Sometimes winds hit the Lexon plastic panels on the roof of the greenhouse and make kind of a roar across them!! Makes me cringe every time. Or when hail hits or super heavy rain!! Makes me think at that moment OH $#]% !!!! We're having a tornado!!! Very scary Sometimes!!! Especially when we are in a structured full of plants that DO have wicked spines and or poisonous sap!!! Hmmmm... we really do love our plants, don't we guys? Thanks for sharing Lyn!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, to across the emerald isle, have a wonderful day!!!

Thanks for another great video Lyn! I'm pleased to have attempted to grow all of these (or very closely related), but my last batch of seedlings all rotted, including monkey tail and epiphyllum. I was gutted to discover this. But they are both beauties, so I'll try again in the spring. And I love your mature multi-headed parodia!
Oh no so sorry to hear about your seedlings, it can be so tough getting seedlings past the early stage of the first year, I lost a lot of seedlings this year too to both rot and spider mites, they were growing so well until I took them out of the baggies and mites got to them in days, but we have next spring when we can both try growing seeds again, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX
@@desertplantsofavalon My current batch of survivors are now doing well, thankfully. I've been plagued with fungus gnats, even inside the sealed poly bags - obviously my soil hygeine was poor this time round. Now I'm just wondering what species you'd feature if you were to do a video of the nastiest, spikiest, bitiest cacti - I think Opuntia Microdasys would be top of my list - it looks so soft and fluffy until you discover what it's really like!
@@DFJA01 Argh Fungus gnats are a real pain, and yes haha Opuntia microdasys has to be one of the worst for touching, as it looks like a soft fluffy one but it bites like mad and the tiny glochid spines get stick in the skin like super glue and drives you crazy haha XXXX
Hi! So I bought a cactus plant called Dragon Fruit Cactus. It had a little stick note in it when I bought it that said "Pet me, I don't bite" I've had it for a couple years now & love having friends and family touch it when they visit.... It used to be such a conversation piece. However NOW when I touch it, it DEFINITELY bites now! I'm pulling out very sharp spines from my fingers. What happened?? Or has it just acquired my attitude and weird!?? Please help!!
Thats fantastic you have a Dragon fruit cactus, yes these often start out almost spineless when young but as they mature they develop spines, not as sharp as the Desert types of cacti but they can still bite, I have grown quite a few dragon fruit from seed and they start off smooth skinned but after a few years they grow spines that can be quite sharp, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
haha I know the winds have been wild here, but not as bad as some parts of Uk, there was a mini tornado in England too, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX
Hi Lyn, I love the wind. So peaceful sounding but not so peaceful when it blows you away. Need your help. My Trichocereus Grandiflora keeps corking. She has no pests. She gained a lot of green growth over the summer but alas she had a set back when it turned cold. Do you think it may be she's getting too cold? I've stopped watering her. Could it be she needs water as she is still producing new spines? Your opinion would be very appreciated.
Hi Marie :-D so sorry to hear your Tricho Grandiflora is corking, its possible the changes in the environment due to the colder weather may have caused the corking, but if the corking is coming from the top it could be caused by spider mites, they are almost impossible to see with the human eye and I notice my grandiflora 'red star' often gets spider mite and I see the orange corking on the top especially on the new growth, its best to not water her now until the Spring, its very possible that the corking is due to the colder temps and these cacti have a tendency to cork once the temps drop in winter if they are still in growth and producing new spines, if she is outside then if its possible you may be best to bring her indoors to overwinter, especially if the night temps drop below 40F /4c, thanks so much Marie for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX
Great advice Lyn. She is corking from the substraight up. The crown is still healthy so I think it is caused from the cold as it only corks during low temps. I will keep her in doors and, just in case, I'll treat for mites. Thanks so much Lyn. You're a good friend.@@desertplantsofavalon

What a brilliant collection I had a nasty experiance with a Opuntia and that pushed me towards succulents for a few years haha but its hard to actually give up cacti forever so im back into them again. Not Opuntia though.
haha yes Opuntias's are the worst of the biters and their glochid spines are so painful when they get stuck into our skins, so happy you are back into cacti again, thanks so much Ross for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX

Need your help. My Trichocereus Grandiflora keeps corking. She has no pests. She gained a lot of green growth over the summer but alas she had a set back when it turned cold. Do you think it may be she's getting too cold? I've stopped watering her. Could it be she needs water as she is still producing new spines? Your opinion would be very appreciated.
Hi Marie :-D so sorry to hear your Tricho Grandiflora is corking, its possible the changes in the environment due to the colder weather may have caused the corking, but if the corking is coming from the top it could be caused by spider mites, they are almost impossible to see with the human eye and I notice my grandiflora 'red star' often gets spider mite and I see the orange corking on the top especially on the new growth, its best to not water her now until the Spring, its very possible that the corking is due to the colder temps and these cacti have a tendency to cork once the temps drop in winter if they are still in growth and producing new spines, if she is outside then if its possible you may be best to bring her indoors to overwinter, especially if the night temps drop below 40F /4c, thanks so much Marie for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX
Great advice Lyn. She is corking from the substraight up. The crown is still healthy so I think it is caused from the cold as it only corks during low temps. I will keep her in doors and, just in case, I'll treat for mites. Thanks so much Lyn. You're a good friend.@@desertplantsofavalon
@@solarwinds- Thats fantastic she is only corking from the base up, and thanks so much for your wonderful friendship and support too Marie XXXX 🥰❤

What a brilliant collection I had a nasty experiance with a Opuntia and that pushed me towards succulents for a few years haha but its hard to actually give up cacti forever so im back into them again. Not Opuntia though.
haha yes Opuntias's are the worst of the biters and their glochid spines are so painful when they get stuck into our skins, so happy you are back into cacti again, thanks so much Ross for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX
Could you do a video on water tolerant cold hardy cacti?
Hi, yes I will be planning a video in January about the cold hardy cacti that can survive very low cold temps as long as watering is withheld over winter, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX
