How Cacti Recover from Sunburn

[@albertotr1]

This guys enthusiasm and accent sends me every time. Shout out to south Texas!

[@wizewizard1840]

I believed you from your former videos but also deep down kinda doubted it that the farina was only produced by the meristem. Thank you for clearing it up that it's actually the epidermis that produces is because I always had the feeling that my Peyote did have farina in parts that didn't have it before. Also Merry X-mas from Germany! Love your videos!

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

Yeah I was absolutely wrong in my initial assumption!

[@wizewizard1840]

@@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt That's a great thing about Botany (or any other science). You are never done learning. You can get surprised every day by new revelations.

My mobster mate that teaches me advanced Flora. Best horticultural teacher I've ever had 😁

[@bill8985]

Tiny little cactus and it's 7-8 decades old? Nuts

[@ArmchairExpress]

That's why it's so sad when you see monster multi-headed specimen get poached. To get that large the peyote has to be absolutely ancient.

[@SuperStststststst]

Moving some from grow lights to outside after winter i was amazed the extent of both the damage and the level of recovery.

[@gloriacardenas2056]

Me encanta los cactus tomate pero no los conozco si en tus videos.desde Colombia saludos y gracias por subir videos de cactus me gusta muchísimo.

[@davidbryden7904]

It looks like the peyote recovers much easier than San Pedros.

[@oliverp7015]

I love your videos… you sound like the guys I played softball with growing up near Irving Park Middle School 😊

[@sub-vibes]

You even found the same ones you visited before! They're your little buddies. Just don't talk to them. 👍😜

[@rat_bat]

what a cool video thanks for sharing! i knew nothing about peyote before this video and now i know a few interesting tidbits

[@nicknorthcutt7680]

I had a big San Pedro in ny backyard, I love cactus 😁🌵

[@dansamarco1610]

I'd assume getting sunburnt would probably use up a lot of stored energy so I'd expect it to grow a lot slower in the time it's rebuilding that wax layer

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

Same. Synthesizing new epicuticular wax and cuticle has got to be expensive.

[@ron_dogg]

Hey Joey, are you still collaborating with Hamilton Morris to produce a lophophora pamphlet?

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

Haven't heard anything from him recently

[@iconofsin1043]

Do they recover from frost bite?

[@Brett710]

as a central texan, I would love to find a wild peyote someday. I had a HS friend w/ a deer lease near three rivers and looking back wish I had known to look for them.

[@jamieellohengee2667]

I miss the pop up pictures of Dennis Farina's face. Can't speak for everyone, but that's what I picture now every time you say "Farina."

[@maggielandrey7232]

Love the lophophora videos! They are such a cool group of cacti (they are all cool, but I am rather partial to lophs) Always learn something new! P.s. you gave those poor peyotes non-consensual tans! You monster!! (Jk)

[@PunkMozh]

I love your channel

[@illiilliilliill]

Sunburnt peyote looks like a tomato 🍅

[@FesteringEarth]

Just don't cook it with the marinara, ok? Last thing I need is a trip after eating my pasta.

[@lactofermentation]

An incompletely roasted tomato. Looks like when I'm roasting for salsa and check on them too early.

[@TheCakeeISaLIEE]

Love from Dallas !

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

@7:20 At 30-40C (Other side of the world, so no freedom units) I can water and fertilise every 2-3 days. They're not as slow growing as many think. While yes not using a free draining mix but one which can retain a bit of moisture, they'll wick it out and use it. I believe the line on watering is around 24C soil temp lows, below which root rot can thrive. I'm attempting to create a calcareous clay mix from off-the-shelf components. We'll see how far I get on that endevour.

[@maskedman1337]

Love me some Lophophora.

[@sebastianyork6839]

One of my favorite hiking spots was off I-10 between Joshua tree and box canyon in California incredible density of cactus population last couple times though i could barely find a single individual aside from a few chollas barely clinging to life in the shade of the mountain kinda mind blowing how species that have thrived in a region for probably thousands of years can be wiped out just a few

[@justinherrick1944]

Just watched a peyote video from a year ago this morning! Hows that for timing?

[@allenzophy4262]

Do all cactus have the potential to suffer the same condition, and use the same mechanism to heal?

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

I'd assume so, yes, though can't say with certainty for species with very tough cuticle like Ariocarpus

[@williambouthillier8611]

Interesting! Although when I looked up Epicuticular Wax and Farina, I noticed these aren't quite the same. The epicuticular wax is made of long chain fatty acids, alcohols and aldehydes (basically vegetable oil) while the farina is usually made out of polyphenolic polymers which are closer to lignin than regular vegetable oil.

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

Yeah they're not exactly the same thing though I tend to use them interchangeably . Farina is generally secreted by glandular trichomes, which is still part of the epidermal tissue but farina itself is considered more of a powder.

[@xPumaFangx]

Must be nice being warm year round.

[@Rita-i5v]

Thanks for the information bless you amen

[@MrPedur]

Since the pigs are physically similar to us humans, will they be affected by eating Lophophora Williamsii?

[@Heavilymoderated]

When you said “growing your cactus in shade”, I thought you said “growing your cactus in shame”, and it felt a little dirty. Maybe in a good way…

[@patheticpotato4545]

So do you grow them in pots before planting? And how much of what you saw would you say is what you planted and how much is natural regeneration of the population?

I hate dessert....i wish you would do more videos about the orchids of Canada

Anyone wonder what a pig on peyote would produce?

A Technicolor stream of 🤮 is a strong possibility 😂

[@DH-.]

I had a rose plant with miniature yellow flowers in a pot for years it had no Thorns. Last summer i put it in the earth. It acted like a vine and had tendrils so i used a trellis after a very windy day the trellis collapsed the plant and everything looked riped i couldn't fix it. I picked up the tattered soft rose vines stabilized them so they grow up again . 2 weeks later it looks healthy and tall i go to make adjustments and bamb ! its got razor sharp needle like thorns . Did the episode of violence unlock a latent defense mechanism?

[@Glaudge]

How do you reconcile the differences between 'native plant only' philosophy vs ex-situ conservation (working under the assumption that the species in question is reasonably non-invasive)

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

I don't understand what you're asking? Who has a "native plant only" philosophy, and in regards to what? Planting a garden? Habitat restoration? Not every non-native is an invasive but every invasive is a non-native.

[@Glaudge]

Most of the time in your content you keep stressing to plant natives only, correct?

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

@Glaudge I emphasize them because they're usually what's easiest and what supports the most other life forms. Keep in mind, however, that 98% of invasives are from other continents because the ecosystems of continents have been mostly separated from each other for exponentially long amounts of time. Most plants, if from the same continent, I don't find to be nor consider to be invasive. Few of them behave that way in cultivated setting. My focus on natives is not akin to religious dogmatism, it's only on pragmatism

[@ecosphere1015]

America's most beautiful native plant! Illegal to plant this one, but how you gonna stop Mother Nature?

I assume it's similar to humans where the extreme sun burn and UV exposure damages their cells & DNA also?

[@daveadalian4116]

The lesson here is the locals know how to deal with the "invasive" plants, so leave them alone. Pretty soon, new integration. There's nothing that we need to add or do.

[@whatilearnttoday5295]

That grass will crowd out everything. Everything.

[@lactofermentation]

Except when they don't. Sounds like you've never seen invasives form a huge monoculture that doesn't go away.

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

Negative. The invasive buffelgrass causes extinctions. These plants would've died eventually had we not removed the buffelgrass. They'd have been unable to photosynthesize and would've effectively starved. Buffelgrass smothers and causes biodiversity loss. I've seen it in the ten years since if rist came down to South Texas

[@CrimePaysButBotanyDoesnt]

Absolute crazy talk lol
