    Hi Liz. I want to apologize for not commenting when you announced Pedro past. I cried and cried and cried. I just couldn't do it. But Liz I never ever seen a person as strong as you. You inspired me in this video. I know you grieve on your own time. But you are so happy and yet you lost 2 love ones. I so admire you. You are the greatest ever. Very cheerful. Your succulents are so so ever beautiful. The pink one is gorgeous. I so love your garden. Much love always good bless.

    Oh Liz you’re not alone there about your face giving a lie away. That’s me too.! 🤣 Thank you for another interesting video into your life. In my 20’s I did something bold & dressed up brightly for my grandfather’s funeral because my reasoning was that he had lived such a long & good life and we should be happy about it. It didn’t go down well with most of the family who were all wearing black. 😬Everyone grieves differently and people can definitely get weird about it. Glad to hear you singing and enjoying your succulents. You’re a very strong lady & an inspiring gardener. xo

      😂🤣You just made me laugh, Susan. Thank you. I'm saving this story for a video but after you shared your story, I gotta share with you. 😊 I attended a wake once with Hubby, and I was chatting with the grandaughter of the person who passed. We were laughing because of funny stories she told me about her grandfather. On the drive home.... I got given an earful from Hubby for being insensitive by laughing and carrying on as If I was at a birthday party.🤣 According to him, I'm supposed to act solemn. We all have different ways in dealing with grief and sadly for some, they belive that their way is the only way. Have agreat day! 🥰

      Sorry to hear about your succulents growing condition, but glad that you don't give up. My succulents gives me so much pleasure, especially when they survive. I really believe that to grow them in hot humid places, the substrate has to be more rocky, like my ADVANCE SOIL MIX. Wishing you all the very best. Take care. 🥰

    Hello Liz, some cultures wear white, not black. We went to a funeral and the lady asked specifically that her family and friends wore any colour but black. Her favourite colour was Pink/purple so all the ladies came in Barbie pink. The world is changing and so the uncle was just ahead of his time. You are not just a happy soul but vibrant and electric. You’re a spark of joy and hilarious! That’s truly what this life’s about. With love do we know grief. You’re very spiritual so you sense we all meetup again. In truth Pedro and your hubby are right beside you. Your hubby is watching you and rolling his eyes. You had me laughing with “tight-arse”. Liz, your love for rocks, crystals and succulents is astounding and in spiritual terms they say it’s “grounding “. Truly connecting with Mother Earth that’s sentient. Stay wonderfully you. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

He said that I could do whatever I want when he's gone. He knows I always tell the truth. But while editing this video, he still was hanging around my back(freezing cold) on some juicy parts that I've removed. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for watching, Evelyn and have a lovely evening. 🥰

    Hi Liz. You’re definitely an inspiration, lying or not lying, your cheerful mood is great and will help many of us to cope too with hard times. Question about watering: it’s winter for you and you said it will frost at night, are the plants very very dry? Do they really need to be watered with the frost coming? What about the opposite? We’re having 100F (I think abut 38C), my succulents dry out very quickly, when should I water them or how often? Thanks again for your videos …. Tere (in VA, USA)

    • @GrowingSucculentswithLizK
      @GrowingSucculentswithLizK  Місяць тому

      Autumn is the best time to water succulents to get ready for winter. The ones I watered in this video (aeoniums), are cold/temperate weather growers and need to be watered since the leaves started showing signs of dehydration. A lot of Echeveria can handle frost to a certain degree, but I shouldn't have watered them. Just like me....I'm teaching my plants to be resilient. 🤣
      I prefer to not water in summer when temperature exceeds 30°C|86°F. Otherwise, I water late in the afternoon or early morning(ground planted succulents).
      When temperature exceeds my preferred level and the "potted" plants are dry, I take them indoors and soak them overnight. Drain and put them back in their position, early in the morning. The echeveria agavoides varietiessss that are grown outdoors, I don't water them in summer. The ones in the shade in summer, if needed(soft leaves due to dryness), then I soak as per mentioned above.
      As GENERAL RULE OF THUMB....Water less but more. This means water less often but make sure that the soil in the pots are saturated(no dry spots). Thanks for watching and Have awonderful day. 🥰

    What kind of top dressing can I use? I love the really colorful rocks that go into a fish tank. Would that kill my succulent?

    • @GrowingSucculentswithLizK
      @GrowingSucculentswithLizK  Місяць тому

      The only rocks for top dressing I find that kill succulents are the white calcite. They leave a powdery residue on your hand when handling. As long as they're not too small(3 to 6mm), is what I prefer to use for air circulation. Thanks for watching and have agreat day! 🥰

      @GrowingSucculentswithLizK  Місяць тому

      I don't know anything about raising budgies but I know Pedro. No crop for him and he's an excellent regurgitator due to the rocks and minerals that I fed him. Aside from the grieving, Pedro was in perfect health(apart from signs of old age). He was grieving since "January" when he did not see Wal for over a month. When he died 6 months later, he still looked like a 2 year old budgie. Cheers

Suggesting that I get an old pet to care for a short period of time and GRIEVE all over again will be enough to send me to my grave.
