They look real nice in their own pots and the terra cotta is so pretty with them! It's hard to believe they were all in one pot!

[@EverythingPlants]

Ya, they were pretty snug in there.

Fantastic video and really beautiful and healthy looking Trichocereus hybrids that you are repotting, Jeff! 🥰🌵🌺And THANK YOU so much for the shout out and kind words about my channel, truly appreciated!!! Thanks for sharing and hope you have a great weekend! Happy growing!! 👍💚😊🌵🪴🌵🌸🏵🌺

[@EverythingPlants]

Oh hey, Joe! Thanks for watching!

[@josiemojica3674]

I love repotting my cactus. It’s always a mission especially big beefy ones. I use old pair of jeans where tongs won’t work.

[@Enn-]

They look great! You might find it helpful cut the top off of a large vitamin bottle, or some other plastic container. Cut at an angle so you can easily scoop soil, and have better control filling a pot around a plant with it. It's free, and reuses the plastic container, which makes it much better than spending money on a specialty cup for scooping soil.

Love that shirt! 💚✊️😎

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks! It's from Tropics Narcotics store online!

[@sdouglas9003]

Good job - they are so cute! At your recommendation, I’ve been using Molly mixtures and absolutely love them. They are good quality and very convenient for those of us with limited plant supply storage. Thoroughly enjoy all your videos!

[@EverythingPlants]

Oh nice and I wouldn't say they are insanely priced either....I've bought a few bags so far hahaha

[@kimberlyskinner8177]

Adorable cacti family 🥰. Thank you for the video 🤩😍.

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks for watching, Kim!

[@lynnshirley]

it's so relaxing watching you work. They look so much better in their own pots.

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks Lynn....they were definitely needing a new pot.

[@JoannaLouise200]

Fab repotting video Jeff! I had no idea Saskatchewan has native cacti...must be amazing seeing them in their natural habitat. The columnar cacti are fascinating, and the blooms on the Trichos are so dramatic with their size & intense colours. Looking forward to the individual placement trial for these three to see how they fare :)

[@EverythingPlants]

Cactus and prairie crocuses are a spring treat in Saskatchewan! Thanks for watching and I can't wait until these ones bloom

[@jillianleblanc9370]

Thanks you for sharing lovely houseplants beautiful collection

[@EverythingPlants]

Most welcome 😊

I live in B.C. I love watching your videos!

[@EverythingPlants]

Oh sweet! Thanks for watching

[@LadyVonCracker]

Love that shirt 🤣❤️

[@lisaanglim9588]

Very interesting video, Jeff.

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks!

[@ellabotha5505]

Great video, a trick I use to get rid of the fine thorns is a little bit of warm wax, wait for it to cool down and pull it off...works very well

[@MarisaAndChew]

My grandma who caused my cacti trauma had one bigger than me as a kid... Anyway, when it would attack her she would get out the sharp stiff spines then she would use packing tape over the area to pull out any of the hairs!

[@EverythingPlants]

That is such a great method and you are now the second person to mention this lol

[@bigtomatoplantslover6205]

Wow Lovely Plants ~ Thank you for good sharing 😊 LIKE 28 My friend, have a good relationship 😊

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks!

[@planttherapy1860]

Lol, spicy pickles 😅 I want that blue cactus, and I have no idea what it's called! I think I will after it warms up and keep it on my deck.

[@MsMak12356]

I clean my spiny succulents with small to medium watercolor or acrylic paint brushes.

[@EverythingPlants]

Great idea!

[@MsJaggy]

Thank you for the tip about soaking the terracotta pot before planting. I've never heard about that method and I've been into my cacti hobby for a year now. I'll definitely be doing that from here on out. :)

[@MarisaAndChew]

"you know I love pencils" Pictures you getting all excited for back to school to go by plant products at a good price 🤣

[@nicoledraper5780]

😆🥰

[@EverythingPlants]

They are from my kids school supply packs hahahaha

[@glorianayeagley9258]

Very informative video 📹 👍, you inspire me to be a better plant parent got me using pencils...they work lol

[@carolstuff]

Nicely done Jeff! Looking fwd to updates on the lighting differences.

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks Carol!

[@lgarden7086]

If you get one of those invisible thorns stuck in your skin… try masking tape to remove it

[@EverythingPlants]

Oh ya.....that would work sweet! Thanks for the tip!

[@kbm4409]

Jeff I love watching you work your magic. Is terra cotta best for 🌵? If I purchase one in a 4 inch nursery pot would I need to repot in a 4 inch terra cotta or upsize because spring is right here? Also, does the terra cotta pot need more than the one hole or will the one drainage hole be ok?

[@EverythingPlants]

Hello! Only upsize the pot if it needs it. I love terracotta, especially for larger pots, because they allow the soil moisture to draw out much faster than compared to a plastic pot.

[@DaisyBorrero-ps4xh]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@kathyvettraino2267]

Hey! First! 🎉happy Saturday, hi Jeff!

[@EverythingPlants]

Hey Kathy!

[@SteveNoblin]

A lot of that fluffy stuff could be styrofoam that a lot of soil bags have. It fooled me! 😀

[@EverythingPlants]

Yes! I've had this too

[@rhodealexandre6583]

Congrats on the new Beefs. They look great. I have been into cacti lately

[@janetprchal524]

Thank you for the video on prickly pickles, I know this question is off topic but I repotted my jade plant, scraped off some on the old dirt & new soil was 1/2 potting soil & 1/2 succulent product, now my jades leaves are wilting 😢, should I repot it again with only succulent product? Thank you for any replies

[@e.p.3019]

Glochids are pretty much why I stopped getting opuntia 😬 I found duct tape to be a good method to get them out, though! Also, if you ever feel like it, I think a video about root mealybugs would be very helpful. There isn't that much information about them out there and many people don't even know they exist, let alone how difficult they can be to get rid of (wish that were me).

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks for the duct tape tip!

[@PruAlexis]

Exactly what type of cactus is this and is it good to grow indoors?

[@MissLordi2912009]

That shirt 😍👌

I know, right?!?! Here is the site where I got it from. tropicsnarcotics.com/

@@EverythingPlantsAwesome, thanks!!

[@mustangk99]

Loving your videos! I recently transplanted my haworthia (zebra plant) from a plastic container to a terra cotta and it has declined. It seems to dry out so quickly I have to water about every other day. I didn't realize this at first. Surprisingly this plant was in a plastic dish with no drainage holes (part of those cute diy's of succulent platters I did years ago) for 6 years and it has thrived. I recently put it in terra cotta pot a couple of months ago and now the tips are dry and they're starting to curl :( . Terra cotta just doesn't seem to be working well for me so now I'm afraid to put anything in them.

[@Nat-cj4ff]

I bought my first cacti last year and all the info online said do not water in winter. I know they store water but I was still afraid they would die if I gave them no water at all. I gave them a bit of water, not very often and they’re fine and growing. Do you water yours in winter? I had no idea we have native cacti in Canada. This video is very helpful. Thanks Jeff.

[@lironalterovich5556]

Mine never bloomed. Maybe needs direct light?

[@kimgomez8099]

Jeff just started the video but where did you get the T-shirt?

[@kimgomez8099]

I love terra-cotta, great ASMR listening to them suck up water.

[@EverythingPlants]

Hello! Thanks for watching and I got the shirt from Tropics Narcotics tropicsnarcotics.com/

@@EverythingPlants THANK YOU!!!

[@user-ne3ps1ps4p]

just repotted 7 new super dry cactus in terracotta pots , gave them a bit of water in succulent soil with extra perlite..hope the watering part is ok ?

[@EverythingPlants]

Oh ya....I'm sure you are fine. I've watered after reporting. No issues

[@user-ne3ps1ps4p]

@@EverythingPlants soil dried up pretty fast, gonna wait a week then a better water , thanks

[@justjessica7744]

Can cacti be left outside then? I’m in Oklahoma.

[@EverythingPlants]

I take mine outside when the night time temps are consistently above 10 Celsius (50 Fahrenheit) and I'll place them in full shade....slowly acclimate them to higher light

[@justjessica7744]

@@EverythingPlants thank you! Do you follow this rule with all of your succulents?

[@Tony.795]

A spot outside during summer and a cool spot in winter is almost a prerequisite for many cacti and other succulents if you want healthy, compact growth over many years. You'd need a very sunny windowsill if you want to keep them inside all year.

[@krisfarnsworth620]

“Those are the worst”… those hairlike spines are called “glochids” I think.

[@EverythingPlants]

Ya, they are brutal.....I never knew the name of them, so thanks!
