Great video Joe!!! Nice lophos!!! Love the variety of them and your turbinicarpus!!! I only have lopho williamsii texensis and Turbinicarpus polaskii. Have only one stenocactus also, unsure of the species. Thanks for sharing your wonderful plants Joe!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, out to Bavaria, Germany 🇩🇪 have a wonderful day!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🍀🌻🌳🌱🌾🥀🌷🌴🌹🪴💐😃👍
Thanks so much, Clyde!! Very happy that you liked the Lophos and some of the other cacti and blooms! Interesting to read about your L. williamsii var. texensis - somehow I find that there appear to be quite a lot of names (fricii, decipiens, etc), floating around for what to me looks like just a "flowing spectrum" of forms, rather than distinctly different and unique ones, of one mainly L. williamsii ...but I'm not a Lopho expert, just ignorant, so there are probably more differences than I currently still appreciate, haha! What matters to me more is that the plants are all healthy and readily show off their wonderful blooms! Thanks for watching and commenting and lot's of cactus greetings going out to you at Morris Park in the Ozarks, Peace, Love, Plants and Happy Growing!!!
@@cactusjoe The texensis is just the form that is normally found in the big bend region of the chihuahua desert in Southern Texas, Northern Mexico. I think you are right on variations, I think the only real recognized species is williamsii and diffusa. This is one of those big arguments between taxonomists. As wit many plants.

Me first !
OK Bill, and I thought these rain clouds we get were meant to always all be coming from your side of the pond, haha! Will inform them - after a stop-over at Anders' place of course, as he was first - to head back your way, hope it works! We have certainly had enough of them for now! Thanks for watching and commenting my friend! Enjoy your weekend, happy growing!!
There is nothing I love more than looking through someones greenhouse and you've brought me into yours. Thank you!
Hi, many thanks for watching and for your lovely feedback, so happy that you are enjoying the tour through my greenhouse, welcome! And there will be more coming. Also, there are a few previous videos on my channel that you might find interesting too. Have a wonderful day, take care and best wishes!
Beautiful flowers Joe
Thanks so much Gary, really happy that you liked the blooms! Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated! Enjoy your day, happy growing!!😊🙏👍🌵🌱🌵🏵🌺🌼💚😎
Hi Joe! I had been looking for a new video! I enjoyed seeing the spring blooms and some other stuff never before seen such as the great T shirt, the hanging bats, and the fantastic sign on your greenhouse door. Looking forward to seeing part two in the series. Happy growing!
Hi Terry, brilliant to read that you enjoyed the video and cactus blooms, plus hahaha also my bats! The sign at the door was a present from my son and I'm so happy you liked it too! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend, very best wishes going out to you, and happy growing indeed!!👍🙏🙏😊🌵🌱🌵🌼🌺🏵💚😎
Wow! Joe! Your Lophophoras are really looking beautiful😊🙏💖And your Obregonias are beautiful too. I love how prickly the Stenocacti are🙌🌟
Hi Newman! Thanks and brilliant that you enjoyed the Lophos, Obregonias and Stenocacti and all their blooms! It is nice to finally be able to see all of our cacti in full action again after that long and grey winter!! Best wishes out to you in Japan, take care and happy growing of course!!
Awesome video, Joe 😊 Fantastic display of blooms. Love the sign on your greenhouse, that’s awesome 😃 Unfortunately a lot of the plants I had in bud purged them when I brought them indoors when we had that second freeze. I’ve actually got more in bud and bloom on the plants that are grown indoors all year round so far this year haha. Thank you for sharing with us as always my friend. Have a wonderful evening and rest of the weekend from Edith & myself and happy growing 👍🏻🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜
Forgot to add that your Lophs are stunning and look virtually unblemished. I always have a real problem keeping mites off mine. What do you do or use for mite control, Joe? 🌵☀️🌺🌸🌼🏜
Thanks so much, Daz, as always all your feedback is very much appreciated! So happy that you enjoyed the blooms, and also the greenhouse door sign, haha, that was a wonderful present that I received from my son recently. Really interesting to hear about the effects of that second freeze you unfortunately had last winter/early spring...similarly - even in the greenhouse - quite a few of my plants, especially the large Ferocacti, have also purged their buds due to the constant yo-yo of weather and temps here this Spring. A bit more of a challenge this Spring than last years', I must say! Thanks so much for watching and commenting and very best cactus greetings going out to you and Edith, best wishes to you both my friends and happy growing of course!!
Thanks also for your kind comments about my Lophs! Yes they can be quite sensitive to mites - a few years ago my entire collection of Lophs was badly attacked, and they were all terribly scarred ...it took about 4 years for all those scars to disappear as the new epidermis slowly pushed the old scarred one out- and downwards. Not sure whether that makes the real difference, but what I do differently now, from when they were attacked, is that I keep them in almost purely mineral substrate (with limestone chips added), i.e. max. 5% organic/soil content and I keep their surrounding quite airy and "windy" through a dedicated oscillating fan in their vicinity. I think the latter measure is generally a good way of keeping many pests away, including mites. Also, many mites are said to like very dry air more than more humid air - so the fan "mixes" the air quite well from where they are standing (hot and sunny, rel. dry) with more humid areas of the greenhouse where my Euphorbias but also Orchids and pelargoniums are located. Maybe that helps too, but not 100% sure yet, as the experiment is ongoing, haha!
I love your Lophophora and Turbinicarpus collection. And wow at your mature Obregonia 😮! Mine is as small as a penny. 😅 Off to part 2!
Thanks so much, Ana!!
Hello Joe, as always your collection looks amazing, very exciting time when our cacti start blooming, they all look beautiful, really liked the one with the fly pollinating the flower. I was in awe with your Lophophora setup, it actually looks as if you pulled them right out of nature, it looks just like a natural setting, it gave me a few ideas I now want to try, thank you for another amazing video, and as you say Happy Growing!!🌵🌵🌵
Hey David, many thanks for your awesome comments, as always really appreciated! I'm very happy indeed that you enjoyed the cactus collection and also that I have been hopefully able to give you some inspiration and new ideas for your own collection! Just let me know if you have specific questions. Yes, those Lophos, instead of growing them in individual pots I decided - like my group of Ariocarpus fissuratus before that - to grow them together in elongated terracotta plant trays. So far so good. Glad that you liked the "natural landscape" decorations that I tried to give with some limestone pieces around them - that is the same rock they often like to grow amongst in nature! Enjoy your week ahead, and indeed Happy Growing my friend!
Brilliant video as always! 👍🏻 Indeed, we've had enough rain for now here in Germany 😬😅 Amazing blooms you have there, thanks for sharing! 🌵🌼🌺 I also like how you decorated your greenhouse in general, for example the "Cactus Joe Sign" on the entrance door or the bats hanging from the roof 🦇
Enjoy your weekend and see you in Part 2! :)
Hallo Jacob, thanks so much, and fantastic that you liked the blooms and also my various greenhouse decorations, haha, yes the door sign was an amazing present from my son recently ...and the bats, well they are just hanging around as you can see, lol! I like to keep my greenhouse somewhat more like a decorated living and growing room for me and my plants, haha! I used to have rows and rows of cacti, like in a nursery, but over the years have changed that as much as possible, and I am really enjoying my glasshouse much more like a conservatory and living room with succulent plants now! But I still have a way to go until I have it 100% according to my vision, haha, working on it though! have a wonderful week ahead!
Lyn's T Shirt looks good Joe 😄 Lovely collection of Lophs and I love the Stenocactus albatus 😎 Same weather here, cold rain and then 10 minutes of sun 🙄Cheers my friend 😊😊🌵🌵
Hey Ziggy! Interesting to hear that you have been having similar weather your end too...and indeed today is one of those days again where pretty much every season has had it's turn here, haha! But, not complaining, as the sun has now finally come out for an hour or so ...and again at least the cacti are quick to respond, haha!
Glad you liked my Lophs and indeed that Stenocactus albatus - I can only recommend it, also as it has these awesome yellow flowers which is rather rare among Stenocactus species. The other yellow-flowering one that I have is S. sulphureus. Hope you are having a wonderful Monday and best wishes for the week ahead my friend, take care and happy growing of course!
@@cactusjoe I found a Stenocactus that I didn't know I had in the corner of a seed tray 🙂Cheers Joe, you too my friend 😊😊🌵🌵
Wow at the rain! Something we need here at the desert. I love your white Rebutia. I don’t have a white Rebutia. Hey, we both have a black dog! 🐶… not yet done watching
Haha, thanks so much, Ana, LOVE your comments!! Yeah, I can definitely recommend that white Rebutia, such a wonderful contrast among the other, mainly yellow, orange and red ones! Hope you get some rain soon too! In the mean time we have now moved into late Spring/early Summer here, and the temps are rising very quickly now! So typical for our continental climate here! Hey, great to read about you having a black dog too, haha, brilliant!! Hope you are having a terrific Thursday, sending you lot's of cactus flower greetings from my little greenhouse in Bavaria! Happy growing!!
Thank you, Joe for your time. I can see why you are so excited about your flowers. They are stunning.
Thank you, Bill, so happy you like them too! Have a great weekend, and hopefully you finally get some rain your end too! Best wishes!
I love them all! But especially the Ariocarpus fissuratus. Kicking myself for not growing them sooner.
And just my opinion, Warhol is a hack, but i love Lynn and the shirt design.
Thanks so much, and glad you liked the t-shirt that I purchased on Lyn's merchandise shop too, haha! It's never too late to start growing Ariocarpus or some of the other cacti shown in the video - patience and good care will be handsomely rewarded by these wonderful plants! Have agreat day and week ahead!
What an awesome video Joe! The flowers are all breathtaking and hopefully helping us all forget the horrible winter most of us had. Love the shirt! That was the first thing I noticed when I started watching. I love Lophophora too. In my small collection I have a Lophophora Williamsii. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing, this video really put a big smile on my face! From Georgia, US to Bavaria, Germany have a wonderful weekend my friend!
Hi Jeff, thanks so much for all your awesome feedback, as always really appreciated my friend! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and all the blooms. Also, fantastic to hear from your collection, and the L. williamsii, they are indeed such wonderful cacti to grow! Hope all is going well with your plants too, after the long, dark winter months! Wishing you lot's of flowers and a super Sunday! Best wishes out to you in Georgia, USA from Bavaria, Germany and happy growing!👍🙏😊🏵🌺🌼🌱🌵🌵💚😎
You have many Lophophoras. I have a tiny one. Many in my wishlist😅 T-shirt looks very nice.
Thank you for watching and for your wonderful feedback! Enjoy your Sunday and the week ahead! 👍😊🙏🙏🌵🌺🌱🏵💚😎
Hello Joe! You have a beautiful collection of blooming plants...I am jealous...lol! I have one bud on a cactus I have...I wonder how long it will take to bloom. I brought all of my plants out of the den to the front porch this week. Today I am making cushions and chair backs for my rocking chairs on the porch. It is a cactus printed fabric that I am using!
Hello Cheryl, brilliant to read your awesome comments! No worries, your cacti will also be showing their flowers with time, I am 100% convinced of that! Sounds like you have some wonderful new rocking chair cushions coming there!! As always thanks so much for watching and commenting, really appreciated! Hope you are having a Super Sunday, lot's of cactus greetings for the week ahead! 🙏🙏👍😊🌵🌱🌵🌺🏵🌺💚😎🌵
Awesome beautiful collection of cactus you have I am new to your channel and I very much enjoyed it
Hi Kim, a warm welcome to my channel, thanks so much for watching and commenting! And fantastic to read that you enjoyed the cactus collection tour, thank you so much!! Wishing you an awesome rest of the week ahead, take care and happy growing of course!!
@@cactusjoe thank you for replying to my message I really enjoyed seeing all the different species you unfortunately in my area they don't sell them happy growing to you as well I like you are from Germany that is part of my heritage
I want rain! We went from frost to hot dry days we have not had rain a single day this last 4 weeks
Wow, Anders, I had not realised that it was sooo different up north for you in Denmark! Sure, let me send you a few of our (far too many) rain clouds over, right now, haha! (...it is again raining as I am writing this, good grief!). Have a great day and wonderful weekend, thanks for watching & commenting, my friend!
I love your collection, absolutely stunning and oh so healthy! I've been collecting for 2 seasons and am yet to see one of my cacti bloom! I'm in the UK, it's still kinda cool out, I wonder if I should fertilise mine now to wake them up? I've watered them a couple of times since March. Idk, my cacti don't love me I guess lol...need to watch more of your helpful videos! Tysm!
Hi Samantha!! Thanks so much, love your wonderful feedback and comments, so glad you have enjoyed the video and plants!
Sounds like you are doing all the right things so far, if you have kept them quite cool and dry during the winter months - i.e. giving them the dormancy period that they absolutely require, in order to bloom the following season! Also, slowly starting to water them from March/April onwards is perfect, and you could indeed treat them to a bit of cactus fertiliser now during May or June! Make sure though that it is a dedicated cactus fertiliser (i.e. low in Nitrogen (N), high in Phosphorous (P) and Potassium (K) - to make sure that development of buds/flowers is emphasised (rather than growth of the stems - e.g. by using a normal plant fertiliser, much higher in N content). So I am sure that all your cacti DO actually love you, lol, one just has to be patient with these weird and wonderful plants, haha - and btw not all cacti show their flowers as young plants, many of the cacti sold in nurseries will need many, many years to do so. If you do not yet have some of these, try to get yourself some cacti from the more easily- (and younger-) blooming types like from the genus Mammillaria, Parodia, Notocactus, Rebutia, Gymnocalycium, etc.
Hope this helps a bit. Keeping my fingers crossed that you are rewarded by your cacti very soon for all your efforts! Have a great week ahead and happy growing of course!!
@@cactusjoe Thank you Joe, it sure does help. You've given me the confidence to go ahead and use some of my cacti fertiliser this week! I just got back from cactus UK, shopping for some easy flowering cactus, to give me a head start! Even though I have no room! Have to build some shelves! Thank you. Have a great season!
Amazing collection! i was wondering, what do you use for pest control? I live in Denmark and need to order some stuff for mealybugs and spider mites in Germany, just not sure what works?? Thx a lot and best regards :)
Hi Nick!! Thanks very much, so happy that you liked the video with my cactus collection and blooms! With regard to your questions about pest control: to be honest I try and use as little pesticides as possible, so I try and really focus on preventive measures, amongst which probably the most important are: growing the plants quite "hard" i.e. completely dry and cool in winters and quite infrequent watering and sparse fertilizing even in the summers - AND lot's and lot's of fresh air and also air movement (via oscillating fan, when the windows of the greenhouse cannot be opened). Most pests and also fungi thrive more in stale, "standing" air - hence the fan (or open windows). Btw, spider mites usually thrive in very dry, standing air.
Also, I have found that using a mineral-rich substrate (max 20% organic compounds like soil) or my cacti does keep quite a lot of pests away too.
I use a systemic pesticide (Lizetan AZ) once in June and once in September. A contact-type of pesticide is only used when I actually have visible proof of a pest attack, never just as a precautionary measure. Most "normal" mealy bugs (...unless they are the dreaded root mealy bugs, far more difficult and serious!) can be killed off quite well with a spray of rubbing alcohol or isopropanol alcohol - several spray treatments over the period of 10 days needed to make sure that not only the visible, parent pests but also their newly hatched, young ones are effectively treated.
Hope this helps a bit! Thanks for watching so many of my videos and for commenting! Sending very best cactus greetings from Bavaria, Germany out to you in Denmark!!
@@cactusjoe Thx a lot for a good full answer joe :) i will try this Lizetan, the amount of mealybugs i get in mail ordered plants are really bad, so got to think a bit ahead :)
Trying to watch all your videos they are really amazing, i love the flamingo box full of Ariocarpus :D With lots of cactus power from Denmark !
@@cactusjoe Just asked myself: How exactly do you define "quite infrequent watering"? 😅
Does that mean once a week? Or just every two weeks? Would be interesting to know... 😁
I hope you have a relaxed sunny Thursday in Bavaria as we have it here in Kassel now! :)
@@jacobsiebert2204 hello Jacob, haha that means watering only every 2 weeks, ...or even 3 if the weather is cool and rainy! In other words, after watering it takes about a week for the substrate to totally dry, then I make sure that the substrate stays totally dried out for at least another week before I water again...so 2 weeks. That's what works best for me. Others will have their own prefered schedule. Hope that helps. Thanks, it is indeed a wonderfully sunny day today here as well! Grüße nach Kassel!👍😊🌵🌵💚😎
@@cactusjoe Thanks for the fast answer! :)
I think I have a "routine" quite similiar to yours, seems to work for me too 👍🏻
Apart from that: When I fertilize, I first give the plants a bit "pure water" so that the substrate isn't completely dry anymore and then a few minutes after that water a second time with fertilizer. Do you do the same?
