A Simple Desert Landscape Garden (Cactus planted in ground)

This is the yard of a friend's house in Nevada. This is where I got various opuntia cuttings which I featured in one of my earlier videos, link below:

I hope this gives people an idea of how to do a simple desert landscape in their backyard. All these cacti and other desert plants are exposed to the harsh desert environment of excessive heat during the summer and freezing cold during the winter.

I love the simple, clean look of this landscape. ❤ 🌵

[@lorirober2536]

Incredibly beautiful desert gardens. Love your channel ❤❤❤

[@wintermetalhd]

Coffee, cacti, flute, piano, I love everything about this video! Beautiful HUGE opuntia!! What a thick cholla! This made my day.

[@CactusCaffeine]

Thank you so much for your wonderful words. Cheers and happy gardening. 🙂🌵☕️

[@barblee9615]

Very nice of your friend to us his wonderful and healthy cacti and beautiful bushes with blooms. Thank both of you for sharing.

[@CactusCaffeine]

Thank you also for your lovely comment. I will let my friend know. 😊

[@user-pv7pk5nh3k]

The collection of cactuses are Amazing!!!!! So many are unique as well !!!!!! Thank you 😊

[@RuthiesSucculentObsession]

That is awesome that your friend allowed you to film his wonderful garden and gave you cuttings. All of the cacti are so huge and beautiful. Thanks for sharing😊👍❤.

[@CactusCaffeine]

I love its simplicity! Thank you Ruthie. 🙂🌵☕️

[@alexandralacerda492]

So inspiring😍

[@veros.88]

Wow, I was waiting for this video you mentioned when bringing your new treasures home. What a lucky home buyer., That would've sealed the deal for me!! I'm sure you'll give him lots of pointers and in return more cuttings for you 🌵🏡

[@CactusCaffeine]

Exactly! Hahaha. 😉🌵☕️

[@niknabeelah7084]

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@Virescent]

They have nice desert landscaping. That is so awesome they let you take cuttings too! Omg, you're brave getting cuttings from a cholla. I steer clear of those evil little suckers lol. 💚🌵

[@CactusCaffeine]

Hahaha. I got hooked a couple of times. But I figured as long as I keep them small in my garden, it should be fine. Opuntia glochids are still worse. 😄 Thanks and cheers from Las Vegas to Arizona!

[@FernandaNascimentoOrchids]

That is a real inspiration, that look so beautiful. Low maintance, yeah, how wonderful.

[@CactusCaffeine]

You are right. Very low maintenance and very neat looking also. 🙂 Thanks Fernanda!

[@sandiegotropicalgarden3531]

Beautiful Desert Garden, nice cactus plants and flowers, 👍thanks for sharing 👍

[@CactusCaffeine]

Yes, the cacti were all well-established and old which makes the garden more striking.

[@AtHomeWithJana]

Beautiful yard!😍 So nice of him to let you film it. Thank you for sharing.👌💐💝😘

[@CactusCaffeine]

It was so simple yet captivating. 🙂

[@raiderfrankdatank]

Wow, the grass is so green!

[@CactusCaffeine]

That is exactly what I said when I saw his backyard the first time! Lol. 😄 Green grass is not common here in Las Vegas. His grass is the only one with sprinklers. All the rest have none. 😊

[@crazycactuscollector2462]

Wow your friend has amazing desert plants, I love the cholla with the beautiful red and yellow flowers 😮. Really great video, thanks for sharing 🌵🌵😊

[@CactusCaffeine]

Yeah. That is the first time I have seen a cholla in flower. Pretty. I wonder how long till my cactus get to that size! Thank you for watching and commenting. 🙂🌵☕️

[@pattivermeersch7348]

What a beautiful garden!!! Glad you were able to take cuttings..

[@CactusCaffeine]

The cuttings have all rooted now. I just wish my yard would be as beautiful. Thanks for watching! 🙂🌵☕️

[@thedesertplantdiary2382]

Hi Anna! Fantastic tour! So simple, yet intriguing. And boy oh boy, are some of those cacti massive or what! You must tell the plant lover that he's done some brilliant work. Well done. Thank you for taking time to make this video so we could all enjoy it Anna. You're awesome. From the garden city of India to you, have a fantastic week and stay blest always! Cheerio!

[@CactusCaffeine]

Unfortunately my friend is not a plant person. The previous owner of the house was. He was just lucky to buy a house with an established garden. I hope my friend can keep his plants as healthy as they are now.

[@stepseven3961]

Wow it looks like a wonderful oasis in the desert! So nice, thanks so much :)

[@WhatTheFlockFarm]

How absolutely gorgeous!! 🌵

[@CactusCaffeine]

What The Flock Farm, really simple yard but the cacti are all old and well established!

[@giantcheesegrater]

Interesting seeing the bottlebrush plants there (Calistemon viminalis ?) as I generally always associate them with Australian bush rather than with cactus/succulent plants.

[@marizatorres253]

what a nice and beautiful dessert garden, i love the opuntias and the cholla, tnx for sharing sis

[@CactusCaffeine]

Sis, thank you! I appreciate you for always watching. 😉 Cheers! ☕️

[@itsjustjudy4958]

So beautiful Anna thank you for sharing yes the backyard looks gorgeous and is in inspiration for sure

[@CactusCaffeine]

I like how simple and clean it was! Thank you Judy! I miss your videos.

[@cesarcardenas5529]

You have a nice and relaxing voice, I enjoy it, awesome garden, congratulations.

[@Cactimania]

Wow huge Opuntia, I love the Ocotillo, wouldn’t mind some cuttings from that myself 😉 Very nice desert garden your friend has Ana, thank you for the tour 👍🏻☀️🌵

[@CactusCaffeine]

Cacti Mania, haha. It would be hard to take cuttings from the ocotillo as they are tall! One thing with them, they don’t have leaves for most part of the year at least in our weather. But they are very tough plants. Thank you for watching! ☺️

[@edithcoliagrandis]

There is definitely beauty in simplicity. Nice garden 👍 Thank you for the tour, Ana. Cheers. ☺️☕️

[@CactusCaffeine]

You said it perfectly. Looks very neat, too.

[@nattyssucculentlife8462]

Love the simplicity of it! So so beautiful!!

[@CactusCaffeine]

So true Natty. Even though there were cacti all around, it was done neatly. I noticed the cacti were even trimmed such that nothing is sticking out to where people will walk by.

[@nattyssucculentlife8462]

Wow such careful thought and so beautifully maintained. It’s truly lovely ❤️❤️❤️

[@dannyabbatiello4456]

Absolutely love your videos.

[@CactusCaffeine]

Thank you. I appreciate it. ☺️

[@mariavillarreal8370]

Cool..

[@mollycher3630]

Hi Ana, what a wonderful desert garden.😍😍😃 Your friend is truly lucky, he doesn't have to do any landscaping or planting anymore. The cacti are all really matured and blooming. That barrel cactus has to be at least 10 yrs old as it's already flowering. Same goes for the other cacti. Image how much you have to pay for plants that size and age. There's even top dressing OMG the previous owner must have been an even greater cacti lover than us LOL 😅😅 You have so many free cuttings now, Ana! Lucky you!

[@CactusCaffeine]

You are correct Molly, I noticed there were small cuttings that were stuck in the ground. So the previous owner was really into cactus! The cacti are all mature, too and well trimmed and shaped.

[@Nancy_sophia]

I toooo want

[@Conta_Google]

gorgeous disert garden, congrats!

[@CactusCaffeine]

Thank you! Cheers. 🌵☕️

[@jodihankins9523]

At 9:25, we always called that tall cactus a Pipe Organ cactus. Ours had yellow/white flowers. Unfortunately, the flowers would only last a few days.

[@MiniatureWorlds]

*so nice* 😊✨

[@brendalucian6219]

I hope the paths around the house and garden are well- lit; I wouldn't want to bump into any of those in the dark!Or in the light either- beautiful garden,though.

[@CactusCaffeine]

😄 thanks for visiting!

Honey here in Mexico, we eat a few🤭😁🌾

[@CactusCaffeine]

Gabi Ocampo I’ve tried the nopales and they are good! 👍🏼

[@gabiocampo6639]

@@CactusCaffeine great 👌😃

[@thecrazylooser7]

Quick question, I’m landscaping a Mexican desert type in my garden, I’m testing watering conditions of my cactus and suculentas, getting experience in ponds, in the meantime I’m collecting big rocks and river pebbles. My problem: grass, grows everywhere, how do you deal with it without damaging cactus or suculentas? Nice videos. Subscribed.

Beautiful 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍gratitude🙏🌱🌿🌸💗

Thank you! Hope your day is bright, sunny and wonderful! 😊🌵☕️

Hello from Ken in Japan another great video

[@CactusCaffeine]

Hi Ken. How are your cactus doing?

[@stephaniecarman4615]

We need a full one video update

[@OreoTime1]

Beautiful garden. Do you know the name of the spike like plant that is in the middle (front) on 4:50? I have 2 of them and I will love to know their names. Thanks for the share of the video. Stay well ~ Leida

[@aquilaarroyo6077]

Awesome plants! what was the name of the bush at 5:40 with the red/orange blooms? Thanks for the tour, great video!

[@nellielara7284]

Lantana... I think.

[@jorgecanales798]

What growing zone is that in? I'm in zone 8 and wonder if some of the cacti from the video will survive in my zone

[@hectorgauna350]

Wow I only dream of having a backyard like that. But unfortunately I have dogs so I don’t think that would be safe for them, especially since those spikes get so big lol.

[@CactusCaffeine]

I have some cacti with big spines in my backyard. My medium-sized dog learned how to stay away from them. 🤣 But some of them, I did put a fence around it to keep my dog away. Thanks for stopping by! 😊 cheers! ☕️

[@violetatudor]

This garden needs some #LauraEubanks love

[@josearana7704]

QUESTION?I live in North Carolina but I love the 🏜 look I'm trying to make a design like this at my house do any of these cactus survive here

[@CactusCaffeine]

They can survive rain if you have an elevated and well-draining soil. But they will not survive snow. 😕

[@josearana7704]

@@CactusCaffeine we usually have like 6 months of winter an 6 months summer time it's like 50 50 thru out the year but I planted some 🌵that I brought from Mexico an they seem to be doing good growing but I really wanted to try to grow other kinds of cactus 😊

[@CactusCaffeine]

If you can give them shelter from rain and some warmth on freezing days, you should be able to make it work. 😃

[@josearana7704]

@@CactusCaffeine u no that's wat I was thinking another QUESTION??when I plant them on the ground do I have to put them in an angle like a lil slope to make the water drain better??? Cuz I got like 3 different types of 🌵 I want to put an agave plant???

[@Goody2shzToo]

Where I live at 4,000 ft. in the California high desert, we get freezing temperatures every winter and a few snows per year. I have those cow's tongue cactus and several different types of opuntia and they make it through winter fine. I also have a cholla that does fine. I think in your area the big challenge would be the humidity, not the cold. Where I live it's very low humidity. Good luck!

[@nellielara7284]

So what’s the name of the tallest ones?

[@RVBadlands2015]

Beautiful garden but too much lawn.

[@christineribone9351]

Ocotillo is a Spanish name. It is pronounced 'O-CA-TE-YO' The two L's together are pronounced as a 'Y'.

[@CactusCaffeine]

Thank you. ☺️

[@RVBadlands2015]

What part of Nevada.

[@CactusCaffeine]

Las Vegas. 🙂
