Astrophytums look like they have come out of an icing tube. I love them! Your collection is amazing, and so old, I loved seeing you highlight them. Thank you! Watched twice! 🌵🌵🌵🌵💕😀
haha yes they really do look like they have come out of an icing cube with their shapes haha :-D so happy you watched the video twice too and enjoyed it
Fantastic video Lyn, thank you for making this one, Edith & I enjoyed watching this one together 😊 Great to see the asterias from us both are doing well 🥰 You have some real beauties there with those big Astros, and as you say there’s some very interesting looking hybrids available now too, there’s lots more I’m wanting as Astrophytum is one of my favourite genus. Thank you again Lyn, from Edith & myself to you and Hans, have a wonderful evening ❤️😊🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
❤️❤️❤️
So happy you loved the video Daz and Edith :-D and I am so sorry for only making the video now, and guess what ? I forgot to add my Astrophytum nudum in the collection, it was hiding behind the other cacti haha and that is one of the best of them, I only realised once I had uploaded the video haha, but I will include it in the polytunnel update this month, the wonderful Astro's you guys gifted us are doing so well too, we LOVE them :-D thanks so much Daz and Edith for your wonderful comments and for watching and Hans and I are sending you both an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle to England and Singapore for a fantastic afternoon XXXXX

Lovely collection Lyn!
June 2024... I just found an Astrophytum type..it's very spikey and it's green with white speckles!! $8...in a 2in pot.. but its healthy and BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thats fantastic you have bought an Astrophytum Michelle, they really are incredible and if its very spiky and has the white speckles it could be an Astrophytum ornatum, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Sunday XXXX
Great video thanks Lyn. 💕🌵💕
So happy you loved the video Cher and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle to Queensland, Australia for a fantastic Thursday XXXXX
Nice little astrophytum collection! Used to have a few of these. My huge ornatum I lost a long time ago of root rot, it was about 18 inches tall, a real nice one. The rest I lost in the greenhouse freeze a few years back. I just bought 4 myriostigmas last summer. Well bought 3 got one free. One is a mutation with some bumps growing in between the margins. They are still small, about one and a half to two inches across. About the size of the two plants Daz gave you, which by the way are AWESOME!!! Would like to get a few more varieties again. All in good time😊 From Morris park in the Ozarks to across the Emerald isle have a good evening guys!!!!!
Tragic to lose an Astrophytum at that size, (18 inches). Ultra slow growers these, must have been decades old.
@@demonhalo67 yes , especially the huge ornatum. The others the freeze got when my stove malfunctioned and it dropped to 20°F ! Many cacti & euphorbias survived cause I keep them dry over the winter, but the astros did not. Yes quite a loss. From Morris park in the Ozarks have a great day!!
So happy you love the Astrophytum collection Clyde :-D thats such a shame that you lost your big Ornatum and the others in the greenhouse freeze, I bet your new myriostigmas are going to be incredible bloomers for you very soon :-D the wonderful variety of so many of these beauties makes a wonderful choice for us cactus growers haha :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching Clyde and Hans and I are sending you and beautiful Deb an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle to Morris Park in the Ozarks for a wonderful Wednesday today XXXXX
Astrophytums are very nice plants. The bishops cap cactus the absolute favourite from this group becouse of their "plump" form and showy yellow radiant flowers around mid Spring. This year, given the appalling late winter storms, and (so far), early spring rainfall:- no buds have even started to yet form on my Astrophytums at all. Only two cacti have so far produced any spring buds:- my trusty Stenocactus Multicostatus, (the first one for a seventh year in a row,) and my Mammilaria Backebergiana. Both rather mature plants. I'm certain my lack of Spring buds is down to the lack of sunshine, which at this time of year in England has been well down compared to recent years.
So happy you love Astrophytums so much too, they really are so incredible :-D yes the Winter has been so awful for us and so much rain and grey heavy cloud cover and storms every weekend, there is another storm forecast for tomorrow too, its been horrible, so looking forward to spring and lets hope we get a real summer this year too after this endless wet and rain, the lack of sunshine really does affect the bud production, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a wonderful Wednesday XXXXX

So beautiful collection! I have yet to see the flowers from my astros. But seeing yours, I can’t wait! 25 year old astro- very WOW! Amazing. And to think you’ve moved a few times and they survived all that. 👍🏼
So happy you loved the Astro collection Ana :-D its amazing how tough these plants are, and we are going to be moving again this year too haha, it will be fun and games indeed :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and CAFFEINE and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle to Las Vegas for a wonderful Wednesday XXXXX
I applaud you for how fast you can move while filming inside the polytunnel, without accidently getting poked😄,, i made a mistake once of accidently brushing a microdaisy opuntia!😅
Ah yes the Opuntia Microdaisy's spines are evil. I have one cantered in the middle of a pot surrounded by much taller cactus so I do not forget it's there when watering and accidentally touch it.
OMGOLLY haha yes the microdasys is one of the worst as the glochids stick to the skin like glue LOL! thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a wonderful Wednesday XXXXX
They are gorgeous Lyn, and they look so very nice and healthy :))
I am so happy that the Astrophytums have come through the winter well and I am so looking forward to seeing the blooms on them this year again :-D thanks so much Fernanda for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle to Portugal for a fantastic afternoon XXXXX

All plant collector know's that astropyhtum cactus is beautiful plant.
Love all your videos 💚 I'm like oooh aaaahhhh..... oh!! Got that one oh and that one lol. I saw you swoosh past one that I purchased recently but haven't got a clue of the name 🤔 hope you are both well. Much plant and cactus 💚 from me in the U.K.
So happy you love the videos Stephanie and its so wonderful to see buds starting to appear now on the plants too, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a sunny Sunday XXXX
Whoa!You must have tough ass fingers,lol,I started some San Pedro 2 yrs ago an there thriving. I'm fixing to move into this new place an it just so happens that the people who lived there before me had a San Pedro garden in front of the place.Must be a good Omen.lol...🌵🌺✨👽💚🌴
haha that is definitely a good omen Greg :-D and so happy that the San pedro you started two years ago are doing really well
I thought I have seen a Kikko Nudum. I Nice Old One.
thanks so much David for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a sunny Sunday XXXX
Thanks Lyn, I adore your Astro collection 😻 Just about my favourite cactus genus. I definitely agree that the A asterias and its hybrids can be tricky. I’ve lost several for no obvious reason: they just collapsed suddenly. My seed grown babies appear to be toughened to my conditions, but they are still very young ( the oldest are coming up 2 years), so the jury’s still out on them! It’s definitely wise to keep yours in the warm, as they are more tender than the other Astro species. I’m a bit of a sucker for the unusual Japanese hybrids tbh!
So happy that Astros are you favourite cactus species too Carol :-D so sorry that you lost several of your asterias and hybrids, they are definitely a lot more trickier to grow than the other ones in this genus, and the Japanese hybrids are so incredible I agree :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comments and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle and have a fantastic day today XXXXX
Hi Lynn! I love your collection of astrophytum! I have 4 of the 6 species. I’m missing the caput Medusae and Coahuilrnse
Thats fantastic you have Astrophytums too, they are incredible plants and so beautiful with their appearance, I have the caput Medusae on my wish list too haha :-D thanks so much Lola for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Wednesday XXXX
You inspired me 🥰to make a you tube channel!lol! I saw your passion in taking care of your cacti and other plants!
@@patientplantloverinnorthca6852 YIPPEEEE :-D I have just subscribed to you now and I am am so looking forward to watching your vids, you have INCREDIBLE plants XXXXX

Were you able to do a care video? I'd love to lear more about the cycles they go through in winter
Hi Brenda :-D thanks so much for asking, I will make a care video on these wonderful Astrophytum cacti in the coming weeks, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday today XXXX
nice
Thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching XXXX
you are welcome
@@TalhasRooftopGarden XXXX
Could you please do a video on melocactus care, and when to water them?
Hi there :-D yes I will definitely make a video in the New year on How to care for Melocactus, they are Tropical cacti and like different care from the more commonly seen Desert Cacti, XXXX
Fantastic video Lyn, so many things ive learnt watching your Chanel :) . had to do a few rescues this winter and so far looking good. the only one thing im dreading is i need to separate 4 different ones whats out grown its zinc pot and put them all in there own pots but very unsure how to even get them out and separate without damaging them. any ideas i be grateful as i want to get them in new pots and plenty time before they get first water after winter :)
So happy you enjoyed the video Stephen, and thats wonderful that you have had success with your rescues, I am in the same boat too LOL! as I have a bowl with two Mammillaria,s and Agaves and a few other mixed cacti that are totally cramped together in the same bowl and desperate for a repot, and I am going to re pot them into their own pots and when I do I will film a video showing the whole process as I will have to very gently separate the roots and the plants so they dont get damaged, but I wont be re potting for another month, but if you can wait then I will show the whole process and hopefully this will help you too when you separate yours to re pot, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a wonderful Wednesday XXXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Thank you Lyn for your reply. currently all the cactus in the metal container still look pretty full of water and have not watered them since end of summer so im sure they wont need watering for a while yet. wondering is it best to have wet soil or bone dry when separating them. the only thing i can think of when removing them is use some tin cutting snipers on both sides then bend it apart so then i should be easy to remove but separating is a whole new thing so i will wait till you post a vid of doing it. had them years so want to do it with the least damage as possible . looking forwards to your video. thanks again lyn, PLANT POWER
@@stevekenilworth Thanks so much Steven :-D its definitely best to have the soil as dry as possible, and thats a fantastic idea with the tin cutting snipers, XXXXX
How big will the smallest ones get?
Hi there, some of the smaller Astrophytums can be very slow growing and it can depend on the type of Astrophytum, but most Astrophytums can grow large especially the Astro ornatum, the smallest ones I have will eventually grow to the size of a large tomato when they mature, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful Sunday XXXX
Almost bid on an ornatum today but now sad I didnt hah.
Oh no sometimes its difficult to know what to do when we see a plant we want haha, I always often regret not buying afterwards, but its always a dilemma when I have so many and think 'Oh I can't buy any more' haha but then I regret it haha, yes I know the feeling LOL! XXXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon Hah exactly! I have 0 room left for cacti or any plants for that matter buut then you feel like your missing out.

My cactus has turn the light green can u help me
Hi Paul, there can be many reasons why your cactus has turned yellow, and can be down to the roots or and the soil, the water and or soil pH, bugs on roots or plant, under or over potted, not enough or too much light, not enough fertilising, or root rot etc, but I am planning on making a video very soon all about Chlorosis ( yellowing of Cacti ) and the many reasons on why this can happen and what you can do to prevent and to treat it, and hopefully it will help you, thanks so much for watching and stay tuned for the future video in the next week or two, XXXX
