- A few weeks ago, I asked you friends what you think I should do to that space in my backyard. And majority of you voted for a desert garden over a greenhouse. So here is my new cactus garden in one section of my backyard. This video is part 2 of 2 parts. Part one shows the transformation of this garden.

i think i enjoy the rocks in desertscapes more than the plants used in them. yay geology!
You and your family did a great job !! Even the pond with Japanese carp! Your child is very willing! Well done! 🌵👍🤩🐟🦋
Thank you so much. I’m glad my boys were there to help. I had to bribe them with good food afterwards. 😂😁
@@CactusCaffeine 👍👍😄😄😄😄😋🍧
And that iced coffee looked delicious 😋😋😋
It was. That’s why I started the video with a glass already half-full. 😄
Just gorgeous and so enjoyable watching it grow💕
Very beautiful cactus garden 🤩🌹
I love cactus 🌵🌵🌵
Big like 🧡👍
Stay connected
Looks really lovely especially at night. Good job.🤗
Thank you. 😊
I really like your new Garden enjoyed the video.
Superb desert garden! Can't wait for those barrel cacti to grow big😍. And also ang relaxing po ng sound ng water from your mini pond.
I love your garden, and thanks for all the tips and explanations.
Thank you 😊
Very very nice Ana. So glad I watched today. You have a great eye...
I love the dessert garden. It looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing 🥰
My pond is not as pretty and as alive as yours. But your pond videos have been my inspiration. Thank you for all the tips! 👍🏼🙂
Cactus Caffeine no it’s super cute! I had to cover mind because I think birds ate two of them.
Very nicely done.
Very beautiful Ana...I was waiting for your video 🙂
Watching here from Philippines 😍 I'm so inlove with your plants ❤
Salamat po. 🙂🌵☕️
Good work !! You guys did a great job!!! The blue barrel is a ferocactus glaucecens. I see you guys finally did the fountain!! A desert oasis if you will! Awesome!!! By the way, all your seeds except the melocactus have come up!!!! And they are doing great!! I will do an update soon! From Morris park in the Ozarks, out to Las Vegas, have a great day!!! Peace,Love,Plants!!!✌💖🌵🌸🌴🌹🌿🌺🍀🌷🌳
Hi Clyde! You and Daz gave the same name on that ferocactus. I think you are both correct. Thank you! I’m happy to hear the seeds came up. I have not tried sowing the melocactus seeds myself. The euphorbias that you sent me looks like they all rooted. Some have started growing tiny leaves on top. 🙂
Hi maam Ana I'm one of your avid fans here in Philippines, I was amazed that you are also a Filipino, I just hope we'll meet one day maam. I love all your cactus videos and I am trying to apply all your advice, great they all work even we have different temperature here in the Philippines 😊.
Very interesting 👌
Great job!
Your desert garden turned out really cute, I love the fountain and how the minerals in the water give the terra cotta a vintage look. The lighting adds such a lovely atmosphere to the space, nice job! 🌵🌿🙌
Christine Kobzeff, thanks Christine. I remember your videos where you paint your pots slightly white. I love that look, too on terra cotta. But mine was white due to the minerals. 🤣 I didn’t want that but I guess it worked out well.
Yummy!!!!!
Beautiful, Anna!
Garden Rudiments thanks! I miss your videos. I hope your garden is doing well. 😃👍🏼
That's Wow🙏
Nice! 🌵
Na miss kita ana kasi nafocus ako kay techram kasi naaliw ako sa mga natutulungan nya.
hope u can show us soon when GBs are in their big sizes.
Wonderfull 🤩
Beautiful😍
You have done a great job. I like the water feature. Will the fish be alright during heat of summer or cold of winter? I love those mineral.marks on clay pots. I have them in my pots too. When I started gardening I bought several books about gardening (back then Google was not as common as today) and in one of them they teached what to do to get lichens and mosses on clay pots and give them that aging look more rapidly. What they recommended was applying yoghurt with a brush 😀 Happy sunday Ana.
The fish survived summer. They have been there since the height of summer for 2 months now. Winter should be easier as we can always put an aquarium heater in the pond. (I hope). But everything including the garden will have its first test this winter. 🤞Thank you Fernanda!
Hi Anna. I'm pretty sure the no id barrel is Ferocactus glaucescens. 👍🏼
Megusina you are right! Thank you. 😊
Hi Ana, Awesome and well done everything, greetings from Serbia-Europe !
El Paraíso De Denis, wow, cheers from Las Vegas! ☕️☕️🌵😃
@@CactusCaffeine Thank you so much !
Love it
Well done, Ana! Daz and I watched Part 2 together and we love the end product of your whole family’s hard work. ❤️ I specially love the Asian corner and can’t wait to see all your plants grow and thrive in that special corner of your garden. Daz thinks that the blue barrel cactus is Ferocactus glaucescens. Have a great weekend! 🥰❤️🌵🌺🌼🌸❤️
Loved part 2 Ana, Edith & I enjoyed watching together. Pretty sure I’m correct with the ID of the blue barrel cactus. Look forward to future updates on how the plants get on 😊 Thank you for sharing with us Ana, from Edith & myself, have a wonderful weekend 🌵☀️🌺🌸🌼🏜☕️
Oh yeah. I think that is the correct ID of that bluish barrel. It produced yellow flowers last spring. Thank you, Daz. Edith, I wanted some Asian figures like what Molly has in her garden but they are so expensive! 😱
Well done, brilliant job mam Ana very nice.😊🌵🌸🙏
Salamat, Norman! 😃
Hi again Ana, I commented on the first video after seeing part one and two and suggested some plants for the pond (Ranunculus and Ceratophilum demersum). But I want to tell you also that the solar lights at night look gorgeous and the petrified wood is so cool👌 😍. Have a nice weekend 😘🌵☮️💖
Thank you Vanessa for the suggestions on the plants. I’m going to to look them up. 😃👍🏼 The pond is currently more challenging than the garden. Lol!
@@CactusCaffeine Definitely yes, ponds are more challenging than gardens😅! I agree with you. But wen you reach the equilibrium point it works alone. I've lost a few water plants and fishes in the past but I miss having my tiny pond that I left wen I moved home. Now you've made me realize😆😜👍😘.
This is great! :D
I always love how make your cactus somehow look more beautiful than they already are! I hope you have some rain soon, I am checking the day counter and it's getting a little excessive, maybe a little or very
Thank you for your compliments. Yes, we still have not gotten any rain and I’ve lost count how many days it has been since the last one. Our temperature is also above normal for fall.
@@CactusCaffeine I think you have gone like 166 or 167 days now
😱 The weather news says still no rain forecast ahead and that it is already getting ridiculous. 😬
@@CactusCaffeine Wow! We have our own problems in the opposite direction right now. We have had a humongous amount of rain
I love how your new cactus garden turned out! Wonderful plant selection, they should all be able to stand up to strong sun. It’s cool to see the family taking part in your gardening endeavors. Your son is handsome🤍
Oh, thank you so much. This winter this garden will be put to the test. 🙂 Fingers and toes crossed!
Wow that's amazing Ana.
What a great idea, plan and execution.
The before and after is so tell-all.
The fountain turned out great.
I think that was a grand idea to use large rocks to hide sprinkler heads.
Did you call the small rock formations ribbons?
Super cool results....magical like!!
See you...🌵☕🍺🌵
So nice to see the process on making this beautiful desert garden. I really love the water feature and all the cacti and arrangements you’ve done. So wish I can do the same 😩
WOW your new Desert Garden looks absolutely INCREDIBLE :-D you have made a BRILLIANT job at creating this stunning Desert Garden, and all the beautiful plants will thrive, I LOVED watching all the stages, from the soil used and to the plants, and wonderful choice of plants you have chosen, and beautiful Buddha, Butterfly and fountain and lighting, we wish we could plant cacti & succulents outside in Ireland but its so wet wet wet LOL! thanks so much for sharing creating your wonderful new Desert Garden Ana, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and CAFFEINE and PLANT POWER to Las Vegas for a fantastic Monday today XXXX
I really like your desert garden so cute 🤩
Jumar Mazo thank you. I hope I can keep them alive. 🤞
@@CactusCaffeine I hope too, cause I will also try to replicate your desert garden.. I'm a Filipino by the way 😄...
Hello Ana and congrats for all the work you did for this wonderful project! It turned out amazing Congrats!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Anna! It's was nice to have you walk us through the entire process and have you explain the plant choices and the section that had the Asian theme, which I loved!!! The agave with the Buddha almost looked lotus like because of the theme. Very cool. You guy did great. I'm so glad you shared part 2 as well. You guys are awesome. Cheers and God bless you always!
It's beautiful.
I have aloe vera and its flowering
i will collect any types of socculents
I love what you created!!! A couple of questions: What does air drying them do and couldn't you do the same by planting, but not watering for a few days? How deep do you plant cactus...some look just at the base or is is the rootball? And some look deeper. Thank you for this lovely video!
Air drying will help heal the broken roots before being planted in the soil. If your soil is bone dry, yes you can plant them right away but don’t water it. Plant the cactus only a little on top of where the roots start, or till the previous soil level of the cactus.
New friend here sending my full support . See you around... waiting❤....
I love it
Awesome
👍🌵🌼☀️😊
Hey Ana I love the end result of your cactus bed it’s gorgeous!
Inspired with yours I decided to make one for my garden too but the people that made it gave me organic soil for vegetables that doesn’t drain at all what would you recommend me to do to fix it and plant my cactai.
Thanks I always watch your videos💚
Add a lot of inorganic materials to it to make it well draining. Lava rocks, pumice, perlite whichever is available in your area. Also use porous top dressing like lava rocks so that moisture can evaporate faster. Good luck! Creating a garden is so fun. 😊👍🏼
@@CactusCaffeine thank you so much I really appreciate your advice! I’m also from Vegas so I’m going to see what I can find in Star Nursery.
Thank you again!
Hey Ana do you ever have to worry about frost damage? I am quite into weather which comes in handy with knowing what I can grow in my climate but I did some looking into la Vegas winters and I notice that the lowest you seem to get is about -5c which is 23f, here we get to -10, 14f at absolute lowest. I know stuff like humidity plays in aswell as cacti don't like that but I was just curious haha
UK Plant Grower, hi yes. Vegas is known for having extreme weather changes. In winter we get down to below freezing that is why I have a greenhouse and I use my garage also to overwinter plants. It does not snow all the time because we have low humidity but 2 years ago, it snowed for 3 straight days. On freezing temps, I cover some of my cactus in ground with a burlap. 🙂 A lot of work. 😉
Wow!! I wish i have like this garden. Does the spines of mammillaria bocasana or rebutia or gymnocalicium re grow after they are damaged??. And i shut be worry or fine about my mammillaria bocasana who have damaged spines??
I’m not sure if they grow back. But I wouldn’t worry about a few damaged/lost spines. It should not affect your cactus growth. They are hardy. 😉
We only can remove pups from the mother plant in the summer?? We can in winter?
Preferably. But you may do it in the winter time but it might be harder to have the pups root in very cold weather.
Okay.. mammillaria mystax grow back spines again? If theyre damaged? Because someone told me that will happend if i put it regulary in the sun light. So what do u think???
How do you trim Cacti?
Will the fishes be alright considering the heat? :S
Gail B, we placed the fishes in there at the height of summer (August). The pond is deep enough and the pot thick enough to provide some insulation, I guess. Winter will be another test. But the fish store told us they are tough. (fingers crossed 🤞) 🙂
SANA PO mABIGYAN NYO PO AKO KAHIT SEED LANG PO
