Absolutely beautiful succulent garden!

[@lly8598]

Your garden is beautiful 🌵 Thank you for the tips. I planted my first cactus garden today.

[@dmitriymigal2513]

Thanks Jim! I have been to Cactus Country and loved it! Now I know how to plant a cactus without getting prickled! Cacti are awesome!!!

[@mmp495]

Awesome! What a beautiful display you have. Love the Styrofoam tip. I have confidence in planting mine. ❤🌵

[@ernestguzman4962]

The word “beautiful” doesn’t come to mind when I think of cactus, but that’s how I would describe your garden

[@nicadube]

This is super helpful! Thank you! The styrofoam is brilliant!

[@PearLcarolinejaneara6760]

Wowwwwwww lovely beautiful cacti

[@MatthewWeller88]

Excellent! Thank you for the guidance

[@taureanlivermore4380]

The styrofoam is an excellent idea! I was going to buy some expensive gloves that probably still wouldn’t have protected me, but the styrofoam will protect me 100 percent. I had some laying around the house from a recent television purchase.

Thanks, this was helpful for me today!

i cant show this to my father he'll never leave lol.

[@josegeronimocarrillomanriq34]

Good morning, very beautiful specimens, my question is if they cannot be separated so that they do not prick each other?

[@jonosgood6730]

Much better than Styrene, newspaper or towels is a very thick high-quality pair of welding gloves that are big enough to put on and off easily. Buy the thickest ones a dedicated welding supply house sell! Thin or El Cheapo one will not suffice.

Good area for cacti up there. I might have to come up and have a look. I have over 80 cacti excluding about 150 dragonfruit and my mother is into cacti. I keep telling her about the golden barrel cacti and she's yet to see one. Especially not a GOOD SIZE one.

Love the vid, but what if it rains?

[@STOPHACKING..]

Wow!!!! Do they survive in the winter? Im from Pennsylvania and I’m very interested to planting them. I love cactus 🌵

[@OffGridInvestor]

Winter in that oart of the world is lucky to even see frosts. It's in the north of my state beside a huge river and a lot of it is essentially irrigated desert. They're bog in the grapes raisin business and were big in citrus and I even hear of people growing potatoes up there, literally semis full

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

Absolutely not for your neck of the woods. I'm your neighbor, so we see the same climate zone. All my cacti are in pots, and must be coaxed into winter dormancy every September to October, and won't get a drop of water until next April, early May, depending on how spring is coming back. Then it's full on direct sun for as long as possible, coupled with quality watering and secret weapon fertilizer.... until the next September rolls around. Right now as I type, my cacti havnt been watered since the 2nd week of September, and I will be bringing them indoors very soon. Frost is coming.

[@STOPHACKING..]

@@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302 thank you so much such a great informative information, appreciated

[@alewgobbi7608]

Have you modified your soil in any other way? I want to grow cacti in the ground even for a just a 'booster season' in the ground but I'm wondering if my soil would work the same (it's still the same looking red soil as yours)

[@CactusCountryStrathmerton]

As long as you have a soil type this is well draining, then you should be able to add some slow release fertiliser and increase the growth. We usually grow our small plants in pots initially because we can grow them faster in hot houses before we put them out in the field.

[@babybear4524]

Can you please tell me the easiest and safest way to remove a large multi barrel cactus that's attached?

[@peacedove9513]

How much was that plant$$ will it grow in zone 9a??

[@elizabethmathew9730]

Can you plant small ones on the ground?do they become big?

[@rodrigomatos5200]

i don't think so because cactus roots will rot when they are in a pot that's too big for them

[@DhyanGhar]

Hello, Jim I am a cacti blogger, writing, and researching on these topics. Can you shoot a long video for me? I will be grateful to you forever.

How to plant a cactus on a marble tomb stone?

[@cleuzamaria6759]

Pena que não dá pra entender nada doque ele fala

[@Xingqiwu387]

MUTE! Hit the MUTE button and just watch the man. The sound quality here is terrible because of the mike picking up all the wind noise. You don't need to hear the explanation, just watch.

[@gabehorn2988]

Explanation provides lots of valuable information especially if you are a beginner. Do not mute, you’ll live through the wind noises that come through here and there

[@pingary7502]

It’s really not bad at all just a little wind
