She is an world renowned expert of knocking things over and dropping things. She also possesses a doctorate in clumisiness from the University of MA.

Joking aside, this clearly just a lady who assumes Cacti and Succulents love sand as she thinks they all grow in pure deserts.

Also LOL at one of her other videos when she takes offsets of a red grafted Gymnocalycum and tries to root them in the soil. :lol:

Hey, respect for the clumsy one. The says the peat and perlite mix or big chinks of wood aren't so great for cacti and succulents. I could get to like this girl :)

Then she started pouring on the sand and I lost the will to live ...

I kind of expected her to cut herself, she managed to just cut the cacti though..

hilarious!

These videos are mind-boggling. Not because she doesn't know all this stuff. We have new people join the forum all the time and go through the learning curve. No doubt, I've learned much over the past years from you all and from my own mistakes.

However, to be so completely clueless about it and put up videos with the word "expert" in the name is what really blows me away. I thought the one about the "hairs that aren't nice" was worse. Surely she could have come up with the term "glochid" with only a cursory overview of cactus anatomy.
