Cheers Daz 😊I only got them as the shop had run out of Opuntias 😁Ta for looking my friend, hope you and Edith have a lovely evening 😊😊🌵🌵

Greetings Ziggy! Awesome video! I tried really hard to pick one of the Mammillarias as my favorite. No luck, I really like them all. The two views of each Mammillaria was excellent. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you have a great evening my friend!

[@ZiggySearchfieldCactus]

Wotcha Jeff 😊 You'll have to come over to have a look at them to pick one 😁 Thought the 2 views might help, usually only the one when you're looking a plant up. Have a lovely evening my friend 😊😊🌵🌵

I really liked the quality of the photos, the background, pots and foreground gravel contributing greatly to the overall effect. I think this focus on one genus makes a great presentation. You should try it for other genera! Thanks for putting it together and sharing it with us!

[@ZiggySearchfieldCactus]

Glad you like the ensemble Terry 😊 Kinda missed it this year for the Parodias, most of the flowering pics are stuck on my old laptop. Might be able to an Opuntia one but most of those are in the ground so won't be quite the same. Ta for having a look 😊😊🌵🌵

They're like Opuntias but smaller, without glochids and not so flat padded 😁🌵🌵

Very comprehensive and a clever way of displaying them!🌵🌵🌵Most (not all) are exceedingly spiky😮 You do seem to have a large collection.😀

Ta Diana 😊Some you can stroke, some will have your cardigan off 😮🌵🌵

Thank you for a very useful video! Some years ago, I picked up a cactus fruit that had fallen on the floor near a cactus display at a big box store. The seed germinated and it has grown into a large, multi headed monster mammillaria. It is crowned with lovely cream colored flowers. I keep trying to identify the species to no avail. Maybe it’s a hybrid but I just love it!

[@ZiggySearchfieldCactus]

Thank you Kathleen 🙂 That sounds good, has it got hooked spines? 🙂 Thanks for having a look 🙂🙂🌵🌵

[@kathleenebsen2659]

@@ZiggySearchfieldCactus no hooked spines

[@ZiggySearchfieldCactus]

@@kathleenebsen2659 That counts bocasana and spinossisima out then 😬

Can someone help me? My little mammillaria is turning a light green/Yellow at the bottom. I just don't know how much to water him or how many times? I got fertilizer recently but I'm just lost when people say to water when soil is dry or 2 inches is dry. I need clear guidelines. I don't want him to die! He has been potted with my beloved fish and he cannot die a second time.

[@ZiggySearchfieldCactus]

Welcome to the channel 🙂 Firstly, don't panic. Dig it up and take the soil off the roots, check for meallybugs, orrible white things. Then re pot it into some fresh soil based compost with plenty of grit. If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, don't water again till about March, then only once a week. If the soil is still wet from the last watering then don't water for another week. More cacti die from over watering than under. They only need a feed once a month in the spring and summer. Keep it somewhere cool but frost free over winter. Hope that helps 🙂🙂🌵🌵

[@PhilCollectibles]

Hello I was wondering if some cacti seeds are brown, when I collected the seeds from my Mammillaria, the fruit was ripe and came right off, there were about 30+ seeds. Mammillaria Densispina. The seeds are not squishy, what’s your opinion? My question again is, do some cacti produce brown seeds?

[@ziggyscoastandcountryside3773]

Hi Phil 🙂 Yes, seeds fresh out of the pods are a light brown and as they dry out they get darker. Best to sow them sooner rather than later for the best germination. Thanks for having a look 🙂🙂🌵🌵

[@daliataurinskaite4956]

Hello! Thank You for Yours videos. Unfortunately, I have noticed same misidentifications. M. carmenae's white spines will have the same form as f. rubrispina. M. decipiens is M. painteri f. monstrosa. M. flavicentra is M. pringlei. The real M. senilis has densy white spines and big red flowers on the top, not a crown of little flowers. M. toumeya is not a real species, but a hybrid of Mammillaria and Echinocereus. Good luck!

[@ConnerLeyva]

no mammillaria pilcayensis?

[@ZiggySearchfieldCactus]

No, I haven't got one of those I'm afraid 😕 Thanks for having a look though 🙂🙂🌵🌵
