Where do you get your 2" green tall pots? Enjoyed this vid. Replanted some small lithops onto sandy soil and taller pots I had. Also like the Ario video too. Keep it up. 😎🌵

In my oppinion Why they’re rot is caused by the water are so alkaline, naturally cacti like acid water. U need to test ur water pH if its more than 7.5 and use for watering offcoursly they will die slowly

I really like the top dressing you use around your plants. What type of rock is it?
@cactusduty5241
@cactusduty5241 Ай бұрын
It's crushed fill rock we bought from Home Depot. They probably have a few different varieties to pick from from any of the big hardware chain stores.

Thanks for this program, I always enjoy your videos. 👍 May I ask do you condition your water in any way before watering (do yo acidify it), or do you use rainwater?
@cactusduty5241
@cactusduty5241 Ай бұрын
We use rainwater when we can get it but it often comes at the wrong time of year for us. We do acidify our water using vinegar.

Excellent video, as usual.😀👍 Cactus on 9:06 really caught my eye (behind the Stenocactus (multicostatus?), diagonally from M. herrerae). Is this form of Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus ssp. klinkerianus? Variability of this (sub)species never ceases to amaze me. Best regards, Nino P.S. Nice and healthy Pogona vitticeps.I used to keep and breed them some 20-25 years ago.

Hi!!!! I just bought some Lenta seeds from y'all & I am Sooooo happy & can't wait to receive them! Am I allowed to say that??? Anyways, I was going to try y'all's method this time! I have a question pls,,, you said u use JUST pumice & sand for ur mix?? That looked like very fine sand. Won't it just fall through the pumice to the bottom??? Also, did I hear right, did u say you just were using Beach sand??? All I can really find is All-purpose sand or course silica sand??!! But I Also found a small grained akadama! I wonder how that would work?? Isn't that how the folks on the other side of the world use?? These are my questions!!! I would sooooo appreciate if u would get back to me, hopefully soon so I can do this with the Lentas!!! I sure do love y'all's videos!!! I especially love the Father-Son team!! Y'all make a great team!!! Thank you so much. Sincerely, Anita 🌵

Hello, we would be happy to help. We use sandy soil primarily from the Mojave desert and pumice. We do not use beach sand and primarily use sandy soil. This sandy soil has a mix of sand soil and might have some clay. Both all purpose sand and silica sand will work but I would guess silica sand would work better. Akadama is useful but expensive so we don’t use it. Turface is a good alternative and is cheaper and so is floordri, so long as it’s high fire diatomaceous earth. You can find floordri in auto parts stores because it is used to suck up oil but works well with plants. Just make sure your soil doesn’t grow mold! Best of luck and hope you enjoy the lentas!

Remember Final Fantasy 8, and the main weakness against the GF boss, Cactuar, was water based attacks? I didnt understand at the time, but as i got into cacti collecting, ive learned FULL WELL the dangers of water to drout resistant plants. Luckily we're still in the very early weeks of May, and the last time i watered my cacti was 2½ weeks ago... but they got caught in a bit of a downpour yesterday. My phone lied to me and said no rain until 8pm, so i worked until 7pm, but then my wife told me it was raining pretty good at the house around 5pm. So unfortunately they all got a bit wet, but on the plus side theyre all awake from their dormancy and growing, so they should be fine, _especially if i get some hot and sunny days soon._ Today is sunny and warm, but my phone still has rain until Sunday. Hopefully its wrong and i get more sunny days. Im gonna be getting a small greenhouse soon, and i cant wait!!! Happy growing, and keep 'em dry until youre ready!!!

Thank you for yet another excellent video! It's fascinating to see how wild Escobarias seem to prefer pure limestone rock as a growing medium. Also, I was surprised to see how well M. lasiacantha grows in almost complete shade - it's generally considered to be a sun-loving species. Best regards, Nino
