Cactus Videos from Our California Farm
Every plant on this site grows in one place: our family’s yard in Southern California, in full sun, outdoors, year round. These are the clips we shoot while we work — the mother plants the cuttings come off, the named clones collectors ask for, and the hand-pollination behind every seed lot we sell.
Nothing here is a studio shot. You are seeing the ribs, the spination, the sun-stress and the character these plants actually carry, at the size we cut from. If a plant looks good here, it is the same plant your cutting comes off.
Tap any clip to play it. Where a plant is currently listed, there is a link straight to it — and the named clones sell out and return seasonally, so the cut-to-order list is the place to watch. New to these plants? Start with the fresh-cut cuttings, or the rooting guide if a cutting is already on its way to you.
Farm Walks
Unscripted passes through the growing yard — the plants as they actually stand, in full Southern California sun, at the size we cut from.
Clone Close-Ups
Single-clone looks at the named cuttings collectors ask for by name — ribs, spination, colour and habit, one plant at a time.
Crosses & Hybrids
Plants we made ourselves. These are the parents behind the hand-pollinated seed lots, so you can see what a cross actually grows into.
How Our Seed Is Made
Hand-pollination from the inside: how a bud forms and opens, and what happens after the flower closes. Every seed lot we sell starts here.
Collection Tours
The wider collection — a look at what shares the yard with the plants we ship.
Growing what you see here
The clips answer “what does it look like”. The guides answer “what do I do with it”: how to root a fresh cutting, how to start Trichocereus from seed, and how to carry a columnar cactus through a wet, cold winter without losing it.
More clips go up as plants come into flower and as new cuts go out. The fastest way to catch a drop is the email list — the named clones tend to move the week they are listed.
