I'd love to have a big Dyckia😆 Thanks for introducing me to another interesting plant! Last summer I found your channel, commented I found the plants interesting to look at even though I didn't think they were my thing to own (something along those lines). By now I have 3 agave, about 20 cacti and can't enough of them! I just had seen so little and found out by watching your videos how much crazy cool stuff is out there. So another thanks, for taking us along on your visits. There are very little nurseries like this in The Netherlands

When you first picked up the plant at 10:20 seconds I thought you were picking up something out of a plastic pot and showing the root ball, that's a Grand Marnier hybrid I believe

Dyckia are mildly succulent. Probably less so than other xeric bromeliads like Hechtia. Great video. Thanks.

Years ago, when kiddos were really Young, I decided to try hard wax (like for leg waxing) to get a piece of glass out of a kiddo’s finger. Worked perfectly. I realized I could use it for cacti spines. It needs to be the hard wax but it works so well, especially for when you can’t find the spine.

Nice video. I use bonsai branch cutters to do this on my potted agaves. They work well and cut across the leaf base more easily than scissors and save my fingers. I think they'd work well on these Dyckias

I’m liking the haircuts. How often does he water? How often would they need water in San Diego, for example? Thanks.
@CactusQuest6 ай бұрын
in winter he waters about once a month trying to have it coincide with warmer sunnier days and in the warm season he waters about once a week.

Great video, I've just got some Dyckia Brevifolia seeds which I'm hoping to germinate when the weather gets a bit warmer. I like the idea of doing bonsai on them as I'm space limited, let's hope I can get a few to germinate and grow to a decent size!
@CactusQuest6 ай бұрын
Good luck! Im sure you'll do great. From what John was telling me they are pretty easy to grow from seed and tend to be pretty bullet proof from my experience although I have yet to try them from seed
