Astrophytum myriostigma, 2 years + 7 months

The Astrophytum seedlings are doing really well. The biggest one is now 4 cm in diameter and the smallest is barely 3.

I just watered these guys for the last time this year. Nighttime temps are now somewhere between 5-9°C and I don’t want to have to move all of my succulents indoors this year.

Epiphyllum oxypetalum

Imgur: The magic of the Internet

An Imgur user became inspired after watching a time-lapse video I posted of my Epiphyllum oxypetalum blooming!!  Check out the amazing sketch they drew, it looks fantastic and I’m thrilled to have inspired such great artwork!

Maybe this year’s last flower of the Echinopsis aurea from Greece

My Epiphyllum oxypetalum, aka: Queen of the Night, was getting ready to bloom so I recorded this time-lapse video.  This flower only blooms for one night then it wilts away.

2017 Total Solar Eclipse : Totality : Columbia, Missouri : 8/21/17

Solar Eclipse Totality!  A short video of the total solar eclipse taken in Columbia, Missouri on August 21st, 2017 at 1:13pm central time.

I used my the camera on my phone to capture this video of the total solar eclipse and had some issues with the lighting trying to auto-adjust but I was able to find a small clip where the video turned out okay.

Thanks for watching my solar eclipse video.

I hope you enjoy the video!

Thank you for watching, please share! :)

Repotting Lowe's Cactus Purchases into terracotta pots!

Featured Cacti in this Video:

Stenocereus pruinosus

Rebutia species unknown

Mammillaria pilcayensis (Bristle Brush Cactus)

Browningia hertlingiana

We couldn't help ourselves and decided to go cactus shopping at Lowe's over the weekend.  Of course we go to the store thinking, "I'll just see what they have" or "I might get one".. then leave with 4 new cacti.. LOL

I was excited to get a Browningia as I don't have one of those in my collection yet and I've always admired them.

If anyone has any idea what species Rebutia this is, please let me know in the comments below.  The tag on the pot didn't identify the species.

I hope you enjoy the video!

Thank you and Happy Growing

Fake Cactus Flower Removal and Cactus Repotting

Featured Cacti in this Video:

 Mammillaria nejapensis

 Mammillaria rhodantha

-Helianthocereus poco

We bought a few new cacti at Lowe's, some new additions to our collection.  In this video we remove the ugly fake flowers from the cactuses and give them a new pot and new soil.  I really dislike that the nurseries put dried-out strawflowers on the cacti but it apparently increases sales, from what I've been told.

Included are various cactus repotting tips and examples of how we mix our soil and handle the plants during the repotting process.  There is a photo gallery at the end with before and after pictures.

I hope you enjoy the video and as always please subscribe to my channel for updates!

Thank you and Happy Growing

Haworthia hybrid clump in blue-glazed bonsai pot

These are just initial documentation pics from this plant, which I potted a few weeks ago. This striking cluster was lovingly grown by Emily Grinnell, and originally came from Jim Smith, though several years ago.
