Unboxing New Cacti For My Cactus Collection & Greenhouse | Plant Haul | Kakteen Niess
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Join me with the exciting #unboxing of a recent online order of new cactus plants that I made with Kakteen Niess, a specialist nursery for cacti and other succulents from Austria. The wonderful new plants that are unpacked include some awesome Mammillaria and Coryphantha, all new species to my cactus collection in my greenhouse. Plants from both cactus genera are relatively popular as many of them are quite easy to grow and they have fantastic flowers and blooms!
Also, there are two very special and rare inter-genus cactus hybrids: a hybrid between Ferocactus and Leuchtenbergia as well as a hybrid between Thelocactus and Leuchtenbergia. These are very closely related genera and in recent years these hybrids have been succesfully bred and grown. They are not offered for sale in nurseries very often, but I managed to purchase these online and they are featured in the video.
I hope you enjoy the unboxing!
Cheers,
Joe

Beautiful cactus collection thank you for sharing god bless
Thank you so much Dhollie, fantastic that you like the cactus collection and unboxing video! Many thanks for watching and for your wonderful comments, have a wonderful day and week, happy growing!!
Fantastic unboxing video. Always exciting to see the new additions to your collection. The two hybrids look positively alien!
Hi Justin! Haha, indeed they do look quite weird and alien don't they!? I'm so curious to see what their flowers will look like one day! Thanks as always for your awesome feedback, super happy that you enjoyed the video, thanks so much for watching! Enjoy your Monday and have an awesome rest of the week ahead, best wises and happy growing my friend!!
All your new cactus looks amazing Joe, but I have an answer, and isn't only for you: Does a cactus collector ever says ''Enough!''
@Flowers Zone haha, that is indeed a brilliant question! I am afraid the answer is most likely and honestly "...not really"! There is always this "natural" rule that I have learned exists over the years which is that plant collections rarely become smaller, mostly they keep growing, haha! But luckily there is a physical limit to how many plants I can grow per square meter...! Thanks for watching and commenting, very happy you liked the new cacti! have a wonderful Monday and awesome week ahead, happy growing and flowering of course!!
@@cactusjoe you are making all of us add to our lists again, with these great unboxing videos! lol!! And no in answer to flowerszoneforever, it is very hard to say ENOUGH!! 😳Good to be back here again Joe, I have missed watching your videos! 💚🌵😊
@@LadyLee223 Hello, aww thank you so much, that is very kind of you, and welcome back, excellent to have you back in this crazy cactus and plant community, haha!! And indeed you are spot on with your reply to @Flowers Zone haha it is (theoretically) possible, but indeed TOO hard to say ENOUGH, for that, these plants and flowers are just too nice, lol!!
@@cactusjoe I totally agree Joe! And thank you for your kind words, you are always so gracious. I LOVE your videos, and will catch up with what I missed today. They help feed everyones addiction I would think! 😉Your community of viewers here are all so supportive and kind-I love being a part of this! Thank you for that! 🙏🌵💚🌺😊
Love your new cacti🥰
Wonderful unboxing.
So many beautiful and unusual plants.
Love the way you show the potted plants.
Your style of potting up shows the plants so well.
Thanks for sharing

Hey Daz! Many thanks indeed and so happy that you enjoyed the latest unboxing and plant haul! Great to hear that there was something new there for you too - I must say, I had read about these Leuchtenbergia hybrids before but noever owned any of them, so I am really looking forward to seeing them grow and hopefully also bloom one day!

Wonderful unboxing Joe😌🙏💖🌵The mammillarias are awesome and beautiful to have in a collection. Those hybrids add joy to the hobby and I too are looking forward to seeing the blooms😊I enjoyed watching🤲🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Hello Newman, brilliant that you watched and enjoyed this most recent cactus unboxing video, and really happy of course that you enjoyed the plants! Yes indeed, I too am sooo looking forward to seeing these weird hybrids bloom one day in the future! Hope you are having a wonderful Monday and wishing you an awesome rest of the week ahead, cactus greetings to Japan!
Those leuctenbergia hybrids are awesome!!! I've seen the " ferobergia" before in a book. It was a variagated plant developed by an old cactus grower in California by the name of Gil Tegelberg from years ago. Really an awesome box of plants there!!! Not going to order till April. Have my eye on a leuctenbergia and a Euphorbia medusoid hybrid I will order then. Thanks for sharing your awesome box of new plants!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, out to Bavaria, Germany 🇩🇪,have a wonderful week ahead!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🥀🌳🏵🌿🌸🌷🌱🌲🌹🌴🌾🌻🪴💐🍀😃👍
Hey Clyde! Thanks so much and really superb that you enjoyed the box full of my new plants! I agree with you, those weird and alien-looking hybrids are quite something, I had only read about them in the past and was really super happy to be able to finally get my hands on these two - and I am super excited to one day hopefully also see their flowers! And most surprisingly, they were not even that expensive on the online order shop of this nursery! Yeah it is a good idea to wait for warmer weather with ordering plants - I used an intermittent mild weather phase to place this order. Once again many thanks, for watching and commenting! And sending tons of cactus greetings to you at Morris Park in the Ozarks my friend! Take care, Peace, Love, Plants!!
YAY unboxing time haha :-D and WOWSERS all of your new Cacti are absolutely GORGEOUS Joe :-D we LOVE them all and its like Cactus Christmas hahaha, and WOW with the Thelobergia and the Ferobergeia, we have never seen those gorgeous hybrids before, they are all such beauties and wonderful choice of new cacti you have chosen, thanks so much for sharing the awesome unboxing of your gorgeous new stunners with us Joe, and Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Bavaria for a fantastic Sunday afternoon XXXXX
Haha, it indeed did feel a bit like Christmas all over again, Lyn! But then again, wallet now empty but no better investments than into plants is my motto, lol! So glad you enjoyed the video and also especially seeing those weird hybrids! I had read about them in the past and also only rarely ever seen them in other peoples' collections - so I was super thrilled to finally be able to call at least two of them my own, and I am sooo excited to see them hopefully flower one day! Will keep you in the loop of course, haha!! As always, thank you so much for watching, commenting and supporting, so appreciated! Hope you and hans are having a wonderful Monday and an awesome rest of the week ahead!! Cactus greetings and lot's of PLANT POWER from Bavaria across the Irish Sea to you and Hans on the awesome Emerald Isle, take care and happy growing!!
@@cactusjoe haha yes plants are the best investment haha, Hans and I would be happy to live off toast and jam for the rest of the month if we get awesome cacti hahaha XXXX :-D :-D :-D
@@desertplantsofavalon hahaha, yep, me too, toast, jam and tea while I stare at all the wonderful new plants around me, lol! Enjoy your Monday evening Lyn and Hans!!
Great to see the hybrids in your unboxing. Do they sell to the USA??
Could you reveal their website? Thx
@@dougberry51 hi Doug! Apologies for my very delayed response, but for some weird reason only just received your message... Anyways, thanks for watching and for your message! Excellent that you liked the hybrids too! Not 100% sure whether they post to the US, but best you check with them directly, their website is at www.kakteen-niess.at
Hello Joe! I enjoyed seeing your excitement while opening all your new plants. They all looked even better when they were potted by you...I am sure they consider themselves quite lucky to live in your greenhouse and to be cared for by you. I write like they can think for themselves...I consider mine to be my babies! Take care and enjoy all your new beauties!!
Hello Cheryl! Aww, that is so kind and wonderful of you to say that, thank you!! Well I hope that my cacti are all more or less comfortable growing in my little greenhouse! I think some of them are slowly getting a little bit worried and uneasy though, if any more new ones were to join the party, as there is of course a finite amount of space and cacti per square meter that I can fit inside, haha!! I am sure that also your collection of cactus babies is very lucky to be in your care! I hope that the recent cold weather in Texas was not an issue and am sure that all your plants are doing well! Sending lot's of cactus greetings, have an awesome week ahead, thanks for watching and commenting!!
Injoy it they are beautiful.

After quite some time, I wanted to comment again on one of your videos! Hopefully you still remember me 😉
Your recent video series about the flower colors was a great idea. And it was definitely fun to watch this unboxing! 👍🏻
Here in Kassel, there were a few days of wonderful sunshine this week, after many grey weeks 😄☀️
Greetings from Kassel to Bavaria!
Hallo Jacob, yes of course, really fantastic and so happy to hear from you again!! Thanks for your superb feedback, I'm so happy that you also enjoyed the recent cactus flower kaleidoscope videos, as well as this most recent unboxing, my friend!! Ja, hier bei mir in Bayern kommt die Sonne ebenso, wenn auch seeeehr zaghaft, endlich mal wieder hervor, haha! Das graue Winterwetter der letzten Wochen kann einem so richtig auf's Gemüt schlagen! Herzliche Grüße Dir, nach Kassel!
That was like Christmas in February 😁 Looks like some seed pods coming on that Mammillaria grahmii too 😎 Austria was under snow last time I went there, probably why I didn't see the cacti 😁🌵🌵
Hi Ziggy, haha, indeed it did feel a bit like another Christmas unpacking, amazing how many plants they could fit into that little box that arrived, lol!! You're absolutely right, the M. grahmii has some seed pods too, that I have collected since! Haha, indeed the cacti were all well hidden, snug and warm in the greenhouses below all of the snow!! How is the weather coming along your end, finally some signs of spring ahead, hopefully? I cannot wait!! Have a wonderful Monday and rest of the week ahead my friend!!
@@cactusjoe Tee hee 😄 It's warmed up here, was digging turf in just a T shirt today 😎 Covered everything up again this evening as there's no clouds and there could be a frost again 😨 You too my friend 😊😊🌵🌵
I enjoy watching your videos, can you make a video on what soil you use?
Hi Mikael, thanks so much for watching and commenting and I'm super happy that you are enjoying my videos! Great question and in fact., haha, great timing, as you will see a video on this topic coming up shortly on my channel - hopefully it will be useful and interesting for you! Please keep your comments coming! Have a great day and best wishes, happy growing!
@@cactusjoe Thank you very much for your reply, I will look forward to seeing it.
Hey Joe,
Thanks to this video I have discovered excellent new cacti nursery - Kakteen Niess! Very reasonable prices and, it appears, top quality. I have already made my first order yesterday 😄.
By the way, do you grow cacti from seed? It would be really nice to see the techniques you are using and the consequent results.
Best regards,
Nino
Hey Nino, thanks so much for watching and for your awesome feedback, really excellent to hear that you found the unboxing video useful! And brilliant, haha, that you "discovered" Kakteen Niess through the video, yes I can really recommend the plants from Gerald Niess, top quality! I hope that you too will be happy with your ordered plants from this nursery.
Regarding your question, yes indeed I do also grow cacti from seed, in fact many of my "mother plants" are seed grown and 20-25+ years old, some even around 50 years - see my videos on my flowering Ariocarpus, my Echinocactus grusonii, etc! In recent years I still grow from seeds, but not as much anymore, I guess I am less patient these days as I grow older, to wait for many years for the flowers to appear haha! I will indeed put a video on this topic together in the future, great suggestion, thanks!
Thanks again for commenting, Nino, wishing you a wonderful Friday evening and weekend ahead, happy growing!!
Unboxing videos get me excited for spring! Too cold here in Canada for me to do any ordering just yet for fear of freezing but am definitely taking notes here for future additions
Hey Stacey! Great to hear that you enjoyed this latest unboxing video! And happy to hear that you may take some inspirations from the video for potential future additions to your own collection, fantastic! Yes, I can imagine that the tempratures in canada are quite a bit lower even than mine here, so indeed a safe and good decision to wait for milder weather before ordering. I used an intermittent mild phase for my order too! Have a great day and a wonderful week ahead, thanks so much for watching and commenting, sending cactus greetings to Canada!
Hi Stacey, Im in Canada too, and I use Cactus en ligne, and serres lavoie- I usually get my items within 1-2 days and never had any freezing issues. And, I have used them for many years during winter. Not that I want to help enable you to grow a bigger collection, like Joe is doing with these great videos! Ha ha ha!! We are all enabler's, and that really doesn't help keep our collections smaller now does it!!??? 🥹🤨😂 ps.....I still worry about freezing, but most places do guarantee the shipments. Having said all this, it is safer to wait until things warm up as Joe says. Until this last week or so, we were having a mild winter here in Nova Scotia. But Thursday it is saying it will be plus 14C....so i guess it is warming up again, at least until the next big freeze-which could be any day here! lol
@@LadyLee223 we got to 8C here, after that deep freeze we just had in Ontario I’ve never been so happy lol
I’ve used Cactus en linge a few times but never checked out serres lavoie, I’ll do that right away, thanks for the tip 😊
@@stacey8073 you are most welcome! Us planty people must stick together, especially when it comes to enabling! ;) Haha! Enjoy the warmer temps! 😊
Is Leuchtenberg a place name? I would have never thought of pronouncing it the way you did. Some very interesting choices! Did you mainly use 4” azalea pots to do your potting up? I did see one standard pot.
Hi Jane, many thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated as always! Yes indeed, Leuchtenberg is a small town in Bavaria, southern Germany in fact - and the plant, Leuchtenbergia principis (...it is the only species in this genus), was named, a long time ago (...I believe in the mid 1800's), after a man of nobility from this town (Duke of Leuchtenberg) who was a keen botanist, also growing cacti then! Most of the pots I used are 2" and 3" terracota half pots, so not quite as tall as the standard flower pots. Have a wonderful week ahead, best wishes and cactus greetings!
@@cactusjoe Thanks for the detailed response!!
I can see that our friendship is going to cost me a lot of money!
Hey Bill, haha so funny, I had to laugh so hard when I read your wonderful comment my friend, lol!! Well, I hope then that you did not like most of the plants in the unboxing, as that would indeed then help keeping the costs down!! As always thanks for watching and many thanks for commenting and your awesome support!! Best wishes, have a wonderful week ahead, happy growing!!
How can one order from.?
Hi Sheila, best is to check out their webpage, which I show in my video, to see where they can send online offered cacti to. And also which type of documents and paperwork required for shipping to your country of residence.
Cactusjoe.that's perfect masterpiece, later~ 🤝
Thank you so much!! Really glad you enjoyed the video, thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful comments! Enjoy your day!!
