Subscriber here and love your most informative channel. I haven't had any succulents for quite a while now and now have a jade and echeveria(Perle von Nernburg) that I overwatered by accident. They both protested by dropping leaves(petals) and I used the opportunity to use the fallen petals for propogation. I followed instructions on your or some other video I watched(there are a plethora of them!) to propogate the echeveria. I have one in particular from the echeveria that has grown its pink roots. I put it into soil in a cup I made from a clear plastic water cup, punched some holes in the bottom, watered it and I'm watching it take off on its own. Great channel and I love your enthusiam!
I honestly don't know what each variety SHOULD look like. Unless they have leaves falling off and the stems become rotted, they all look sort of alive to me. Lol. Thanks for this. One of my babies is apparently underwatered.
Thank you sooo much. I'm a beginner succulent lover and in past couple of months have accumulated abt 50 succs... Plus the ones I'm trying to propegate.. I am trying to learn when to water and when not to. Again great video. Thks 👍🌵
Thanks for the video! Next time can you show what the under watered topsy turvy loos like after you watered it. I’m fascinated by how quickly they recuperate.
Oh my gosh! Thank you SOOOOOOO MUCH!! I’ve been looking everywhere for someone to give me examples of what an under watered succulent looks like! I’m new to this and love succulents. But I’ve overwatered like 3 now and I’m paranoid of root rot. But I have a couple that are as you describe with being under watered so now I feel I can water them! Lol!! Thank you so much!!!
new subscriber here and a newbie with succulents. thanks for this video. i liked how you explained the basics of watering. simple and straight to the point.
I freaking love your videos! You have a really nice voice to listen to and your content is so interesting. Makes me extra excited about my own succulents I just started growing ^^
I live in Michigan. It’s COLD here in the winter!!!! During the summer I planted my succs together in pots and put them outside. They FLOURISHED! They grew to be soooo big and I got lots of babies! When it began getting colder I brought them in and repotted some of them. I have them all in my south facing window to o Tao the most light but many of them are losing bottom leaves. It’s been about 6 weeks since I repotted them. I’m not sure if I’m under or over watering them, OR if they just need more light or warmth? I thought about getting some grow lights to clamp over head but idk if that’s necessary? Please please help! Any suggestions?!
I have the exact same succulent like the second one you showed. It is winter here now and I planted it just before winter and I am really worried , because its leave are even more shrivelled than yours. It is my favourite and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. The rest of the succulents' leaves that I planted at that same time, are also a bit shrivelled, but I am most concerned about this one. Do maybe have any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong, because I have been watering all of those newly planted succulents once a week for at least the past 3 weeks. It also get a lot of sun; probably the whole day.
Hello, would like to know if there's any chance of root rot (over watering), if I wait to for the soil to be completely dry before I water again. Some people seem to say that in winter some succulents/cacti don't need watering because they're "resting", I have a tendency to water my succulents if the soil is completely dry, even if that means that I need to water them once a week...am I wrong in doing this ? Thanks
Rosy 7 I water through out the winter. They are probably right in that they don’t need as much water, but I would still give them water. You just have to be sure the soil can dry fast enough as it dries slower indoors. Water less and build up from there. Better to underwater than overwater!
I've just started my succulent obsession a few months ago and turns out I've been overwatering this whole time!!! I am wondering if you prefer natural light or grow lights? I've had mine in a window getting plenty of indirect sunlight but I don't know if I should invest in a grow light? If I do get a grow light should I remove them from the window and ONLY use the grow light?? How does this work?
If you have a bright window and they aren't stretching, you can keep them there! If you notice the leaves separating in height, then you might want to get a grow light.
I know this isn't the answer you want but how often is dependent on the environment of the succulent. For me personally, I water every 1-2 weeks, depending on when I remember :) But my succulents are also under grow lights all day long. For outdoor succulents, you might water more often since they are getting the heat too. So I would go off of when your soil completely drys out and then water give them a good soaking. Hope that helps :)
What about leaves turning squeeshy and soft? I last watered my ghost plant 13 days ago because i bought it 16 days back and had no idea about when they were last watered. My ghost plant is loosing a lot of leaves. Please help...
The overwatered example is the little jewel or pachyphytum compactum, the underwatered example is the topsy turvy. On my videos I usually put the name of the plant in the description box if you are ever curious :)
@@AngelsGrove I've gone to succulents, recently my Rose's went completely south. From what I've read I believe they got rose rosette disease, I'm actually pretty hurt ): succulents seem to need care but not as much as Rose's 😏...I live in AZ and we have lots of sun are succulents able to handle full sunlight & if they are outdoors do you cover them in the cold ?🤔😊 thank you soo much for responding. My mother passed away a couple years ago and left me with some plants so I have no choice but to grow a green thumb and I dont wanna toot my own whistle but I'm pretty good at it and by having these videos you've helped me educate so I appreciate it.
I agree roses are difficult! I applied to grad school in AZ off of the only fact that I could grow succulents outside, lol. Instead I chose MN where you are in snowpocalypse for like 10 months of the year lol. So succulents should do great outside, if temperatures are reaching around 40 you may want to consider covering them or bringing them in. I haven't lived somewhere where I have been able to let them grow outside all year long. But from the AZ people I know, I'm pretty sure they let them do their thing!
James Sutadi were you able to turn on subtitles? Were they helpful? Maybe I need to relook at the subtitle capabilities on my videos. Thank you for your comment, I am always hoping to make my videos more accessible 🙂
So good to see another Minnesota succulent person!

Do you always have to remove the over watered leaves? Will they come back? It's just a few I noticed them after I got the succulent home.

Muy interesante. Gracias por informar y compartir. Saludos y bendiciones

Thank you! I told my fiance what you said and he responds with "You haven't heard it when it is angry" haha :)
I busted up laughing when she cut that damn plants head off, I was waiting for her to throw that other thing in the wood chipper.

Thank you a great helpful Vid👍🤗

How fast is your soil drying out? Is your soil bone dry in between waterings?

Best example
Thanks for sharing
You have a tool box for your succulents? What should be in a tool box for succulents?
Hi! Do you throw away the soil from the over watered succulent that you had and put it in new soil after cutting the stem?
I put it in new soil but I reuse the old soil once it is completely dry and I have removed the rest of the plant(roots, stem, etc).
Got it! Thanks! I love you vids btw! :)
So how often do you water them then? I don’t think you mentioned that
I know this isn't the answer you want but how often is dependent on the environment of the succulent.

Neha Chhikara I would try to dry it out a little, it sounds overwatered
Make succulent propagation update video please!
I have a lot to learn
Love your videos, thank you.
Really helpful!!!
So informative. Thanks much.
Thankyou for the information

Currently working on a mealy bug one but I will add the other buggers to my list :)
Thank you

I have a question what is the name of the second succulent please I have that succulent also but doesnt have the tag....🙏
The overwatered example is the little jewel or pachyphytum compactum, the underwatered example is the topsy turvy. On my videos I usually put the name of the plant in the description box if you are ever curious :)
@@AngelsGrove Thank you very much!! I did not notice in the description.. sorry...
The Succulent Enthusiast not a problem! I don’t mind, just if you are ever curious for any other videos 😁
