Transplanting Christmas Cactus from Soil to Hydroponics

[@andicacciatore9279]

Wow! I have so many succulents that I want to transfer into hydro and this video along with the one on Aloe Vera plants have answered so many of my questions - thank you!

[@jamieb7342]

Very informative video. I'm going to transfer my struggling Christmas cactuses too. Thank you! I will buy the KLN Dyna Grow. Lots of good tips with using a heating mat and drying them out between watering.

@Colt Aarav i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@louisernesto5886]

@Colt Aarav it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my account!

[@coltaarav5416]

@Louis Ernesto You are welcome =)

[@dianeswilliams3168]

Thank you for this. Your products and videos are so helpful!

[@sylvialarson1506]

I just potted my Thanksgiving cactus using this system. When do you start using the nutrients? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise.

[@zulmabontiffe487]

Where do you get the pebbles??PEBBLES??? I HAVE YET TO SEE THEM IN THE GARDEN CENTERS. JUST SUBSCRIBED. GREAT INFO.

[@stephanierozelle4140]

Thanks! I just re-potted my Christmas Cactus after viewing this!

[@hugohuysmans9666]

I started putting nail polish on.

2:20 - I skipped the vid to this point and thought 💭 nah those nails are too well done for a male getting mucky with plants 😂

[@emmaleechase613]

New subscriber. This is fascinating content. TY!

[@stitISH]

are you wearing nail polish?

[@kellyduguay3368]

Never thought to do this with a Schlumbergera! I'm going to try it with one of my strugglers! Thanks

[@cynthiahorne6331]

AWESOME NEVER SEEN WITH JUST PEBBLES❤😂

[@riazhosseini563]

Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏🙏

[@pimpette95]

Your videos are so helpful! Can Opuntia, Haworthia, or other cactuses live in leca too? Can’t seem to find it anywhere!

[@worldgonemad1977]

Don’t know about Opuntia but I have 3 Haworthia Zebrina, Ric Rac cactus in Leca which are growing great

[@deek2385]

Will new roots grow if a branch/limb has broken off of the main plant and you plant it in leca?

[@stacimclean8666]

Great video! At the end, you mentioned you having a video of how to propagate Christmas cactus cuttings. Do you have a link for that? I can't seem to find it. Thanks!

[@lvon1950]

I’m looking for those videos also. Can’t find them

[@MuMu-fu7qe]

I prefer soil but I have a question. When repotting, can I rinse the root ball in the faucet to get rid of the old soil that's stuck to the roots (and not kill my cactus in the process lol)?

[@nm2795]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@gamelover29]

I’m having a hard time getting the dirt off mine. Any suggestions would be great.

[@worldgonemad1977]

I strongly disagree with allowing the Leca to dry out. Since only the roots are in contact with the nutrient solution, if you let the solution evaporate, the roots will die

[@topledfactorystoreebay3883]

are you still active on youtube?

[@debkleinschmidt6765]

I would love to get these pots in Canada. Why won’t you ship to Canada?

[@hugohuysmans9666]

strange: from 2:07 the Hydroponics Guy suddenly is wearing nail polish.

[@knitswithdirt]

Cuz its his wife. Not rocket science.

[@hugohuysmans9666]

@@knitswithdirt So he became the Hydroponics Lady. Wonderful!

[@jennylangfield4768]

I like your nail polish

[@frankw9836]

horrible

[@ogdave4799]

Are you interested try led grow light with your plants?

[@broaddeb]

Trying this!!

[@ThePirateWhiteBeard]

Would this work with desert cacti?

[@Bee_Cathy]

How do you mix the KLN solution thank you.

[@thehydroponicsguy2379]

I use 2-3 TBLS per gallon of water - which is slightly more than the package says. I have evn used it a full strength on cuttings. Tip: save the KLN used for soaking pebbles and use it to water new transplants. Mature plants like a KLN Solution every couple of months too! www.easygrohydro-store.com/dyna-gro-kln-rooting-concentrate-8oz/

[@sansevieriamd6221]

Have you tried pumice as media?

[@thehydroponicsguy2379]

sorry for the delay! I have tried pumice. It does not have capillary properties - the engine that makes our system work. We rely on the media to "wick" the nutirent solution up to the plants. LECA works best for this.

[@mmbrown82]

Oh goodness... if you saw my christmas cactus... it's a wreck, lol. I'm going to try converting to hydroponics.

[@thehydroponicsguy2379]

ok- good luck. be stingy on the water until see new growth. take plant to sink and run water through the pebbles - and that's it! repeat once every 1-2 weeks. no standing water at the base until you see new growth.

[@kenjiro2676]

They look like a wreck after flowering, it’s natural and the plant should be treated normally. Let the soil dry in between waterings, epiphytes like that.

[@thehydroponicsguy2379]

@@kenjiro2676 I agree.

Very pretty nail polish?!? 😂😅🤣

[@sandraroney3059]

Have you made a video on transplanting from hydro to soil. How to avoid shock to the Christmas cactus

[@pretzeltwisttwist7740]

I had to do a double take on the nail polish? What is happening? 😳

[@andrewrichmond9764]

He cut too much roots off,lol

[@donlussi2424]

This is not a Christmas cactus, it is a THANKSGIVING CACTUS.
