thank you for not making long. do you have an update?

Are you growing it for eating the leaves or fruit?

Thank you so much for making it short and sweet and to the point. I can't stand when tutorial videos are 75% peopel just bumpin their gums' 🙂

Hello. I got a top of a cactus (san pedro) that was about to die. It was very soft due to overwatering. So i cut about 25 cm of the hardest part of it but its still soft. some liquid is starting to come out of it. I would really like to save it. When should i pot it?

Hi … I was given a cutting of Christmas cactus last night …two long stems. I stuck them into potted dirt immediately ….and now…after watching your video….realize I should have let the en scab over. Is it too late …or can I re-cut and start over? Thanks much.

Good information without a lot of useless talk.

Very quick and helpful! Thanks!

Did you say only sand ? So then you grew yours on ONLy on sand?

Have you done a update on this cactus planting? I am interested to see how it's doing.

thats the kind of cactus that gives prickly pear right?

Simple and straight forward, Thanks. I would be interested to know how you did your edging. Contractors want to many of my dollars for extruded concrete edging….looks like you did your own as I don't see any cut expansion joints. I have designs on doing such a DIY edging but can't find the DIY tools on the net.

What kind of soil? I live in Las Vegas

Oh I got a lot yesterday from a neighbor and I immediately took them home and set them in some water. They sat in some water overnight, is that bad?

It's going to rot isn't it. Should I start over?

I live in Portland,OR and tried this but I watered mine at the end. My dad said I did it wrong will it die?

Any cactus???

Thanks, that is a really nice comment, I appreciate it. More videos to come soon.
