How much should we put in the soil 10 cm or less??
@CelestialHarvest14 күн бұрын
Hello, I typically do mine less. I use the stakes to keep them upright, but I plant them just under the soil…maybe 2cm (just under an inch). Only because I’ve had them rot before when the base is buried too deep.

These cacti will not fruit with itself or it's cuttings. They're self- incompatible. It has to have a separate DNA from a different Peruvian. Make sure it has the same needle length some Peruvian's have really small spines maybe a quarter inch if that along their ribs the growing head (tip top)has longer spines but they shrink as it gets taller. Others Peruvian's have longer spines about an inch and a half long down their ribs. I prefer the small spines as they are more manageable to handle. Buying seeds and tenting them for a year or so from another source is a lot cheaper than getting one at 25 dollars a foot if you love growing and have the patience lol. Or if you know others with them, then you could maybe trade 😃

Is there a certain spot where I should cut them, such as where they look like they have joints, or can I just cut them anywhere? What began as an itty bitty 4 inch cactus is now taller than my house and I have to trim it so I can bring it in for the winter.

You can cut them to the length that you prefer. Just make sure to let them callous over before planting the cutting.

Your propagation method for this plant is really poor
@CelestialHarvest7 ай бұрын
This has been a very successful method for me. In fact, I haven’t lost a cutting to date. What is your preferred method of propagation? I’m sure others would love to hear additional successful methods!
@Rikusm17 ай бұрын
@@CelestialHarvest I hear you, you are probably also in a area where you cannot propagate directly into soil? Not sure? Issue with paper towel for me is that you sprout very long thin seedlings because the lack of sunshine and nutrients with germination. For me it is all about programming the seed when germinating, when doing this in a very nice and very wet environment it could stimulate the seedling in thinking it hit the lottery in terms of where it germinated, these seedlings tend to suffer a bit when transplanting then later. I like to prepare a small bowl with coarse soil and a little bit of compost. I would then soak the soil thoroughly then plant the seeds just below the surface. I would then put the pot into a freezer back and poke a small hole into the bag for some oxygen. I put my pot outside where it can have some morning sun and within 7 days you will have sprouts. After say 7 - 8 days I will remove the freezer bag and have the seedlings grow in that container for at least one more year before transplanting to bigger containers. I have success in this way and seedlings also tend to be stronger and more adapted to the environment...
@CelestialHarvest7 ай бұрын
Thank you so much for your reply! This makes a lot of sense. I was referring to the method of propagating by cutting. Putting seeds in a bag was something I just tried out and it worked, but your method makes a lot of sense for growing strong plants. I’ll test it out with my next batch of seeds. Have a great day!

@CelestialHarvest8 ай бұрын
Thank you! I agree they can get taller, but those kind of heights require trellising. Have you had any plants grow over 30 ft without a trellis?
@collinsanderson23708 ай бұрын
No I haven't but the mother of the plants that I have are over 50 feet tall and they are still young. To attain tall growth leave the suckers and they will become self supporting and can grow to 100 feet plus. On large properties this is practical but for growth in pots, not so much. Here in the Caribbean they grow in clusters on rocky mountain tops and are majestic and beautiful especially when they are full of fruit😊.

@CelestialHarvest10 ай бұрын
Hello! Thanks for the question. Man, you’ve got a difficult set of growing conditions! As far as freezes go, we have had some freezes into the twenties which have not killed off my plants (or my neighbors). Zone 8-11 is what the plant is rated to be hardy for, but I understand that in the low teens is where the plant will start to freeze. As far as the elevation goes, I’ve only seen confirmation of growth at 1000ft. For reference I’m at about 45ft. I’m not sure about how quickly/well they would grow with the oxygen deprivation, but they are a pretty resilient plant. With all of that said, people have grown these successfully in pots. You would need to move them to be protected during winter. When in doubt, give it a shot! And if you do, please let me know how the plant grows. I’d love to be able to share that information with others! Good luck!

I just came across your channel while researching everglade tomatoes. I acquired some seeds and grew some this year at my home here in south Florida. I am curious if all the everglade tomatoes are the same approximate size. I was surprised that mine were each approximately 1/2 inch in size. Each tomato is very delicious and flavorful. I am curious if all ever everglade tomatoes are this small. Thank you.

Thanks so much for the question! Yes, all of the Everglades tomatoes are small at around 1/2 an inch. I personally feel that they have the best flavor of all of the tomatoes I’ve successfully grown here in Florida. I do know that they have been used to hybridize other varieties, so I suppose there could be something listed as an “everglade” that’s a hybrid which would grow larger.
