Thanks Daz!!! Great video!!!! How exciting! A brand new hybrid Turbinicarpus!!! That will be cool to see in the future!!! I love making new plants!!! Rare new varieties from our plants!!! Known no where else in the world!!! I feel this way about my Euphorbia enigma. There's only one! I'll be waiting for your sowing video this spring!!!😃👍 From Morris park in the Ozarks to the U.K. & Singapore, have a wonderful Sunday guys!!!! Peace,Love,Plants!!!!✌💖🌵🌷🌴🌺🌲🌻🌸

[@Cactimania]

Thank you so much Clyde. Yeah I’m hoping for some interesting looking hybrids from these, although both plants aren’t too dissimilar from each other. Would be great having a one of a kind plant, hopefully I can do that in the future as well 😊 I’ll be sending you some of these seeds too 👍🏻 Thank you for watching and commenting as always my friend, from Edith & myself to you and Deb, have a wonderful Sunday 🌵☀️🌺🌸🌼🏜

[@desertplantsofavalon]

WOW what a FANTASTIC video Daz :-D absolutely brilliant filming and close up macro and it was so wonderful to see the whole process from the pollination to the seed pod and to the harvesting, I LOVE Turbinicarpus they are really special cacti, those tweezers are perfect for seed picking, and they are really wonderful black shiny seeds, thanks so much for sharing this wonderful video Daz, and Hans and I are sending you and beautiful Edith lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to England and Singapore for a wonderful new week ahead XXXXX

[@Cactimania]

Thank you so much Lyn 😊 Yeah Turbinicarpus are awesome cacti, I must get more haha. I had to get a new tweezer set just for this haha, I don’t like using the other ones I have as they’re pointed and very sharp on the ends, I’ve already accidentally jabbed a few plants with it. Thank you so much again Lyn, from Edith & myself to you and Hans, have a wonderful Monday and new week ❤️🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜

[@edithcoliagrandis]

What a name indeed! 😂 I just looove Turbinicapus! ❤️ Awesome video, Sweetheart. Pollination required concentration and seed harvesting required so much patience. Well done! I enjoyed when you caught that tiny seed pinged away in slow motion. 😂 Now i can’t wait to watch the Haworthia repotting video! ❤️🤗😘🥰😍♾❤️

[@Cactimania]

Haha thank you my love ❤️ Yeah that name always makes me chuckle 😂 was a very fiddly job pollinating and harvesting the seeds from these, I’m surprised I didn’t lose more 😂 Haworthia repotting video will be up on Tuesday 😊 Thank you for all your love, support and encouragement as always babe ❤️🥰🤗😘♾❤️

I can't wait to the Haworthia repotting video, too🙋🏻‍♀️😅😜! But this video was very interesting of course, although I don't have any Turbinicarpus yet 👍. I loved them and I learned a lot. 😊

[@CactaceaeReview]

I dont have these turbinicarpus in my collection yet! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing Daz! 👍🏻

Fiddly, sticky, fiddly, and tricky, BUT! Successful, oh,and a escapee! Lol Well done Daz,hopefully I will see a successful vid On some propagation, Bill.

[@Cactimania]

Haha thank you 😊 Will have some propagation videos coming this year, got a few plants that need de-pupping. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌺🌼🏜

[@CactusCaffeine]

Great success on your pollination as both cacti developed fruits. And what patience you got trying to pick up all of the seeds! Why I don’t have any Tubernicarpus in my collection, I don’t know. It has lovely flowers. 😃 But I voted haworthia. 😠 😉😆 I will be waiting for the next video, then:

[@Cactimania]

Thank you so much Ana 😊 You should definitely get some Turbinicarpus, I think they’ll do very well for you there. This video only won by a single vote so I’ll be uploading the Haworthia video tomorrow (Tuesday). Thank you for watching and commenting as always Ana, from Edith & myself, have a wonderful day and week 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜☕️

[@moodyblooms]

This is so cool to watch Daz. Those tweezers are perfect. I have some seeds I need to remove from my echeveria flowers so this was a great I reminder to do so! I am looking forward to them sprouting as well. I love your storage too!

[@Cactimania]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed 😊 Yeah these curved tweezers were perfect for getting these seeds out, easier than using the pointed ones as I’ve done in the past. Thank you for watching and commenting, have a wonderful day 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜

[@succulentland4045]

Oh wow what a beautiful cactus!! I really need a turbinicarpus now

[@Cactimania]

They’re awesome cactus, and not too difficult to care for, just easy on the watering as they have a very large taproot. Thank you for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌺🌸🌼🏜

[@succulentland4045]

@@Cactimania Also you may agree, gymnocalycium mihanovichii looks so similar to gymnocalycium friedrichii, I was thinking that on your friedrichii video and now I'm not sure which one I have haha

[@Cactimania]

@@succulentland4045 friedrichii is considered an invalid name now, used to indicate the pink flowered form of Gymnocalycium stenopleurum. Mihanovichii is technically the correct one 🌵☀️🌸🌺🌼🏜

[@PurpleandThorns]

Watched this together with my husband while we having our lunch and I just paused eating to comment hahaha. Always excited to watch your video. It was funny when the seed jumped, you’ll have a surprise baby turbinicarpus soon haha. Happy weekend to you and Edith 💚🌵

[@Cactimania]

Haha thank you so much Katherine & Phil 😊 Yeah I tried finding the seeds that escaped, hopefully they’ll germinate in the pot after the first watering in spring. Thank you for watching and commenting as always, from Edith & myself, have a wonderful weekend 🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜

[@cactusandfriends_by_vane]

Fantastic video, Daz!👍 Congratulations for the good amount of seeds you had😃. I have two questions. Please, don't you let the seeds dry and why? And how do you store them until spring, refrigerator or pantry😊? Thank you and wishing a nice Sunday for you and Edith! ☮️🌵💗🌺

[@Cactimania]

Thank you, Vanesa 😊 No need to let the seeds dry from Turbinicarpus, they come out dry so there’s no messy pulp to worry about like you get from Gymnocalycium. I will store them in these containers in a drawer in the dark away from any moisture until springtime. Thank you for watching and commenting, have a wonderful Sunday too, from Edith & myself 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜

[@cactusandfriends_by_vane]

@@Cactimania Oh, I see! Very easy, then. Thank you!👍😘

[@CactusCove]

Pollination success... Lots of seeds! Will you be sowing any seeds over the Autumn and Winter? (as you have grow lights and heated Propagator) or is it you just prefer to do seed sowing from Spring 😁🌵👍🏻👌🏻Great video and the seeds are tricky to pluck from those Turbinicarpus... they look innocent little Cactus but they don't make it easy to get the seeds 🤣

[@Cactimania]

Thank you so much Claire 😊 I’ll probably sow them next spring, even though I have the grow lights and propagator I’m a little tight on space now, and I’ve got another unboxing coming next week 😂 Yeah these seeds were very fiddly and all wanted to escape haha. Thank you for watching and commenting, from Edith & myself, have a wonderful evening 🌵☀️🌼🌸🌺🏜

[@CactusCove]

@@Cactimania 😆 Another Unboxing 😂 I have an unboxing video coming up shortly too, waited a while to receive parcel so only got the plants a few days ago, but as Lyn always says, there's room for one more, or a few more! 😊 Have a good evening 🌃🌵

[@nguyenpham-uh1qu]

wonderful video, thank you for sharing with us❤️❤️🙏, what kind of label machine do u use?

[@Cactimania]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed. The label maker I use is one by Brother. Thank you for watching and commenting ☀️🌵🌸🌺🌼🏜

[@yaddahaysmarmalite4059]

perhaps try using a dental excavator to lift the seeds out.

[@Cactimania]

Yep, that would work. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌺🏜

[@andersnrregren9087]

I allso found 2 tiny tubinicapus unnamed it just says tubinicapus, there is a feeling to a cactus and this one feel like it grows slow

[@Cactimania]

Yeah Turbinicarpus are pretty slow growers. Some are naturally small species, though. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌺🌼

Hello What is the soil mix Please? Thanks For Sharing.

[@Cactimania]

For most of my plants I use a loam based compost, horticultural grit, lava rock and pumice, all in equal parts. Thank you for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌼🌺🏜

[@robertomaldini72]

Hi, my cactus echinopsis subdenudata has a yellowish brownish bottom, and this bottom is only under the soil . Is that normal? And it should be hard the texture of that bottom? And can it be saved. And if it is flowerin, that means there is nothing to worry about?

[@Cactimania]

A lot of cactus will turn brown/barky around their base, as long as it isn’t squishy there’s nothing to worry about, I have a large subdenudata that has had this brown discolouration around the base and underneath for a long time, and if it’s flowering it’s happy, nothing to worry about. Thanks for watching and commenting 🌵☀️🌸🌺🌼🏜

@@Cactimania it is not totally hard no? Its a little bit squishy in normal yeah?
