This is Part 1 of my 2023 visit to Brent Wigand’s nursery. Watch out for part 2 coming out soon! 😊☕️🌵 Brent’s nursery is open to public by appointment only.

[@michellelottner4551]

I was at Brents place 2 weeks ago and came home to AZ with about $200 worth of amazing cactus. I reached out to him after seeing one of your videos. I cannot wait to go back in the fall!

[@CactusCaffeine]

@@michellelottner4551 oh wow, that is awesome that you were able to go see him. It is worth the trip! ☺️

[@michellelottner4551]

thanks to you!! @@CactusCaffeine

[@RayRay-zc2ed]

Just got back from Brent’s house, about 30 minutes ago. I picked up 6 of his cactuses. I can’t wait until they bloom! Brent was very friendly and showed me his cactuses and answered all my questions. He even answered my questions about the two cactuses I already own. It was definitely worth the drive out there, even in this ridiculous California crowded traffic. It is unbelievable the traffic here, even on the weekends. Ana thanks for letting me know about Brent’s plants and thank you Brent for your cactus and your low prices and your knowledge of cactus.

[@CactusCaffeine]

Wow, that is really cool! I’m glad you were able to visit him and see his nursery yourself. He has so much beautiful plants. It is hard to choose. Brent’s passion for his plants is very contagious. ☺️

[@desertplantsofavalon]

WOWSERS Ana, what an AWESOME video and Tour and it must have been so wonderful to visit Brent and see his amazing Cactus Nursery, what a total dream to visit and see all of Brent's amazing Trichocereus and Echinopsis stunners, and WOW with all of the Tricho Superblooms, so many awesome cacti for sale too, I want to buy them all haha, the red plastic pots are fantastic, I bought a lot of the smaller red ones in our bargain stores during lockdown too, thanks so much for sharing part one of your amazing visit to Brent's Nursery with us Ana and we are so looking forward to watching Part Two, Hans and I are sending you lots of love and happiness and CAFFEINE and PLANT POWER to Las Vegas for a fantastic Thursday XXXX

[@CactusCaffeine]

Oh, how I want you and Hans to meet Brent. I’m sure with all 3 of you so passionate about the hobby, you can spend a whole day just chatting about cactus. ☺️

[@jillianleblanc9370]

Good morning to you vary nice Cactus all Bloomin beautiful flowers lovely pink and red all amazing thank you for sharing

[@Cactimania]

Awesome video, Ana 😃 Good to see you back at Brent’s nursery again. Amazing plants and the blooms are stunning. Looking forward to part 2. Thank you for sharing with us as always. Have a wonderful day from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜☕️

[@CactusCaffeine]

Thanks so much! 😊 Working on Part 2 and 3. 😉

[@flowerszoneforever]

Thanks for sharing with us this amazing video Ana! Amazing Cactus flowers! Im enjoyed to much the video! I wish you all the best!

[@CactusCaffeine]

Thank you! You too!

[@boytube7174]

आपके सभी वीडियो अच्छे लगते हैं और पसंद आते हैं और जानकारी से कुछ ना कुछ सीखने को जरूर मिलता है जो भी जानकारी आप साझा करती हैं जिस तरह आप डिटेल करती हैं और जानकारी को पूरी तरह बताती हूं हम उससे कुछ सीखते हैं और कैटरर्स को बचाने का प्रयास उसी तरह करते हैं

[@CactusCaffeine]

Thank you for watching my videos. I’m happy that you learn from them. I am learning too as I make these videos. 😉

[@chickenfoot713]

Awesome video, beautiful flowers too!!!

[@cactusjoe]

Wonderful video and fantastic cactus nursery, Ana! Thanks for sharing and wishing you a very nice weekend ahead!

[@CactusCaffeine]

Many thanks Joe!

[@josephjude1290]

Great channel and commentary

[@CactusCaffeine]

Thank you ☺️

[@screaminpman]

Incredible blooms 😍 Thanks for sharing, Ana! I loved hearing his growing tips. Especially about not letting them dry out too much, because it’s hard to rehydrate them. I learned that the hard way. The roots withered away, so I had to regrow the roots before my cacti started looking good again.

[@CactusCaffeine]

Same here! It is so difficult to regrow roots and get the cactus back in tip top shape. Wish we knew this from the start. 😉

[@JRvillablancademendoza]

Wow thanks for taking time to make this video! Im going to make a trip to his nursery! My trichocerus cacti are the ones that have weathered the 2023 Vegas heatwave the best (even better than my opuntia and Peruvian torch) so I’m getting more of them with the beautiful flowers!! 🫶🫰

[@CactusCaffeine]

Oh you will enjoy visiting his nursery. Brent is so accommodating and very generous in sharing his knowledge. Tell him I said “hi”. 😃

[@heatherstephens9295]

Absolutely stunning ❤❤

[@tonycofran5894]

I have an amazing cactus garden I had started on my patio. Thank you for your tips I welcome any and all help 6:13 6:15

[@carmensantiago6711]

Wow, so beautiful! Thank you very much for the video. Waiting for part two.💚🏜️☕️🥰💋👏👍🌵☕️

[@CactusCaffeine]

Coming soon!

[@rohermiagequillo4008]

Wow ! ! !😲

[@morrisparkintheozarks6831]

Quite a sight !!! All those flowers at once!!! Makes me wish I had a bigger greenhouse!!! I have only one large trichocereus grandiflores hybrid. But it doesn't like to bloom. Even out in the full sunlight. It's been out all summer, but no flowers. Love seeing his plants!!! Thanks for sharing Ana!!! From Morris Park in the Ozarks, have a wonderful weekend ahead!!! Peace, Love, Plants!!!✌️💖🌵🌿🌻🌳🌸🌷🌴🌾💐🌱🌹😃👍

[@CactusCaffeine]

Yes, you need another greenhouse! Your collection is growing bigger. I can’t believe how easy (it seems) for him to make his cacti bloom so profusely. Every cactus I saw was covered with at least half a dozen buds!

[@newmanmansell760]

I enjoyed watching😌🤲💞

[@CactusCaffeine]

I’m glad.

[@Marianalicious89]

HI MR WIGINS ITS ME MARIO VERA

[@user-kc7nn9pi3b]

Planning a trip to Wildomar for pickups 😍 Fell in love with some of his ‘for pickup’ only. I have a flying saucer from a friends whose grew humongous and I was blessed with the opportunity to come pick up offsets that fell off

[@CactusCaffeine]

Oh, let me know how your trip turned out. His for pickups are worth it. They are mature and has lots of pups around it.

[@user-kc7nn9pi3b]

Only watched the intro and 😍😍🤤

[@Fabdanc]

I love a trichocereus! My mouth is watering...

[@CactusCaffeine]

Same here! 🥰

[@michaelrabourn1966]

Thank you so much! I love your videos on visiting cactus and succulent nurseries.

[@CactusCaffeine]

Glad you like them!

[@solarwinds-]

😍I want one.😍

[@Matraka2000]

This guy really share his info. Great.

[@melp9884]

Very nice video Ana been looking forward for you to do another visit to Brent, lovely to watch these tours. Should do another one at Cactus Joe's too :) always nice to see. Thanks for sharing!

[@CactusCaffeine]

Haha! Yes, Cactus Joe is another great guy worth going back to.

[@thebadger9302]

I met him last night when he gave a talk at the monthly ESA meeting at the LA Arboretum 😊

[@solarwinds-]

Oh heck, who am I kidding? I don't want one, I WANT THEM ALL.

[@CactusCaffeine]

🤣

[@nmj3735]

So beautiful....😮😮

[@niralpatel0911]

Ohhh wowww!!! The flying saucer and Trichocerus Epic, Trichocerus orange Peach looks 😍😍😍👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻. I wish it is available even here in India. 🤞🏻

[@Naktya7]

Wish I could visit or buy some. Unfortunately, I'm in Canada and I have limited space for my plants indoor during winter.

[@Tybold63]

Lovely flowers and excellent plants. Wish I lived in US and would've bought a few.🌵🏵

[@michellechapman8738]

I want one!!!!

[@annekrishnaabenojar]

Goosebumps na agad ate anna first 2 seconds palang ng video 😂😂❤️

[@CactusCaffeine]

😇🌸🌺🌼🌵

[@LeafyConversations]

I would be there in a second if I lived close. His website is terrible no way to order from him on it. Thanks Ana love your videos!

[@CactusCaffeine]

Brent’s website only show’s pictures of his plants. He takes orders by email, text or Facebook or Instagram message. I know it would have been great if he can take online orders, maybe in the future. 🙂

[@3l3llala13]

Those cacti's flowers are so amazing. How big/tall does the flying saucer cactus get ? Can you limit its size by growing it in a pot and it doesn't inhibit the size of the flowers ? I'm surprised his website doesn't have an online ordering process other than texting him directly. Mr. TorchCactus, please provide your email on your website :)

[@lidiajimenez2728]

💜💜🌸🌸🌵👍😊

[@cactuscapacity]

You skipped all the good stuff! LOL! jk Great tour! I love them all!

[@CactusCaffeine]

There is a part 2 and 3 coming out soon! 😊

[@kingofscchool]

Is his nursery open to public?

[@CactusCaffeine]

Yes, by appointment only.

[@paulinemiller8957]

I live in New Jersey do you water during the winter and how much would I water?

[@michellechapman8738]

I just sold mine....it hasn't bloomed yet!!

[@GlockmanGG]

Do you have or have you seen a Texas nipple cactus that has little red peppers after it flowers

[@CactusCaffeine]

Yes. Those little red peppers are fruits that are full of seeds. More cactus plants to grow! 😊
