What color up the succulents?
Stress through lack of water, fertiliser low in Nitrogen, dormancy and enough sunlight :)
Hi Mick
I was wondering about the mineral mix, I have been using perlite but have been told it’s not the best. I also have zeolite which I’ve been told retains water and shouldn’t be used.
I was wanting your oppinion on this.
I’m finding it difficult to find other mineral types in my rural town
Hi Aleisha, perlite can retain moisture and zeolite, but they do allow good oxygen in and around the plants. The zeolite is fantastic at trapping nutrients and feeding the plants, rather than the nutrients being leeched through the bottom. Are you able to get crushed or decomposed granite? Most landscape suppliers should stock that. Hope that helps.
Is the granite for the mix or the top of the pot
What is the brand name of seaweed fertilizer you use ?
Garden basics or we use seasol 🙂👍
Love your videos, but when you're giving out names can you say them slowly, so I can write them down please.
Same with types that are dormant in different seasons. Cheers
Thank you 🙏 and yes I will try to slow down the pronunciation 🙂👍
How did you make the agavoides color up? I have some in direct morning sun, some are in indirect sun. All are pale. :D
They colour through time of the year mainly when dormant in Winter. Lack of fertiliser, water and the amount of sun they get. The ones that are in indirect sun, probably sound like they need more direct sunlight. I hope that helps 😀👍
Do I need to have a green house for succulents?
Hi Ortencia, not at all. You can grow them outside. We just have them in them to allow a more controlled environment e.g watering. The greenhouses also stay warmer in Winter and that allows extra growth for the plants, rather that them growing outside. Hope that helps.
Hi Micks
This is Sachin from India
I have been following your videos and i find it very interesting. Love to see more videos on propogation of echeverias from seeds and their soil mix. Pollination of haworthia if possible and soil mix
Thanks
Hi Sachin, thanks for following us. We can do one for Haworthia when they are in flower 🙂👍
Your succulents always look sooo AMAZING. Trying to get the right blend of soil mix for my plants does my head in. I can't tell you how many different varients I have tried. What's the name of the commercial mix you guys use and where do you get it from?
Thank you Suzie 🙂🙏 we buy ours from Garden City Plastics. It's called Succulent mix in the Jiffy brand 👍
@@mickssucculents thank you, much appreciated.
Your plants look absolutely perfect. I ordered from you for the first time and was most impressed with the quality of my plants.
I did send an email to thank you and let you know what I thought.
So........please tell us your soil recipe, do you mix your own?
Happy gardening
Thank you for your kind words 🙂🙏
We use a commercial mix, which contains pine, coir, peat, sand, pumice and perlite. Which just add zeolite to it 🙂👍
Where do you buy your shade clothe and what % is used ?
Ebay or Garden City Plastics. Depends on how much I need at the time 🙂
That Cante looks amazing!!!
Thanks so much! :D I love it!
Is that a dudleya brittonii? I have one and I’m having a hard time finding a video on how to propagate this plant. I live in central California where it gets extremely hot
No it's called Echeveria Cante, the big white one sorry.
What makes the succulent grow big?
A good fertiliser, potting mix, timing things right with water, good amounts of light and the right sized pot :)
