Hi Lyn! That's wonderful! It is amazing what a great difference it made watering these Cacti! Love the Before and After results! Thanks for sharing Lyn! Have a wonderful evening Lyn and Hans! Lots of love and happiness!

Awesome video, Lyn. Love seeing how they look after a good watering, looks like a completely different plant haha. Looking forward to giving mine their first proper watering and feed of the year, which I’ll likely be doing next week. Thank you for sharing with us as always, Lyn. Have a wonderful afternoon and evening from Edith & myself to you and Hans. Happy St. Patrick’s Day ❤️🌵☀️🌼🌸🏜☘️

I'm super excited, and as soon as I saw them , My first thought was.. "Oh I have to tell Lynn!" HA. Your one of the few people I know who will appreciate that bit of info.. ;) HA.. Happpy St. Patrick's Day!..

Sending you and Hans peace, love and joy for a Superb St. Paddy's Day! from your friend in Georgia!

Thanks , Lynn! I just watered mine 3 days ago :-)

Here's a little tip for when you want to water a plant heavily, but don't want water on the floor. Back when I was using tap water for my plants, my local tap water is 325ppm. If I had kept a mature plant in the same pot for several years, the soil became overloaded with minerals, particularly lime. (What English gardeners call chalk.) Eventually, the plant would stop growing because it was getting too hard for it to absorb minerals from the soil. My cure for that was to run about five gallons or more of water through the soil to flush out the excess minerals. Naturally, I didn't want to let the pot stand in water for any length of time, so the idea was to have the water run through the soil and right out of the drainage holes, so, I invented my watering station. I got a two-gallon bucket with a lid. The bakery in the grocery store where I worked got cake icing in these, so they had a lot of them on hand and gave them away free. I took the lid to my drill press and drilled a whole bunch of 3- or 4-mm holes in the center of the lid about a centimeter apart. I then got a five-gallon bucket, also with a lid. I set the five-gallon bucket on the floor and set a small turntable on top of that, then I set my 2-gallon on top of the turntable with its holey lid on. When I wanted to flush out a pot, I would set the plant on top of the lid and begin slowly watering it. As the soil became saturated the water would run out the drainage holes in the pot, through the bucket lid and be caught in the bucket. The turntable allowed me to rotate the pot, so the water didn't always go into the same side of the pot. It was not possible to overwater the plant this way, because the soil can only hold a certain amount of water before any excess drains away immediately. When the bucket was close to full, I flushed it down the toilet. If I had a garden, I would use it to water my garden. Depending on the size of the pot, it might have to empty the bucket three or four times. I used a white bucket and would check my progress by the color of the water. When I started the water would run out the color of a cup of tea, and I would stop when the water was nearly clear. When I was finished, I could clearly see and feel the difference in the soil. It was darker and had a much better texture. The difference it made in the health of the plant was soon visible. Since I stopped using tap water, I don't need to flush out my soil anymore, but I still used the watering station to water many of my plants. particularly plants that want very dry conditions. By the way, the five-gallon bucket does not go empty. I use it to hold my supply of vermiculite.

Love watching your video they are very amazing beautiful have a blessed day

I'm so curious about how people from different locations care for their succulents! Excited to start binge watching your channel 💕much love from California

Fantastic video! Amazing transformation showing the before and after watering. Especially loved the difference on that large basket of Schlumbergera (the true Christmas cactus) which was such a change, fantastic! 😁🌟🌵👌

I've watched you before I just found you again

That is amazing!

Amazing!

Wowww they were so happy about the water!

I just wanted to say great video. I threw one away, I thought it was dead lol. Now I feel bad. But I couldn’t get it to plump up. Now I know!

Woooow! That before and after vid Was amazing, truly, The type of vid we could watch all day,thanks to you both From south of the mainland, bill.

Hi Lyn 👋 You make the most informative videos 😀 You've helped me on any and every topic regarding my plants and there care 😀 I thank you with all my heart for guidance ❤ Mi Slumbies are continuing there improvements thanks to your videos 😀

Great video Lyn, fabulous transformation! Look forward to more from you. 👍😙. On another topic, in your poly tunnell you have a blue sheet on the floor. Is that for keeping bugs out or for insulation? I'm putting up a new greenhouse on slabs and are concerned about worms and slugs getting in!! 😉😉

Awesome video linn I have watered my thanksgiving cactus a few days ago but it still looks shrivelled it had mass's of blooms in early December I'm hoping it will be okay I checked over the roots just to check and they look okay no signs of any pests that I can see I'm hoping it will just take another day or two. Hopefully 🤞

I keep my Schlumbergeras watered all year. Do you keep yours drier because they are in the greenhouse? I keep mine indoors. I don't water my Old Man of the Mountain cactus at all all winter as he is in the greenhouse. Happy St Patrick's Day and Plant Power!☘️ 💚 🌵

I love seeing the difference in them!! Thank you for sharing and Happy St Patrick’s Day to you!! Do you do anything special to celebrate it? My family isn’t Irish, but we do wear green and join in the spirit of the fun with everyone (I live in Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia, on the East Coast of the United States). Thank you for sharing! 💜💚🪴🌵

I miss the old outro already. I always used to wave with you. Lol

Great video! 😍do you still have a crystal collection ? And work with them? Ever use them to place around plants to focus intention and re-energize ?

Can you post me links to your videos that show how to prep Neem oil spray, for pest prevention? I was pretty sure that you had some videos that discussed how to prepare the Neem oil mix spray. I had a few people on a Facebook group that told me I was going to kill all the roots on my succulents and cacti if I used Neem oil. I disagree. I am thinking that they probably didn't dilute it as should be done. Thank you for all your help Lyn! Your a lifesaver! ❤️🌵🌿

Amazing how they plumped up 😮. I have a peculiar situation with my Easter cacti. For years my red one had wrinkled stems. It bloomed year after year but the plant never grew very well and bloomed but not as nicely as the pink one which had nice plump stems. Turns out, this year I have the reverse situation. That is, suddenly the red one is nice and plump and the pink one became wrinkled. I cannot understand what happened 🤣. It is not lack of water and it is not rotting either. A few weeks ago I decided to give the pink one some Calcium and Magnesium but nothing changed. Then I pruned the stems and it seems slightly better. What really puzzles me the most is what happened to the red one to improve after so many years 🤔😜

I've been leaving my schlumbergeras outside day and night recently aha, it's getting quite warm here and they are getting the rain and everything so I haven't needed to water them

انه ذابل جدا عندي هل استطيع ان اجرب ذلك في هذا الشهر اغسطس

Do they prefer sun or shade?

It doesn’t damage the roots to be dried up for so long year after year? Why are you various types of Christmas cactus still blooming in March?
