I am glad this cactus recovered quickly.
It’s clear that the root system is way too small for the original pot. From what I’ve learned cactus love to be tight and root bound. If the pot is too big the water may not properly get to the root system even if it looks like it’s been watered. I’ve actually noticed this with most plants.
Yep. If you look at the size of the plant pot saucer he placed it in to get the roots wet, that's closer to the pot size he needed in circumference. A ceramic pot just a bit bigger than that would have the plant thriving.
I've had my prickly pear cactus for about 6 months now and its' new growth has been doing great. I noticed it tends to do this wrinkling and drooping thing when it's in need of water, which is about every 3-4 weeks in winter and 1-2 weeks in summer (in plastic pot). Maybe next time you see it do this, you don't need to panic and repot it, just water it and keep in mind that it will dry out slower in a plastic pot than in a terracotta one.
Thanks for the tips
great video. love the update!
Thanks!
I love terracotta pots and I rarely callous they seem to die when I do. Thank you for video.
Thank You for watching
I am so glad the plant recovered.
Yes thank you, it is fine now :)
Hola amiga espero estes bien.que linda te quedo la matita parece q esta mirando para la calle buen videito ..😊😚🙏👍
Gracias corazon, si me encanta las plantas, me cambian de humor y es teurapetico
I have a prickly pear cactus that I was given by a friend and it's doing 👍 I can't wait to see the fruit when it comes out.
Wish you lot's of luck, they are lovely indeed
@@mariasplants thank you very much.
Hi, Maria. I see one problem. After you break or cut the cactus leaves off the plant, you should let the open wound where you broke it heal over for a few days to a week in a warm dry place, but not in the direct sun, before you plant them in dirt. It is like getting a scab to cover an open wound. The plant can get an infection from the soil. You wouldn't rub a cut on your finger in the dirt, would you? Make sure the wound has sealed over and dried before you plant them.Hope it helps.
ON this plant, never had a problem, I will make an update on it soon, it has grown nicely, I deal with the opuntias for 30 years and never ran into problems, just under watered it
TX, Maria. I was thinking of new viewers who may not have planted any kind of cactus before. Also, at the end of this video you mentioned callousing it, but some new people might not know why it matters to do it. Yes, your kind of cactus look beautiful and seem to be doing so well.
You are an expert in Opuntias How nice
Maria, will you plant these outdoors in the ground when they are more mature ?
Very nice to see your plant rejuvenating..!
I was given today a mature opuntia giant cutting (there are more than 20 ears on it), it weights about 20-25 kilos, and I consider planting it as it is..!
I'm worried about wich way i could securely plant it directly - after callusing - in the earth, i mean supporting it's weight until it makes strong roots..
SO.. My major concern is "Can i bury the whole lowest ear of the cutting, or may be the two lowest ones (so as to support more of its weight), without the possibility of rotting..?
I hope i made myself understood (my poor English)...
Thanks
each ear pad has little dots were the thorns are, and that's were sometimes root come out of, Or sometime it comes out from the bottom, don't put it in too deep, and the only way it rots, is when you give it too much water, they are dry plants
Poor thing, glad it was only thirsty. Thanks for sharing love
Yes, poor little thing
Like Saludos
Igualmente
Hi Maria. Plastic and clay pots hold more moisture than terracotta pots because terracotta has pores . And opuntias wrinkle when is in dormant. So no worries. :) Is it snows?
Thank's for the head up, Now i know, "were where you when i need you"? kidding and yes it was snowing
:)
Hola hermosa me ha encantafo has un video de injerto dos plantas en uno por ejemplo cortan a la mitad a un captu y le ponen otra planta
Si se lo que hablas, pero no tengo algo grande como un arbolito para hacer eso, quizas despues lo haga, lo tendre en mente, gracias
Linda tus plantitas que belleza. Opuntia Prickly Pear no les gusta el frio? por que adentro? si estan en la tierra se crecen mas rapido Acabo de comprar una planta ya la puse en maceta hasta se acostumbre a casa despues va al gardin Y a me suscribi nice channel
Gracias muy amable Enjoy you gardening
Noooo it just needed some water... Lol To late... Oh well it should do just fine. Lol I worry about my plants too... a little to much. One of my plants is getting to tall i dont mind it but i noticed the leaves were getting smaller. So i decided its time to cut her back. I believe it's too top heavy it keeps falling over. Tfs
Ya, and here i thought it had termite, LOL , but glad it's back to normal
Termites eat timber not plants
How often do you water them? I just bought one a week ago and I already lost the new growth that it was growing.
Don't water often, all depends if it's too hot, otherwise they do not like wet feet. Here it's winter and i water once a month
Those new growths look like flower buds? :P
LOL, wish it was
I planted a bunch of seeds from a prickly pear that I ate and have 3 sprouting. Just trying to learn how to care
Just lightly water, since there small, they do need often, once there big, then they don’t need to be watered often.
@@mariasplants thank you!
I have an opuntia snow cactus. It was outside all summer and thrived. I put it inside our sun room to winter and it has started to fall over and some of the tips and growths have just fallen off. Should I include a photo (somehow?) Not sure whether it has a disease or needs more water?
check if it has any milly bugs or spider mites, they are very tiny, also phabits, leave a sticky residue, other wise too much watering, They like dry feet, NOT wet
Do we need to let the cactus heal over before planting, I heard someone say it will rot if I don't I need to transplant ours before it gets to big it grew on its own next to rose bushes. Thanks
Many people say that, but honestly, i don't wait, i plant it directly and i never had a problem with them.
How often do you water? We had to move ours they were starting to get too big in front of the roses, so far they are doing well, they are about three years old. We hope to be able to get fruits to make jam and syrup. Thanks for the video. Do you water yours to settle the dirt a little bit and just leave til rooted or just place them in dry soil, how long does it take til they get roots? The ones we transplanted had really long roots so those will be good.
@@samanthanicholson9015 I DON'T WATER, FOR 24 HOURS, AFTER THAT I WATER AROUND, JUST A LITTLE BIT, SO THE WATER DOESN'T TOUCH THE PLANT, ONLY TO MOISTEN THE SOIL, THEN I DON'T WATER TILL 2 WEEKS, AND AGAIN I WATER AROUND, SO IF THERE IS ANY ROOTS, THE ROOTS WILL SEARCH OR STRETCH FOR THE WATER, ITSELF, THAT WAY THERE IS NO OVER WATERING. THEY ARE DRY PLANTS, THAT'S WHY
I’m trying to figure out why my prickly pear hasn’t bloomed, got a start from my mom and it’s been 3 years, not one single bloom, mine is in a plastic pot, gets plenty of full sun. My sister got a start from the same plant & hers has bloomed the last two years, hers is in the ground near her brick house. She even says she never fertilizes it. Could you possibly know what’s going on with mine not blooming?
Is yours in a pot? maybe that's why
mine never bloomed either
Maria's Plants yes they are in a pot
Hi! Maria WOW your oputia roots really fast😄are u in the states? my oputia is not growing at all😣 so I think I need to check my cactus maybe somththing is wrong? Not sure. Am not use to having them inside my home. So I need to change my pot MAYBE!? Thanks Maria for sharing George 🌵 🌈
My pleasure, glad my video helps a bit, ya after i changed the pot it, fine Now, I had a huge one and since at the time i was living in small space i got rid of it, but then we moved and regret it.
Maria's Plants yes I understand I've done the same. I had to give my SISTER the mother plant when I moved to the Uk 🇬🇧 and she killed it! So sad but thankfully I took a cutting.. So happy I came across your channel FABULOUS!!! 🌈 😀 U have a new SUBSCRIBER GEORGE 🌵
In how many days does it grow roots if planted by cutting?
All depends on the temperature of your home, or if it's winter time or summer. For me it took 6 weeks, I actually will upload a video on one of my cactus that fail on the floor and i decided to put the broken ones in a different pot, and it took 4 weeks, because now it's warmer.
Can we keep them indoor?
Absolutely
