Thanks so much for the support! Have a awesome and relaxing week!

Thanks Margaret! That's a fantastic idea for a video! We will try to get one out for that soon! In terms of the plant house that sounds like a great idea. We tend to use both our greenhouse and other sheltered areas in winter to help protect our plants too! It can make a huge difference providing that little bit more protection! Thanks again for all the support!

Hi Maoufreed. We've got a few small groups of the aurora variety. We've been trying to build up our collection of them as they have such a vivid colour. Compared to the jellybeans in our previous video we find that they are slower growing and are also more vulnerable to extremes in temperature. Definitely a beautiful variety but just need a bit more careful consideration of where they are placed to help protect them!

Thanks so much 😊

Fiorisce e quando

The crassula ovata gollum will flower in the warmer months if your conditions are favorable enough. They are pinkish-white and shaped like a star.

Hard to say without seeing the plant but its probably either overwatering or sunburn. If you think it's from overwatering you can try the following: unpot the plant and check it's roots. If they are still healthy trim off all damaged leaves and stems and then repot it. If the roots are mushy the plant is likely to be a lost cause. Trim some cuttings off any remaining healthy parts, let them callous over and then plant them.

If it's sunburn you'll need to remove the sunburned leaves and then put the plant in more shade. Happy planting!

The succulent wasn't stressed enough at the time of filming. If you check out ua-cam.com/video/ZTuSf9ToItU/v-deo.html at 4:18 it has footage of the plant when it changes its tips to purple hence the name.

Yeah it's crazy how many come from South Africa! Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thanks! Happy growing!

As with most aloes, you can do either..I tend to allow the flowering racemes just to die before cutting back these dried stems.

Hi Drizzle! Sorry for the long delay! You should be able to just remove the pups (preferably do this in spring). Once you've removed them plant them in well draining soil and wait a few days to water! Thanks for watching!!!!

Hi Gaudion! We live in a place called Canberra! It definitely has a big range over the year with temps!

Agreed! They are a awesome plant!

Like many succulents we find they prefer a really gritty kind of mixture. You could get this through a Cacti & Succulent Potting mix or you could make your own. When we make our own we tend to aim for 45% sand or other grit, a couple of handfuls of perlite (probably 10% of the mix) and then the rest (45%) gardening soil. The perlite will help aid in aeration and drainage. The sandy part will make the potting mix less compact and increase drainage whilst the garden soil will provide nutrients for the succulents. Hope that helps and best of luck with the gardening!

@@fosterandgrow tk u very much!🌱

@@regiegija02 You're welcome!

Hi V Borja! Whilst they look reasonably similar this is actually a Crassula ovata 'Blue Bird'. The silver spoons plant tends to have large oval leaves that are silvery grey and long curved stems which give the appearance of spoons. In comparison the crassula ovata blue bird has thicker branches (you can see this around the 3 minute mark) as well as round bound blue to grey foliage on the leaves with red tinging at the tips (there is a good example of this just after the 5 minute mark in the video). It's amazing how many slight variations there is within succulents! Hope you are having a amazing week and thanks for checking out our channel!

Thanks Margaret we really appreciate it! We definitely have a few Mexican Snowballs in the garden so well done on spotting and identifying that! Have a great week and thanks again for all the support!

Hi Perxbear! Apologies for the delay but we had taken a break from posting to the channel! However we recently started filming videos again and put up a video around succulents and winter colours 10 days ago. Thanks again for the support we really appreciate it! Hope you have a awesome week!

Hey Zoie! The beautiful tall flowers will grow back on brand new stems! You can cut the old stem off near it’s base to make the Lace Aloe look nicer. Then just wait for the next stem to appear and produce another beautiful flower. Hope this helps, happy gardening and stay safe!

Hi Little Mouse. Apologies for the delay in responding but we took a bit of a break from the channel. It's hard to know without seeing your plant but here is a couple of things to bear in mind. The most common reason for brown leaves on succulents is sunburn or sun damage. Sometimes it can also indicate under-watering - this usually shows up with a shriveled appearance plus burned (brown) leaves. Other potential causes of the browning could also be pests, fungal leaf or over-watering. With over-watering you will get the brown marks but also splitting in the skin of the leaves - you could check this by looking at the soil to check if it is saturated and then in future allowing the soil to try out in between watering. If you would like more information around the signs with under and over watering with succulents check out our "how to identify watering issues with your succulent" video here: ua-cam.com/video/EVRGW-y7nBM/v-deo.html Hope that helps!!!

Hi Baby Bolt, our weak Gollum was getting too much sun throughout the day, specifically during summer. Temperatures here are over 40 degrees C. We moved it into a location that has a lot more shade and indirect light. The leaves now look healthy and are a much darker shade of green. They even have red tops on them at the moment because of our cool overnight temperatures. We wish you luck nursing your Gollum back to health! Let us know how you go! Stay safe

@@fosterandgrow thanks.

He Margaret, thx again for your support 😊 it’s been a crazy last 6 months but we hope to get another video out soon. Great to hear you got a lovely big Blue Bird!! They are such a beautiful plant, we’ve had to shelter ours from all the frosts, it’s been cold this year. Glad you got some good info from the video, we had fun making that one! Stay safe and stay tuned 📺!

Apologies Doreen this was one of our earlier videos so we didn't have any close ups of the plant. If you would like a closer look at the plant you can check it out at 1.22 in our Echeveria Identification video: ua-cam.com/video/vsMvs6gTTAc/v-deo.html

Hey Aditya, we find that ours turn brown when they get too much 🌞. Try putting them in a location that only gives them direct morning sun. The Lace Aloe’s don’t even need direct sun only light. Let us know how you go!! Stay safe and happy gardening

We totally agree! They are such beautifully shaped succulents aren’t they!! 🪴

Hey Kiwi Nugget we are glad you enjoyed the video! It can take a while for them to sprout pups. If you take it out of its pot gently you might be able to see the sprouts growing below the surface level. They can stay hidden for quiet some time. Let us know how you go. Stay safe and happy gardening!

@@fosterandgrow Oh ok thanks so much! I actually did find some little baby ones I hadn't seen before. Thanks!

Hi Ali! Apologies for the delay in responding! We had a break from posting to the channel. When we talk about callusing we mean that you should leave the cutting to thicken and harden around the area of the cut. This usually takes 2 - 3 days but we sometimes leave our cuttings for up to a month on a window sill without water. After this period you should look to plant the cutting. If you don't leave the area to dry and harden it leaves the cutting much more susceptible to rotting around the cut. Hope that helps!

Hi Dee! Apologies for the delay in responding we had a bit of a break from the channel. In regards to Sempervivums we find they prefer a really gritty kind of mixture. You could get this through a Cacti & Succulent Potting mix or you could make your own.
