garden with them being in that large table bed. That strobocactus is amazing... was talking to @Ziggy's Cactus Channel about his. Great video
We were you know 😄😄
@Modern Grower thanks so much, appreciated! Very happy that you like the setup with the large table bed. I was planning to feature that one in a dedicated video one of these days, so stay tuned please, haha! Also very glad that you liked the Strombocactus! Haha, indeed, Ziggy is growing some of these too and he has an awesome old specimen, which he and I have been chatting about too, haha - it's indeed a wonderfully connected cactus community here on RUclips, which I really enjoy! Enjoy your day, and thanks again!👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
Haha, brilliant Ziggy!
@@cactusjoe I would definitely love to see a video in which you cover your cactus bed, everything seems beautifully arranged! 🌵🌷
Also a 'total tour' of your entire greenhouse would be a great video idea I think (maybe even a video 'series' given the size of your collection 😄😉). Of course we always see parts of your collection in the videos, but it would certainly be interesting to see it in more detail :)
Have a wonderful Friday evening and a great weekend ahead! The Easter holidays started today, which means I can relax a bit now (here in Hesse they are 3 weeks this year) 😅😉
@@jacobsiebert2204 thanks so much, great suggestions and ideas there, Jacob! Will definitely plan these videos in the not-too-distant future! Enjoy your well-deserved, long Easter break!! When do you have your Abi exams coming? Hope you are having a relaxing Sunday, best wishes, take care and happy growing of course!! Liebe Grüße, Joe 😊🌵🌵👍😎
Awesome video, Joe. I’ve had to start giving the plants their first watering as well. I was trying to delay until after my Singapore trip but that’s not until the end of April and into May, they can’t wait that long unfortunately. Can’t wait for all the blooms 😁 Thank you for sharing with us as always my friend. Have a wonderful evening and weekend from Edith & myself and happy growing 🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜
Many thanks, Daz, much appreciated as always!! Yep, makes sense for you to start watering, as end April / May would indeed be too late. Do you have someone to look after your collection while you are away? If I was just a wee bit closer I would of course happily offer to "cactus-sit", haha! Hope you are having a great weekend my friend, very best regards to you and Edith, enjoy your Sunday, and indeed, happy growing of course!!👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
@@cactusjoe Haha yeah I’ll have someone who can check on them. I won’t put any back into the greenhouse until I’m back, though. That’s a little risky just in case there is another cold snap while I’m away 🌵🌸🌼🌺☀️🏜
Hello Joe! You have lots of buds just working on becoming those beautiful flowers. I actually have one plant with a bud on it...I am so excited...I go check on it every day!! Have a great day!!!
Hello Cheryl, thanks so much!! WOW, that is excellent to hear about your cacti starting up with buds now too...there has to be a first one, and I'm sure it will be followed by many more to come!! Hope you too are having a great day, and wishing you an awesome Friday & weekend ahead!!👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
Some cacti can take many years to flower. A saguaro can take 35 years before blooms. So patience is key.
Happy Spring Joe! NE USA and we woke up to snow on the ground and a high of 44 degrees today but my plants are showing lots of signs of new growth. Can't wait to see your buds opened to full bloom. What a show!
Thank you and Happy Spring to you too, Molly! Wow, sounds like the weather you are having is still struggling a bit to move into full Spring mode, haha, but it is quite the same here, a constant and quick change between snow, frost, sunshine, mild, cold and lot's and lot's of rain! Wonderful, your plants are clearly also coming along, slowly moving out of their dormancy mode with lot's of signs of new growth which is brilliant!! Have an awesome weekend ahead, take care and best wishes!👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
WOWSERS AWESOME Spring update Joe :-D and thats so exciting you have buds on so many of your plants already, and beautiful Epiphyllum bloom, your plants are way ahead of ours, many of our Succulents and Epiphyllums are showing signs of buds, but most of all our desert cacti are still snoozing the laid back Irish way haha, its so good to get starting with the first watering of the year, and its so good to start them up with a pre water to wake them up, the weather has warmed up a lot here too thank goodness, I haven't watered any of my desert cacti in the polytunnel yet but hope to make a start on them very soon with a bit of pre watering too, thanks so much for sharing this fantastic update with us, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Bavaria for a wonderful afternoon XXXX
Thanks very much, Lyn, glad you enjoyed the video!! Haha, indeed mine were all snoozing until about 10 days ago too, and then suddenly (...it took only 2 or 3 sunny days!) there was a real rumble in the shed and out of nothing, buds started popping up on a whole series of plants, as shown in the video!! Great to hear that you also do a bit of a pre-watering to start off, before the actual, proper watering starts sometime in April. The weather here has been (and continues to be...) really unstable, a few days mild then frost again, then tons of rain, then cool, then warm, everything really. So it has been difficult for the plants to really get going so far....but it is now just a matter of time, and then, we will probably jump immediately from winter-like straight into full-summer with lot's of heat and draught again, lol!! Thanks again and sending you and Hans the very best cactus greetings from Bavaria to the wonderful Emerald Isle for a lovely Thursday evening and Friday + weekend ahead!! Plant Power & Happy Growing!!! 👍🙏🌵🌵🌱🏵🌼🌻💚😎
@@cactusjoe XXXXX ❤❤❤❤😃😃😃😃😃🌵🌵🌵
Hello Cactus Joe, So many flower buds and it is north over. The weather is still very cold here i Sweden. I have give little water, began in mars and I give one time per week. I have Astrophytum Capricorne Echinopsis, Sulcorebutia, Parodia and Turbinicarpus. I feel very inspired.
Michael Jacobsson
Hello Michael, thanks so much for watching and for commenting, I really appreciate your feedback and it is very intersting to read about your experiences growing cacti in Sweden! Yes, I can imagine that the weather is still a little bit colder than it is here for me in southern Germany, but it is excellent to hear that you have also started to water your cacti a little bit every week too! It sounds like you have some wonderful plants in your collection and I am so happy that you feel inspired and that you enjoyed the video, thank you! Best wishes to you and happy growing!!☺👍🌵🌱🌵🏵🌻🌺💚😎
Spring sun is cooking my greenhouse and spring frost making plant think it is winter still
Hi Anders, indeed this transition in early Spring always is a bit of a challenging time, I currently have exactly the same issue as you nicely describe...so what I do is open the greenhouse windows or even door a bit during the daytime, to stop temps rising too high. Do you have an automatic window opener (hydraulic, fluid in piston) installed? That helps quite well, I find. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend, best of luck with the temperature regulating! 👍🙏😊🌵🌵💚😎
Wunderbar \0
Danke schön! 👍🌵
😊I loved this video!! So many gorgeous blooms!! I've just recently bought some small cactus and succulents. Only one is currently blooming but the pale purple blossoms are very pretty! It is a mammillaria matudae, I think. I'm eager for others to bloom! Are you located in Europe? I'm in Colorado, USA.
Hi Cherie, thanks so much for your lovely feedback, I'm very happy that you enjoyed the video and cactus blooms! It sounds like you have started with a very nice collection of plants, I love Mammillaria matudae! Keeping my fingers crossed that you are rewarded by your plants with many beautiful blooms to come! Lot's of cactus greetings from my little succulent greenhouse in Bavaria, southern Germany to Colorado, USA!! 🙏👍😊🌵🌵🌱🏵🌺🌼🌺💚😎
