hello from Italy! Fantastic repot! i see you dont' use earth compot ? just lappillo, pomice ecc??

Love the short spined Ferocactus, that one is on my wish list too! I’ve seen them labelled as F. horridus (now peninsulae?) in the past, as well as F. herrarae as you mentioned. Your guess is as good as mine!

Joe i stumbled upon something on the cactiguide discussion forum. Type in ferrocactus horridus and there is a discussion regarding cacti that look like yours. Never too many plants Tony

Very useful information for my cactus , thankyou

#7: wisilzeni seems correct So does Ferocactus grasilis. It's a beautiful plant to your cactifamilia! -Maria

Love your collection❤️❤️

Hi Joe! What do you think would be the best treatment on flat mites? Have those on my cacti 😢

An incredible video! I really do not know how you could contain yourself from buying more plants (I suppose because you already have many of them. Your collection is amazing). P.S.: My wife agrees with yours, in fact, her comment was: Those sticks are dry, why does not he throw them away? :)

A truly amazing video! I'm very envious of you. Please continue making videos as beautiful as they are educational. Greetings from Spain.

Would you water a water sensitive Cactus like an Astrophytum straight away after bringing it home from a Garden centre nursery. How would you know when it was last watered? Thanks'

Awesome new additions, Joe 😊 Love the strange looking obesa. Could also possibly be symmetrica? Thank you for sharing with us as always. Have a wonderful evening from Edith & myself and happy growing as always 🌵☀️🌺🌼🌸🏜

Hi Joe! I had to go back and watch your Matk nursery tour video a third time because I was not “in” on the idea that you might be buying something there! I feel like I was robbed of the anticipation of wondering what you might have gotten! Now I know why after watching the other video a third time. Matk really did only look like a botanical garden and not a place where plants were for sale. Even after going into that part of the nursery where plants were for sale, the plants looked gigantic and they were still arranged like a garden setting. And you never stopped to pick up any plants while considering buying one. Now that I see your purchases, I am impressed! I have an aloe collection too and I have a lot of my own hybrids I made. After three years, I’m still deciding which ones to keep. I have fewer species aloe, but you might want to consider the mustache aloe in the future if you don’t already have one. Your aloe choices are very nice, but they grow more sideways than up! I love your new Ferocactus! I don’t know which one I like more! I’m jealous! I recently got a Ferocactus fordii that I am looking forward to getting bigger. I love the brown and gray spines that it has. I hope it gets really gnarly. I think I have six Ferocactus now. Oh, and I’m not sure how I feel about taking my wife cactus shopping. On our last outing, she was very supportive and seemed genuinely concerned that I got everything I wanted, but a lot of times I hear similar things like, “who would want to buy a bunch of dried up sticks?” or “ Don’t you already have a cactus just like that?” Thanks for sharing your trip and purchases. I love watching your collection grow and enjoy your enthusiasm for your plants. It rubs off on me! Take care of yourself and your plants!

I loved your video 😊 I wanted to share that I've been able to keep an orange grafted "moon cactus" alive in a sunny windowsill (zone 6) for 4 years! It has actually grown too lol, it was unexpected, but so cool to see.

Oh WOW Joe absolutely GORGEOUS new STUNNERS you have bought from Helmut Matk and yes when we look for the vacant spots in our collections we realise that 'there is always room for one more or ...... a few more' hahahaha :-D BEAUTIFUL new beauties and WOW with the stunning Ferocacti, thanks so much for sharing your AWESOME new plant haul with us Joe, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Bavaria from Hans and me for a super Sunday XXXX <3

Great choices! All beautiful specimens there and I also can’t wait to see the growth and blooms they are sure to show before long. 👏 👏 😍

Fabulous choices 👍👍👍

This was a great haul. I can't wait to see your pile of dried up dead sticks in full bloom!

Hi Joe, enjoyed this very much, of course you got some cacti etc! I like all the cacti you got, and the penny plant, and aloes. Looking behind you I wondered, have you ever counted how many plants you have?! 🌵

Hi Joe. What is the name of the Parodia behind you with an orange flower? I have the same one but can’t find the accurate name for it.

I want to thank you for your videos because of you I you made it a mission for me to find a monkey tail cactus it took me a couple of years but I finally found two at green touch nursery Bellflower California I spotted two of them in a video from cactus quest when he was visiting there. One was more golden color and one that was kinda brown with silver tips is there a name for that different color variation? Maybe you can take a look at them in the video and help me on this. You can see them in the background when they are talking to each other. When I saw them I drove over the next day to see if he would sale them to me. I payed 700.00 for the gold one and 600.00 U.S dollars for the two tone silver one. I never see them in the cactus competition at the cactus shows

Of course..you got a few cacti plants!!!! I went to visit my sister in Mississippi and found an Opuntia in a most unusual place!!! So i pulled it out of the mound and brought a piece home!!

Nice one Joe 🙂 Not sure about those first plants but some lovely Ferocactus there 😁 Good haul my friend 😊😊🌵🌵

Spectacular. I wonder how they control pests especially slugs and snails damaging that private collection.

Hallo Joe, wieder ein phantastisches Video! #8 habe ich auch, ungefähr doppelt so groß. Zur genauen Bezeichnung kann ich leider nicht helfen, den gab es mal vor vielen Jahren für 5€ im Kaufland.

Great video, Joe. I appreciate the difficulty explaining dead stick plants. I went through it with Euphorbia platyclada, and the Euphorbia does not have beautiful flowers. The Feros look like great specimens for sure. Thanks for taking us along with you. Glad to see you posting again.

Love your collection joe i wish i had the knowledge you have sending ❤ from a sunny East Yorkshire UK

Oh if I found one of those stick plants i would be so happy, had to laugh remember my mom would always wonder why i loved plants like that, just loved the plants you bought 🌱

A stunning collection of mature and beautifully curated plants! Imagine the history those plants have 'witnessed' while growing and blooming in that awesome space! Thanks for the tour and inspiration!

My favorite plant from this haul is the last one. I think the correct name is Ferocactus horridus f. brevispinus I could be wrong. This plant always reminded me something like a badass in the movies, I dont know why 😀

A treat to watch! I am Southern California transplant and have been restarting my collection on the East Coast now. Always love seeing new plants which I haven't grown before! New subscriber and will look for your actual tour video. Thanks!

Hallo cactus Joe. And another interesting video.When I am on holiday in Spain and parts of plants are broken off on the ground, I ask if I can take them with me.Most of the time it is not a problem.At the moment I have sown hardy opuntias.They've been growing for two months now.Then I have a few other cacti that were in bloom and I'm trying to grow them from seeds as well.was very annoyed this year in Mallorca when I saw a beautiful, large aloe vera plant on the side of the road. It had simply been thrown away. I tried to save what I could from the plant and gave it a new life. This plant was certainly 15 to 20 years old.Keep up the great videos.

What a great plant haul. I was at my local cactus and succulent society sale yesterday and got a Euphorbia platyclada, is it similar to the Ceropegia that you got?

You got some beautiful plants, Joe. The plant your wife doesn't like, is that the one with the nickname "the death plant"? I do like plants that look different and odd. Yes, it would be great you can show us when it's blooming.🌵❣️😎

Danke für das tolle Video.

Nice plants Joe thanks for sharing

Hi Joe😌🙌I love the new Ferocacti🥰👏especially wislizeni. That E. Obesa is fantastic😌💖The shape is beautiful. I love Ceropegias. They always fascinate me. I enjoyed watching🤲🌟

Nice score on your new plants !! Hey Joe from Alberta

❤❤❤ I always love seeing your beautiful greenhouse with AMAZING cacti. Of course, any self respecting cactus and succulent collector could never leave such an incredible nursery empty handed. Love those Ferocactus you selected! I have to chuckle at your wife's comment when she saw that one plant. Look forward to seeing it in bloom. Once again, your cacti collection is amazing. Perhaps time to add onto your greenhouse, so you can keep visiting these amazing nursery greenhouses and sharing it with us. 😉 😂❤ 🌵 🌵 🌵

Nice Joe. There is always a spot for a new one. Great video and beautiful cacti.

Спасибо за ваше очередное видео! Было интересно, как всегда! Прекрасные у вас растения, настоящий дикий лес из кактусов и суккулентов. Вы счастливый человек!

You really picked some wonderful plants! And I had a good laugh about the commentary of your wife on the Ceropegia 😂 Indeed, the stems theirselves seem not so spectacular but their flowers look in fact amazing. The short-spined Ferocactus definitely is a beautiful specimen, I have a cv. brevispinus of E. grusonii which I think is as beautiful as the long-spined version. I was also happy to find out that I guessed the Ferocactus purchase right 😄😉 I would probably have also purchased one of them because their spines are just amazing, both regarding their length (at least if we're not talking about the cv. brevispinus😅) but also how the spines glow reddish in sunshine. Have a great sunny Saturday! :)

So much fun finding new plants! 😊🌵 Thank you for the video!

Thanks for sharing. It's a great video. Wow, amazing collection. So many varieties of plants.

Good morning, mister Cactus Joe.Thanks for your insightful video.I have my cacti all outside under the sun.Since the weather is not that hot here in the north, I wait for the rain and if necessary I water the cacti with rainwater from the germination container.Best regards

The private collection is world class! I don’t know of any here in the US that is comparable to its diversity and age all in one roof! What amazes me is how clean and tidy it is. My garden is only 3 to 4 years old and everything is growing on top of each other. That private collection is immaculately clean… The sale area, I’ll go broke in there! … I’m sure you didn’t go home empty handed. I cannot wait to see your haul. 😊 Amazing trip and video, Joe!

Awesome and breathtaking show of cacti & succulents.🎉

Meus cactos preferidos são os rabo de macaco e o rabo de gato. O seu rabo de macaco estava bonito nessa época, depois atualize ele para nós Joe!

Amazing😍😍😍😍
