Hi! I've been enjoying watching your awesome videos. You give a lot of good info and tips. Loved the ending of this video with the plants in their new pots and especially when you popped in at the end! Made me smile!

What are minimum temperature in winter? Awesome video mate, too many cool plants, wayyy to littel room ^^ best regards

...to stop old blokes rolling out of bed.

I stumbled on these a few months back on my "plant journey" and have a few in my collection. They are cute little plants, perfect for those of us who are space challenged.

I got my first Conophytum Pearsonii a few months ago and it’s just begun to shed out of its old leaves! Such a beautiful plant to see grow, and they multiply so fast! 😁

I've done pretty good with Lithops so I'll give these little guys a try...thanks for the recommendation and guide!!!

Oh geez another fantastic rabbit hole to enter, Conophytums, who knew? what variety too. Ok off to look them up…but oh dear you didn’t show what the flowers look like! And about how old are the plants you showed grown from seed ? Again, thanks much for this info 😊 🗿

It’s unavailability unless have 💰💰

Much love from Trenton Nj

Awesome information and may I say sir your accent is ❤❤❤❤❤❤dreamy❤❤❤❤❤blush blush

So you water them in winter and autumn?

Great info! What is the pot dimensions used to pot the witerbergense? and have you tried grow them from seeds?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! I have some growing from seed. I don't know if I have to stop.watering they are so tiny but growing.I failed with c. Maughanii seedlings, but others are growing

awesome videos

Great presentation 😊

Great work mate

Starting from seed is the easy rookie mode. I start with getting the plant to give me the seed 💪

What are the dimensions of the pot you are using for potting up? I really need to find something like that.... Best regards

This is top advice and should have way more likes and comments !! Thank you!!

I have one that is in the shade and it is very happy there. Totally dry from October to May then very moderate watering.

I am in Sydney myself and I am absolutely loving your channel a lot of what you have I can’t find anywhere

I’d like to make a pot for pachypodium saundersii, but I need to find stone I am imagining would feet it’s character) Can you share the size of the caudex part?:)

It’s refreshing to see another collector who truly appreciates not only the aesthetic beauty but the phylogenies as well, which make these plants so interesting! Cheers, from Southern California, USA.

Excellent score there! You have inspired me to do a quick search for Australian native succulents (live in Melbourne area) and so I am going to name drop a couple I found interesting, other than the fairly common coastal pigface species with the colourful flowering habit. Portulaca cyclophylla Muell with leathery circular leaves; Gunniopsis quadrifida aka Sturts pigface, a bit different to those familiar on coastal Victoria; Tecticornia verrucosa which has an edible seed and high salt tolerance; and Salicornia spp. aka Glassworts, also salt tolerant. If I can keep learning stuff I may not leave for 50 years. (117)

Congrats! What a score 🤩

Have rehomed a few senior cats over the years, but rehoming plants is a bright new notion. Off topic, I concede, but I have a Ginko biloba tree, in a large concrete pot, which has the potential tenure of 1500 years, more or less, and it has been cycled through repotting until in it became difficult in this pot without a crane or forklift to tap out, so I have been refreshing topsoil of the upper 15 to 20cm. It has been travelling with me since about 1985, but I can't match its tenure unless something "impossible" happens in medical or cybernetic science and I can still be here in the year 3500CE. (Iff the human species is still here...) Not yet, because I am fairly sure I have at least another decade or two before recycling to compost (from "fertilized to fertilizer" on the whim of the microcosmos and my own biome conditional upon my continued feeding of it, if you don't eat you don't shit, etc.,), so I hereby make it known public that a Ginko tree will be looking for a dinosaur to rehome it. Not a rare tree species, there are a few elder ones at Melbourne uni. outside the Geology faculty which are perhaps 100 years old, and even though no central nervous system or mind is recognised which may know the difference, but captive flora deserve more than premature composting just because I've snuffed it.

Great job on all aspects of the video: Acquisition of the plants, presentation and editing, artistry of repotting and the graphic slides of the new plants at the end. I really enjoyed this video!

You got lucky with some really nice old caudexes 😊 at 24:00 is indeed a pereskia, and it is beautifull to see the evaluation to cacti but besides that well.. hahaha😅

I’m so jealous! I love caudex plants!

What a great haul!

How do you find them from seed? Best regards :)

the P. saundersii is so cool, love its little face (the cavity looks like a mouth). The Sinningia might be a mispelling of "iarae"

What bristle strength do you use for the toothbrush? 😁 Great video as always! Take care

if you want bigger caudex growth, would you say keeping the plant suspended under more soil (not showing the caudex) would benefit or does it matter at all. Or is that the case for other caudex plants like Avonia? thanks, keep up the good work, may the seeds be with you 😏.

awesome showcase, love seeing the different ability's and quirks the different plants all have

Love it! These plants are so lucky!

Great video. Watched it all the way.

These very interesting plants were so fortunate to find you and receive the love and attention they deserve. Great job!!!

Omg is huge

This is the kind of content we need in the cactus and succulent community! good plants, good info, good personality :)

Beautiful plants!!

Another great video mate! Keep up the good work!!

Such unique finds! Thank you for sharing - plus all the education you provided along the way! Very grateful to have found your channel!

This is a great video! Thank you for your time and efforts to post it.

That was an awesome haul of incredible plants! I am so happy for you to acquire them and be sure the nice lady gets to see the video too! I have had a heck of a summer with pests here (mealy bugs and mites) and I have been treating weekly to keep them gone for good! Keep the cooties in quarantine for sure! I agree that several of those are specimen quality for really cool pots... once you find the best suited pots you will know! Happy growing!

I just ordered 100 Fockea Edulis seeds today, funny you pop up with a video about caudex the same day ^^ Will be my first try on caudex plants, think it will look good as a background for my cacti. Best regards from Denmark :)

My problem is rain. I want to grow them in the sun but it rains during the summer. Do you think it is better to grow them in part sun on my porch knowing that the sun will hit them but then the plant will be in shade as the sun move across the sky or in my house with growlights? I have T5 lights on for 10 hours a day.

How much mycorhizal fungi would you add?

Came here as a cactus and lithops fan, and now you’ve influenced me into caudex plants!

I love the long pots! Can I ask where you got them from?
