Thousands of GORGEOUS Cactii Succulents Explored in Great Details! Rare Trendy Mutated Variegated!

[@atejackie]

Yay!!! Finally you have episode for cacti after long time watching your channel 😅❤

[@onlyplants]

Yayeeee I had a great time making this episode, didnt know how fascinating cacti can be!

[@theplantprinceph]

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.

[@onlyplants]

I just bought some astrophytum seeds lol. I cant wait to start my journey

[@ceciliaarchibold8187]

I love the video ! Because I’m a cactus and succulent collector.. the guy know what he’s talking about

[@onlyplants]

Thank you ❤️

[@plantwithroos]

I love that he knows aroids too so he compares and explains things in a way that us aroid lovers understand! Very cool video, I just visited a cactus grower yesterday and bought several for my small (but growing) collection 🎉❤

[@onlyplants]

Yessss, he unlocked my cactus game lol. Im now on the prowl for them

[@brocktoon8]

Thanks Sean

[@onlyplants]

Yes I feel that way too

[@annaswann6892]

Another interesting and informative video, thank you Sean! I always enjoy your content ☺️

[@onlyplants]

Thank you ❤️ I learnt so much myself

[@maika2964]

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]

Wow I thoroughly enjoyed reading this! Its so cool that botanical interest connect you and your son. This is wonderful!

[@onlyplants]

Also I might give seeds a try too! It sounds marvelous seeing little babies pop out of them

[@maika2964]

@@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.

[@maika2964]

@@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.

[@JaxNoodle]

I am in the camp of folks growing cacti and succulent in addition to tropical because the winters in my part of the U.S experiences a very dry winter and spring. I also do appreciate the structural look of cacti and succulents too. I bought a heat mat last winter and did not loose 1 cactus. Bought one for my neighbor who plant sits my green gurls sometimes and hope she has the same success.

[@onlyplants]

Whoaaa do you leave the cactii outdoors on heatmat or move in indoors? Interesting…

Love love the cacti and succulent video very informative but as we can see that there are lots of uncommon and unique ones that some of us can't get our hands on. Thank you for taking us along.

[@onlyplants]

Thanks for coming with! I have a feeling some of these cactii will be distributed worldwide but it takes time

[@denjah9224]

Excellent Video Sir. I was just looking over my cacti and think I need to add some new ones.

[@Planty-Mandy]

So beautiful. I’ve only ever seen the Gymnocalycium that are grafted on top of another cactus (labelled as Moon Cactus). I’d love to find some on their own.

[@onlyplants]

I have a feeling they wont be so hard to find. You can also buy them seeds, I hear they germinate in 7 days or so

[@wiandryadiwasistio2062]

amazing, amazing! brace yourself for even deeper rabbit hole of the world of succulents! if you may, i’d like to give some shout-outs to some of my notable succulents collector that you may visit and follow: joy’s garden, a great bond, magnifica plants, cactoponi 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@onlyplants]

Is this in Indonesia? Please DM me 😀

[@gusapuy]

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

[@onlyplants]

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

[@phunk8607]

more of this please...

[@onlyplants]

❤️❤️ yes!

Thank u for this great video Yesss Nwe is the best in cactus great quality and rare im there costumer and my gymnos ate out of this world 🌵💚🌵💚 after i was a rare plant collector now im in the cactus fever loooove them and very easy also

[@onlyplants]

Cool! I need to exercise restraint myself as I am just beginning to get obsessed with these

[@Alingmaliit2017]

I just discovered a new plant for me. 😂 i love these cactuses. Now I just have to find where to get them.

Thank you ❤️❤️ I want to try my hand at some of them haworthias!

[@1101naomi]

What’s needed for them if grown indoors? Mine always etiolate even if I give them a grow light

[@onlyplants]

I might increase intensity of growlight, or move the light source closer to the plant

[@fathulhudasufnawan1635]

could you make documentary or vlog especially for Aloe Hybrid, i think its very beautiful plant

[@onlyplants]

I will if I ever come across an aloe expert. Ive seen some beautiful aloes in my travels

Great timing, just gained some real estate in my ravaged aloe pot. I put it outdoors for funsies...Any video on interplanting application?

[@Honey-yg2cl]

Do they able to ship internationally? Thinking want to take vacation to Thailand later😅

[@onlyplants]

A lot of the booths process export phytos. But the question is whether your country allows imports. There may be paperwork needed on your end.

[@Honey-yg2cl]

@@onlyplants that’s great to hear, i’m from Indonesia. I think I need to do some research for that! Thanks for the info

This is my addiction nowadays. Trust me getting one of those variegated gymnocalycium will turn into a wall of racks with hundreds of them 😂

[@onlyplants]

🫣🫣 I mighr start getting some lol. But they are so expensive in Indonesia, need to figure out how to get from Thailand.

[@shermich90]

@@onlyplants I started by collecting those ones that are just variegated with no name cultivars. It's pretty affordable now in the Philippines. I think during the peak of the pandemic it was expensive too like $20-30 a piece. But I started by just being curious by a seller that was selling small 6pcs var. Gymnos for like $4 and got addicted. Haha. Lots of breeders and Thai importers in the Philippines too.

[@1marcelo]

🔥❤

[@sparrowilan7418]

Please who sells worldwide?! Not just america

[@onlyplants]

A lot of Thai sellers will ship worldwide if you have the import permits for your country 😀 i recommend to give Bangkok a visit. Some of these booths have notice that they can process pyhto

[@monicabello1962]

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.

[@SandiesOrchids]

What about monkey tail cactus?

[@onlyplants]

I actually love this one! They are quite common plants now. Im struggling to grow mine back from rot

[@SandiesOrchids]

@@onlyplants I have some rot but I haven't lost it all yet!

[@LauranceTanza]

Looks like cacti keepers are not plant snobs unlike aroid keepers.

[@onlyplants]

There are communities of snobs too 😅 but I actually think that generally plant people are far more sharing and kind (this is because I came from fashion industry 😝)

[@dozydog9874]

I wonder how many people kill succulents and cacti through misinformation...bugs are a huge problem too.

I think Thai people should be selling plants in Thailand, I cannot help thinking this is neo colonialism, same with americans growing ganja in thailand instead of Thai people. My 2 cent opinion.

[@onlyplants]

Im a little confused with this 😅 the growers are Thai people and their customers are international, with a significant portion of them local.

[@pauless76]

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.

[@onlyplants]

Hello, most of my videos focus on common plants. If you scroll down the episode list you may be able to see that 😀 This also includes my latest episode on my desertscaping. I also tour lots of common plant stores and nurseries ❤️

[@1101naomi]

Monstrose is like a cancer cell gone wild. Lol

[@onlyplants]

[@jimmyna5644]

Great video. Butttttt. Probably unpopular opinion. Something is off with that guy. Or maybe I'm just seeing through his really great salesman act lol

[@LauranceTanza]

Nice guy and gives really detailed info. Nothing wrong with him.

[@jimmyna5644]

@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.

[@jimmyna5644]

@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?? 🤔🤔

[@merrybot101]

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.

[@merrybot101]

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.

[@ErikAndrew-q2p]

By the way, for propagating Haworthia, I can’t believe that, before anything else, Brett said pollinating and leaf cuttings… the hardest ways! 😂 I thought everyone knew Haworthia grow pups like crazy. Even for a "slow" growing succulent, they form mounds and colonies in time, surrounded by babies. Often the potted Haworthia will have babies underground, connected to a rhizome, waiting to emerge. Depending on the variety. Some are definitely slower and sensitive, but many are very prolific. Nearly all Haworthias produce dozens of babies! 😆Andthat’s one of the benefits of the genus. They’re related to _Aloe_ and _Gasteria_ and have intergeneric hybrids, like _Haworthaloe_ and _Gasteraloe_

[@onlyplants]

Oooh I love this. Thought their flower looked similar to Aloe 🤤
