Kat I'm sorry I dropped my question for the wrong video this one is the appropriate one.
The question I would like to ask is whether just the crown will root after a beheading of not really?
Yes, you can definitely behead- they take pretty well and the other part should also pop out some babies 👶😀 win-win
Thank you for your valuable time and for the great advice Kat🙏🌸💐
mt obrigada :)
Hey me again. I wanted to ask, what is the difference between Romeo rubin, atlas and luming? To me, they all kinda look exactly the same.
Yeah, not sure myself- they do look the same. It can be a colour or shape thing. Succulents will mutate slightly (especially when grown from tissue culture) and if there are any variations growers tend to give them different names. But it is mostly to just sell more, especially when it’s expensive plants that have mutated. I have seen some ridiculous names given to ordinary succulents by amateur growers because they changed colour. The problem arises if it catches on.. If the mutation is really exclusive growers tend to register the name (you can look it up on your local authority’s website). In Aus its ACRA. If the name has not been registered it is likely to be just a marketing thing..
Thank you for sharing this one. Do you mean need to dry the plant in order to perfectly pluck the leaves? How many days to dry it after watering do you reckon? Thank you! 😊
Sorry for the late reply. Yes, the plant is better off a bit thirsty as the leaves become leas rigid and are easier to handle/harder to break the wrong way. How long the plant needs to dry for will depend on where it is kept/seasons/temperature etc. i leave it until the leaves are a little wrinkled, but drying out a plant always has its risks and it needs to be shielded from extreme sun. A chunky plant like Rubin can take over 2 weeks to dry but go by how squishy the leaves are. Good luck, hope you’ll get a few Rubin leaf babies 😀🤞
@@SucculentGrowingTips thank you!
Hey my leaves are turning soft will they propagate?
If they are soft but dry they still might but, if they're going mushy it's very likely they won't make it.. Rubin leaves are super hard to propagate 😔
Can you share to me the soil mix you used to your rubens please
We use succulent potting mix made by a potting mix manufacturer. This particular mix is not available in the shops, but consists mostly of coir, pinebark fines, coarse sand, minerals and slow release fertilizer. During wet years i sometimes add perlite/pumice to make it drain super fast.. Check out my latest Short to see what it looks like :)
I would prefer to cut the crown out. That will grow as a new plant and the stem where youve cut it will make new babies
Yup, that is correct. Topping would definitely encourage new offsets. I just wanted to demonstrate what happens when this particular succulent is tried to be propagated from leaves. When i made that video i've seen lots of websites say Rubin is easy to do from leaf so i thought i'll put my 2cents in :)
Hey thanks for tips. I wanna ask, how long it take the leaf grow the new plant babies? I try to propagating it but it takes a long time to grow, and when it grow, it wont big. Do u know why this happen? Thanks for answer :)
Hi, yeah unfortunately Rubin can take many months, some even as long as 7-8 months to show any growth from the leaf and the majority of leaves don’t sprout at all ☹️ That’s why i say in the video that it just may not be worth it as it’s too hard… 🤞your leaves will eventually grow 🙂
How Cana beginner tell if the Echeveria is high bred or not??
I’ll make a video about this and send you a link as the answer would be too long to type out here 😅
Difficult Difficult...but so pretty.. ROMEO 🥰🥰
They're probably expensive to buy 🤔🤔
Yes, I’m afraid the Romeo Rubin is a little pricey but not one of the most expensive plants i’ve seen 😁
Do you sale in USA? Love your information.
Hi Karen, thanks - very glad you find it informative 🙂 💚i’m afraid our nursery only sells within Australia 🙁
May ibuy some romeo rubin , i’am in Melbourne
So if you try to propogate Romeo from leaf, there's no guarantee what you might end up with? Green, pink, dark pink, red...
If the leaf propagation is successful you should end up with a clone of the mother plant (the leaf baby will be the same colour as the mother), but mutations do sometimes occur and the colour can change, but it is quite rare. The main thing with Romeo and Romeo Rubin leaf propagation is that the likelihood of the leaf sprouting a new plant is very low. When we propagate these plant from leaf, only about 10% of leaves end up growing a new plant while the rest rots/dies.. This is also the reason why these plants tend to be so hard to get and pricey- they are just too difficult to propagate naturally.
@@SucculentGrowingTips yes, while I was doing my research, I did learn about how difficult it is to propogate Romeo from leaf.
I have 3 leaves sitting on soil for 3 weeks now and so far, nothing. To your knowledge, are there any other echeverias other then Romeo that are the same way? Meaning they don't pup much and are hard to propogate through leaf.
Yes, there’s quite a few, unfortunately. It’s mainly the frilly/ bumpy Echeveria like the Dicks’ Pink or Raindrops (though there are a few exceptions) and some others (Glauca, Elegans, Unguiculata, many hybrids) i’ve mostly found out through trial and error and am slowly getting through all the varieties on our website so people can find out how a certain plant propagates.
Hope your Romeo leaves will eventually grow a new baby 🤞🙂
@@SucculentGrowingTips you seem to know alot about echeverias. Cool. Oh and thank you😊
@@brokenbutterfly3178 We grow quite a few different Echeveria varieties (60+) in the nursery and i experiment with them a lot :) They are the most popular succulent genus that i sell, so if there is a rare Echeveria that can be propagated from leaves, i have to know, haha.

Where to keep red romeo/Echeveria when temperature is 30-40 degree Celsius?
Hi, the best is to put a shade cloth over or you can just temporarily move to shade on hot days. They don’t really mind the temperature, it is the direct sun on hot days that can burn them. If it’s 40C and the plants are in bright shade, they will be ok 🙂
@@SucculentGrowingTips thank you so much...should I stop watering during summers?as roots might become dormant
They will need water in summer otherwise the heat will dry them out. I water ours whenever the potting mix dries up, which in summer during a hot spell can be every other day. Most (though not all) Echeveria grow in spring/summer and are dormant winter..🙂
Where you located at.? I wanna have some Romeo too
Hi, we’re in Australia and don’t ship our succulents internationally, but i’m sure you’ll be able to find one of these babies in the US as well- i’ve seen nurseries advertising them on Instagram. You may want to wait until spring is well underway as it is more likely they’ll have them in stock 🙂🤞
@@SucculentGrowingTips i will look. Thank you
dear! kindly check sellers from China,Thailand & Indonesia for succulents (Echeveria, Haworthia, etc)..Price rates from China are cheaper than others..I have purchaed some haworthia one year ago,I don't know the current import status as because of covid.wish you good luck for local buying as well,happy succulenting!..:)
@@javeria126 how much did it cost you? (Shipping included)
