I love how Jack is inspecting his plants even as he is being interviewed.

This guy needs to write a book...he's taken growing to a new level. I've been a hard grower for decades and progress is slow...but this ....I might have to change tactics 🤔 excellent info and video🌿

[@shawnpaxton6428]

Then you should no there's NO WAY he grew these in 6 years...he has purchased them and is now maintaining them.

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

There are many of these chequebook collectors. They go hard, like hoarders. You need to talk to the people who sell them the specimens.

[@oh5148]

Pretty sure plants were purchased matured already

[@dodopuipui1440]

​@@oh5148how are you so sure? wheres your proof to backup your claim? im honestly curious

hearing plant people talk is so filled with poetry and intellectual passion. so wonderful!

[@cheryllemons3134]

Jack's collection is amazing and even that word is not great enough to describe it!! Can't believe he has done all of that in 6 years....WOW!!!

[@michellechapman6839]

Amazing!!!! Just amazing... plants, cultural and education all in one video!!!

[@shawnpaxton6428]

No one in the world can grow to those sizes in 6 years...I'm going to bet he's spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to accumulate what we see here.

Such an amazing collection.

[@ricardogonzalez1894]

There is no way that in 6 years he could've achieved that success with the ariocarpus. You would've bought them big already and continue to maintain them. Those are very expensive plants. Wow!

[@ricardogonzalez1894]

It would be great if you give us an advise on how to root arios after de-grafting them. Do you keep a little piece of the stump to allow it to root?

[@jenimbusy6765]

I said the same thing, and then died laughing when I read your comment. I grow these from seed......... DECADES! 😘

[@ricardogonzalez1894]

@@jenimbusy6765 6 years x 10 = 60 years....that's reasonable.

[@terriejohnston8801]

EXACTLY!! Noticed MOST were still in the plastic pots WE buy them in. 😄😄 Like sure..go to Home Depot @ buy everything on the shelves. . Im glad Jack repeated instructions for watering, etc. And the 3 stages of watering i know about. The collection IS spectacular. However it takes years to have a Seasoned Collection of plants OR Cactus such as this manicured one. Its stunning, but I prefer TerraCotta pots - @ a more causal Setting. Either way ....they're worth growing @ enjoying. TY4 sharing

[@jaredpreston8658]

Some kooky responses. NONE of these plants look like the habitat scourged plants you see on eBay. Lol if he does have any like that he definitely didn’t show them in this video. And worrying about whether or not he grew the specimen plants from seed or not.. What?? He’s clearly acquiring specimen plants so that he can acquire tons of seed and pass on desirable traits with his seed grown plants. He never said he grew these specimen plants from seed. Mr. Baso didn’t grow all of his insane specimen plants from seed but you wouldn’t try to take something away from his business.

[@lserlohn]

that is the coolest cactus collection i've seen

[@sudipwebs]

Amazing collection of Astrophytum and Ariocarpus

[@CactusQuest]

pretty incredible - one of the best I've seen

[@bile897]

Holy! I love this! That’s a good fact wetting it doesn’t mean it’s absorbed. This is why I use drip pads I get from ikea for a mudroom. I let it fall out the pot and then sit in a puddle which will suck it back up. When it does that fully then you know it’s has been watered properly. If there’s excess water, remove it.

[@Idontthinksokid]

This has got to be one of the most insane videos I’ve ever seen.

[@andreschelinguitar]

Absolutely incredible!!! Really need to figure out a way to bring back some plants next time I´m in Japan. Love how you are showing us how different the same plant can look when its hardgrown vs cultivated in a greenhouse.

[@Olga-v6w4n]

Невероятно красивые экземпляры, спасибо что пустили посмотреть и за советы. Желаю здоровья и новых питомцев!

[@ОльгаШефер-ы9ъ]

Вот это кактусы, так кактусы! Японцы волшебники, таких гибридов нигде больше не увидишь, просто инопланетные! Спасибо за ролик.

[@chompushkabombushka3595]

Damn dude, what an episode. One question I had about watering, and maybe you could speak to this for your own plants, does he spray directly over the plants getting them wet when he waters, or is he only watering the soil for his larger plants? I’ve always heard that’s a good way to kill plants like say aricarpus retusus because water will sit in the crevices of the leaves. This kinda doesn’t make sense to me since obliviously rain in habitat is going to hit all parts of the plant and they do fine. Any clarification would be appreciated. Cheers!

[@AIDIBiomed]

All the plants are watered from overhead. Bottom watering or watering only the soil is doable for a smaller collection.

[@rheashumblesanctuary9976]

A fascinating collection and the amount of dedication to care for all of it is so admirable.

[@Cactuscarlo]

Hunter thank you for your amazing video ,also thank you Jack for shearing the knowledge 🔥🔥🔥

[@Mari443Garrett1]

Good god.. that is some massive collection. I love them all..

[@dannyf8-nv668]

Of all your videos I’ve binged lately, this is my favorite. I’ve only been collecting for less than a year, but my favorites are arios, astros and poas. I’ve acquired too many to keep under lights anymore, so I just ordered a greenhouse. I have so many questions, and I’m afraid of watering. It can be overwhelming for a newb like me. This man just answered so many questions, and has proof to back it up. Tomorrow I am going to attempt water therapy, because I have a bunch of astors and gymnos that are having the hardest time rooting. Thanks for all that you do, I love your content, and you’re a total asset.

[@sabrinalovett3199]

[@LoPhoBoi]

BEST CAUDEX CHANNEL OF ALL!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@SimaShangde]

I would say that there is an easy explanation for triple-watering working for Jack well. He is using a mix of about 70% of scoria and 30% of a supermarket soil. Grit size scoria has extremely high permeability but low water retention. Bag soils usually are made predominantly from peat which is hard to rehydrade after drying out. That combo let's water go through crazy fast but at the same time water retention is very low, that's why it requires multiple watering to get fully soaked. Soils with good share of clay, silt and sand size particles usually have very high water holding capacity, that's why they require only a singe time watering to get soaked, comparing with very gritty soils with low amount of fine particles.

[@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke]

I ordered scoria once and it was the red and grey lava rock we saw on Jack's surface layers everywhere. However this is just a top dressing, he said it's _pumice_ he's using for 70% of his mix. (Maybe that counts as a type of scoria too though?)

[@SimaShangde]

​@@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke Well, he called it pumice, but the only thing I was able to see was a scoria, that's why I assumed that he had mistaken one for another. Basically, scoria and pumice are the same type of rock, but they are still two different things. The main differences are their chemical composition (usually scoria is a vesicular basalt and pumice a vesicular ryolite) and size of their vesicles (scoria has big, pumice small vesicles). Scoria is black to reddish, depending on the oxidation stage of iron in it, pumice is gray to nearly white. Pumice is lighter (both in color and weight) and has somewat better water retention.

[@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke]

@@SimaShangde Cool, that's what I thought. Yep I'm sure he's just using pure scoria as a pretty top dressing as there's no 30% cactus potting mix visible there. Under the surface though, it will be pumice and cactus potting mix :) :)

[@jacolursen1145]

[@bobs5596]

are the astros in the water degrafts that won't root? this is an important point, i might have missed what he said. but i cant think of any other reason an astro wouldn't root. would you do the same for degrafted arios?

[@jorden2003]

@@bobs5596 That method is for plants previously rooted, but refuses to give new roots for whatever reason. To root a cutting or degraft a plant, this won't work.
