Hello ana your cactus and succulentcallection very nice and beautiful India

[christmassnow]

I have found that cacti may walk on the thin line between the size reduction of dormancy and root rot. Though I don't have frost, this happens for other reasons, sometimes even in summer. Many of the heavily spined species, like Echinocactus and Mammillaria appear quite normal but they don't grow at all in the summer. A gentle nudge is often enough to reveal that the once juicy cactus has become a hollow ball of thorns that detaches and rolls over like a tumbleweed. The thorns are often interlocked and hold-on to their original shape, appearing perfectly normal.

over the last few weeks my first flower has been developing it is now nearly open. it is a N. hasilbergii. your guidance helped make it happen. cheers

[billgolightly]

All-in-all I feel this is a wonderful report. You have a great memory of the past winters as you develop your skills for cold weather care. Thanks for sharing.

Always love looking at your collection. Sorry to see some of your cacti did not make it. I will pair for part 3!!

I enjoy your collection. I am in Cornwall (South West England) and our storms and rain were so bad this year I moved all of my cactus inside except my big opuntia which are planted outside in the ground. They have survived snow, gales, torrential rain and hail just fine! Do you have a reason why you dont keep your plants in the house? I put mine outside uncovered all summer and really miss them! In the winter I have had a couple of flooding and storm damaged green houses so I lost a couple of plants as well. I am most thrilled with the opuntia though it was a test but they all seem quite happy even though our average temperature for December was around 6c - they get barely any direct sunlight because of the low sun position. I am hoping for more flowers this year. Absolutely love your Zagarrae I have a smaller version but the same beautiful colour purple. I eagerly await the 3rd part!

Thanks for the update😊🙏I hope your cacti get through February safely😌🤲💖🌵

[youssefsaadana]

Oh my god im very sorry for your loss. I had a small rebutia rotting till now. And a mammillaria that got root loss i think. I dont understand why but it doesnt absorb water. It just kebt shrinkling until dried and died. I put my small collection indoors as for winter. Near the heaters.

[michellechapman]

I lost my bunny ear opuntia...it got mushy. My blue torch is rooting. ..i hope i dont lose it because its so beautiful.

Saludos no entiendo inglés pero veo sus cactus hermosos ejemplares

[delysial]

Hello there! I also just lost a cactus a week ago. It was my 3 year old seedling from my first ever batch of cactus seedlings. I'm still hurt about it..but the echinopsis are lovely. I was wondering, where did you get the Foxy Lady one? My dog's name is actually Foxy Lady and I wanted to see if I could get one 'for her' 😂 like how perfect would that be?

[pollytiks]

Thank you for showing how to remove a graft from its host. My host died also and I wasn’t sure if I could save the graft.

[michellechapman]

I just discovered that my parodia is rotting but its still green on top. Im just going to see if it can reconstruct itself.

[cactusandfriends_by_vane]

Thank you for sharing this part two of your winter update! So sorry for your Copiapoa, hope you save the pups🤞❤‍🩹

[jillianleblanc]

Thank you for sharing I look at part one and part two is very interesting love watching your video cannot wait on part 3

Dear Anna,
all Echinocereus reichenbachii forms and cultivars are extremely resistant to cold (to at least -12C, and many forms can survive freezing up to -25C), so it might be better/more natural to keep them outside. Also, Gymnocalycium bruchii is very frost resistant (to -15C, or lower for a short time) but needs to be protected from rain.
Best regards,
Nino
