Genius repotting method!! Thank you! 🥢🌵
This was like the greatest thing I ever saw lol I used to just not repot my cacti ever
I've been trying to research more hanging cacti to put in a macrome hanger and I love this one you have!!! Thanks for the video 👏🏻👏🏻
Ashley Aukes I actually used to have this guy in a macrame! For me personally one problem was the little spines would stick to the rope of the macrame. Personally if you’re looking for a hanging cari to put in one I love rhipsalis particularly the mistletoe cactus since they have no spines! I hope that helps thanks so much for watching 🥰🌵
In the summer time I had my hanging on my deck away from the sun and would spray the water hose on it { just a little} and it loved it, grew like crazy!
Leaf Me Alone Plants drinking game: Take a shot every time I say Cactuses instead of Cacti 🍻
🙀really?
So I went in my local nursery to buy Ric Rac cactus, but ended up getting Rat Tail, I just couldn't resist, it looks so cool! Thanks for the video!
Kate Archer lol it was the same for me I didn’t really have any intention of buying one but when I saw them all hanging in the shop I just had to get one 😍🌵 thanks for watching Kate!
I bought one of these over the summer and hung it in a southern window. It seemed to love it until I watered it... ugh the needles started turning brown. I didn't think I watered it too much but took a look at the roots and they weren't there! It's Nov and I am waiting for my root hormone to arrive from amazon today! I'm hoping it will help it root even though it's in the dormant season. Great video!
Wow thank you so much! I have a rat tail a friend gave me. It wasn’t very happy! I put it under an architect light. It’s metal with a long arm. It has good direct light. I put it on a timer. Well it is gorgeous now! So happy and has reproduced to be full & green! I haven’t transplanted it due to not knowing how am I going to do that!?????? Your example is perfect I’m on my way to getting that off my list!! Thank you!! 💜🙏🏻
Thanks so much for watching and it sounds liek your plant is doing amazing I hope once you have time to transplant everything goes smoothly I used to dread repotting my cacti!
I got this cactus last year. The same thing happened to me with direct sun. Now it’s in the shaded area and it’s thriving
I sadly made that mistake a few times with jungle cacti, I assumed because they were “cacti” they liked sun 😅😅🌵
Was it brown and became green again?. I repotted mine and got the mix too dry (didn'tknow that was possiblebut put too much perlite). Turned it brown and hope I can green it back up by adding little more soil to the mix.
Nice, I don’t really do many cactus. But that’s nice.
I used to think all cacti and succulents were boring but this guy is a personal favorite of mine!
Can you plant the little flowers, they seem to have a seed pod on the end that was attached to the cactus.
I call them tentacles too, but I think they are called arms 🤔 I could be wrong though. Either way I'll keep calling them tentacles 😆. I just received monkeytail cacti seeds today, I can't wait for them to grow. 💚🌵🌿 Great video, as always ✌
Aleina Coddington lmao tentacles I love that that’s officially what I’m calling them here on out 😂 I’ve been waiting to find the perfect money tail cactus but I might have to just break down and settle for some seeds they’re so gorgeous 😍
Wow, nice video. Love your energy. I think you call them branches, areoles? I appreciate your sharing experience with rat tails because I want a golden and rat tail like yours.
Thanks so much for the kind words and checkign out the video also thank you for sharinf thay I think you are right on the name!!
I have a 3 year old Rat tail. I leave it out in full sun. I got mine about the same size you have and it's 5x bigger now.
WOW I bet that plant is absolutely gorgoeus 😍😍😍
Hi. Thanks for the great video. I’ve just got one of these beauties and will repot it into a fresh soil mix. When propagating, after you’ve cut and put them in the soil how long is it recommended to wait before watering please? Do they need time to callous over? Thanks, Emma
Hey Emma, so personally I like to let my cuttings callus for 1 or 2 days prior to putting in soil and then I just water like normal from there I hope that helps and I hope this plant is doing well for you!
@@LeafMeAlonePlants awesome! Thank you so much. Love your videos 🥰
Yes. Callous a cactus before planting. A plant cannot drink without roots. If it doesn't have roots you are putting water on a plant so it rots the plant. You might mist the top soil to encourage root growth. I've seen arguments for and against that, but no watering the plant until you tug an arm and it resists...that means its rooted. Plant 1" deep.
I have a rattail cactus and its appendages, (for lack of a better word for the hangy downy parts) are very thin. Should I prune them back and if so how far. It's pretty long, 2.5 feet or so. Do I have to worry about the bottom parts of the cactus being bigger than some of the upper parts? It will be in much better light now. Thanks. Enjoyed your video.
Sorry for the late reply! Usually when the new growth of the cactus are thin it’s usually that it’s not getting enough light but it sounds like you were already on top of it! I hope this guy is doing well for you! 🌵🤩
I got one recently and the soil is b o n e dry it is winter and it'll be winter for like 3 more months how long can it go without water?
Hello. I enjoyed your video and I just got a Rat's tail cactus. I was wondering are they fast growers?
Hey Laura welcome to the rat tail club! I would say they are moderate grower, really fast for cacti but a little slow compaired to other trailing plants!
Thanks for the video! I'm trying to figure out what the difference is between this and a Peanut cactus. Do you know that one? I inherited a cactus from my friend and can't tell if it's a peanut or rat tail....and it's never bloomed, so I don't know.
Hey Pam! I dont have one myself but the peanut cactus looks slightly thicker and heartier than the rat tail! I cant say for sure but I would imagine these can probably handle a little more sun and drought than the rat tail (which in my opinion can be a little needier than most cacti) They look gorgeous though I hope iys going well for you
@@LeafMeAlonePlants thank you so much for this reply. Based on what you said, I think I have a rat tail!
What type of soil should I use to repot? I also live in AZ and it is going to hang in a shaded patio!
What a small world! I have mine in a standard cactus mix and it seems to do just fine with that. However with these being an epiphyte, you can get away with something pretty chunky, sometimes for them I like to add a little extra bark or pumice. hope that helps thanks for watching!
Also from AZ. How is it doing on the shaded patio? I'm trying to figure out where to put mine.
@Leaf Me Alone- where do you keep yours?
How do you propagate this plant of rat tail?
I’ve just got monkey tail cactus 4 stems and they all have a small root.
Do you use hormone powder or just soil used for snake plants with worm
Casting?
Thats so exciting thats my #1 wishlist plant right now! So personally I only use rooting hormone prior to any roots have formed I would be a little nervous about it being too much for new roots and opt for soil with worm castings (thats my favorite way to fertilize) but thats just me! I hope these develop well for you thanks so much for watching!
@@LeafMeAlonePlants
Thanks you so much for the information. We both think
alike 🥰. I’ll spray them in a few days my soil is one dry
I do like to mix my own soil, it’s part of the fun 🤩
Tough plant i had one shipped to me and it got lost in
The postal system for over a week and survived the cold temperatures and darkness
I was expecting the worst when opening the box
I have the Golden Rattail but it's looking rather phallic at the moment 🤣
This made me actually laugh out loud 😅
Tails
I can't understand what you're saying about the watering at all. You're rushing through your words and I can't make out anythjng..I am southern...so I speak and apparently hear in a drawl.
Please try to speak cleary
Working on it 😂
Are you married?
Married to the plant hustle 😂😂😂
@@LeafMeAlonePlants I'll take that as a no, when covid is done and dusted i will get on the first plane out of Melbourne Australia and we can meet up and talk cacti!!!!!!
