*This is great advice! I'm planning a move soon from very dry Arizona to very humid Florida. I have all my succulents in pots now, but this will help when I'm ready to plant some in the ground. TFS!*
Thanks for this great video!! 💚🌵This is exactly what I was looking for to get the confidence needed to start planting in the ground. I was so afraid everything would rot and die. I am definitely going to give it a shot. I still have some doubts and questions but I am sure they will be answered along the way with trial and error! LOL! You have a beautiful family! Zack is so cute and funny!
I am living in Perth, as you know summer can be a scorcher and winter can be below 5c on some days, my question is how often should i water them during winter and summer if they are in the ground?? do you hand water your succulents or drip system as i don't see any sprinkler in your garden.Thanks
I water them with my hose gun with the spread setting on the nozzle. I completely drench the soil, then wait until the soil is completely dry before watering them again. During winter, it takes longer for the soil to dry out. So I find myself waiting weeks, even months before watering (since it also rains more often during winter).
Annie Ong yes it is perfectly fine as long as you do not blast them with too much pressure. That way the waxy coating in the leaves (called farina) do not come off. Use a gentle stream setting on your hose if you can adjust it.
OMG I am so happy to have found your channel and i subscribed and today(Sunday) I revived this notification. I also live in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and love succulents but I only make dish gardens I've always wanted to plant them outside but was to scared. I have them on my garage where they receive like but a lot of 💦 . I will try this some day . Muchas gracias🙂
I live in Kissimmee Florida and succulents are very popular here. Many houses have succulents growing in their yards. Popular yard succulents are agave americana and attenuata types, kalanchoe fedtchenkoi and pinnata, sansevieria trifasciata types. There's even native yucca and opuntia. No need for raised beds or extra perlite or pumice. Just plant and water to establish and after that they can live off rain water. It's too hot for echeveria and aeonium in my yard.
+Cerriscapades . Thanks for your comment. I enjoy your videos. Rosette succulents are my favorites. Even though it's to hot for echeveria in Florida we can grow aloe and gasteria batesiana. When I lived in Colorado I had sempervivum growing in my yard. Where ever you live you can always use portulaca in your succulent summer garden for splashes of color.
Like ur videos! Love ur son, so cute! I live in zone 7. Want a succ garden outside BUT winters too cold except for semps. So, would the best think to do is have succs in pots to bring in for winter or dig them up every fall?
Depends on the plants I guess. You're on the right track thing that for the ones that can't take freezing temps, put them in pots. Those that can, leave out. I once made a video about including pots in the landscape before and someone remarked how they could use it for their winter strategy. ua-cam.com/video/9zv83SsJIH8/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video! I'm the viewer from punta cana, dominican republic. We have rain almost every day, and the days that it does not rain we have a very small mist of water in the night. It is so humid that we have snails, I hate them. The eat a whole plant I a few hours... also I deal a lot with fungus. I have some plants in pots, and something strange happens. They get wet and the heat is so intense that they kind of boiled inside. I don't know how to explain it. But i have lost many plants. So thanks a lot for the advice. Well see if thinks gets better for us in the tropics. If not we still get to enjoy you garden.
Hi Jaqueline! I wish there was someone who can add subtitles in your language. I went back to the video settings and enabled the option to allow viewers to add captions. I hope someone can help!
Another great video... what would you possible do if you ever moved house.. take all the plants too 😬 haha just curious do you have any Pachyphytum oviferum and have they ever flowered?
Julie Seal that is actually a recurring nightmare! Well ok not a nightmare, but it is at the back of mind nonetheless! Something we have to confront several years from now haha!
Very nice sir I'm from Pakistan Lahore. Sir I want to know a lot of thing but my english is little poor I'll try I hope that u will understand Sir one month later purchase some sacculent.but now they loss their leaves one by one I am giving water when soil come full dry Here day temperature 16 to 22 Night 6 to 8 centigrade
Hi there. If they are dry, it's ok. The leaves will usually fall off while they are trying to recover from the shock. If they are dehydrated, you can give more water, but otherwise keep doing what you're doing. Another thing to be mindful of is when plants go dormant. If your succulent is an echeveria, they go dormant during winter, so you might want to reduce the amount of water that you give it.
I might sell some of my excess plants after summer, but only within Australia. I'm just a hobbyist gardener so I do not have the resources to do international (and dealing with permits).
1:54 awww!
Excellent advice as always!
Thanks Ray!

Ohhh, nice to know that you're thinking of doing it. Would love to see what you end up doing!
Your garden design is so awesome!
Thanks Jordan, didn't think you were into that!
I love beautiful things... my dad and I grow a vegetable garden every year, but what you're doing is just incredible!
Thanks Jordan! Hey btw, just wondering, were you able to get enough clips for your collab video?
Cerriscapades yes sir, I just released it on the VOY group page and UA-cam.. have a look!!
Ohh goody! Will rush to see it now!

Very informative video. Love all your videos.
It idea's so nice now I am starting to grow succulents I love them so much

You have a beautiful family! Zack is so cute and funny!
Did I get your name right? haha
hahaha! it is pronounced the way you say it the second time at the beginning but don't worry. Everyone gets it wrong at first. LOL!
What soil mixture would you recommend for tropical places?
Ur ideas r lovely...ur garden is lovely...ur son is the loveliest of them all...love from india...
How about dealing with high night temperature in the tropics?
Agreed. Drainage, drainage, drainage and get that air flowin. 👍🏻
I am living in Perth, as you know summer can be a scorcher and winter can be below 5c on some days, my question is how often should i water them during winter and summer if they are in the ground?? do you hand water your succulents or drip system as i don't see any sprinkler in your garden.Thanks

During winter, it takes longer for the soil to dry out. So I find myself waiting weeks, even months before watering (since it also rains more often during winter).
So it ok to have the plant wet also beside the soil around them?
Annie Ong yes it is perfectly fine as long as you do not blast them with too much pressure. That way the waxy coating in the leaves (called farina) do not come off. Use a gentle stream setting on your hose if you can adjust it.
Thanks for you advise .
I love these “viewers answer/question videos!” Hello from California 👋🏼🌱

Sounds like an ideal place for most of them!

Good luck! Yeah you just have to manage the moisture and give enough airflow to fight against the fungus. Hope it works out well for you Claudia!
