I started from cactus and succulents and migrated to aroids. Aroids grows a leaf in 1 to 3 months depending the plant, while cactus, lithops and haworthias are super slow, and you can hardly see changes in a month. So aroids gives you a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when you see constant growth
@onlyplantsАй бұрын
Nice! I actually want to slow down a bit. My aroids are growing so fast and big I had to cut them back and start over

Finally a video about Cacti and succulents! Thank you for this. I really enjoyed the video. Please make more content like this. 🫶🏻 Astrophytum is my favourite genus, there’s so much cultivar, forms, shapes, and other phenotypes to choose. I also love breeding them, there’s so much possibilities.

Last summer my little son picked two tiny cacti from a shop in the Netherlands, where we spent the holidays. He insisted taking these two prickly guys, so they had to come back to Germany with us. In one of the pots was a different small plant on the side, which I later found out was a Haworthia truncata. I don’t know what happened, but within one year our flat changed completely and there’s no room left that hasn’t got way too many plants in it. I have my aroids mostly but I also enjoy looking after my son’s cacti and succulents, and recently we’ve ordered seeds and are now growing Astrophytum v type (actually all of the seeds germinated within one week!), a mix of lithops (maybe half of them have germinated by now) and Melocactus. No idea where to put them when they get bigger, but already contemplating buying more seeds…. and as the gentleman in the episode just pointed out, cacti don’t need much space - thank you so much for that excuse😂! That was another awesome video, Sean, they keep getting better and better! And I do love your curiosity and how you explore new species and varieties. The addition of your videos makes my plant journey so much more enjoyable and rewarding, I am so grateful for your efforts and I truly hope it will pay off so well that you can keep doing what you do forever ❤

@@onlyplants Yes, I love that, too. Although I think his fascination is more about their defense mechanism and I keep crossing my fingers he won’t use them to throw at his bigger sister one day😂. Also, I imagine how big and beautiful they will be once he gets his first flat, it will be so cool to have such impressive plants already. A memory that keeps growing, I love that thought.
@maika2964Ай бұрын
@@onlyplants It‘s such a thrill! They look so… weird! I wonder how the shape will change with time, they don’t look very much like cacti yet. The Astrophytum seem to start off slightly taller than wide, nothing like the shape they should become, the lithops look like very fleshy plants with two opposing sides that look like developing leaves, but will probably become the „bottocks“, the Melocactus look like adorable little beads, so cute! They’re the ones that look most like a cactus. And it’s been only 2 weeks since we planted all of them.

Cacti are not easy to grow, at least it depends on where you live. They require a lot of sunshine, dry weather, some can't stand below zero temp, some need very cold temp to develop properly and bloom. Definitely you need a proper place, like a greenhouse, where they are repaired by the rain, so you can water them only when needed, an extremely well ventilated place to remove the excess humidity, and it must be heated during the winter if you live in a cold climate area. And most of them are non suitable for indoor growing as they require the opposite confy standard than humans.

@LauranceTanza it's over generalized, a little misleading and sometimes border line not true. I've been selling plants for over 10 years. I can spot the little tricks of the tongue. You say things in a certain way to make the customers feel like they understand completely how to care for the plant to make the sale.
@jimmyna5644Ай бұрын
@LauranceTanza I was expecting to watch an informational video about the vendors in countries where the plant culture is a little different than the US. Not a sales pitch. And I also wonder if he has any connection to Palm Street. He did the ad read and it's not even his channel?? 🤔🤔
@merrybot101Ай бұрын
I do think he's kind of selling the idea of cacti/succulents to people but he does disclose his affiliation with Next World Exotics, which is a popular seller on the sponsor app. His brother is the owner of NWE. He could have been more clear about it because not everybody knows that but the whole video is sponsored anyway so you should kind of expect the video to be a sales pitch.
@merrybot101Ай бұрын
Actually, there's even a part where they play an NWE live on Palm Street during the ad read so it's not exactly hard to tell his relation to the app unless you're not paying attention.
@pauless76Ай бұрын
ok, this guy seems to know his "business" but saying constantly "very valuable", "more desiderable", "interesting", "if you're looking for the next trend" and so on makes me think that this is not about passion but it's just about an obsession or, worse, an addiction that has nothing to do with a real passion that a botanist may have. It's sad to see people using plants just as collectable pieces, when gardening should be a natural continuum with our soul. People should buy a plant because they like it, they like its colours, its flowers, the shape or something. It means that there is something that talks/connects to their soul. When you buy a plant just because is rare or because is the next best thing, then it's not a plant anymore, it's just an object and I don't like it. I don't like to hear it, don't like to see it, don't like to share my time with these people. Sorry to say, you are a very nice guy and your videos are always well made. You also have a nice pronunciation for the latin names of the plants but the contents of your videos are always focus on rare, valuable and so on...I'd like to see more passion and less materialist life.
