I have been watching your channel for almost 2 years now. I have been growing succulents for about the same length of time. I teach Kindergarten and my students love to watch their propagating leaves grow. Thank you for all your information and hints. It has saved many of my plants.
I’m fascinated with your collection, you’re amazing!!!! do you have a list of how many different echeverias and succulents you have? I would guess over 500+ ….. thanks for your videos
It's another interesting and fun vlog, thank you, Liz! 😍😘 Yes, sometimes I also wonder whether that's a flower or a pup, just need to wait and wishing It's a pup😂
speechless talaga ako ate mga succies nyo...all i can say is wow... sana mabisita nyo din po ang aking munting garden kass ikaw po lagi ang pinapanood how to look after them. enjoy planting po. keepsafe
Can you do a vid of all your agavoides? It will help me tremendously because I have some agavoides that are A bit difficult to find because there all "rare" agavoides, hoping you also have one of it so I can finally hava the name after 4 months of searching, lmao
Agavoides can be a tricky plant to identify because they're quite variable and they change so much depending on different factors. It will give you more headache than resolve. My Romeos alone have 10 different looks and have been a cause of a few arguments with my succulent friends as to why their Romeos look nothing like some of my Romeos. Some have spot and some have none. Some are pointy and some are round. I try and stick to the label or no label that come with it. I give them my own names to keep track of what I have. To help you with your quest, below is a good website to start you off or maybe give you headache...Good luck and hope you have fun.

1. You can plant mature seeds a month after harvesting as long as they are "completely dry". 2. The seed pod has to be dry before collecting; just before they open up to scatter the seeds naturally. Unfertilized pods will have no seeds and not all seeds will germinate.
Thank you Liz, you are so informative. I was wondering what I was going to do with the flower stalks that grew so tall it keeled the mother plant over. Don't know the name of the succulent though. The flower stalk shot up overnight and is so tall I tied it to a stick to support it. The plant looks ridiculous! So now I am going to cut it off and give the mum a chance. Another succulent flower stalk leaves I propagated is the Echeveria Prolifica. The leaves are so tiny yet every single one of them rooted, pupped and grew. But they grew into flower stalks! So now I get it. If you propagate flower stalk leaves they grow into flower stalks! No mother big plant. Weird.
Flower stalk doesn't grow into flower stalk. They grow into a plant/plants. I have grown many mother plants from the flower stalk leaves. E. Prolifica is a type of Echeveria that grows stolons. Stolons can be a flower bloom to get seeds or a plant for propagation and make more Prolifica. Other succulent that doesn't have stolon have inflorescence AKA flowerstalk.
Pest, bugs and insects are part of gardening. They can be a nuisance, but they are a warning system to indicate that something is not right in the garden. Ants tells me the presence of mealybug. Mealybug tells me that the soil is too dry. Aphids tells me, it's time to harvest some leaves for propagation. 😊
hi Liz, just a quick question about your spray. i notice on your video on how to make it, you say one quarter cup water to one cup of metho. is this correct? because if it is 75%, wouldn't it be three quarters cup metho, not a full cup. or did i not understand properly.
Please disregard the 75% ratio. I was having succulent brain at that time. The way I mix mine is always by, 1 cup to 1/4 cup or 250ml(8 fl oz) to 60ml(2 fl oz).
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thank you, i will try it out this weekend. i think we all are suffering from 'succulent brain' at the moment, 14 weeks in lockdown now for central coast nsw. altho, i think that is unfair to succulents, as they are soo plucky little plants.
Could be a few things. The season- they can take a long time when taken in summer. Old leaves- if taken from too low, they won't grow because they're old leaves. Young leaves are better. If it's a sterile plant(tissue culture) sometimes don't germinate. It's a matter of waiting. I have some of my Black Prince taking 8 months to grow even a pimple. Good luck.
Is cross pollination just essentially taking pollen out of one blooming plant to fertilize the receiving plant...with paint brush..I have some echeverias blooming right now.
hi Liz i absoloutly love those blooms i wish i can see some in my garden ,but im not sure why it doesnt want to put out blooms could it be the weather or temperature?
It's now spring in Australia when temperature starts to warm up. Perfect for flowers to emerge. They will bloom and dry off during the summer time when temperatures are high. Depending on the plant and also maturity of the plant dictates when they will flower.
Excellent again Liz. Have you ever had any success with black prince inflorescent leaf propogation? I have 9 fat juicy but small leaves ( but no plant). I THINK I've seen 2 tiny roots on 2 so I'm hopefully 🤞💞
@@moiraberniegatt9491 I'm assuming you know this because you've commented on my video on, "Make Your own Succulent Hybrid- How Echeveria Whimsy Was Created." Whimsy is grown from an inflorescence leaf from a Willie Wonker which is another variation of Black Prince. Cheers
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK nope. I have aspergers and my brain zones in and out like a jelidascope onto what I have or love the look of and I get confused 🤣🤣🤣. But I WILL watch it again. 🤗🤗🤗
Hi from Pakistan Liz. I absolutely ❤❤❤your collection. How I wish i could have just 1 leaf from very succulant in your garden 🥰May I ask how long since you started collecting, and if you could please do a tour of your whole garden. Sending ❤
I have many videos of succulent tour. Please go to my channel and have a look at the PLAYLIST. This will tell you different categories of videos. Please follow link below. My Channel - ua-cam.com/users/GrowingSucc...
Hello Liz, just found you! Wow, you have solved several problems for me already. Thanks for that. Where are you located? I am in NSW Australia. We are in summer now - December 21.
Liz Love your garden,you are amazing. Big follower I love succulents If I ever get to Australia Love to meet up and have coffee And chat about our gardens Angela
This was a very interesting video, thank you! But I have a question concerning your cross pollination video: I'd like to know after how many days you harvested the leaves from the flower stem. TYIA
Liz, I finally have a plant with huge flower stalks And I’m trying to get pups from the stalks. I’ve already cut the flowers off the tops of the flower stems but do you suggest I leave the stalks on the plant with all the leaves in tact or should I remove the leaves or do you suggest I cut the stalks Off and plant them? I had three stalks and what I did was I left too attached to the plant and removed a couple of the leaves and I cut one off and planted it and again removed just a couple of the leaves. It has not yet rooted ,it’s only been two weeks but I would like to know what is your opinion the best way to propagate the stalk itself? I would remove all of the leaves and propagate all of the leaves, I just don’t have room this winter to do it that way. 😱
Depend on what sort of plant it is. Myrtilla, Blue Metal and Imbricata as an example grows really well from stalk. I would remove the stalk when the bottom leaf starts to yellow. Then I cut in 3 inch section leaving a leaf or two. Dry for a couple of days and stick in the soil. If grown indoors, they will germinate from a month to 2 months. The leaves removed (even if there's 2 hundred leaves)can be left in an ice cream container to be revisited in a couple of months time(since your approaching winter) or even wait till spring to check on the new pups to be planted in pots or straight into the garden if you wish.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thank you❤️ I believe it’s blue prince but it’s massive And it’s unlike all the blueprints that I’ve propagated from leaves. I’ve never had an adult one I’ve only collected leaves for propagating. But everything I’ve researched about this one since I’ve gotten it has appointed to it being a blue prince. I have it in an 8 inch terra-cotta pot and it’s basically growing out of it.
So if I wanted to get seed from one single plant, I would regardless have to “cross pollinate” it with itself in order to get seeds? If I don’t cross pollinate it to itself, there won’t be any seeds?
If you don't propergate do they grow babies that spread on their own or do the babies just make the plant taller ? I'm planting a lot on my rockery but I really want it to grow naturally not be digging it up etc to spread the plants about.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE METHOD OF PROPAGATION?
OFF WITH ITS HEAD!!!
I like to watch leaves grow from other leaves 🍃 , disappointed when roots don't appear.
LizK, what climate zone are you growing all these lovelies in?
I have been watching your channel for almost 2 years now. I have been growing succulents for about the same length of time. I teach Kindergarten and my students love to watch their propagating leaves grow. Thank you for all your information and hints. It has saved many of my plants.
As a beginner I thought the stems and flowers was a mark of something I did wrong. Thank you for teaching me to let them grow.
You are so welcome!
Good Morning Liz! Love to start my day with mt cup of coffe and your videos!!
It's almost gud nite here. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day!
You are so fun. I had a problem with mealies and clearly the problem was I forgot to say DIE, DIE, DIE!!! as I sprayed. I love your videos.
🤣
you have taught me so much. i love everything you do!!!
I'd do anything to spend few hours in that environment 🌺 succulants are truly fascinating.
Thanks Liz for the video on succulent flowers 😍as I’ve been waiting for it 😍love it. Also thanks for the metho cure 🙏

How to buy your succulent im interested.
Amazing succulent how to order

Hi Liz ! First, thank you so much for your videos ! I have learnt so much so far from you and your succulents are gorgeous
1. You can plant mature seeds a month after harvesting as long as they are "completely dry".
2. The seed pod has to be dry before collecting; just before they open up to scatter the seeds naturally. Unfertilized pods will have no seeds and not all seeds will germinate.

I love the way you are so unperturbed when u find aphids and Mealybugs and ants.

Mealybug tells me that the soil is too dry. Aphids tells me, it's time to harvest some leaves for propagation. 😊

This was a very interesting video, thank you! But I have a question concerning your cross pollination video: I'd like to know after how many days you harvested the leaves from the flower stem. TYIA
Basically till the seed pod dries up. Not days....Weeks and months for some plants. Spring flowering will dry-up towards the middle and end of summer.

No pollination, no seeds.

Some do but because of outdoor condition, they'll be a bit slower. Best to take some cuttings and just stick in the soil.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thankyou for your reply, I appreciate it :)
do they bloom once in the year? and if I keep my succulents indoor are they gonna bloom or not ?
Yes they do bloom inside and bloom once a year.
