How I Grow my Echinopsis subdenudata Cacti 'Domino Cactus' 'Easter Lily Cactus'

[@desertplantsofavalon]

All about Echinopsis subdenudata Cactus & how I Grow mine 😄🥰❤🌵🌵🌵🌵

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

Ive had one for 7 grow seasons now. It sure is a happy little flowering cactus, multiple blooms at once. It has a very silky, lemon like scent with its big flowers, and local bees LOVE it and gather pollen everytime it blooms. I love that!!! I always imagine all the other bees back at the hive are like "Whoa!!! Whered you find _your_ pollen at?!"

[@desertplantsofavalon]

Thats fantastic you have one of these beautiful Echinopsis subdenudatas too, they really are stunning cacti to grow and amazing scented blooms, and yes haha the Bees at the Hive must think WOWSERS haha, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from the Emerald Isle XXXX

My very first cactus was a E. subdenudata 😁 it grew quite tall and unfortunatly fell over 2 years ago and then rotted. Luckily i could resque the only little offset it ever produced. It bloomed last year and today i counted 5 buds! 😍 It's good you gave this common but non the less 'top' cactus the credit it deserves👍🏻

[@desertplantsofavalon]

Thats fantastic you very first cactus was an Echinopsis subdenudata, they really are gorgeous looking cacti, but so sorry to hear your cactus rotted but wonderful you was able to save the pup and it bloomed and now has five buds, thanks so much Jeanine for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX

Vegitable gardner here, know nothing about cacti. 2 years ago, mom gave me a pup off of her Easter lilly. I put it in a small pot with regular potting mix, and it rooted fine. Just potted it up with proper cacti potting mix. Thanks for the video. I probably should have researched this sooner, lol

Thanks for a very informative video Lyn, only just got a chance to watch this. My ones that I'm growing from seed are still small but doing well. Actually very satisfying plants to grow, and I have yet to experience the flowers. A good tip about them being quite hungry, when I finally get reunited with my collection in a few days I'll make a point of feeding mine, assuming they've survived a couple of weeks' drought and neglect! Wishing you and Hans all the best from (a still rather chilly) England. 🙂🌵

Great info Lyn! How do you mix & apply the Epsom salt for plants? As always, thanks for sharing Lyn!

[@desertplantsofavalon]

So happy you loved the info Carol :-D I use 1/4 of a teaspoon of the Epsom salts dissolved in a pint of water and water it into the soil, Epsom salts is high in magnesium and really helps to green up plants, thanks so much Carol for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Friday XXXX

[@solarwinds-]

TY Lyn, I'm glad your subdenudata new growth greened up after fertilizing. My Echinobivia Rainbow Burst is sort of pale green. She was nice and green when I bought her. I fertilize her with tomato fertilizer 2 times in late winter and none the rest of the year. In your experience do your Echinopsis need more?

[@desertplantsofavalon]

Hi Marie :-D I notice my Echinopsis seem to need more regular fertilising than my other cacti do, they seem to be more hungry cacti than my others haha, I give mine a half strength fertiliser with every 3rd watering I give to them from Spring until late Summer, thanks so much Marie for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic new week XXXX

[@solarwinds-]

@@desertplantsofavalon Do you find that exclusively using tomato is enough for your Echinopsis or do you find you need to supplement your Echinos food with regular cactus feed?

[@desertplantsofavalon]

@@solarwinds- Hi Marie :-D I find the Tomato feed works well on its own for the Echinopsis, but I do add a quarter to a half of a teaspoon of Epsom salts to a pint of water with the subdenudatas as they seem to have a tendency to go a bit yellow, I find the high magnesium in the Epsom salts helps to green them up, have a fantastic Sunday today Marie, and sending lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXX

Hey Lyn, thanks for this very interesting & informative video! Got a few E subdenudata, too. Bought one at Ikea a few yrs ago 😅 It started producing offsets last year (2), this year a lot more (7), and first started blooming July this yr. Growing them on the balcony (full sun, south facing) from March-April until Oct.-Nov. depending on how fast the winter comes. I'm in 🇨🇭 so yeah... Then back inside, as temps can drop to -15/20°C. Quick question: Is it actually possible to pollinate an E sub* pup with its 'mum' (as they'd share kind of the same DNA)? I did just that (although I'm not 100% sure it's a pup, they were already growing next to each other when I bought them, so maybe just 2 separate plants), and the fruit's been growing well so far (no abortion). What's your take on that? ❔ I'm growing Haworthia/H-opsis, too. It's almost time to bring them back inside, so if you have any (& time to shoot) I'd love to hear from yours! ;-) Cheers! -Thomas

[@desertplantsofavalon]

So happy you loved the video Thomas :-D and thats fantastic you have some echinopsis subdenudatas too, they are gorgeous cacti to grow, the good news is yes its definitely possible to cross pollinate an Echinopsis pup in flower wiht its Mother plant in flower, I have done this myself with a few of the Echinopsis pups I removed from my Mother plants that were flowering at the same time as the Mother plant and got seeds, thats fantastic you are growing Haworthia and Haworthopsis too, I am planning on filming an update on all the Haworthias in the next few weeks, and also when I move the non cold hardy plants back inside for winter, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic weekend XXXX
