  • I cut, propagate and Root cactus pads in this video. I have an opuntia ficus-indica cactus in the garden that I wanted to propagate and use it as a bank stabilizer and a fence. Here I show you how I cut and root a Nopal or penca cactus.

    Thank you for this video! I was just gifted some Nopales and was researching on the best way to propagate them. I will definitely be trying the methods you provided in this video.

    看了很多影片都只有切下來放土裡.沒想到這影片還有幾週甚至幾個月後的實況可以對照,非常好.證明了這個方法是可行的.

      @@BriansGreenGarden I watched a lot of cacti propagation videos, but they just cut them off and put them on the soil. I didn’t expect that this video would also show the actual situation weeks or even months later for comparison. This is very practical. It directly proves that your method is feasible!

    I have two large patches of prickly pear that are suddenly dying (4000', SE Arizona). I wonder if it could be the result of herbicide spraying by nut farms next door.

      Oh, that´s too bad! How old is it? I´ve heard they have a life span of about 80 years. Similar to us humans. Herbicidal spraying is definitely a top suspect though. Overwatering? All the best. Hope things turn around. apps.cals.arizona.edu/arboretum/taxon.aspx?id=891

    I’m about to plant some at my house, Did you let the cut dry first or did you plant them as soon as you cat them ?

    • @BriansGreenGarden
      @BriansGreenGarden  5 месяцев назад +1

      Right on! I had them on the ground with a rock within minutes. They are doing really well. They've been there for about a year now. I could see how callousing them would improve their chances by preventing insects, mildew, viruses or whatever entering and making a home. I've been lucky perhaps. I've seen a couple spots that may have rotted a little but by this time I think even if the original pad were to totally die, the new pads are well established enough to make it on their own. I imagine it's quite dry where you are. If you had a lot of rain or over watered them, then I could see possible problems. Otherwise, they will callous up on their own while laying on the ground. Do a little experiment. Some yes, some no, and let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂. Garden on.
