Wow Nicole, that cactus is on my wish list. My son 3-D printed me a boobie planter, and when I get one of those cacti it is going in that planter, lol. I hope that you had a wonderful Valentine's Day, sending a hugs and love, bye for now.
So funny this video popped up right after I finished messaging with a local nursery who had one in stock!!! Going to pick it up tomorrow!! It is $75 which is sooo much but it’s worth it to find it local!
Have you tried mixing a little Ceylon Cinnamon in the top layer of soil to stop fungus gnats? It worked great with my Alocasia Amazonica and some terrarium plants. Doesn’t seem to affect the plant at all.
I love your new Boob Cactus. It looks so amazing. I wish I could have cactus but I do not have enough light for them :( But now I can enjoy all your cactus so I would love more Cactus videos so I can enjoy them :). Love that your Mom says we have crappy weather while she enjoys her beautiful weather in Arizona. Love your videos keep up the great work that you do.
When I repot my plants I always add the mosquito bits to the soil and mix it in before potting up the plant. This is how I keep the mosquito bits from sitting on the surface and getting moldy. I still have some fungus gnats but I'm pretty sure they are from the plants I haven't repotted yet.
That is a cool Hoya heart, because I can’t remember what you called it.☺️ I transferred a couple of by Christmas cactus and a few spring cacti in lecca because they were germinated in water. We’ll see.😏
Fungas Gnats! Hate them! About a year ago I had a big problem, and of course went to RUclips for advise! I watched Adam's (Knotdude) video on the use of Beneficial Nematodes. That was the only thing that worked for me. I tried EVERY other method, but the nematodes was the only thing that worked. It actually keeps working on treated plants for months in the event you bring another plant into your house that is infested. You just need to treat the new plant. Give that a try! No messy topdressing or re-treatment needed!
I love your booby cactus...it's huge.That plant is still on my wish list even though I have no luck with cacti. I water with the mosquito bits once a month and have no fungus gnats.
Good morning Nicole, great video! In the comments it was mentioned that the mosquito bites were used in the soil, have you tried that? Loved the bloopers😍
@@MyCleanLeaves ok I just got some mosquito bites and was trying to figure out best option. So with the bits being covered with the layer of stones like you did with the boob cactus will the mold still created?
I got one from Thailand as well, I believe from the same vendor. Smaller than yours but with roots. My question (problem) for you is...After a few weeks I saw Mary J plants talk about how hers got soft because she forgot to water it. I checked mine and it was soft, I have watered it but sadly it’s still soft (I’ve watered it several times). Any suggestions?
Hmmmm well, maybe it was over watered before shipping? I feel that cacti get soft when over watered and develop root rot But if you forget for a long time to water it, that can happen as well. I would chop off the soft part and let it callus over for about a week. Then pot it up again.
No it doesn’t effect the plant.... it’s just ugly. I never gave it a chance to “go away” on its own...I just scraped it off cause I couldn’t stand looking at it.
Yes I use bird Gravel at times.... It's the spider mites that got my pain in the butt plant lol... Dropped all its leaves all over everything else grrrr... Tiny willow type leaves and willow size bush needs to be cut back but I lost my pruners... Did I mention it's a pain in the butt plant lol... It would go nice with your boob cacti lol... Minus the mites
Hello! So I just discovered your channel and subscribed! I live in Wisconsin and am thinking about ordering a boobie cactus from etsy as well! It's Jan and not sure if it will survive but noticed you ordered your in Feb. Do you recommend? If so, once you got it how'd you go about potting it if you don't mind me asking?! Thanks! Great videos! :)
That boobie cactus got bigger boobies then me lol, I love it! Misquito bits I believe is a bacteria that the larva of the fungus gnats eat and die. You dont need much lol, like a half a tablespoon lightly mixed into the top layer of soil and they wont mold like they do when u mix them in a little bit. I swear by them after battling fungus gnats for over 3 years before I tried them, I did put out the yellow traps when I first started using it to catch the adults too tho. Now I only see one or two every couple months if that. There will always be a few around, I think they are just a part of having plants.
My Clean Leaves oh thank god. I actually lost sleep over it. I’m like, well, I took things too far... I lost any chance at friendship with all three of those guys now....
I have a Hoya Kerii that has vined and one that hasn’t. But the one that hasn’t doesn’t have roots either so I just thought they couldn’t root if it was just one leaf! But yes, I expected it to stay one 🥺
@@MyCleanLeaves I've seen people get heartbroken because they think it will always vine . I figured you knew but I always hope they will vine but also let anyone reading comments know the possibilities of this not growing a vine.
Love your new booby 😂😜 it’s huge, that’s one of the biggest I’ve seen online😱 Definitely on my wish list for sure, fungus gnats 😫 That was so sweet to send a Kerri, nice

That’s so cool!!! Thanks Holly!
Hi Nicole! Love the cactus super cute😍 but that ending was everything🤣. Keep up the good work 👍
😏 thanks! (That is what happens when you can’t get into filming mode. You end up with over a minute of bloopers 🤷🏼♀️)
I love this cactus omg "shes got areolas!" Haha
And that's a nice lil gift, with the Hoya kerii, maybe you'll be lucky and it'll have some stem
Your dog is soo beautiful! 😍
Thank you!
What a gorgeous cactus!!😍 I need to find me one! You got it at a great price for that size too.
Lol, your mom is so funny.😅

What a fun unboxing! I love the addition of the hoya leaf. Can't wait for your Leca video!
🙌🏼

I haven’t but I did hear about doing that! Thank you!!

Oh mom. Lol! Thanks Linda!!
Yes the mosquito bits work great. I boil water and let them steep in it for an hour or so, then water my plants.

Yeay!!!!!!
Yayyy booobbbyyy cactusss!! I love mine they are so booobbyyyfullllll
Hahahahaha!!!!
Wow!! Yay!! You are a MEMBER OF THE BOOBIE CLUB!! That is a HUGE ONE!! You got a great deal!! Mine came from Thailand too!! 💚🌵💚

My Clean Leaves I
Loved the video. Now I'll have a smile on my face the whole day!
Awww that’s so sweet! Thank you!
This plant is soo cute, can't wait to get mine. Wish we could get the mosquito bits in the UK.
I'm thinking I need ze'booby cactus in my life too!! Keep meaning to order it. I was totally going to order from Thailand too 😉
Ze’booby!
Love it, I just received mine today. No where near the size of yours and I paid about the same pricing on Etsy! 🙊
😬 they’ve gotten a little more pricey since I posted this!
@@MyCleanLeaves Yes they have.😀
Whoa, that’s a big booby cacti!! 😍 Cool drawing!
Thanks!

Beautiful cactus! I learn so much from you! ❤️

I did too!!! We will see! It’s a Hoya Kerii
My Clean Leaves We will need to give each other updates. That’s a really cool Hoya. I found string of pearl seeds on Etsy. I’m debating.😏

Yes!!! I was honestly just thinking about this yesterday!
Agree... it was the best thing ever against fungus gnats for me too.
Covering Mosquito Bits with Top Dressing stones....Brilliant!
😏 I try!
New to your channel and I enjoyed your videos oh by the way I ordered one as well. Thanks for the videos
Yeay!!! ☺️
I have this huge beauty to share with anyone who wants to trade please let me know . I’m new to the plant community and would not mind sharing
Wow! Congrats and thanks for sharing
lol so funny, i saw your review on etsy just last night!
🤣🤣🤣
I love your booby cactus...it's huge.That plant is still on my wish list even though I have no luck with cacti. I water with the mosquito bits once a month and have no fungus gnats.
Awesome! They work!!
I know you're happy now that you got your hands on a chichi cactus. Pun intended lol
🤣🙌🏼
@@MyCleanLeaves are you looking for the Male appendage cactus (pito) now ? 😂😂😂😂😂
John Sheffield definitely not 🤣
@@MyCleanLeaves 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😋 shoot because if i ever find any i was going to get two so I could send you one jiji
Good morning Nicole, great video! In the comments it was mentioned that the mosquito bites were used in the soil, have you tried that? Loved the bloopers😍
I have!! But I still got them little suckers
@@MyCleanLeaves ok I just got some mosquito bites and was trying to figure out best option. So with the bits being covered with the layer of stones like you did with the boob cactus will the mold still created?
Idk, I’m hoping no! But this is a new thing I’m trying so stay tuned!
Its perfect 💚
Look at those Ta Tas!!!
TA TAS!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Hu,hu,hu, you said; "BOOBIE"! LOL!

So does the mold from the mosquito bits affect the plant at all or does it eventually dissolve?
No it doesn’t effect the plant.... it’s just ugly. I never gave it a chance to “go away” on its own...I just scraped it off cause I couldn’t stand looking at it.
This cactus makes me oddly uncomfortable. I dig it 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Loooove it!
Ur booby cactus looked super sturdy in it's new pot. Without roots, How did u know how much of the cactus to bury under the soil...?
They’re super resilient... so I just buried it about 2 inches down - should be completely fine. :)
So, it’s even larger than it appears!
Awesome
I'd be interested to know if the soil cover you bought works. Unfortunately mosquito bits aren't available in the Uk
Oh no! 😟 I’m sorry!
Not in Canada either 😕
@@heatherdegreeff1092 ☹☹☹☹
Very cool :)
There used to be boobie cups I haven't seen one in so long... They would have a hole in bottom and with cacti draining soil is best
Yes I use bird Gravel at times.... It's the spider mites that got my pain in the butt plant lol... Dropped all its leaves all over everything else grrrr... Tiny willow type leaves and willow size bush needs to be cut back but I lost my pruners... Did I mention it's a pain in the butt plant lol... It would go nice with your boob cacti lol...

You can paint on your pot cuz it's a really nice pot... I use a turkey baseter for watering at times
Lol... Love your bloopers lol
Beautiful cacti drawing lol... I needed to laugh thanks love it :)
Minus the mites 🤣

I’d say if it comes with a heat pack you should be good!
Mine ended up dying, so if I was to get another one I’d use a chunky soil mix
@@MyCleanLeaves Thanks for the tips! 😀

Also, I got paranoid...please tell me I didn't ask the tickle question.... I actually freaked out a little.
Hahahaha no you didn’t! 🤣
It would have been totally ok if you did. THAT would be acceptable 🤣🤣🤣
My Clean Leaves oh thank god. I actually lost sleep over it. I’m like, well, I took things too far... I lost any chance at friendship with all three of those guys now....
Enjoy your heart. But remember it may never grow. It's very rare that it will vine out

Yeah, leave those cacti alone. Especially that beautiful “boob cactus”

Definitely on my wish list for sure, fungus gnats 😫
That was so sweet to send a Kerri, nice

What was the name of the esty shop?
I had to remove it because last I checked they were no longer in business.
Oh sad.... I really liked how it was packaged.
