Congratulations on 200! I look forward to your videos everyday. I must watch a least 3. I tell my friends your like a super fun Auntie. I'm up for adoption at age 51. 😆 My addiction to succulents grows with every one of your videos.😊 I only have about 50 plants so far. You have taught me so much, thank you for that.
Congratulations on 200 vlogs! I can't wait to see where you take the channel over the next 200 videos. Thank you not only for the entertainment but also for the education 💙💙💙
Greetings from Central California 😇congratulations on your 200th video🎉 love baby Pedro the parakeet as he talks throughout your videos!❤ continue success to you and baby p!🎉
Hello Liz I never miss a video of yours I love all your succulents and how you show us I still have my channel but I don't have all those beauties that you have congratulations God bless you always
I’m a fan of yours! Love your collection and how you treat all your succulents like your babies..such a doting succulent mom!! Keep sharing more videos pls…saying hello from LA, California!! Congratulations on your 200th vlog!! ❤
200 vlogs full of beautiful succulents, entertaining as well as so informative. Its been quite a journey. Loved the colour of the whimsy. The beyounce and some red beautiful one near the violet n hyalina were too good. Thanku fr sharing
You have not posted any videos since two weeks, pl don’t stop here @200 make it 500. You are very chirpy and I am missing you and your beautiful plants. Your videos are full of information and they are very inspirational for me ❤❤
I really enjoy watching your videos. Do you think you can make a more comprehensive video on growing from seeds and how long they take to grow? TY, from California 😊
You have been my inspiration for many years since the beginning of my growing succulent journey. When a student is ready, the teachers appear. Thank you so much for giving me so much information on how to care for babies. I love your energy, knowledge and generosity. Wish you good health and happiness, Ms Liz!
I am a huge fan and also a succulent collector from central California…here in Australia until tomorrow morning, following women’s World Cup soccer. Back to Auckland in the morning and then home on Sunday, 8/13. I have so enjoyed your beautiful country and was able to visit the Royal Botanical Garden yesterday in downtown Sydney as well as the Taronga Zoo. The garden did not disappoint and amazed me with its huge mature plants. Keep up the great work. You have taught me so much about succulents and I look forward to 200 more videos. Hello Pedro…what a sweet budgie! A budgie tried to join us for lunch yesterday after we disembarked from the ferry. I tried to get a photo AND keep it from eating my food!!!
Wow! You're lucky that you met a friendly budgie. Normally they're a bit shy. I'm glad to know you're enjoying your stay. Thanks for watching and stay safe.
Congratulations on 200 Liz!!🎉🎉🎉 I love your videos, your personality and everything you share with us! I have learnt so much from you in my 3yrs of succulent addiction! ❤️💜 Specific videos will be great, easier to search up previous content to rewatch as well. Looking fwd to what you bring to the channel moving forward 🥰
Dear Liz, I just want to let you know that your VLOG-type video packs a load of info in it! I always find out that some of the echeveria I got were mislabled by the seller (they are small sellers of course). I also love listening to you as it feels like I am chatting with my friend. ❤
You probably get asked this a lot but would you ever sell succulent cuttings❤. You remind me of my favorite teacher from school, I watch your videos before bed it's so relaxing😁. Keep the videos coming, please🥰🥰
I have sold some succulents in person before but find that most of the buyers did not want to leave and has taken up so much of my time. 😂 I'm considering selling online but that too will take a lot of my time that I haven't got at the moment. Thanks for watching and glad that you're enjoying my videos. ♥
Apart from the one in this video, all my dunce cap outdoors are dormant at the moment. Nothing to show but bare earth. Will have to wait till they grow in late spring.
Congratulations on your 200th video Liz. Love your all over the garden videos, so much excitement . Look forward to individual plant as well. I love my Morticia as well, definitely a gorgeous plant. Enjoy your day.❤

Hey Liz, love your videos, I watch them daily, thankyou for sharing, you inspire me! I would like to ask you if you could make some videos specifically for planting succulents into the ground and your advice on the soil. For example I have some areas which have alot of clay. That would be awesome, bless you!
Spring starts in September here in Australia and depending on how much rain we get, will determine how much gardening I can do and will try and do a video then. Cheers

Don't like using them myself but it works well on the fungus at the moment. Once the soil dries up, all fungus will disappear again and won't have a use for it again. ☺
Great channel Liz! My green thumb has been recently reactivated. I received some succulents and cacti as a tip for some work that I had completed. 😅 plants are Not what I expected to receive but now that their in my care I feel I need to give them the same effort I've been putting into my other hobbys, a full on maximum effort. You had used some type of seaweed/kelp solution in your master soil video... I cant find that specific brand, I keep finding things that contain Yuka and kelp and its marketed as a wetting agent. Would this solution be ideal? In my research into Coco coir, I tend to hear the most from hemp farmers... However the soil mix they put together is not as airy as what is needed for succulents. They use terms like "Living soil", "Compost teas", "Charging the coco with Cal-Mag& molasses". 😅 I guess really what I'm trying to figure out is how do you sort out your nutrition long term and on a small scale? All my plants are in a small grow tent with a 100w 2x2 grow light about 300mm from the soil. 😅 Sorry for all the questions Liz, I know its kind of a broad topic with many conditions one would have to accommodate for. Considering I live close to NYC and im not working with alot of room to grow Ihave to think smart and utilize off-site storage to my advantage so knowing what supplies I should have at the ready to keep the soil doing its thing for the plants is something I'm considring atm and so I dont end up with a bunch of cluttering supplies I'll only need a few times a year. 👍 No need to respond in detail, maybe doing another video around my situation would make for some more good content for you since your OG soil mix video is how I found you, the universe must really be pulling me towards you since it gave you the neat gift of growing haha. Thanks in advance!
Thanks for watching. Your questions are simple enough and is covered under these videos below. For soil wetter, you can use any Liquid Seaweed. Even the ones use for Tomato is good. Succulents don't need much nutrients and this is covered in my different soil mixes especially my MASTER Succulent soil mix. A top up of 10:10:10 slow release fertilizer once a year is all they need depending on the condition of the plant.

@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK ohh yeah! Thanks Liz, appreciate the reply. I got some work to do to get these ladies out of the standard Lowe's soil. 😅 They have been resilient thus far, I think they understand I'm making them Something special. Looking forward to continuing to learn as they grow and following in your footsteps watching your channel.
Remember me , I was the one who made your Echeveria whimsie I found A purple succulent i don't know what is called it looks like echeveria snow something but Cuter and Purpler maybe you know it
There are thousands of echeveria and it will be difficult to tell without seeing them. May I suggest taking a look online on websites that sells succulent. Good luck.
I just found your channel this week and I've watched quite a few videos already. Congrats on 200 even though it was several months ago.😊 I have a question about some of the containers you use. Some appear to be regular bowls or cups. Did you drill drain holes in them or do you put something in the bottom to keep the roots out of the water in the bottom? I really like all the different details you tell about the plants and how you compare them side by side. It's so interesting!
All my pots have holes in them. Hope this video below helps. USEFUL TIPS For POTTING & USE of POTS on SUCCULENTS | Growing Succulents with LizK - ua-cam.com/video/Yc84Fq7puek/v-deo.html
Hi Liz. I have a large jade plant . It is under the shade of a pergola, but our weather in Texas has been in the 100's for over a month. It is very sunburned on one side. I would like to prune it back and let it start rebuilding. Is it a bad time? When is good. I don't think she can wait until Spring.
You can start pruning it and keep even the burnt ones as they might still grow. They can be kept indoors with bright light and they will grow roots even in winter as long as the temperature is kept between 10 to 28°C | 50 to 82°F. Once roots shows, plant in fast draining soil and if it happens in winter, water sparingly. Good luck.
Succulents can be grown from seeds all year round. Video link on how I grew succulents from seeds. How To Grow Succulents From Seeds - 2 Months UPDATE - ua-cam.com/video/g9Fp7-ykPh8/v-deo.html
Do you have any tips for growing the Chinese Dunce? The one you showed in the beginning of your video growing in the star shaped pot inside your grow tent. That is the one I struggle with most. How often do you water yours when it’s indoors under a grow light? I can’t tell if I’m under watering or over watering. It keeps looking like it’s drying out. What soil do you use for it? What does it prefer? Does it like to be watered more like aeoniums or echeverias? I love the look of it so much but I just can’t keep it looking nice. HELP!!! 😝
PS I’m in MinneSNOWta USA and I grow all my succulents under grow lights in my house where it’s dry and is 75 degrees Fahrenheit all the time. All year round. I keep my Chinese dunce in a very bright location next to grow lights but not directly under the grow lights like I do for my echeverias.
@@ForeverASucculentAddict Like most succulents, Dunce Caps prefers to be watered heavily but less often. The plant will show signs of needing watering (soft leaves, dry soil or light pot). I grow mine in my Master Succulent soil mix. They're summer growers and will die down to nothing in winter in my Zone 9 area (we have frost); but can survive extreme cold(-30°F). Grown indoors as shown in this video, I was able to control the growing temperature to stop dormancy. My same dunce caps growing outdoors ATM have gone dormant(bare soil/no plants showing). They prefer bright light and very little fertilizer. They are also monocarpic(die after flowering) but easily puts out babies for continual propagation.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Thank you so much for the tips! I really appreciate it. I’m about to give up on them....😜 But I’ll do what you suggested and see what happens. I grow all of my succulents indoors all year round here in MinneSNOWta USA under grow lights set up. All of my echeverias do great with my set up. Only struggling with the dunce cap at the moment. Thanks again for the tips. This is my last straw with it. If it dies I’m never going to get one again. It’s a sign....😝
Hello Liz. I am new to your channel and am enjoying Very much your videos. I am just getting into succulents again. J placed a small order and as usual there was an elephant bush cutting in there. I haven't had much luck with them. How can I get this one to live?? It is about a 4 inch cutting. I started it in water and the leaves are starting to shrivel, as usual. Something always goes wrong. No water?? Lay on coco peat until roots form??. Please....I am at a loss. Please help. Thanks you for any advice.
Elephant bush grows like weeds in hot and dry places. They don't like the cold. Cuttings have to be mature with a node. If they're too young(soft tips), they won't grow roots and just dry up. You can lay a "mature" cutting on top of the soil and in time, they will grow roots. Then you can plant them in the soil.
Hi! I have a question and hope that you will answer my question soon please! I live in California and it’s so hot now like 110F. How can I help my succulent? Its stems keep getting black dots or the whole stems are black. I don’t know what to do. I keep losing my beautiful succulents 😢
Black stems are an indication of rotting due to too much watering. In Summer, once temperature hit over 30°C | 86°F, I stop watering altogether. Unless of course they are in desperate need of watering. Then I take them indoors or somewhere cooler and soak them.
There's always moisture in the bottom to let the roots reach for water but I always let the top dry up before watering again. Will be doing a more in-depth indoor propagation video soon. Thanks for watching.

The nursey pot for your babies had coco coir. Do you always keep the coco moist or do you let it dry completely before spraying it?
There's always moisture in the bottom to let the roots reach for water but I always let the top dry up before watering again. Will be doing a more in-depth indoor propagation video soon. Thanks for watching.

Best time to take cuttings is at the end of Winter.
