  @@greatnorthernexotic I got these plants. Talk about kid in a sweet shop! Mammillaria guelzowiana v. robustior. Gymnocalycium achirasense v. orientale. Lobivia hybrid 'carnival'. Denmoza rhodacantha. Thelocactus conothelos v. aurantiacus. Submatucana aureiflora. Rebutia krainziano and Astrophytum capricorne v. aurea. Could have got a lot more but would have needed a greenhouse extension! Do you think the nursery is going to close down now? Such a shame if they do.

  I live in south texas where hard freezes are rare ! We had the feb 2021 polar vortex and it got down to 11 degrees farenheit 2 nights and not above freezing fo 4 days ! I lost palms that were 50 ft high and shrubs that were supposed to be able to withstand those temperatures, and my musa basjoo and musa blue bananas froze to the ground! 3 years later , its like it never happened. I think if you have them in light shade thinking they are protected , you dont allow the sun to warm up the soil and thats what causes rot. The fact that they were in full son is , in my opinion, what saved them . Before that they with stood 29 to 32 no problem

  How many minutes do you advise the videos should atleast be. So if I have like hundreds of videos each with minimum of 1 minute and maximum of 3 minutes, will my revenue be less? And do u get more if u have more subscribers or not

• 
  @greatnorthernexoticАй бұрын

  KZread pays per ad view. Videos under 8 minutes long will only show an ad or ads before it. If you make it over 8 minutes, have the option to add another ad in the middle that's why you'll see a lot of videos just over 8 minutes long. Number of subs makes no difference to revenue, only view count. And shorts pay almost nothing.
