    I have a question about my zebra succulent. Its outside leaves are brownish-black, but the inner leaves are green. What is causing this to happen and how can I prevent it from happening again.

    • @CaliforniaCactusCenter
      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  7 років тому +2

      The dark brown leaves on the zebra plant could be due to two factors: 1) lack of fertilization or 2) root rot caused by over-watering. To prevent this from happening, you can try to add a balanced cactus and succulent fertilizer (depending on the type you choose, you may fertilize the plant once a month with a water-soluble fertilizer or once every three months with a slow-release fertilizer). Water the zebra plant only when the soil is dry and if kept outdoors with filtered sunlight, you should only water about once a week to every ten days.

But since I don't speak nor understand korean language, I don't have anybody that could advise me how to take care such type of plants. I've killed and wasted alot of money already so I gave up. Now I might try it again... these type of plants are just too beautiful to resist. Your video so far is the best and the clearest when it comes to indoor planting.

    • @CaliforniaCactusCenter
      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  7 років тому +1

      Yes, when you remove the dead flower on top, the plant will re-bloom again. Most cacti like partial sun if kept outdoors and water about once every ten to 14 days. Water thoroughly and allow the soil to be completely dry before watering again.

    During the winter in the north east I obviously cannot keep these plants on the sunny west window because of the cold. How do succulents respond to LED Natural Daylight bulbs?

    • @CaliforniaCactusCenter
      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  7 років тому

      Succulents need a minimum of 4 to 6 hours of sunlight per day. LED Natural Daylight bulbs will not be sufficient enough for succulents to grow healthy. To help succulents thrive indoors, you would need special grow lights or full-spectrum horticultural light bulbs that provide and send out more of the colors contained in the spectrum of natural sunlight. Place grow lights about 8-12 inches away from your succulents. You can always adjust the grow lights as needed for your plants.

    • @CaliforniaCactusCenter
      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  6 років тому

      Thank you for watching our video. It is possible that the Haworthia "Zebra Plant" may not be getting enough sunlight. When some succulents grow pointy or stretch and turn a lighter color, the plant may need a little more natural sunlight. If kept indoors, you can rotate the Haworthia to a place where it will get more sun or take it outdoors for a few hours (filtered sun, not direct) and then bring it back inside.

    Is it okay to plant succulents and cacti in the same container? and do they require the same type of soil or is it different for each one? looking forward to your next vedio (:

    • @CaliforniaCactusCenter
      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  8 років тому +8

      +Cynthia Gutierrez Thank you for your comments! As a general tip, it is best to plant succulents together that share the same water and light conditions. Succulents survive better in filtered sunlight and tend to dry out faster than cacti, which can survive with minimal water. Both cacti and succulents need a well-draining cactus mix that does not contain peat moss. Peat moss is too acidic and holds too much moisture. I use a cactus mix that contains pumice, perlite, mycorrhizal fungi, coarse sand, fir bark, time released fertilizer.

    the house plants that need to be taken outside once a week for full sunlight and for air circulation.. can this be done in the cold wintery months?

    • @CaliforniaCactusCenter
      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  7 років тому

      During the winter, you can bring the succulents indoors and place them near or on a sunny windowsill. The best places for succulents indoors is where there is sufficient sunlight (west or south facing) and air circulation. When the weather is warmer, you can relocate the plants outdoors and put them in filtered sunlight.

    • @CaliforniaCactusCenter
      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  7 років тому

      To prevent frost damage, carefully cover the plants with a frost cloth, which can raise the temperature up to 10 degrees or you can use burlap, which will still allow the succulents to breathe and survive during the winter. You can also bring your potted succulents indoors during the winter and place them near a west or south facing window. When the weather is warmer, take them outdoors into a filtered sunlight area.

    • @CaliforniaCactusCenter
      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  6 років тому

      Thank you for watching our video! Euphorbias are poisonous succulents that contain a sticky white sap or juice. This succulent is one that people should be aware of when using it either as a container or landscape plant. The most common Aloe species that is generally effective and used for burns is the Aloe Vera or "Medicinal Plant". Another Aloe species is Aloe Arborescens that also has health benefits such as healing wounds and supporting the immune system.

    This is a wonderful video and has cleared many of my doubts as regards to succulents and specially haworthia succulents. Kindly advise how to propagate haworthia succulents. And if we don't have windows facing North or West facing then where do we keep the plant indoors.

    • @CaliforniaCactusCenter
      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  5 років тому

      Thank you for watching our video! You can propagate offsets or "babies" from Haworthias by removing them at the side or base of the plants. Then use a well-drained succulent mix without any peat moss. Peat moss is too acidic and retains too much moisture. Give the propagated succulents bright, filtered sunlight and wait about 3 to 4 days before watering them. East facing windows are fine. Make sure there is plenty of air circulation indoors. If possible, you can rotate the succulents from indoors to outdoors for natural air and filtered sunlight. We recommend you rotate plants about once every two weeks.

    • @CaliforniaCactusCenter
      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  4 роки тому

      Thank you for watching our video! When succulents turn brown and soft, you need to check the soil and see if there is sufficient drainage to prevent root rot. Succulents that are not rooted need to develop a callous prior to planting them in a well-drained succulent mix. Keep succulents outdoors in a filtered area that is covered and protected from frost and extreme heat. Water rooted succulents about once a week if kept outdoors.

    • @CaliforniaCactusCenter
      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  4 роки тому

      Thank you for watching our video! To help your succulents propagate, plant the succulents in a mix that drains well to prevent root rot. Make sure the soil does not contain peat moss, which is too acidic for succulents. Add fertilizer that helps plants grow and thrive. You can use any fertilizer for cacti and succulents. Provide filtered sunlight (partial sun) for succulents and water about once a week if kept outdoors.

    • @CaliforniaCactusCenter
      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  8 років тому

      Thank you for your questions. If you put colorful Echeverias near a window that has a screen protector, the plants will begin to stretch. They will not look as compact and colorful. If you cannot place them outdoors in filtered sunlight, then place the Echeverias near a west or east facing window. Windows that face south tend to get too hot and may cause sunburn on the plants.

      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  8 років тому

      Dark green Echeverias tend to grow well in shade or filtered sunlight. If you place the plant near a window that is east or west facing, the Echeveria will still become leggy and not stay compact. You can rotate the plant outdoors to a filtered sunlight area about once a week for 3-4 hours.

    • @CaliforniaCactusCenter
      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  7 років тому

      Thank you for watching our video and your interest! Moon Cactus lack the ability to produce chlorophyll. They must be grafted onto a base cactus to survive. Unfortunately, you cannot plant the moon cactus by itself into cactus mix for propagation. You can extend the life span of the moon cactus by re-grafting it onto a fresh base plant.

    hi, what was you saying to add the drainge?

    • @CaliforniaCactusCenter
      @CaliforniaCactusCenter  7 років тому +2

      I was trying to say you should always have a drainage hole whenever
      possible because succulents can rot very easily. Since I didn't have a
      hole in the pot - I mentioned you could add pumice to the bottom which
      would help the soil retain less moisture - essentially it helps the
      water to evaporate a bit quicker- you still need to be extra careful not
      to over water when there is no drainage hole.

    How do I bring it outside in the winter?

      Thank you for watching our video. You can bring succulents indoors during the winter by placing the plants near a bright, sunny window with plenty of air circulation in the house. Another option is to buy a frost cloth that raises the temperature by 10 degrees Fahrenheit and place the cloth gently over the succulents outdoors. Remove the cloth in the morning and repeat the process at night until the weather is warmer.

    Could you water a succulent container garden on a video so that we can see exactly how much water you use or do you have a round about amount you use. I created a bird bath succulent garden last summer, but had to move it indoors in October since I live in 4 seasons weather. My poor garden is on its last leg and I can't figure out why. The leaves of some of the plants are flimsy and have brown spots, and they have gotten very weak and leggy... please help these poor lil guys, :-) any advice would be greatly appreciated as I put a ton of time and spent a lot of money on it. thanks in advance!!

      Thank you for watching our video! It is difficult to determine exactly how much water as containers come in different sizes. We recommend watering succulents that are outdoors once a week until the water runs out the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. If there is a saucer underneath, be sure to empty the water so the plants do not rot from excess water. Then let the soil dry out completely before watering again.
      If kept indoors, we suggest watering succulents about once to twice a month depending on light conditions or the type of container they are in. For example, terra cotta pots dry out faster than glazed, ceramic containers, so the watering instructions will be different.
      When colorful succulents are kept indoors and then turn weak and leggy, they may need more natural sunlight and better air circulation. If you cannot keep the plants outdoors due to very cold temperatures, you can either use a grow lamp indoors or use a frost cloth to protect the succulents outdoors.
      Hope this advice helps!

      Thank you for watching our video! The short "Snake Plant" grows to about 8 to 10 inches tall and produces several offsets. This plant can thrive in either filtered sunlight or shade. If kept indoors, water about once a month. If you keep it outside in the right lighting conditions, you can water about once a week. Always allow the water to drain through the soil and wait for the soil to dry before watering again. This process helps prevent root rot.
