    I just put this Astrophytum on my wishlist 1 or 2 days ago, small seedlings are easy and cheap to come by here in NL. Great to see them out and about in mature form

    Crushing it Manuel, there's a foot of snow outside and my brain/soul really appreciates the desert time. I've never seen one in the wild but wondered if you've crossed paths with any MYR-OR or other Astro hybrids while down there?

      I’m glad you’re enjoying it! Thanks for coming along! I haven’t seen any hybrids partly because I’ve visited type localities for all species, where they don’t share range with one another but I’d love to see some hybrids for sure!

    Thanks for sharing another great video. Generally speaking, do you normally visit government lands or private?

    • @RareCactus

      Thanks for watching Bill! I do visit both, although I prefer private land as nothing deters poachers like an armed guard 😅

    Genuine question here. What is the consensus on seed collection for the average enthusiast? Obviously people tend to abuse everything but is it generally acceptable to take a few seeds and or seed pod? any input?

    • @RareCactus
      @RareCactus  5 месяцев назад

      I think it’s best to buy seed from cultivation and take nothing from habitat 🤓

    Hello, I would like to ask if COPIAPOA CINEREA can survive a water outage for more than 2 months?

    • @feifeiyan9322
      @feifeiyan9322 4 месяца назад

      I want it to grow slowly like the place it was born in, but not die.

    Your channel is nice. I agree we shouldn't take endangered cacti, but I do harvest wild prickly pear here in missouri to grow so I suppose I'm a hypocrite

    • @RareCactus
      @RareCactus  2 месяца назад

      I don’t think you are, since those grow very fast and aren’t endangered! Thanks for watching. Welcome 📺

    Many cacti have medicinal uses. This is the sorrowas as does the San Pedro cacti. Many different uses.. so beneficial to the human spirit!
    Better understanding of what there and it's there for us to make use of.... Many benefits from the great wonders of the San Pedro cactus... Beautiful is the only way i can convey my experience... BEAUTIFUL!!

    • @RareCactus
      @RareCactus  5 месяцев назад +1

      They’re amazing but truly there for their own sake, not for us to use and take 😅 Saddly everything humans see worthy of “use” gets destroyed instead of protected.

    I really enjoyed seeing those Ariocarpus and Astrophytums. How cold does it get there in Queretaro Miguel? I grow Ferocactus glaucescens and they can withstand temperatures down to 17℃ surprisingly, and there are some big ones growing in my neighbourhood under house eaves.
