      @@johnnyAGardening First thing that comes to mind is how best to simulate natural light for optimal growth indoors. While I'm the type of person to try and keep my plants outside as much as possible I live in a climate where we experience all 4 seasons, so I eventually have to bring all my plants inside. I don't want to disturb their expectations too much with this transition, but I also have to utilize space which includes my basement. I understand grow lights are a thing, but I'm not learned enough to tell which lights might be best for the job, if at all.

    All my Haworthias are potted similarly to Lithops using mostly grit with very little dirt. My mix is composed of chicken/chick grit(both), pumice, and a small portion of garden soil. An 80/20 ratio of grit to soil.

So any washed sand that has no clay is what I will look for. I am located out of Fresno California. Central Ca.

    Great video! Love the way they look. Mine are grown in a hot Mediterranean climate. I know that watering should be withheld in the peak of summer (July to August in Northern hemisphere), but they are more susceptible to shriveling and drying at that time. Do you have hot summers too? How do you treat them at this time?

      We have hot summers as well, a Mediterranean climate but more moderate to hot than hot. In very hot summers and as thy are probably in containers which will dry more than if in the ground, I would think a little water once in a while will not hurt them, just don't overdo it. I will have a talk to James Lucas and get back to you.

      Will look into doing that, however it interferes with subtitles or those who use the. We will find a way...

    Can you re-use the old potting mix, for example, by adding some fertilizer, or treating it somehow? What do you do with all that old soil?

    • @johnnyAGardening
      @johnnyAGardening  4 роки тому +2

      Its best to at least mix 50% new soil when repotting, most growers use all new mix, The old soil can be used in the garden or in pots for less fussy plants.

    Hi my biggest doubt is alway the potting mix... now I’ve bought what I could find and it’s: pomice 3-8mm, lapillo (lava rock) 2-10mm, washes river sand 1-8mm, Perlite , coco coir, compost/peat moss potting soil. Now I’ve prepared a 2/3-1/3 grit to soil using 1 part of each of these 6 ingredients but it weights too much.
    DOES weight count? Is it a problem if the substrate is heavy in weight even when dry?

    • @johnnyAGardening
      @johnnyAGardening  3 роки тому

      Its hard to tell, however if it drains quickly and does not hold water then it should be OK. I think that ratios could be adjusted so here is the ratio of the ingredients that James uses.
      Haworthia potting mix
      * 6 parts succulent soil mix
      * 2 coir (coarse)
      * 1 part 3ml washed river sand
      * 1 part 1-3ml blend washed river sand (no clay or
      fines)
      * 1 part perlite
      * 1 part either 4 - 5 ml Scoria or 3 - 6 ml Pumice.

      In the description. As for Akadama, that depends where you live...

    Hi there. I was wondering what soil mix you use? I’m a beginner and I use a mostly inorganic mix of pumice, lavarock, cns, and akadama. But yours seem to have more plant material in it. I was hoping to get a few tips on making my mix better. Thank you.

      Hello Jim, in the notes below the video is a list of the ingredients used to make up the mix, along with some other resources.

    Love the video and this great plant! Can you tell us what type of fertilizer you are using? Thanks

    • @johnnyAGardening
      @johnnyAGardening  3 роки тому

      It is Osmocote Plus with some lime and a little pure nitrogen fertiliser. ONLY a small pinch, once a year, never over fertilise

    • @johnnyAGardening
      @johnnyAGardening  3 роки тому +1

      Yes, fairly much the same, always just a pinch, never over fertilise.
