Hey Ziggy!! Thanks so much, really happy that you enjoyed the rock & cactus bed, thanks for joining the tour and wishing you a relaxing Saturday evening and wonderful Sunday too my friend!!
I never new there was so many cacti
Haha, indeed there are a lot to choose from, with a huge variety of shapes, spines, colours, blooms, etc! Happy growing!!☺️👍😉🌵🌵🌵🪴🌿🌸🌼🌺💚😎☀️🏜🙋♂️
Joe, I thoroughly enjoyed this visit with you and more of your beautiful collection! I have to say I'm still laughing because of your shirt. I love it! Thank you for educating me through the entire video and for adding the names on screen. If I were a cactus, I'd be the Old Man From the Andes. That's what I look like. I love all the Parodias. I think they are beautiful. I also love the Frankincense Tree. I have never seen one before. Thank you so much for this wonderful visit and I hope you have an excellent weekend my friend!
Haha, thanks so much, Jeff, glad you liked my t-shirt too, I must say, there is constantly so much bad and sad news everywhere when you watch tv, radio, web news etc., I think it is important to still have a bit of fun and a good laugh every now and then! Really happy that you enjoyed my collection, thanks I love all your awesome feedback! Yep, on the Old Man of the Andes, that makes two of us my friend, lol! Also glad you liked the Boswellia Frankincense tree, the large one is a cutting I got from a friend in Oman and which I managed to root and grow many years back...it grows just as slow as my cacti, but is such a fantastic plant with amazing blooms! Hope you are enjoying your Saturday, and have a super Sunday ahead too! Best wishes out to you in Georgia, USA and happy growing of course!!
Thanks so much for showing us this, just looks like you have a lot of fun in there.
Haha, love your comment, Tom!! You are most welcome my friend, thanks for joining the tour and super happy that you enjoyed it! My plants, the bats and I, we do indeed have a lot of fun in that little glass house of ours, lol! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend, take care and happy growing of course!!
Love love your collection especially the caudex and euphobias as iam into those now. Thank you for sharing
Hi Marlene, fantastic to read that you enjoyed the video, thank you so much!! Glad also that you liked my caudex plants and Euphorbia, they are some of my all time favourites too!! Thanks for watching and commenting and hope you are having a wonderful day! Take care and happy growing!!
Beautiful collection Joe!
Thanks so much, Javi! Very happy that you liked the collection! Hope you are having a great day, best wishes and happy growing of course!
You have an amazing collection Joe. Cacti are really awesome plants. I think my favorites are Euphorbias! Have a great weekend.
Hey Jena, many thanks!! Indeed I 100% totally agree, succulents including cacti of course are the most awesome plants...and Euphorbias indeed have a VERY special place in that whole group of weird & wonderfuls, haha!! Thanks, wishing you an awesome weekend too, happy growing of course!!
Awesome part two, Joe 😃 Would love to see a separate video on all your Euphorbia, you’ve got some very cool looking ones there and I’m sure plenty I’ve not heard of before haha. Thank you for sharing with us my friend. Have a wonderful evening and weekend from Edith & myself and happy growing as always 👍🏻🌵☀️🌸🌼🌺🏜
I want to see more Caudex and crassula succulents. 😊
Thanks so much, Daz, super happy that you enjoyed the collection!! Yep, noted, I will indeed put something together on the Euphorbia collection! Yeah, I know that you have some wonderful Euphorbia too, and several that I do not have either, haha!! Sending you and Edith very best cactus greetings, my friends! Have a relaxing Saturday and super Sunday ahead!! Happy growing!!
Ok noted, Dave, I have put your wishes on my to-do list too!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting, very much appreciated indeed!!
😊😊😊😊
😊😊🌵🌵 thank you!
Great presentation, Joe. Well arranged and interesting. As a friendly tip, you may want to get a slightly larger water can to replace the one that is sitting on the base of your totem pole cactus. I am impressed!
Haha, thanks Bill, great tip!! Now I finally know why it has always taken me so long to water the whole collection, lol!! Thanks for watching and commenting, my friend, really happy that you enjoyed the collection!! Enjoy your Saturday and have a great Sunday ahead!! Happy growing!!
What a beautiful collection Joe ! The video could be much much longer so fascinated are all your plants ! And yes, it woul be really nice to see your euphorbias collection in detail. I love them also and I like to watch the videos of Clyde Morris who has an amazing collection. I would be also interesting to see your caudex collection. I have about 12 of them or more I don’t know exactly. I am a big fan of pachypodium for example and I was jealous to see your gorgeous bispinosum ! 🤣 as well as your sinningia leucotricha ! Two plants I don’t have yet. Where do you buy your caudex ? Thank you again for this spectacular tour ! 🌵🌵🌵💚💚💚
Hi Anna, thank you for your awesome comments and feedback, really fantastic to read that you enjoyed the tour of my little cactus & succulent collection! Yeah I thought I would keep this tour relatively short, just to give a bit of an overview, and indeed I will follow up over time with more videos of the subsets of the collection ...noted, haha, I will definitely also cover the Euphorbia and caudiciform plants too! I totally agree, Clyde Morris indeed has a wonderful Euphorbia collection that I always love seeing too! I must say, I bought almost all of my caudex plants many, many years ago (from different sources like nurseries or also online on eBay) when very few people were interested in these plants and the prices were just a fraction of what they are now, totally crazy and out of proportion some of the asking prices that I am seeing on eBay these days!!! Have a wonderful day and very best cactus & succulent greetings to you, happy growing!! Thanks again so much for watching and commenting!!
Would love to see a video on just your euphorbia! Beautiful green house!
Thank you, very happy that you enjoyed the greenhouse! Haha, a very timely suggestion and request as I have a video coming up in a few days that will give a short overview of my Euphorbia colection. I will also have more videos coming that introduce the various parts of the collection in more detail, so please stay tuned if you are a Euphorbia fan! Have a wonderful day, happy growing!!
That sounds wonderful! Thank you so much from Montana 😊 Love your channel...
@@gaylenefranco2471 thank you so much Gaylene, truly appreciated, I am so happy that you are enjoying my channel! Best wishes for an awesome weeekend ahead and lot's of cactus greetings out to you in beautiful Montana!!
Awesome Joe!! Hey nothing wrong with a little bark on an old one!! Got a little bark on my old self too!! Hahaha 🤣 I have a 42 year old pair of lophophora, one a cluster, one single, that have quite a bit of bark below the heads, but the plants are fine. A few Euphorbias with a bit of bark on them also! Your old plants look great in that bed staging!!! Gotta love the old ones!!! Thanks for sharing Joe!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks outtoBavaria,Germany 🇩🇪 have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!! ✌️💖🌵🌿🌻🍀🌹🌴🌳🌱🌾🌸🪴🌷😃👍
I am going to your channel now and I hope to see these 40 year old Lophs! Don't leave us hangin man!
@@markgibsons_SWpottery laws prevent me showing off. You might get a glimpse
@@morrisparkintheozarks6831 I will keep watching now, even if I don't see them.. Your on another level, Sir!
Hey, Clyde!! Hahaha, I had to laugh so hard when I read your comment, indeed nothing wrong with a little bark on an old one, LOL!!! Words of wisdom, Clyde, totally agree, gotta love the old ones!! I'm very happy that you liked the staging and also the cacti & Euphorbia - I find your Euphorbia collection awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting, as always really appreciated!! Sending you lot's of cactus greetings to Morris Park in the Ozarks, have a terrific Thursday and also weekend ahead, take care my friend!
Love your collection. ❤️❤️👍 Euphorbia plants and I are incompatible, I just can't keep them alive. 🙄
Just posted a comment about that.
My trouble species is Lophophora and propagating succulents from cuttings. 😮💨
@@1neAdam12 I've become a fan of crassula succulent varieties. They don't die & are easy to propagate. 🤣
Thanks Dave, very happy that you liked the collection! Yeah, they are not the easiest plants to grow, I do agree with you! Especially in the winters, quite a few of them can be a bit tricky and fussy with the temperatures they need (definitely not happy when cold).
Watched an older video of Lynn's of Desert Plants of Avalon, (as if she needs an introduction), where she went over the top three species she found most difficult to grow. Now seeing this video, I remembered just how difficult it is for me to grow succulents from cuttings. I just can't seem to get it. Ziggy lays a few leaf cuttings on dry soil for a month, and each one sprouts roots. Mine just shrivel up and expire. Guess I need to add those on my list of 'impossible grows' along Lophophoras.
Spray em with rain water to stop them drying out and use healty thick leafs or cuttings, only cacti cuttings you can leave dry to root but i spray my cuttings to stop them drying and i root most of trimmings just to learn the best or fastest way
@@andersnrregren9087

I do spray them with rainwater now and again like Anders says Adam, but I keep them in partial shade as well mate 😊
@@ZiggySearchfieldCactus patience is also needed. My sedum hernandezii and crassula tetragona cuttings have just sat there for 2 months. They're just now showing growth.
@@dkstott29 This is true Dave, the lilac echinopsis I just featured sat with no roots for a year and then suddenly put a root out 😮🌵
Hi Joe! Maybe someday you can tell us all how that display table drains and how deep it is. I did not know that Parodia get all that corking..mine must not be old enough. I have a big and round Parodia penicillata and another parodia that you have but you did not mention its name. I think it may be something akin to Parodia mueller-melchersii...yours is left of a white rock sort of in the middle of the table. I like your giant gasteria little warty! Happy growing!
Hi Terry! Yep noted, sure thing, I will definitely do something specifically just on the setup and maintenance of the table! It is only about 15 cm deep, basically a large, self-made (glued) tray made of acrylic 'glas' - and it indeed has a "drainage level" of coarse grit at the base of the substrate, with a drainage hole at the base of that to allow access water to escape of course.
The corking indeed only sets in with relatively mature and older plants, many of mine on the table are between 20 and some even 30 years old! So happy that you enjoyed all the plants, thanks for watching and commenting! I think the plant you mean is indeed P. mueller-melchersii, well spotted!! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend, take care and best wishes! AND happy growing indeed, haha!!
Every time i see a cacti i want from your collection i find out that alot of them are not cold hardy at all and i only keep my greenhouse frost free and i have no real inside/indoor for them when winter comes, so i will have to enjoy them in your collection
What is your hardiness zone?
@@1neAdam12 about a us zone 8b but i dont have a house to put them in so i heat the greenhouse with a gas heater half the year
Thanks Anders, well I do also keep all of my cacti that you are seeing in this video at only 5-6 degrees C during the winter, so not very far off from "only frost free". It is indeed the Euphorbia however that need a minimum of 12-5 C, and I had some losses there last winter as I thought I could drop to 10C ...but several of them did not like that, and rather quickly said good-bye, very sadly.
@@cactusjoe greenhouse is at 6c all winter but this winter we had a week of minus 15 days and minus 19c nights and the geenhouse went to minus one for a night or two and i lost a few hardy so i will not try the non hardy befor i made a new greenhouse
@@andersnrregren9087 yep, I totally understand, Anders, that makes a lot of sense! Indeed, I remember, we had those couple of brutally cold nights here too, just before X'mas i think it was! Have a relaxing Saturday evening my friend!
Frankincense tree!!! that tree is sooo valuable you will have to keep the sap harvesters out of your yard... and the totem pole,.. are you the one who originated that cultivar? I don't see them that old ever!! and what would I have to give you for that branch pup? I am just kidding, Sir,.... Sir, put down the bear spray, sir,... I was kidding! I wouldn't want to harm that beauty... I can tell you love it as much as I would! I will find a totem some day! Your totem is admirable to say the least!
Hey, very happy that you liked the Frankinsence tree as, well as the Totem Pole Cactus, yeah they are both quite old plants ...all it takes is a bit of patience and all those usually smaller plants on sale out there will get there too, haha! And no worries, no bear spray here, last time I checked, haha! Have a great day and thanks for watching and for all your fun comments, really appreciated!
Love your collection Joe beautiful thank you so much for your informative videos was wondering if I sent a picture of one of my cactus if you could help identify it
Hi Kim! Many thanks for your lovely feedback, really glad you found the video informative and enjoyable! Yes of course, just send me a picture to my email address and I will take a look, perhaps I can help. Best wishes, take care and happy growing!!
Joe can you please tell me how to get the cactus photo to you via your email
Hi Kim, connect via Instagram @cactusjoe61 seems to work well! Kind regards, Joe 😊🌵😎
Hi Joe! I have a video request for sometime in the future. I think you are the best cactus person to shed light on the subject. I often think it would be nice to know my plants’ “body language” and be able to recognize and respond to it. For instance, some of my cacti and succulents get a dark body when they need water. Within a day or two after watering, I see them return to a more green color. For my cactus, I can often see them grow and expand after a good watering. Their wrinkles go away and they stand taller. They actually can look like they’ve grown over night. With some of my gasteria and aloes, I notice that the leaves can be flatter and closer to the ground and other times they are more erect. What are they trying to say? Also, aloe plants are reliable for their constantly changing colors. More sun will bring out more color. What exactly is happening? Why can plants do what some people call “melting”? What is the tipping point to induce a “meltdown” and how can you avoid one? Are there other body languages that you are familiar with such as bending toward the light? How about the language of forming a flower stalk? What does that say about how the plant is doing? I think this could be a very educational discussion and one that you are very suited for. It’s a big ask, I know. Might take awhile to capture the befores and afters. But if you already know how to talk to your plants, it might be doable!
Hi Terry! Wow, that is a fantastic thought and idea, and very kind of you to say such nice things, I feel a bit like a cactus whisperer or succulent plant physiotherapist now, hahaha! Actually, it is quite a subject, as you say, perhaps not so easy to cover but I will try to work on it, will collect some ideas and video material, let me see what I can do! But, from your question and all the excellent examples in your comment, it is clear that you yourself are an experienced cactus whisperer! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend, thanks again for your fantastic feedback and ideas, Terry, take care and happy growing!
I have another idea!! I was watching a video the other day and someone said that every cactus has a story. "LightBulb!" What an excellent thought to guide a cactus tour. Because you know most of your cactus has a story that you will never forget!
@@cactusjoe
@@TerryJent thanks, Terry, indeed another wonderful idea! Enjoy your Sunday!
Great collection Joe! Where are you located?
Thanks very much @Jeterfan95 , much appreciated and very happy that you like the collection! I am based in Bavaria, southern Germany. I take it that you grow cacti and other succculent plants too? Where are you based? Have a great day, best wishes and happy growing!
@@cactusjoe Yes, I love cactus too! I live in Iowa which is one of the United States midwestern states. There is only 2-3 native cactus here because it gets too cold in the winter time.
@@Jeterfan95 thanks, that's so cool, at least you have some native cacti ... none here, I'm afraid... just a few in my little greenhouse, lol!!
Nice collection but why you don't have any Opuntia in your collection?
Joe has got some Opuntias but he keeps them in the bathroom like I do 😊😊🌵🌵
Thanks so much, Adis, really very happy that you enjoyed the collection! Ziggy is right of course, haha, ...well, seriously, I love seeing Opuntia cacti, especially their flowers, when they are growing anywhere else but in my small greenhouse, ....I mean, those glochids, arrgh, I can definitely do without them!!! I actually really like and have quite a number of smaller other opuntiod cacti, like Pterocactus, Tephrocactus, Maihuenia, etc. but they were not really featured directly in this video tour. If you would like to see my spectacularly flowering Pterocactus, I just released a video about a month ago on that one...on my channel if you are interested! Have a great day and best wishes, happy growing!
