I am now a self-confessed succulents addict 😂 I am from the Philippines and I am really glad to come across your youtube channel. I love your collections of beautiful plants. ❤
THANK YOU Liz. I so love it so much when you go through your beautiful garden I Get to see all your beautiful succulents. THANK YOU so much for doing that. God Bless THANK YOU
Guess what Liz.. I finally bought the diamond drill set so I've been drilling the bottom of pots! Someone asked me if I knew how to use it.. I told them I had an expert teacher, thanks
Doesn’t she have the most amazing collection of ceramic containers! I am in awe every video. Between the amazing succulents and the pretty unique containers. Liz is such an inspiration. And on top of all the eye candy in each video, I learn so much.
Beautiful plants!!!💙 Right now I'm getting ready for spring with lots of flower seeds started. Also some veggies. Thanks for sharing your awesome plants.
I would love to witness an Australian thunderstorm! Here in the US the storms are intense but they don't quite pack that Aussie thunder from down under punch! I love your channel Liz I've been learning so much about plants and gardening from you! It all started with 1 cactus and 1 gollum ear jade. I've been waiting for the dragon fruit bottom of my moon cactus (not sure if you know the bottom of moon cactus is actually a dragon fruit cactus) to put out babies so I can get some dragon fruit in the coming years!
Glad to know you're enjoying my content. I saved some seeds from a yellow Dragon Fruit which. I like the taste the most. Hope to grow it soon. Thanks for watching.
I've got some little dragonletts growing as I type! It was actually very easy I just let them sit in some water to they split open then I placed them on top of the dirt in a little plastic pot sprinkled some dried dirt dust over them, for the cover I cut the bottom off a plastic bottle and misted the inside of it and the top of the dirt to get everything started. I water them with a misting bottle when I see things are dry. After about a month I started introducing regular air by opening the bottle top then gradually I took the bottle off and they're thriving in groups in little pots throughout my house.
Hi Liz, thank you for the constant video uploads, they are a fun watch everytime. I have a question as a Malaysian grower-- you say they stop growing in high heat which starts in the high 20c's. I find that my echeveria still grow despite our daily afternoon temps of 32-34c. Does that mean that a succulent can acclimatize according to location and learn how to bypass the dormancy phase despite the harsher temperatures? For context, I do grow them underneath a glass roof with some UV protection so the patio area is not nearly as hot as being directly under the sun. Do shade nettings help prevent succulents slipping into dormancy in the high heat? EDIT: Hahaha the ending of this video!!
Different succulent GENUS (EX, Echeveria, Aeonium, Sedum) have different dormancy period. For example, Echeveria are Summer growers and Aeonium are Winter growers but can't survive in areas with extreme frost or heat (10 to 25°C). You can create an environment indoors to grow them but just like other plants, they also need a rest period. Some like "Some" SEDUM can be perennial, which means that they will completely die down to nothing in Winter but come back in spring. Too much information to write here but best watching my video and pay close attention to the NAMES of succulent that I mention to find out the specific needs of each plant/succulent.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK I am working my way through your videos! I just have it on the background while doing other things, listening to your succulent talks is very calming!
I need your advice on the following fellow succulent lovers: I'll be having a garden that will contain cacti, agave, some small succulents and aloes (thought not a lot of the last two). The question is: will a 50% sand, 20% peat moss, and 30% perlite mix be ok for humid Florida? We can get a few inches of rain on the couple of rainy months that we have. The garden will not be under any cover. Or 50% sand, 20% peat moss, 15% perlite and 15% lava rock. Unfortunately we don't have access to pumice and filling an area that is 225sq feet and 16 inches high with bagged cactus soil mix from the store is going to get expensive quick. That seems like the most accessible list of ingredients that our landscaper can get a hold of, but let me know what you percentages you'd do if you were in my place or if there's any of those ingredients that you ditch completely. Thank you!
My front garden where I planted agave and aloe is mostly clay soil. I put some cheap commercial potting mix in the area where I first planted them, and they are now growing like crazy. I believe they are not fuzzy with the soil. Some succulents also have been growing in my clay soil garden topped up with the cheapest commercial potting mix and they too are fine. As long as it's free draining, they will do better in the ground than planted in pots. Garden soil mix in with decomposed granite if you can get hold of it will be fine. Otherwise, garden soil with a lot of bark mix in with some volcanic rocks will also do. Good luck.
How can you tell if it’s dormant? I have some Haworthia (the green see through kind) & it’s spring here but been very hot. Worried about watering them bc the soils dry but …
Haworthis are quite easy plant to look after. The only way to rot them is if the soil doesn't have enough air circulation. If the soil is dry and the plant is soft and wrinkly, that means the plant needs water. I tend to soak the pot overnight.
Not just any cat litter. In my cat litter soil mix video, I formulated it for those who can't get hold of pumice, decomposed granite or other ingredients I use for my different soil mix. My TROPICAL Soil Mix is best for over waterers and wet and humid places.
Video banane ke liye dhanyawaad. Aur bhi kuch sawaal hai Export related. Kabhi mauka mile to uspar video zaroor banaiyegaa.. Mujhe agar kuch seeds ya seedlings agar U.S. me gift bhejna ho.. Koi commercial transaction nahi hai.. To kya muhe ye saari procedure se gujarna hoga?

@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Thank you Liz!
What’s the reason behind watering the aenioum during cool weather and no watering during hot weather? Baligtad po, Ms Liz?
Aeoniums are cool weather grower. They go dormant when temperature is high; especially if they are grown in full sun.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK wow! There are a lot I didn’t know about. Thank you!
How can you tell if it’s dormant? I have some Haworthia (the green see through kind) & it’s spring here but been very hot. Worried about watering them bc the soils dry but …
Haworthis are quite easy plant to look after. The only way to rot them is if the soil doesn't have enough air circulation. If the soil is dry and the plant is soft and wrinkly, that means the plant needs water. I tend to soak the pot overnight.
So cat litter is good for them? ESP if you overwater?
Not just any cat litter. In my cat litter soil mix video, I formulated it for those who can't get hold of pumice, decomposed granite or other ingredients I use for my different soil mix.
My TROPICAL Soil Mix is best for over waterers and wet and humid places.

@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Wait What? These comments I had posted on another guy's Video who imported Adenia Globosa. Not sure why its tagged pm your video though... YT is broken... Does funny things. 😿😿
❤📹🙏
I came home one day & something ate off all the "rosettes" from the plant! Whaaat? The plant was on a shelf in my back yard in the shade. I'm sad.
Maybe a squirrel, I have been fighting two squirrels on my balcony eating my plants and they make a Big mess😯
@@rhondacruse309 we don't have squirrels in 🇦🇺.. Maybe a bird or rat (I live in an urban area so there could be rats although I haven't seen any)
I had my Variegated Mendozae plucked out by Bower bird. I also find a lot of pink succulent cuttings on the ground.
