Nice video and tips! Thanks for the lists is a good reminder. Are those long obesa seedlings at 6:22? When and do you bury them or do they shrink and you leave them? Hope to see more videos on cacti, succulents, caudiciforms, seedlings, grafting end game, etc!👍👍
Also you say in the video lithops go dormant in summer and shrivel, but spring back to life in winter *as theyre winter growers.* But your description has lithops in the *summer grower* category. So whats going on here?
So according to your list in the description, my wife's jade (crassula) and her zebra plant (haworthia) _are winter growers?!?!?!_ We live where winter would KILL these plants, as they come in during winter, but hit the porch (and warm sun) in the summer.... and that's WRONG?!?! Please, someone with experience answer me with this so we can provide the best life for these little green buddies.
Your haworthia will definitely appreciate some shade in summer. However the jade plant is an exception to the rule, it is a summer growing crassula. I would still bring these inside if you have freezing temps in winter. Winter growers are able to grow in winter because the habitats they come from never reach freezing temperatures even in the dead of winter. So while summer temps in their habitat are too scorching and dry to foster growth, the winters are mild and moist, perfect for growing.
Really helpful info and well put together video. Thanks!
thanks for watching and for the kind words!
Epic video! East Austin Succulents is back!

Different species of euphorbia. As they mature they will stiffen and right themselves
Thank you for the ino ❤
