It's a brave man that operates on a cactus wearing nothing but a tea towel.
haha a very brave man indeed :-D thanks so much for watching :-D XXXXX
That was hard to watch. I'm gna have to operate on my Opuntia Green Maverick. I am very afraid the damage is irreversible. But, if I can get the cuttings to propagate then i could save the specie. Need that plant power man!
Hans is a brave man doing that job wearing just a sarong and a smile 😂 Hope the plant makes it 👍
The timing of this video is perfect! I just noticed this morning that one of my cacti was rotting from the base, I will be operating him then! I love how your videos are always very informative and still fun, you guys are awesome ! :D
This cactus is as old as me! It must have hurt your hands to hold it while cutting...I was wincing for you :) Thanks again for another great lesson in cactus care. You both are so knowledgeable and excellent teachers! :)
thanks so much Barbara for your wonderful comment and for watching and me and Hans are sending you tons of love and heaps of happiness and oodles of PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle and have an INCREDIBLE Tuesday today XXXXX
I thoroughly love your teaching, just bought a clearance sick cactus here at the Lowe’s store in Roseville California and I’m going to work and do your tip with powder, and yes, my 5 babies benefitted from baby powder for healing as well, you two are delightful thank you 🙏
Thats so wonderful you have bought a new cactus and a rescue one too, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a fantastic new week XXXXX
Excellent video Hans! You two are the best, I learn so much from your videos. Many thanks from Arizona!

Nodrog Bippleflangermeister where do you live in az. I live in Peoria az and would love to reach out to others in the desert.
I like Hans he has a great sense of humour 😜
haha Hans is fantastic he has a wicked sense of humour indeed :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending tons of love and PLANT POWER your way for a FANTASTIC day XXXX
You did a great job Hans slicing that cactus! I hope it is still OK by now 2021! Sending you both lots of love!
Thanks so much Sylvia :-D and thanks so much for your wonderful comments and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Malta for a wonderful afternoon XXXX
That was one tough cacti,look forward to seeing the updates!
I am re-potting some of my cacti next week. Must get a tasseled tea towel to wear for that ... after this video, I wouldn’t want to be seen in anything else. 😂😂
Use thick sponges (like car washing sponge) when handling cacti.
Great a video! What an amazing plant to have that cactus so long and grown from seed. Hans did a great job! Lucky you were there Lynn to explain the baby powder remark👍🏽😘
Hahaha... :-)
Hi Lyn and Hans. I really hope the plant will re-root and keep growing! It's beautiful :-)
thanks so much Chris for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you tons of love and heaps of happiness and oodles of PLANT POWER from Waterford to Limerick and have an INCREDIBLE Tuesday today XXXXX
Why is Hans always minimally clothed?
Comfort, I'm sure. If I'm at home, I'm in boxer underwear only. I don't like being hot, and anything over 75* is too hot for me to be comfortable.
I have an over heated body! I can go into flames, it´s dangerous!
:-)
Thank you mannys9130!!! :-)
XXX
LOL! hahahahahahaha :-))))))) XXXXXXX
never mind, start worrying...or possibly marvelling if you see something hanging!!!
That plant is as old as I am...a-m-a-z-i-n-g! Nice work Doctor Hans...:-D
WOW!
Thank you for an lovely comment!
:-)
Omg that long that's amazing ❤everyday my postman wraps the door I'll like is it my surprise box from lyn and hans Haha so excited for it,I'm like a kid at Christmas Haha xxxxxx ❤❤❤
Awwwww haha, we haven't forgotten we promise, we are in between moving plants out from the house and back into the yard and polytunnel for the Spring and Summer and going to be very busy for the next two weeks, but thankfully once its done we will be able to get your plant goody box sorted out and posted off to you, we still have a few more pruning's to do for you haha, thanks so much our wonderful Friend and Neighbour John for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from down the road haha for a fantastic Friday today XXXX
I absolutely love your channel and im always envious of your collection i cant wait until mine is that big my count is 63 and im so so so so relieved that you two were able to save the cactus before it was too late it was an extremely tense video for me but im glad it turned out well :)
It just rained more last nite than it does in 5 years where I am and figured with over a hundred cacti in the ground and the weather changing I may need to brush up on the rot care. Better safe than sorry. Just last year I almost lost a Jade plant over 20 years old.😬
Oh no so sorry to hear about the rain too, its been so wet here and its difficult to now how to handle our pants but its better to be safe than sorry I agree :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending tons of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle and have a fantastic weekend XXXXX
Just curious, why did he have to cut back the bottom areoles? Because I have a cutting that is currently callousing over. And, I did not cut back the bottom areoles. Is it so that roots may grow out from the bottom sides as well?
Hi there :-D yes cutting the bottom areoles is not a necessity to do, but it can encourage more roots to grow from the bottom sides too, good luck with your cutting, and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week ahead XXXXX
Why do you cut back the sides of the cactus?
It´s more easy for the roots to come and they will concentrate around the central cylinder which develop a stronger rooting.
:-)
amazing to watch like surgery in a hospital! Good luck with this!
thanks so much Kyra for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you tons of love and heaps of happiness and oodles of PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle and have an INCREDIBLE Tuesday today XXXXX
I had to pull this video back up. I have a beautiful Cleistocactus Strausii that toppled over at the base the other night and I'm fairly certain it's rot. Wish me luck! Thank you!
Oh no so sorry to hear about your Cleistocactus and I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you that it recovers well, thank you so much for watching and sending lots of love and PLANT POWER your way for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Thanks Lyn! The video was extremely helpful. The inside looked nice and green so fingers crossed. Love the channel!
@@BurningOrchids Thats great news that the inside is green :-D good luck and so happy you love the channel have a wonderful week ahead XXXXX
Very interesting! I thought a cactus would die if you chopped it in half, that's amazing xx
thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you tons of love and happiness and heaps of PLANT POWER your way for a FANTASTIC day XXXX
Great video guys! Best of luck with it's recovery. :-)
I have an of topic question: Does maybe one of you have experience whit the Whale s Fin or Sansevieria masoniana, someone told me that they are a difficult plant to keep, I just want to give it a try , so i wondered if one of you ( or you both ) have experience with it?
Have an awesome Sunday y all !
Hi Patrick :-) thanks so much for your wonderful comment :-) unfortunately I have no experience of growing Whales fin or Sanseveria masoniana, we do have a couple of Sanseveria'a in our collection but have never grown these :-) thanks a million for watching and me and Hans are sending you oodles of love and happiness and tons of PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle and have a BRILL Sunday today XXXX
hi.
Do you know which amazing cactus this is?
Hi Morten :-D its a Denmoza Rhodacantha Cactus, its one that is not often seen for sale now, thanks so much for watching, and have a wonderful plant powered weekend XXX
Damn, Hans is an absolute chad🗿🗿
haha thanks so much for watching and wishing you a fantastic plant powered Tuesday XXXX
I did this to my cactus. It was yellowing at the bottom and squishy but still had roots intact. When I sliced off the yellowish part, there were no black spots in the middle. Do you think I could've gotten away with just air drying it without cutting?
Hi Ana :-D You definitely did the best thing by cutting it to be on the safe side, if it was squishy it may have been rotting and sometimes this can happen inside of the bottom of the cactus even when the roots still look ok, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a wonderful weekend XXXXX
Do I see this man using a very sharp knife cutting on a cement work bench?
Is cinnamon powder also ok to use for the open cut?
Hi :-D yes Cinnamon powder is brilliant to use for open cuts too and i use this a lot as a fungicide and it is more easily available to get than Sulphur powder :-D thanks so much for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a terrific Friday today XXXXX
I had to do this with my cactus today. The damage was horrible and now I’m left with a small cactus tip. I’m not too sad though because it had two babies before the rot and I’m gonna hope they grow together since they’re now all the same size.
So sorry to hear about your cactus but thats wonderful you have two babies from it, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful weekend XXXX
Hans, that looks like a Saguaro. It has the right number of ribs, the skin is the right color and the spines are gray and long. They are extremely prone to rot. They even rot in the wild in Arizona. However, I hate that it is rotting again. Please keep us posted on how it's doing. Good luck!
Awwwww thank you so very much
@@desertplantsofavalon So sorry to hear that. BUT! you have another one. That's good news.
@@solarwinds- Thanks so much, I will be giving it a repot over the coming weeks XXXXX
The long dark spines makes this look like an Echinopsis leucantha. They have very tall, white flowers that smell like beer. I put a close-up of one of them in the second "Bee Action" video, FYI.
It looked like there was still a small black spot, near the middle of the stem. I would have told him to cut a little more off. Good Luck!
OK, I just went out and checked our plants. This species has curved spines, unlike most of the others. BTW, one of ours is crested, haha!
Thanks so much Bob for your fantastic comments and for watching and for sharing this info :-D sending you tons of love and heaps of happiness and oodles of PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle to Arizona and have a fantastic new week ahead XXXX
This was done very badly. Use cleaned cleavers and razors on Cereus cactus.
He cut the cactus in half then proceeded to cut it on top of the soil with the fungus. So he reinfected his plant again. Only need one spore. Cinnamon works really well.
Hi can you do a follow up? Is the cactud still alive?
Hi Kimberley
I'm confused- I don't think I've watered my cactus recently but I've noticed today it's rotting(like kind of a lot) I'm not totally sure if it's rotting, but I'm not sure what else it could be...( the base is brown/grey, the middle is yellow and the top is still green)
Nice video! Should I keep my cactus with the powdered side facing up or down?
Hi there :-D its best to keep the powdered side facing up, but allow lots of air circulation underneath, you can loosely hang up the cactus to keep it upright but to still let airflow to get around the powdered cut, good luck with your cactus and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, Sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday today XXXX
Il tuo amico e'molto coraggioso ,non ha paura di pungersi 😂,comunque siete simpatici mi piacete 😘👍👍👍.Bravissimi 😘
So where do you put it after applying the rooting powder? Don’t you plug it in soil?
Great job Hans !. I use sulfur powder.
Thanks so much Sal for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a sunny Sunday today XXXXX
Could someone tell me .... Is my cactus overwatered if its jiggly and soft? Mostly at the basr
If its colour has changed yellowish then this is a good indication. Also, try poking a finger into the soil, if it returns with wet soil then you know. Try noting down when you watered it last and give it 2 weeks then check to see if it is still moist. This channel and many other channels have great advice on watering cacti.
I agree with DEA-Exotics that it looks like a Saguaro; however, it is quite unusual to have one in Ireland since it is native to the Arizona Sonoran Desert. Many folks have tried to keep them in other parts of America, and other countries with poor results. You mentioned that it was 43 years old...most Saguaros would be larger at that age. I can't tell from the video, but a Saguaro's spines would be about 2 inches long. I have a baby that is similar in diameter and is 6 inches high; its age is estimated to be about 20 years.
Was it saved? The video only showed the bit where he cut it and added some root powder.
Hi Elly, unfortunately this cactus did not make it, it started to recover and send out new roots again but the rot came back with again, and it couldn't be saved, it was gutting as we are not sure what we did wrong but we tried our best, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, thanks so much for asking and for watching and have a wonderful Wednesday today XXXX
Hi Lynn hows the cactus doing!? Thanks George
Hi George :-D sadly this cactus did not make it, which was a shame but we tried our best to save it and thankfully we have saved many other cacti over the years with this method but I think this plant had come to the end of its lifespan, thanks so much for watching and sending tons of love and heaps of PLANT POWERED happiness from Ireland for a wonderful afternoon XXXX
looks like a saguaro cactus to me i could be wrong but this was another great video
thanks so much for your wonderful comments and for watching and sending you tons of love and heaps of happiness and oodles of PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle and have an INCREDIBLE Tuesday today XXXXX
True; and in 30 years it may start blooming and produce pitayas.
If it's a saguaro it should be planted in a much bigger pot as they are the biggest cactus 🌵
Is the cactus doing ok?
My cactus is really tilted can you give me some advise
Squirtle Squad I think i may be able to help you with that. Therese actually multiple reasons a cactus can tilt; so im gonna line them up and you judge which situation youre in:
Type a-bad tilting - these one can result from diseases and inadquate growing conditions, and result from:
1-rot- such as the video- can result from fungal/bacterial infections on the plant stem or root-recomend following the video- cactus stem is yellow and soft, root rot means plant is unstable;
2-etiolation - cactus is in a dark area and is looking for light - stems are thin and weird looking- look up what kind of cactus do you have and see how to deal with it.
3-mechanical damage- disinfect the wound/ and or try to propagate like in the video if the center has been cut;
type b- normal
1- sun following- this works on the same prinicple as etiolation, but the stems look normal- this is because some cacti have sunflower like growing traits-the apex tends to turn toward the sun
2-over or under watering- changes in cactus tissue turgor may cause deflation and the cactus be flaccid,-in this case increase watering- or buckling under weight because of tissue filled water- decrease watering or may lead to damage in the form of scars.
3- age-some cacti naturally crawl on the ground
cactuS Mann ok thanks
If you were to describe what kind of plant it is and which of the symptoms its got, i could tell you exactly what you need to do. If you dont want to , sugest looking it up instead.
cactuS Mann can I wash my cactus to get rid of knats? What method would you suggest?
great work hans and lyn :)
thanks so much Lollee for your wonderful comments and for watching and me and Hans are sending you tons of love and heaps of happiness and oodles of PLANT POWER from right across the Emerald Isle and have an INCREDIBLE Tuesday today XXXXX
ty hope both of you have a great dz\y too hugz xox May you have many more flowers
Nice bady men,and nice cactus.
guys are brave handling the plants without oven mits
All day I've been watching vids about succulents and cacti.. I don't know much about them, but I was given a couple small cacti that look similar to the one you are trying to save. I love all the different things I've seen done with them, wall plantings, etc, and thought I'd like some of my own. Funny thing is, my larger cactus (3" tall) does look like it might be starting to rot at the base, and along comes your vid teaching me how to save it! Great timing! Your vids are great fun to watch, and are so full of information that I think it's time to start adding cacti and succulents to my houseplant collection. Thanks for so many helpful hints!
thanks so much Cynthia for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Ireland for a wonderful new week ahead XXXX
Hello there.
Watched this video and I'm intrigued to know if this cactus managed to survive and grow fresh roots?
Cheers
David - Derbyshire, UK
Hi David, unfortunately this cactus didn't make it long term, it did re root itself and then stated to rot again and then we did another cut and it then re rooted itself and was growing really well but sadly it rot again but from the inside and was unsavable, thanks so much for asking and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle to Derbyshire XXXX
Desert Plants of Avalon that cactus Was very suicidal to rot that many times I didn’t even know that was possible
Hope the best for your cactus. Its reminds me an echinopsis. I have one that is very similar to this one. I might making wrong.
It seems to be an Denmoza... Get the tips from cactuS Mann.
Happy to know now!
Thank you for your lovely comment Olga!
:-) XXX
Yes it looks like a Denmoza also.
It can even be an Echinopsis melanopotamica... Got the tips from David Gilmer...
Mmm, the main thing is that the plant will survive!
XXX
You are right.
You where right as well! :-)
Hahaha
I would use a generous amount of foam to help hold it without damaging it.
Foam works so well, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a terrific Tuesday XXXX
Hi from Sweden! Just noticed my cactus is rotting and I wanna save it, but cant find any rootingpowder here. What is the swedish name? Can I use something else to help the roots?
Thanks
Hi there :-D so sorry about your cactus, I hope you can save it, you can also use cinnamon powder too as it is anti fungal, I hope your cactus will be ok, thanks so much for watching and sending you tons of love and happiness and heaps of PLANT POWER from the Emerald Isle for a FANTASTIC Thursday today XXXXX
Hi, may I know if turmeric powder will work too as a replacement of the anti fungal powder??
Hi there :-D I am not sure about turmeric powder as I have not used it but I would definitely recommend Cinnamon powder as it is anti fungal and safe to use with plants and very effective :-D XXXXXX
Looks like it could be an Echinopsis Melanopotamica. Dunno, just a thought.
Wow...it can be... It´s look a like... :-) Thank you for your suggestion!
:-)
I'm interested to know why rooting hormones are banned in Sweden. Can you tell me?
The government think it´s dangerous, easy like that! ;-)
Hans Müller Hah! Weird. Do they have any science to back that up?
Ask them! :-)
Hans, thank you brother
thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, Sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the emerald Isle for a sunny Sunday today XXXX

So happy to hear that Daniel and thank you so much for watching them :-D sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXXX
So, give us an update. How did ti go?
Sadly this plant died, the house we used to live in was riddled with dampness and mold and it finished this poor plant, thank goodness we moved haha :-D it was sad to see this plant go but at least we tried to save it XXXX
Ah, so plants are only worth saving if they are with cladodes, ephiphytes, collumnars..... but not barrels....seems ill have to take extra care around those from now on..
That looks like my Saguaro plant.
I bet your Saguaro is a beauty, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful day XXXX
A massive cactus into a small cactus
I was in so much pain watching the surgery T_T poor cactus. But ypu gotta do it to save it. Brave maaaan and his armor.
Thank you so much Mira :-D I hate to do surgery on the plants too but thankfully we manage to save most of them this way
@@desertplantsofavalon you guys are the best! Hope you had a great day too. Love from Malaysia.
@@holycopy XXXXXX
i would like to see lateral section of the rotten end
haha old hippy. That's hilarious
Don't know about you guys, but if I'm handling a prickly cactus, I will not be almost completely naked.
So obvious you're Swedish dude. The accent is classic sweden
Thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Ireland for a fantastic day XXXXX
i’m so sad my cactus is dying 😔
I have never seen any problems with succulents or cactus as much as u guys have where do you live and what kind of weather do you have you have such a good collection but they seem like you are having a hard time grown them
Hope you save the denmoza/erioysice . Nothing hurts more when you lose a plant you get attached to,
WOW, thank you cactuS Mann... It have to be an Denmoza.
Thank you for your knowlege. I´m feeling happy now!
Best regards, Hans Müller.
This is my new channel and I shall start very soon to upload plant related videos here.
Jippieeeeeeee
I got seeds for that as well. Gonna wait for the others to arrive before i try to germinate them.
Best of luck to you
WOW, thank you!!!
:-)
Hello =) You can use frigolit/ styrofoam to handle this beauties =)
mammillaria alamensis cactus
cactus surgery
✌👍👍
my cactus bagins to become yellow
and its old
Hi it could be because it needs a change of soil as the nutrients in the soil may have become exhausted and its good to check the root system out and freshen up the soil, also check for any signs of hidden bugs as they can suck the colour from your cacti but can be well hidden, XXXXX
i saved my cactus
Thats wonderful news, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending an abundance of love and happiness and heaps of PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXXX
