Growing Cactus From Seed (ONE YEAR Time Lapse)

A whole year time-lapse of growing a cactus plant from a seed. A cactus seed was chosen randomly from a mix varieties pack. It only took about 10 days from planting to see a cactus seedling came up and 15 more days to develop the first batch of spikes. However, it was slow after that, take over a year for the cactus to be about 3 inches diameter.

Cactus bro was ready for a fight after hatching, same as kittens are ready to fite as well

[@Wavy_Gravy]

Some babies, too, lol. I came out blue, got revived, and started swinging!

[@bartlipetri6895]

Fantastic! Cool to see the soil breathe.

[@Cp-71]

I like the random mushrooms fruiting at around 0:19 - they're some species of Coprinus :)

[@totopolo2379]

spot on thx

[@nzabeen]

first time seeing a cactus grwoing from seed. very nice....

[@profhobo8681]

It's interesting how it seems to grow very slow at first, then it speeds up in waves, then it really expands on the last month or so. Kinda different from other plants where vegetative growth is front loaded

[@naturetimelapse1475]

Wow! Thank you for the cactus growth video.

[@JoseFloresEC]

so satisfying to see the progress :)

[@yourhighnesspotatoelord3695]

Amazing video! Thank you.

[@DonGrigorianFishing]

Excellent work.

[@noimagination99]

Wow! Excellent! I'd love to see some behind the scenes videos, how do you do this? Cameras, lighting, timing, soil and fertilizers, lights on 24/7 or off at night? And more. Would be very interesting to know! Thanks for sharing your great work!

Loved it!

Lindo demais

[@seokjinniesunite4339]

😮 I got this same very pack of seeds. Never grown a cactus before because I trip on air. Cactus is a threat to my life but I snatched the packet at ace hardware anyways.

[@mp5842]

wooow! so fascinating )

[@cadewalker9641]

7th and I love these videos I am trying to for a lot of different plants and stuff like that

[@UnbimoonArt]

What light do you use for plants and how many watts?

[@yeadontwearitout]

Very cool, might be a hedgehog cactus according to the plant identification app I used

[@anttikuusmetso]

Great! Pretty young saguaro! 🙂👍🌵

[@stevelau7694]

Does look like a saguaro but I've grown them many times before and they shouldn't ever exceed 1-2 inches on the 1st year unless grafted to pereskiopsis so they must be doing something extra

[@anttikuusmetso]

@@stevelau7694 I think big pot and grow lights make wonders. I have a 30-old saguaro 🙂

[@stevelau7694]

That's a good point. They are probably doing a light cycle of around 20/4, warm temperatures, strong light and all the fertilizer one seedling with no competition could ever need. All the saguaro seedlings I have ever grown have been outside, watered but not really pampered and not transplanted until there is literally no space left to grow

[@m1992seishun]

I have a hard time growing cactuses. I'm experimenting with dragon fruit seeds now.

[@eLapseTime]

We did grow a dragon fruit as well, and it was much easier than this guy.

[@carcass2677]

do you put them in a sealed bag? like the seeds

[@NeonGrapes2000]

Ive never seen the spines form first.

[@zzzcocopepe]

You should do a succulent time-lapse growing from a spare Leaf that's been shed. Because, if you pick up a little piece of cactus Leaf off the ground, you can plant it and it will grow into a new plant

[@JMHauntedAdventures]

Not true. It will just rot

[@zzzcocopepe]

@@JMHauntedAdventures no I think it will Sprout roots. There are lots of plants that do that.

[@JMHauntedAdventures]

@@zzzcocopepe I tried in before, trust me it doesn't work

[@DTS1wastaken]

@@JMHauntedAdventures Because you're doing it wrong.

[@JMHauntedAdventures]

@@DTS1wastaken well I'm not

[@paolaceballos9688]

Es ta Bueno el cactus

[@markbilui324]

🌵👍

[@gomerzpyle6805]

Is that saguaro?

[@user-dm4oq2ph6h]

When will he be ready to defend the lawn from the undead?

[@tasiedell3753]

Didn't know there was 385 days in a year

[@DiannMoonlight]

Can I grow a cactus indoor?

[@nathanielvargas3863]

Not without a grow light, heat mat and fan

[@selmabraga6164]

Eu plante um cacto ( coroa de frade) Esperei esperei esperei... Mas não sei do por que ele continua menor de 1 cm Detalhe já faz 1 ano

[@Octilious11934]

Maybe giving it less water and more sunlight?

[@TONNO1973]

Bellissimo 👏🏻

[@luizvitor5719]

🇧🇷🤨?

[@TONNO1973]

No, born in 🇮🇹 , live in sud Suisse Bellissimo is = Big Nice

[@samueldcostawardenfromthed6855]

I have a 35 year old crown cactus 🌵.

[@Mariya-12835]

1 year = 385 days Thank you

[@Deividg15]

sahuaro cactus

[@echo-channel77]

The soil level stays the same, dynamic with watering of course, but where does all the _material_ come from? Plant a fast growing vine-like plant (with the heart-shaped leaves?) and they'll grow hundreds of feet long....but again, where did all that plant material come from? The soil doesn't go down! Yes, most of it is water weight, but still, all that carbon..... how is the soil the same level? Real mystery, even though I know it's an optical illusion and that it MUST come from the soil. STILL!!??

[@cleberandrade]

From the air, comes the CO2. From the water, H. C, O, H, that's all the life needs! The rest comes from minerals (from the water and soil)

[@francegovemment.]

Bro this 20 days after one year🌵😶

[@s-lowlife1452]

Just comment

[@ItsEka-929jfm]

😅insta cacti from seed no leaves not like dragon fruit

[@Mario.alsanchez117]

MY OWN PLANT IS BETTER IT WAS DIFFICULT TO GET IT

[@THAMXIWENMoe]

cooll but dont use a pot that is too big for a cactus

[@nemesis8626]

Your substrate look far from ideal for cactus, wood bark which it looks like is a no no, any organic material you have should be fine and well draining, also this looks too organic, ideally you want max 50% peat free soil (maybe even less), mixed with perlite or preferably pumice, or both actually, maybe some horticularal grit or course sand, cacti need a really well draining soil that drys thoroughly between waterings,also teracotta pots are far better as they dry quicker are porous and don't hold as much moisture, for a seedling also i would say your pot is on the large side but that isnt as big a deal if there watered correctly and not overcared for
