My pleasure!

[@carmensantiago6711]

You have a beautiful nursery and thank you for the tour and tips shared! Thank you Anna for sharing these two videos. Blessings to all.👍👏🌵💚🏜️

[@desertplantsofavalon]

WOW we absolutely LOVED watching Part 1 and 2, and FANTASTIC tips that Mark has shared, and fab tips with the glue on the Euphorbia seeds, OH we are so in love with all the amazing plants and the massive greenhouse haha, you are so blessed to visit this incredible Planet Nursery and thank you so very much for sharing your visit with us all so we can all get to experience it with you

[@CactusCaffeine]

I'm glad you and Hans enjoyed my visit to Planet Desert. It felt like I was in Candyland with all the beautiful and very tempting cacti and succulents. They had so many other plants that I was not familiar with. lol! I still have so much to learn but the trip was an eye opener to me. Yup, that glue trick with Euphorbia seed pods is certainly new to me! Thank you Lyn and Hans for your support always. CHEERS! 😊🌵☕

[@stephaniecottrell2413]

Thank you for this tour. I love Planet Desert and now I can picture the greenhouse. What a wonderful family!

[@greeneyes.1978]

I absolutely love Planet Desert, I'm a monthly subscriber and get 2 cactus plants a month! I've watched all your videos and just realized today that you were planet Desert!! ❤❤

[@mariediamond9741]

I’ve ordered from them and been very happy! Excellent plants, wonderful service!

[@CactusCaffeine]

I’m glad. They are a wonderful family. 🙂

[@CactusCove]

Surrounded by so many cactus & succulents, its truly amazing to see the whole operation & their dedication to these plants... It's just so beautiful, I have heard about using the battery acid 😬 I stick to using the water from my dehumidifier water tank and always use a TDS Meter too. Great video 👍🏻🌵☀️🏜️😊

[@michellec.4994]

I would love to work in a nursery .....omg...so many CACTUS 🌵

[@Cactimania]

Awesome part 2, Ana. Great tips from Mark also. Really enjoyed your visit to Planet Desert. Hopefully you’ll be able to go there again in the future 😊 Thank you for sharing with us as always, Ana. And thank you to Planet Desert for allowing you to show all of us their amazing nursery. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜☕️

[@edithcoliagrandis]

This couple’s/family’s kindness and an honest-to-goodness humility just exuded during the whole interview. They are simply inspirational - from their hard work and love for these plants. I wish them all the best and their business more success and love from customers. You can never please all customers but their business wouldn’t have grown to this proportion if their customers were not satisfied. Thank you for this tour, Ana. Truly enjoyed this! ❤️🌸🌼🌺🌵❤️

[@CactusCaffeine]

Edith, you got everything on point! It makes me appreciate more every order that I make from them. Now I know that everything is grown and packaged with so much care and genuine love for their plants. 🙂🌵

[@edithcoliagrandis]

@@CactusCaffeine salamat, Ana. We appreciate something more when we know the history/story behind it. 🥰

[@TheSucculentGreenhouse]

Wow that place is amazing! So cool that you got to go. All the plants look perfect and healthy. Good tips on the PH levels. Thank you 🥰

[@CactusCaffeine]

Thank you, Emily!

[@mairwaugus5203]

I never thought about the PH levels before

[@garygilliam1890]

Thanks for the video now I know we're my plants are shiped from

[@foogoomogoogoo1890]

Nice gardeners. I can tell how much they take good care of their plants.

[@moodyblooms]

Glue!!?? Wow, never would have thought of that!!

[@CactusCaffeine]

I thought I heard him wrong the first time. 😉 But yes, it was hard to believe it although they get a lot of success using that method.

[@mairwaugus5203]

Like Elmers white?

[@CactusCaffeine]

Yes, like Elmer’s glue. 😃

[@cactusandfriends_by_vane]

Thank you for this videos, Ana, it's fantastic to see how they grow hundreds of species. And thank you to Planet Desert for the tips!👌☺️💕

[@MrPrentissDJones]

My pH out of my ROD I is 5.5, once I add the fertilizer sometimes it goes down to three, I don’t fertilize often maybe twice a year in the growing season

[@MrPrentissDJones]

[@PsychoPlantLady]

I never thought about checking my waters ph for my cactus.

[@morrisparkintheozarks6831]

Woo hoo! Awesome!!! I was waiting for this!! Hahaha! I'm glad my water hasn't affected my plants. I'll have to say , our water is very hard because it comes from the ground out of limestone aquifers. Oh the challenges we face in our love for these plants!! Yes he is right!! A little glue on Euphorbia capsules can keep your seed if applied at the right time!!! Love the tour!!! Great place!!! How awesome to see this place!!! Thanks Ana for taking us all along!!! From Morris park in the Ozarks,out to Las Vegas, have a great evening!!! Peace,Love,Plants!!!!✌💖🌵🌸🌿🌷🌳💐🌲🌹🌴🌻

[@CactusCaffeine]

Oh Clyde, you will love it over there. His Euphorbia selection is amazing! I was not able to show everything in my videos as there are really so much to show. He has Euphorbias that looked weird to me but he says they are Euphorbia! That glue trick sure is new to me. I have an Obesa currently with seed pods. I will try it on some. 😉

[@SucsForYou]

Great interview and a fantastic setting! I'm happy that he reminds us not all of the plants require the same treatment/care.

[@cactuspar6802]

Planet Desert's nursery is very inspiring! It made me want to propagate my plants more💖

[@CactusCaffeine]

Makes me want to get a bigger greenhouse! LOL. Thanks for watching.

[@jjg4450]

Great interview. Keep the videos coming. I have two cups of coffee to view 3 or 4 of your videos. We should start an internet/KZbin succulent club, association.

[@annetterampersad6266]

Amazing... absolutely beautiful collection..

[@plantsinner5072]

They are so sweet!🥰 Loved the tips very much. Thank you Ana😊

[@CactusCaffeine]

So glad you like this Part 2 video as well. 😊

[@snoywntr2]

Such a cool tour. I want to go there. I really appreciate the vinegar tip! I feed mine rain in summer but in winter tap water which is ph nearly 8 at my house!

[@CactusCaffeine]

You are lucky to get enough rain in summer. Water quality is always my problem here in the desert as we only get rain maybe 5 times in a year! 😕 But I'm glad you found the vinegar tip useful. It's spring! How's your garden doing? 😀

[@snoywntr2]

@@CactusCaffeine my garden is doing great. I just took a bunch of more basic succulents that I had in the house and planted them out there for the year. I posted an update to my new channel. My Big Back Yard. It’s not very searchable but I’ll message you from there so you can check it out. I wanted a channel that wasn’t my name 😂 and just recently figured out how to do that and transfer my old videos too.

[@philipearlya-on9027]

its really awesome!! the tour is so worthwhile, learn many things from him. never could imagine i can use vinegar, even batteries (did i hear it right??) in watering cacti. the only water i used to water my cacti is rainwater coz its always raining here in the philippines.

[@CactusCaffeine]

Glad you enjoyed it! You are very lucky to get rain water. That is the best water that you can give plants. The acidity of rainwater is perfect and it is also has nutrients. Here in some parts of the US, especially where I live (Las Vegas) it only rains maybe 4-5 days in a year! Maraming salamat po at pinanood niyo itong video ko. 😊

Mark,thanks,very interesting story!

[@CactusCaffeine]

Thank you so much for taking time to watch this video. 😊

[@Iluvcollecting]

I’ve ordered cacti from them & they’ve struggled . I’m wondering now if it has to do with the acidic water they water the plants with then I get them using outdoor tap water & it weakens, struggles then die. I have no luck. I may try one more time. Thanks for the info. I learned something new now.

[@GBCYTP]

Ooh wow... I want to share some rare dragon fruit varieties with you and planet desert ♡

[@bushwalker6214]

How can it be that pH is so important but the type of fertiliser is not? Fertilizers can vary by amount of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, etc. IMHO it is important. Succulents don't like much of nitrogen, but like phosphorus.

[@solarwinds-]

Ana, what PH meter to you use? Do you have to calibrate it every time you use it? My tap water is very hard and I let it sit for at least 24 hours before I feed it to my cactus. However I need to know if what I'm doing is enough. Thanks for introducing Planet Desert. My most healthy cacti are from them.

[@michellec.4994]

I do the same thing with my tap water. I didn't know that adding vinegar would help the acidic level for plants!! I learned something new from this video too!! 🥰😍

Ate sa kanila ba ang order naka pot po,,, dito kc sa pinas nk uproot po,, pag ganun bapo pagkarepot ilang days pwede n diligan po salamat...

[@CactusCaffeine]

Dito some sellers send bare root, itong Planet Desert with pot. After repotting, give it about a week before you water it. Pero kung yung soil mo is damp, then you can wait longer until the soil is dry before you water. 🙂
