- Опубликовано: 15 дек 2023
- Hi everyone! Want to know what I do to BEAT THE WINTERTIME BLUES on those dark, cold and gloomy days? Well, if (like me) you just CANNOT wait for the Spring and for some sunshine and warmer temperatures to finally come back - and for our collections of cacti & other succulent plants with their amazing blooms to finally come back to life again ...well then this is definitely the video for YOU! I promise a LOT of COLORS, a lot of blooms and a lot of awesome cacti... to brighten up any dark and gloomy day - enjoy!
You will see and experience a bright firework of flowering cacti from last summer's growing season, including Parodia (formerly also Notocactus), Mammillaria, Coryphantha, Thelocactus, Pelecyphora, Lophophora, Copiapoa, Echinocereus, Cleistocactus, Echinopsis, and many more!
Btw, only 1 more week (next Friday, Dec 22nd, winter solstice 2023), and then our days here on the northern hemisphere will be getting longer again, whoop whoop!
Season's Greetings,
Joe

This is a blooming AWESOME video Joe haha, and so wonderful to see all of these stunning flowers and all their gorgeous colours, and the names of each one is brilliant to help many growers to ID their cacti too, the weather has been dark and gloomy here in Ireland and looking at your awesome blooms and getting excited for the upcoming growing season and seeing all the blooms again really gifts me a happy lift, I am really counting the days till spring again and in just under a week its the shortest day and then the days start to get longer again YAY, thanks so much for sharing this beautiful video of all your stunning blooms with us Joe, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Bavaria for a blooming wonderful weekend XXXX
Hahaha, thanks so much Lyn, for all your awesome blooming feedback and comments, as always LOVE them all!! Yes, I agree 100%, I too simply just cannot wait for spring to finally be back again! We have had only a few hours of sunshine here in the past two months, the weather has just been so awfull, dark, rainy, gloomy, day for day...and everyone is hoping for a bit more of the sun in January, February, but usually it then also comes with pretty frosty, very cold weather here, we will see... I'm really happy that you enjoyed the video and blooms and am sending you and Hans all the very best, blooming cactus greetings over to you both on the beautiful Emerald Isle! Enjoy your Saturday evening and rest of your weekend too of course!
What a wonderful display of cactus blooms! I really enjoyed your video.
Very happy that you enjoyed the cactus blooms, thank you so much for watching and also for your wonderful feedback, much appreciated! Take care, and happy growing!!
Nice video JOE this is why I collect cactus and succulents is because of the beautiful blooms have a great day your way thank you for sharing
Many thanks Gary! I completely agree with you, as beautiful as the plants themselves are, at the end of the day it is the blooms that make them so extra special! You have a great day too and happy growing my friend!
Really nice camerawork, enjoyed seeing the flowers on the various types of cactus, nice! 🌵🌸
Thank you so much, really appreciate your wonderful feedback and so happy you enjoyed the video and flowers of my cacti! Hope you are having an awesome weekend, happy growing and lot's of cactus greetings out to you!!
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you Joe for sharing.
Many thanks, Etienne, much appreciated, very happy that you enjoyed the video and cactus blooms! Thanks for watching and commenting!🙏🙏👍🙌😊🌵🪴🌵🌺🌸🌼💚😎🌞
Amazing video like always Joe! Thank you for sharing with us! Have a beautiful weekend! 🌺🌺🌺
Thanks so much, Elda, as I know that you love flowers so much, I was thinking of you as I was putting this one together, haha! You have a wonderful weekend too!
Fabulous compilation of amazing flowers, great Lichtblick in this dark season! 👍🏻🌼🌸 It's always astonishing to see how many variations of blooms there are, regarding shape, size, colour etc. 😄
And if we further this thought: Of course not only the flowers but also the plants theirselves occur in so many different appearings. AND cacti are just one plant family out of thousands on our tiny planet. The uniqueness of nature just doesn't fail to amaze me!
Besides that I'm by the way also interested in astronomy. So, not only the flora and fauna of our planet is fascinating but also the depths of space bear so many beautiful things 🤩
Enjoy your weekend! :)
Thanks so much, Jacob, that is wonderful to hear that you enjoyed this compilation of flowering cacti - and also about your special interests in the flora and fauna of our planet as well as astronomy, wow! Yep, indeed, I have a LOT of sympathies for your interests, as I too (as a geologist by profession) love the natural world around us and the many interactions between living beings and the environments and ecosystems of our planet! Cacti and other succulent plants are of course just a tiny part of this all, but they have always fascinated me for exactly that close interaction and the crazy, mind-boggling adaptations of these plants to their extreme living environments and habitats!! Thanks as always, Jacob, for your interest and support, for exchanging ideas and thoughts, I always really appreciate that, and wishing you a wonderful Saturday evening and rest of your weekend too!
Fantastic! I really enjoyed that! Great filming!
Thanks so much, Terry, really very happy that you enjoyed the video and blooms, so appreciated!

Thanks a million, Clyde!! Really very happy that you enjoyed the video and specifically also the close up video shots of the various blooms! Thanks so much for watching my friend!! Sending you lot's of cactus greetings out to Morris Park in the Ozarks, USA!!👍🙌🙏😉🪴🌵🪴🌺🌸🌼💚😎🌞

Love the summer tour
Thanks so much, Cecilia, very happy that you enjoyed the summer flowering cactus tour!
Thank you so much for this beautiful video. Your photography is extraordinary. I felt like I was watching a video by National Geographic of a cactus collection at a botanical garden. You have such a beautiful collection.
Aww, thank you so much for your kind words and truly awesome and inspiring feedback, Deborah! So happy you enjoyed this video! Also, I'm really glad that you enjoyed my collection of cacti and succulents! Hope you are having a wonderful day, and also rest of the week ahead, take care and happy growing of course!
👍
Thank you, very happy that you liked it!
Hello Joe! Love all of your beautiful plants and the lovely blooms. I think I should go to the den and have a conversation with mine to see if they would consider blooming for me next year. Maybe some aren't sleeping so soundly that they will actually hear me! Happy holidays!
Hello Cheryl! Hahaha, yes you definitely should have a word or two with your plants in the den, to remind them that they should now all be sleeping and rounding up the energy to blossom and bloom for you in the coming season, or else....!! Thanks so much for watching and for your awesome feedback and comments, truly love them! Wishing you Happy Holidays too, very best wishes!
Danke für das bunte Video. Ab dem 21.12. Werden die Tage zum Glück wieder länger. Frohe und gesegnete Weihnachten und einen guten und gesunden Rutsch ins neue Jahr. Gallus
Sehr gerne, und ebenfalls ganz herzlichen Dank! Ja, zum Glück geht es ab dem kommenden Wochenende wieder aufwärts...ich kann den Frühling gar nicht mehr erwarten, haha! Ich wünsche Dir und Deiner Familie ebenfalls ein schönes Weihnachtsfest, einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr und ein erfolgreiches und gesundes 2024! Herzlichst, Joe
@@cactusjoe Dankeschön für die guten Wünsche. Habe keine "Familie ". Bin Mönch.
Very nice, Joe. Maybe some day.....
Many thanks, Bill! Haha, that day is just around the corner my friend, I love your fantastic collection and setup!
love your videos, nice garden ❤
Thanks so much Emeline! Really appreciate your awesome feedback, thanks for watching and sending you lot's of cactus flower greetings! 🙏🙏👍😉🌵🌺🌸🌼🌵💚😎☀️
Well that's brightened up a dark, dark evening Joe 🙂 Was that your pet hoverfly too? 😁 Brilliant shot. Thanks for putting that together my friend. We're halfway through the dark 😎😎🌵🌵
Hi Ziggy! Thanks so much, very glad you enjoyed the video and especially also my pet hoverfly, Buzz, trained up, very painfully, just for that one scene, haha! Thanks for watching, my friend, and hope you are having a great week!🙌👍🙏🙏😉🌵🪴🌵🌺🌸🌼💚😎🌞
Well..its 50d outside..no snow!! In Michigan!! So my cacti are all indoors its 60d in my plant room..i give then just a small drink ..but they seem to like it... No more water til February .....
Hi Michelle! Sounds like your cacti are all safe and doing well, excellent! Yeah, weatherwise we are on a real roller coaster at the moment too...last week freezing cold, this week quite mixed but a lot warmer, no snow ...and the next two weeks are forecast as rainy and really mild... hard to keep up, haha! Thanks for watching and commenting!
🙏🏼🎍 hey Joe, wanna wish you a merry Christmas and I do have a question how can I identify my cactus and my other plants even though they may be hybrid I’m not sure I get confused I see someone on TV that look like mine but then I’m not sure. Have a happy new year Joe I enjoy your show tremendously. Thank you.
Awww, thank you so much Pauline, I'd like to wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too! Thank you so much for watching and enjoying all the videos, really super appreciated!
Yeah, I know what you mean, getting the ID of the various cacti ...especially of hybrids!!...right, is absolutely not always essy at all! I often find that not so easy too! A lot of it just comes with time and experience. The more pictures and videos of cacti ( with their names added) one sees, the more it becomes possible to identify them. I always like to add the names of plants I am showing, for exactly that reason, hoping it helps others with ID of their own plants! Happy Holidays!!🙏🙏🙌👍😊🎄🎄🌵🌵🌺🌼💚😎☀️
Beautiful just beautiful 😊, i cant wait for spring time! Can u do a species profile video on echinocereus subinermis and gymnocalyciumm balderium and frederii? Also what the song that start at 3:20 and the next song.ty in advance keep up the good work!😊
Thank you so much, really happy that you enjoyed the video! Very happy also that you also enjoyed the music, I tried to find some relaxing yet inspriational tunes...the song at 3:20 is called 'Energy Movement' and the one after that is 'Galaxy Dream' ...they are both tunes from my audio library. Wrt your video requests, thank you, I have noted your suggestions and added them to my to do list for future videos. Thanks again for watching and for your wonderful feedback, much appreciated!
@@cactusjoe superb! Happy holidays :) do u have links for the songs?
RUclips keeps unsubscribing me from your channel & deleting comments. I think ive had to resub like 5 or 6 times. I wonder if they are doing this to other viewers.
Hi Nicole, sorry to hear you are having problems and trouble with RUclips. I have not heard that yet from others, but that does not mean it doesn't happen. Have you reported that to RUclips yet? I too will let them know, if you like? Thank you for subscribing and for persisting!!🙌🙏👍😊🌵🪴🌵🌸🌺🌼💚😎🌞
Thanks Joe; lovely video and really enjoyable; I have a tropical back garden and a 4mx5m Mediterranean front garden that’s my passion; but you have got me really interested in cacti; just purchased some hardy cacti for the front garden and just started to design a (much much smaller) cacti landscape for my new potting shed on the same lines as yours; what would be good starter cacti for my landscape; only 1mx0.5m (for now) I’m in the North West of England so looking to keep the potting shed above 0 centigrade; aiming for 5 centigrade in winter; thanks again and keep the videos coming please cheers 😊
Hi Terry! Thanks so much and really happy to read that you enjoyed the video, AND also terrific to read about your passion for your tropical as well as Mediterranean gardens, both sound so cool! And adding a few hardy cacti to the Mediterranean garden also should work well!
And haha, brilliant that you are also expanding your interest in cacti...AND thinking of putting a cactus landscape garden together, fantastic!!!
From your description of the temperatures (...and I am assuming it is also a suitably bright location with at least a little bit of sun?), I would focus perhaps on some cacti from the genera Echinocereus (many are quite happy with very cool temps, quite some are even frost hardy, plus they have beautiful flowers and there is a huge variety of forms). Also, Echinopsis cacti are always a winner, quite good for these type of purposes and also with fantastic flowers! If you also want to try one or two Thelocactus (e.g. rinconensis or hexaedrophorus), they are very beautiful cacti and ok with low winter temperatures. Also, to add some variation, the columnar cacti from the genus Oreocereus are very suitable (e.g. O. trollii = 'Old Man of the Andes' cactus) for cool temps and very beautiful to look at. Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration and input to your planning! Good luck and success with the cactus landscaping! Have a great day and happy growing of course!!
Hi Joe; thank you very much for getting back to me and the feedback; I will take your suggestions and start my search; very exciting 😄; the potting shed will have south facing windows and the Cacti Landscape will be front and centre; thanks again; looking forward to your next video.
@@terrystokes7047 that all sounds fantastic, and very exciting indeed! Lot's of fun and success with the project! Keep me posted and let me know if I can answer any further questions that may come up! Happy growing!!
Hey Joe, my name is Pauline I have another question I have a living stone that had flowers. The flowered had died but nothing else is happening. I don’t know if I should water it or just leave it alone. I watered it a few weeks ago a little bit I’m not sure what to do. If you can help me I will be forever grateful thank you.
Hey Pauline! Now that your Living Sone, or Lithops, has flowered, just keep it dry and relatively cool and in a bright spot. Wait for the current fleshy leaves to slowly shrivel and dry up, and watch the new pair of leaves appear from the crack in between the old leaves. Only when the old leaves have shrivelled away, give a little bit of water to your plant. Allow the soil to dry before watering again. Have you had a chance to see my dedicated video on Growing Lithops on my channel yet? Might be of interest 👍😊
Ok what's the trick i had no blooms
Oh, sorry to hear that! Often cacti require a cooler location and virtually no watering during the winter months (dormancy phase for cacti), if they have trouble flowering in the spring. If you would like to hear more about this I have a video on my channel (cultivation 101 playlist) about how to best keep cacti duting the winter months. 🙏🙏👍😊🌵🪴🌵🌼🌸🌺💚😎☀️
