Hi Liz! I'm LM and I'm 17, and I've recently started taking care of succulents as well since late april (also my birthday's on april and I got succulents as a gift! :D) , your videos helped me alot and I would sometimes go to your channel when I needed help or I had a problem with my plants, just, thank you so much.. I wish you the best in life!!
Belated Happy birthday! What I would give to be 17 again. ☺ There is a lot to learn in growing these plants. You're lucky to have an early start. I wish I discovered them when I was your age. Thanks so much for watching and I'm wishing you all the very best for the future.
I was given my first aloe at 18 from an awesome botanist (he has since passed). I still have the plant at 43. To be 17 again - my heart ahhh @LMseasons
I'm wishing you and The Boss an easy winter! I've been going back and watching your older videos and honestly I'm just amazed at how much I'm learning. You really could teach a masterclass on houseplant care and maintenance. You're amazing 💙💙💙
I wish I was as successful as you are at growing succulents...cause I do love them! But alas all I do is plant the new ones, and hope for the best. I do love your videos!
Hi Liz, love your videos! Can you pls share some info about how you collect your pots, you have such a large and interesting variety, i don't know where to start & they can be very expensive😢. Also how you choose a pot for each plant would be great thankyou!🌵🌾🪷

Liz, I really admire these beauties as they are the outcome of years of experience and care. I'm wondering if you could clear this doubt for me please,Do these succulents get affected by water droplets that settle on them and does this water cause any rot of leaves or stems? (for most are hybrids)
In my experience, it pays to know the individual needs of each plant/succulent. Even same species such as Echeveria, have different needs. Some likes water (thin leaves) and others (agavoides) prefers less watering. Top watering doesn't hurt the plants but more of unsightliness, especially with the ones that have thick Farina like Echeveria Laui as an example. I top water all my succulents. In saying that, it all depends on the soil mix used and also the type of pot being use. Also depends on the area you live in when it comes to humidity and season.
Wow! Thank you very much Liz for replying to me and for your precious time. I'm Lucky to get such valuable information which I think you won't find in text books, too for free. 🙏🌸
Hello Ms. Liz! I recently found your channel and have learned tons from you since I started watching. I love taking care of my succulents and talk to them on my way out the door every day. 😂 On this video, I have a question. What do you do with the flower you pull out at the end so it doesn’t die? One of my babies is growing a flower and I have heard it’s best to remove it to keep the rest of the plant healthy. Is there a way to propagate it without killing it? Love the way you talk to your babies!
It all depends on the different types of succulents. Aeonium or sempervivum as an example are monocarpic which means they'll die after flowering(only the flowering rosette). These ones featured on the video doesn't die when it flowers. Each leaf that formed on the stem can be harvested and grown into another plant.
Hi! Stumbled on this video and channel when i was googling how to propagate my sedeveria mini bell - I picked up a heap of succulents recently and only just discovered the world. So i haven't any experience, but suddenly the mini bell had a kink in its stem like someone squished it. and it started to dry up(rot?) and all the leaves suddenly dropped. Coincidentally i'm Australia based at the moment too, and judging by when you posted this I picked up mine the first week of June as well, when winter rains started. I haven't watered it since but i presume that this is a sign of rot , can it usually take 3-4 weeks onset for it to suddenly dry up (stem wise) and leaves to drop? I've since cut the stem above the dried up portion to propagate. And i have all the leaves that had just dropped off. Just out of curiosity are your paper towels dry or moist/damp that you put the leaves on to propagate? So far the only propagation i've done is a ghost plant from May that i knocked leaves off in the car accidentally bringing it home. They grew roots and babies when i buried them in the soil, and i've just discovered this was a big no no as i buried them immediately and didn't give it 24 hours to callous over, or to grow roots before i planted them. But i think i got lucky as ghost plants propagate easily. With harder succulents like the mini bell should I also be leaving them in containers with paper towels? So far i've been leaving leaves on top of the top rock (mai fan stone) on my existing pots... but worried that this isnt' conducive to encouraging roots? likewise they get sunlight during the day (indoor , by the window) - should leafs be left out of indirect sunlight until rooted? ALso interested to know what you think of the top dressing with stones. Ive read conflicting things, where some say it keeps the moisture in and rotting ensues, fungas gnats love them. While others have said the stones help keep things like fungas gnats out? ALso what soil or potting mix are you using? Being a fellow Australian based... i'vebeen using the succulent and cacti potting mix from Yates from Bunnings, but have since heard these succulent soils aren't good for use by themselves? Do you mix 30-50% of other matter like perlite through, or you find our Australian potting mix decent quality to grab off the BUnnings shelf? Excited to meet another Aussie on here too! Thanks!
Sedeveria Minibell is an easy succulent to grow. If bent, remove and dry and it will hopefully recover. The leaves will germinated in a couple of weeks, The paper towel is dry. No water for leaf propagations until it grow roots. For this plant, I recommend using any standard premium potting mix and added 25% perlite. Good luck.
So Maam rotting is not just only applicable to rainy season? My succulents during summer stem rot and then this rainy season in Manila made it even worst😢was trying to salvaged what i think is ok😢
This is the importance of having a well draining soil. That way, it can be watered in whatever season and the plants will be happy. In summer, if "SOME" succulents are kept dry for too long and they need a drink, they will rot or drop leaves to provide water for the other important parts of the plant (the new growth or top). It's not true that succulents don't like water. They actually like water or rain. But there are some that doesn't like water during certain period; as an example, the Monroe in this video. That plant prefers to be watered only when the soil dries up. Pachyphytum loves water all the time provided the soil drains well. Hope this make sense.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK oh i see. My soil mix are what they called Alder Alnust compost i think that is from dried bark tree, pumice stone, rice hull and vermicas but my observation it rots😰
