I will!! Maybe after the summer 😍 thank you so much for watching ☺️

Three small tips for you, things I picked up in my 69years. 1/. Use a coffee filter to cove your large hole in pots. They are cheap, allow extra water to drain through and don't fall apart when wet. Also won't harm any roots that come in contact with them. 2/. Try using a cake icing knife not a butter knife, for freeing up plants that maybe stuck to a pot. They are not sharp so won't do much damage to any thick root they come in contact with. It is also very flexible so will conform to any curves the existing pot may have. 3/. When you have a plant in a plastic pot that has thicker roots coming out of the hole in the bottom. Cut the pot not the root. Love the video, even if it took me two goes to watch it all.

A cactus I have is about 30 years old. The last couple of years life has been a Shit show and my poor little cactus got seriously ignored, the roots disintegrated and it fell out of its pot. This video inspired me to try and pot it back up. I actually stopped the video halfway to do it. So now I have to wait and see if it does anything.🤞🤷‍♀️

You can use your terracotta pots as cover pots so you still get the look while actually potting into plastic.

Your Euphorbia lactea ‘White Ghost’ has normal roots. Euphorbia generally have very shallow root system. So do many cacti and succulents even very large and old ones. They tend to like spreading out rather than spreading down. You pull out some of the giant barrel cacti that weigh in the hundreds of pounds, and they’re barely a couple of inches deep. Overall, you shouldn’t worry too much about roots being cramped and shallow. Many succulent species, especially desert cactus, can live literally between small rock crevices. They aren’t like the tropical plants you’re used to. For cacti, it’s often better to underpot, especially if you live somewhere temperate and humid.

🌵loved the Eve's Pin in that pretty gray planter. 💚

I always look forward to your yearly cacti succulent repot. You have a beautiful collection. I lowkey flinched when you were touching your new opuntia. Their glochids are deceivingly innocent. Be careful touching your eyes. Your rat tail cactus is looking lovely after the repot.

I love all your videos! But this was especially excellent! There is limited cactus/succulent material on KZread. And your videos are always so wonderful! I was really relieved to see the Monkey's Tail successfully repotted 🥰🌵

I’m in the UK and grew cacti for over 20 years, I stopped watering end of September and gave them no water at all until the next April, they in my experience need as much light as you can possibly give them over that period also. Another tip is to use tomato fertiliser at half strength during their active growing period encourages them to flower

I love the fertilizer suggestion. L

Thanks for putting the plant names on the screen as you talk about them!💞

I don't like the idea of not giving them light at all during the winter. Cacti in their native habitat would still be outside. They just wouldn't get as much light. I'd recommend keeping them in the brightest windows you can during winter, but cutting way back on water when it starts getting cold (if not stopping completely, especially for that Mammillaria - they're particularly sensitive to being watered too frequently).

@narutoboybv7906

Ай бұрын

I also have to agree. I grew up in West Texas desert and they obviously get light but little water during winter months. As of February it's already in the 80s. Cacti need light all year round. It's something that should be really obvious.

@morningstar8187

Ай бұрын

@@jessicaliltxn3295 They don’t really need light when they’re dormant. Keeping them in complete darkness is a valid method of overwintering them without etiolation. I’ve seen it done with Trichocereus. Unpot them, wrap them in newspapers, and keep them in a cold basement throughout winter. Then slowly acclimate them to light when spring comes.

@jessicaliltxn3295

Ай бұрын

@morningstar8187 Etiolation occurs when its actively growing but gets less light. If it's dormant how would that happen? Different cacti have different requirements but they should receive some light in winter. People can do what they want but Mine always stay in the brightest window when the are indoors. Water and temperature are what I worry about most. My cacti are happy.

Realized I wasn't breathing during the monkey tail repotting....😅 Glad he came free for you, such cool looking plant.

The substrate falling into the pots… ASMR for us crazy plant people! 🌵

I think I heard the stepelia crying, "my baby " 😂🤣😉 Please keep them side by side outside 😉

the euphorbia will be totally fine! they root like crazy with adequate watering :) I loved this video, so comforting!

I had so many cactus die because I was always under the assumption they don’t need water but my goodness! Once you start watering them they really pop Off! 😍

🌵 Literally held my breath while you repotted the monkey tail LOL

" ... going in with the butter knife!" Planty people have to be resourceful. Great video, Fern ... thank you.

Your tongs are great, but try several pages of a newspaper, magazine , etc. to put around your cactus. You can wrap it around your cactus and actually hold it while repotting 😊

🌵 Love your videos! I’m a sucker for cacti and succulents. I’m so happy you enjoy them too!!

I saw someone else on KZread (can't remember!) use folded newspaper to wrap round cacti instead of fabric. It worked really well for me! Just need loads of sheets and fold up into a thick rectangular shape and just wrap round 😊🌵

Hi Fern Here is a tip. In Australia i purchased a roll of synthetic fly screen mesh and i cut into squares to cover the holes. Great drainage and it cost me about $8 at a local hardware store for the roll. I have used it in all the pots i have replanted and you can barely see i have used any. Much better drainage than coffee filters i believe. Love your cacti❤

I’m so happy you did this video, so little content on cactus I think they are so different then tropicals, hope you do more soon

Look up @dessertplantsofavalon and @caffeinecactus there are tons of cacti content online. I use to have a lot of cacti, but grew away from it to aroid plants.

This is absolutely the most enjoyable video you’ve ever done, at least for me. We don’t see many cactus and succulent repots. I love these and have lots. I live in the southern Arizona desert so mine are outside all year long but still in pots.

Great video. The Stapelia's roommate does look like a Rhipsalis.

My little sister fell into a very similar cactus to the bunny ear opuntia when we were kids. She had the worst skin irritation for weeks, it was awful. Definitely be careful with it, I’m literally feeling phantom spines/hairs on my hairs thinking about how much we hated that cactus lol. You won’t notice them getting stuck until you get the horrible fibreglass shredded skin feeling haha.

🌵Absolutely loved it! Can’t wait to watch them grow and look forward to next year’s repot!

You can tell by the thickness of the bear paw. Yours is definitely under watered. Should be plump. Easy fix nonetheless, which is why I love succulents.

So excited to watch this video, been looking forward to it for so long!💖

Well done, handling these prickly cactuses!!!!! Love the mug!!! 🌵

34:47 I haven't watched the whole video so not sure what's to come, but my FIRST thought was this plant in the pot from variegated opuntia! I always love this repot series 🌿💚

Cactus repots are full of “ow” and “ouch” for sure, thats how I am like. I think we both could use some cacti gloves for next year though 😅 🌵🌵

Perfect timing!! Excited to see how these grow in their new upgrades ☺️😍

🌵 perfect timing! I’m repotting my succulents and cactus this weekend ❤️ Thank you!

I loved this video so much Fern. Love watching you repot your plants. So relaxing. 🌵 🌵

I’ve seen other planty people use mesh or cheese cloth to help prevent soil falling out of large drainage holes. I love these long videos, Fern!

🌵I loved watching this video and got some of my own things accomplished while watching it!

The cactus mug lol

I just bought a bunny ear and the cashier told me a man earlier that day had reached out and grabbed the cactus with his bare hand bc he didn’t know they had spikes……. There was a SIGN out saying to be careful lolol

1:16:59 The purple succulent looks the best. The pot brings out the purple 😊

Enjoyed the repotting! Love cacti🌵 and succulents!🌵

This was so nice to watch while getting ready for work every morning this week! Love ur videos!🌵🌵🌵❤

🌵 loved this!! Please make more longer videos if you can 👌🏻 I was holding my breath for the monkey tail, that was stressful 🤣🤣 good work girl. Good work x

A forest cactus sat in the same pot with the slipway. Let me give you some advice: when transplanting cacti, use newspaper. There will be no pricking of your hands. Thank you for the video! Good luck!

Coffee filters or pieces of paper towel work to keep the soil in the pot. You can also buy round pieces in two inch and four inch screening. Another thing you can do is buy a roll of screening and cut pieces out of it to cover the hole in the bottom of the pot.

🌵🏜️ So fun! This made my work shift go faster. All the plants look so cute! Can’t wait to see some blooms 😊

Oh god watching u pet thr bunny ear cactus in the begining. 😭😭😭 NOOOO. Their glochids get stuck in your skin FOREVER. 😂🤣🥲 I havnt finished the video yet but I use the cheap metal tongs for all my cacti with no issues. They are my fav! 😍

My cactus live in a south facing window all year round and for years. the room is light and cool in the long dark winter, and bright and sunny and very warm during the short Swedish summer. They get flowers and seem to be okay. re-pot sometimes. Water them in the summer.

I always look forward to these videos when you do your cactus repotting. They are my favourites. I wish there are more people collecting these types of plants. I would love to live somewhere that i can grow cacti and succulents all year round.

🌵Loved watching you repot.

I bet the euphorbia white ghoast could be potted lower in the same pot to be a good amount of soil to root ratio and be nice and sturdy, and just not fill it as high, if you're worried about it getting too much water for the small roots.
