Hi Lyn! Wonderful cacti, succulent plants and houseplants in your lovely polytunnel! All look well kept and healthy! I love those soldier like tall cacti...they are so elegant haha! I also fancied your piece of furniture...so beautiful. Looking at the plants in your polytunnel here in 2017 is bare compared to today's polytunnel. Those seedlings are little cuties! Love your huge kitchen window packed with plants! That fern is wonderful in that amazing pot! When I see your stephanotis it remind me of my poor one...I know that it will do well but at the moment we are refurbishing our small back garden where it is so we had to cut it very short! That hairy begonia is lovely and the seedlings are so cute! Plant growing is contageous Lyn!!! Thanks for showing us around! Have an amazing evening Lyn and Hans! Sending you both lots of love and happiness!

No one could ever say you neglect your plants, they all look so fabulous! I don't know how you do it with all those plants, but your polytunnel is immaculate and set up so well that it looks like you've lived there for years. Good to know you're all doing so well in Belfast!

[@desertplantsofavalon]

[@helenharris5533]

Lyn, this was a lovely video. You shared so much information. Just wish I could remember names of some of the plants that are like ones I have. I get confused as to which plants are dormant when. I know I fuss over them too much and they need a break! Going to Italy for 2 weeks and they’ll be on their own 😟 Don’t think I can bring plants back to US, but hope I’ll see some nice pots 🎄 And, I liked the longer video!

[@desertplantsofavalon]

Have a BRILLIANT time in Italy Helen :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and PLANT POWER from Ireland for a fantastic week ahead XXXX

[@shanewalsh1439]

Thanks very much Lyn,all plants looking fantastic,was in ikea in Dublin earlier this year and purchased a large trichocereus candicans for €16.00,priced the same sized one in johnstown garden centre and it was €45.00,so if your near ikea in Belfast check out their selection of cacti at very reasonable prices.all the best for the weekend and happy growing plant power.

[@desertplantsofavalon]

WOW I bet your Trichocereus candicans is a STUNNER Shane and at 16 euros thats a fantastic price :-D the brilliant news is their is a bus from Belfast city that goes direct to Ikea I think me and Hans will be paying a visit there very soon haha :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching Shane and Hans and I are sending you an abundance of love and PLANT POWER from Belfast to Kerry for a fantastic week ahead XXXX

[@memories1002]

Also I’ve always watered my cactuses in the winter. Is that a bad thing?

[@desertplantsofavalon]

Hi there :-D it can depend on what type of cactus you are growing as epiphytic and Christmas cacti like to be kept watered all year round but the Desert cacti need to be kept cool and dry from Oct to March :-D XXXXX

[@memories1002]

U have a wonderful collection. I’m having issues with my succulent collection and wondering if you can help. I brought mine all in for the winter and lately I noticed a lot of the leaves on all of my succulents have some kind of damage or holes. I looked everywhere and don’t see any kinds of bugs. What should I do? Anyone who read this comment please help.

[@desertplantsofavalon]

Hi there :-D unfortunately it could be down to many things and you would be best to post up some photos on one of the Facebook groups that help with problems and you could try the British cactus and succulent FB page they are great at helping with problems with plants and should be bale to help XXXX

[@NYCOrchidQueen]

wow. Your collection is amazing. One day I will be able to go out and identify a succulent and look like a genius because of you. Until then I really like the prickly hairy ones ♥♥

[@desertplantsofavalon]

[@nilzasuculentasnaholanda4565]

[@desertplantsofavalon]

thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending an abundance of love and PLANT POWER from Ireland for a fantastic week ahead XXXX

[@Smileyson58]

It's only my idea 😁 I was just thinking maybe putting aluminium foil around the edges? Or on the floor to capture and be able to use as much light as possible? Just getting inspired watching your vid x

[@desertplantsofavalon]

Thats a BRILLIANT idea Nadia :-D thanks so much for sharing it, the foil would definitely make a big difference, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and Hans and I are sending you an abundance of love and PLANT POWER from Ireland for a fantastic week ahead XXXX

[@Smileyson58]

Desert Plants of Avalon hahaha! I just thought the corners of your POLLY tunnel especially look dark. Maybe a little foil might keep it brighter, I'm not sure about the light reflecting and burning plants, although the light looks muted enough to not get burning rays! You inspire me and my collection with every vid ❤️😘

[@zeppypaige]

Good morning from NC, USA!!! Lyn you, Hans, and your collection is so inspiring! I just love your channel and all of your positivity. I have a question about watering succulents and winter vs. summer growers. I found your channel because I have just started growing succulents and even more recently cactus and I was looking for information. I have been subscribed to you for a few months now and I haven’t seen a video about watering the different seasonal growers. In this video I noticed more than any other all of your winter growers. Can you shed some light on if you water your succulents all the same. In specific but not limited to, I’ve seen that jade and haworthia are winter growers and are dormant in the summers and should be watered more during the winter due to this. Have you experienced that this seems to be true or do you just water all of your succulents the same no matter what?

[@zeppypaige]

Thank you so much for all that you do and taking the time to even read my comment. I hope you and Hans have a wonderful day and sending you both lots of love ☺️

[@desertplantsofavalon]

HI there :-D thanks so much for your really wonderful comment and so happy to hear you love the videos and find them inspiring, this makes us so happy to hear this :-D Its always more difficult to know when to water the Winter growers especially when the weather is cooler at this time of year, I still keep my aloes and Gasterias and Crassula's and Kalanchoe's lightly watered this time of year because they are still growing but I only enough to stop them from shrivelling because I keep them cool in the polytunnel at a temperature between 4 -10c / 45-50 F and I only water them about once every 6-8 weeks until the Spring again when I will water them weekly when the weather warms up. I would suggest keeping your Winter growers lightly watered if you are growing them indoors and they are kept above 15 / 60 F but allow the soil in the pots to totally dry out in between waterings, but if you are growing them in a cool room keep them more on the dry side :-D here is a link to a video I have made on how to water your Cacti and succulents and I mention a few tips about the Winter growers, I hope it helps :-D kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmncgGaEbLRqg5Y XXXX

[@BenjiNights]

Hi lynn did you have to cut your crassula ovata back when you moved because there smaller xx

[@desertplantsofavalon]

HI Ben :-D yes we gave them a good cut before we moved to save on space in the van and because they were top heavy haha :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comments and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and PLANT POWER from Ireland for a fantastic week ahead XXXX

[@jacobobrien2061]

I've been wondering. What happened your Brasiliopuntia brasiliensis. That was one of my personal favorites, and I plan to get one when I find one!

[@desertplantsofavalon]

HI there :-D we have the big Brasilia brasilensis in our Kitchen as its too tall for the polytunnel and too cold outside for it until the spring :-D its a fantastic plant to grow and I highly recommend growing it :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and PLANT POWER from Ireland for a fantastic week ahead XXXX

[@toddstropicals]

You guys have some wicked amazing plants! And this year has just flown by so quick! Cheers & happy growing from Florida!!!😀

[@sv4673]

Do you have to water your Christmas cactus out in the poly tunnel?

[@desertplantsofavalon]

Hi Susan :-D yes I am still keeping the Christmas cacti lightly watered in the Polytunnel as they are coming into flower but only enough water to keep the soil very lightly moist :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending an abundance of love and PLANT POWER from Ireland for a fantastic week ahead XXXX

[@desertplantsofavalon]

thanks so much Todd for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending an abundance of love and PLANT POWER from Ireland to Florida for a fantastic week ahead XXXX

[@theautist9227]

Can anyone please tell me if one should water the Winter growing succulents, or should they be kept dry as well?

[@desertplantsofavalon]

HI Robert :-D you can still continue to very lightly water the Winter growers but still keeping them more on the drier side especially if they are grown in cool conditions :-D XXXXX

[@theautist9227]

Thanks so much.

[@desertplantsofavalon]

Have a fantastic day Robert and sending tons of love and heaps of happiness and PLANT POWER from Ireland XXXX
