My ric rac is growing well but it's got what I'd call "feelers" on all the stems ? Small root like growths along the bottom of all of them. They are about 2-3 feet long and growing great but I'm not sure if I should trim those off or not ?

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Thanks for sharing.

[@TylerMossop]

Thanks for watching!

[@cathylocklin3215]

I just found your channel & have watched numerous videos, good tips, beautiful staging, but WAY to many hit the like button / subscribe in each video, saying it once is enough…… I hope this is helpful.

[@LostInThisGardenofLife]

yay! I love them! Funny story I had my fish bone cactus growing outside against the house and it grew into the vinyl siding somehow, luckily I got to it in time before it was too far in there. 😱🤣

[@TylerMossop]

Lol!!

[@jacksonk1043]

Damn bruh took like 75% through the video before you got to the point

[@Unpotted]

Was looking for one of these the last several years. Lucked upon one in a sugar skull planter at a grocery store just before Halloween. 👏👏👏 SO happy!! Thanks for the care video. Also I would recommend an airy orchid or Aroid potting medium (perhaps half and half?) since these are epiphytes like Rhipsalis. Oh, that pumpkin video had me laughing so hard I startled the cat off my lap!! 🤣🤣 Congratulations on your successful front porch decorating. The monstera leaf carving was gorgeous. ❤️😸✌️

[@TylerMossop]

Thanks!! Glad you found one! Aroid mix with charcoal is best I think

[@carolgraham7691]

Where did you find those TALL CLOCHES??? just bought a rickrac cactus..thanks for info..

[@TylerMossop]

Monday’s new video answers that question about the cloches

[@happyhappycatus]

Nice, thank u. I wonder why air plants need fertilizer, since they don't anchor in the soil.

[@bernardinaritapereira261]

How do I induce flowering. This fishbone cactus has been a part of my garden plants for the last eight years or so.

[@TylerMossop]

Hi there! They do need to have some age to them for flowering to occur… and I think they have some temperature and other condition requirements in order to get some flowers! Mine haven’t bloomed yet either 😢

[@michellechapman6839]

Mine is slow growing but healthy ..it grows more in the summer months and i use a basic fertilizer.

This video was a ramble of useless information that was all over the place. Anda thea robotic speech pattern was off- putting. You seem like a very nice man, and your plants are beautiful. If you want to GROW your channel.... BE DIRECT. GET TO THE POINT. HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS. Don't waisted your time and the viewers time by opening with a " what I am going to talk about list." JUST GET TO IT. And relax. The unnatural speech pattern really does sound like AI. Loosen Up. Time is valuable when it comes to INFO videos. Wish you success.🌿💮🌱

[@ogsltd9912]

@@rulistening7777 I agree. This is the only video I’ve found where the cactus was the almost as big as mine so I was really interested. But the staggered sing-song speaking was really off putting and by the end of the video, he’d said virtually nothing. Shame, like you said, he could be a good channel.

[@Jasapan-u4s]

Hi Tyler. Any idea why my cactus is shooting out skinny green stems with hairline roots coming off of them? Thank you!!!

[@TylerMossop]

Totally normal! How’s the humidity?

[@Jasapan-u4s]

@@TylerMossop , average home. I actually haven’t checked what my house is but doesn’t feel super dry nor humid. Can I cut them off? They are growing out of the pretty zig zag stems and I’m not loving how it changes the appearance.

[@TylerMossop]

I wouldn't recommend cutting/prunning those. It's a normal part of the plant

[@Jasapan-u4s]

@@TylerMossop , okay. I really appreciate your feedback. I’ll grow to love them.

[@pattyfroehle7374]

Thanks for asking this question as that’s why I clicked. Thought he would have discussed this since it’s in the title. Somewhat annoying that I had to read comments for this info. Sorry but I won’t be following.

[@lorethebore5863]

woah the closed captions are wack

[@TylerMossop]

For which language? Thanks for the heads up

[@karenboyle9268]

My fish bone cactus is a baby..its only about 7 inches.i got it in the mail..had a lot of.roots on it.

[@TylerMossop]

Nice!

[@eppicNESSSS]

I got the fattest crush rn

[@villalobosregina]

Why is my gosh one yellowing? I’m so sad :(

[@TylerMossop]

Oh no! Maybe less water?

He talks a lot and says very little ugh.
