Let me just mention that the background piano music for this vlog is so relaxing 💕
I love it too. I've nearly fallen asleep a few times with this music. It's called 'Angel's dream' from UA-cam Audio Library.
Love your videos! Especially when you show the progress of you succulents and the final results of your techniques 💛💚
Glad you like them!
this is very helpful. the exact dehydrated plant is something i cant figure out why my plant keep being dehydrated...thanks liz
It would just mean that your soil mix dries up really quick and when it is that type of soil mix, then water your succulents more often(bottom soak).
You have so much magic you bring plants back to life. I want a garden like your
You're funny Rosa...😍
Thankyou Liz, each day I visit your program and so enjoy the information and knowledge you have to share on succulents. As you wonder around your garden showing us such a variety of beautiful plants, sometimes you come across a plant that I have recently purchased and are able to answer queries I have about it. Thanks for making my days so bright.
You are so welcome Kerrie and thank you very much for watching.
Never apologize to a spider. Great video. Gives me hope to save my neglected few
I leave some spiders in my garden or plants because they eat the nasty insects that are in my plants. Very effective on gnats as well.
Ver nice succulent garden!!!
Thanks for watching.
Wow what a difference.. Great tute Liz
Beautiful! 😍
Thank you! 😊
Good morning from Jamaica I love this one too so beautiful ❤❤❤ nice to see you blessing to you
Good evening almost here in Australia. Thanks for watching.
Such a lovely and helpful video ✨✨🥰🥰
Thank you. Glad it's helpful.
Amazing succulent ,,,... just a piece 😍
Thanks so much 😊
I really love how your plants turn beautiful magically 👍👍
Thanks Cent. It's called neglect....LOL I don't fuzz over them too much. The more I look after them, the more they die on me.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK and its not even a secret 😂
And btw I made a different experiment. I made a different version of your master soilmix.
I replace DG with a different mixture compose of 1 part pumice 1 part kanuma 1/2 part vermiculite 1/2 perlite then mix it together.
Then I followed your mixture replaced DG with the one I made then added some humic acid & an organic fertilizer composed fish extract/sea weed. Potted 14 plants to really see if its fine. Then I also potted 2 other plants with the mixture I made with pumice and my own version of master soilmix.
Hoping to see good results.
My main focus would be to stabilize them and make them root since mosy of the plants I bought are with bare roots.
Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing lovely Liz :D
My pleasure 😊
I’m a beginner po. I really love your advice and tips. Daghan Salamat po. Love from Japan 🇯🇵
You're so welcome!
Wow that Bonsai form 😍😍😍😍😍 i should find soil wetter here, i find some of my succulents are malnourished LOL im so scared to drench them in water i always think they will die 🤣🤣🤣 but your method looks great i should give it a go 😁😁😁
Nice information thank you so much dear Lizk!
Glad it was helpful!

thankyou! I found succulents marked down. per your inspiration. I bought enough to fill a planter. Hopefully I wont kill them !
LOL...You go girl.
Big lesson to learn, thinking about root rot I’m scared to soak succulent in water for too long. Thank you!
It can be scary. There is a saying that goes...."No guts, no glory." Don't take my word for it. Just making jokes with. you.
Growing Succulents with LizK 😀
Thank you Liz -now I know the name of this plant graptopetalum purple haze .
You're welcome Susan. This has been a long time coming. I've lost sleep over the name of this plant.
I'm trying this with a severely dehydrated sun burned ghosty. I dug it up from my garden and placed it in a 5 gal bucket, and added some sea kelp fertilizer because I cannot find your product here in the States. Wish me luck.
Good luck!
Hi Liz, thank you for being so patient and organised doing this in a span of more than half a year in order to show us the results. Could we do this during summer too? ( soaking the pots overnight) 🌷
You can do this in summer too. But you have to wait for the video for that as summer approaches coz it can be a bit tricky. You're plant can melt if you water in the wrong time/temperature.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thank you, Liz! I will patiently wait for the video 🥰🌷
Thank you for the watering tips!
You are so welcome!
Beautiful presentation Ma'am Lizk
Thank you!
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK You're welcome 😊
Very nice presentation Liz❤️❤️❤️. Your succulents watering/soaking method was a great success. A lot of us are now confident that our babies are not going to die and able to salvage them happily.
I myself, have killed many for overwatering 😢. I guess it’s a lesson I learned on my first year growing succulents and cacti.
Thank you so much Liz for making these video for us all. I love you Sweet Lady ❤️❤️❤️
My pleasure as always Mila. Thanks for watching.
This great information Liz. I would have been scared to soak my succulents..but I’ve purchased some sea soil soil wetter and keen the give It a go. Thanks for sharing.
You'll love it and your succulents will love you for it.
Wow that awesome Liz! I wonder if it will works here in the Phil :)
Try mo lang pero yung mga mura at maraming tanim mo lang muna. Good luck.
perfect video, just what I needed! If the soil takes 3-4 days to dry once fully plumped, is that roughly safe from getting water damage? i may need to switch to granite instead of turface to speed the drying up...
but be careful because my jelly beans are throwing off so many air roots because my soil is actually drying and draining too fast! I couldn't figure out what the hell was wrong and that's what it ended up being. Because it's a single plant in a small small pot that it just wasn't able to absorb enough water fast enough before it all dried up so sometimes our soil can be too much fast draining soil LOL
Depends on the plant(diva-non diva)/weather/temperature/humidity....My soil mix can dry up really quick or stay moist for a long time. That's why I only water my mature plant around four times a year in the drought.
A good succulent soil mix should be able to hold water and also repel it from the roots. That way, the plant have access to water when it needs it. It's not the wetness of the soil that causes root rot but the media around the roots holding water all the time. You can have root rot as well even if the soil is completely dry.
That is the problem with sand(retains water) and the advantage of the coco peat plus decomposed granite(holds the water but keeping it away from the roots).
I'm not familiar with turface but if I haven't got decomposed granite, I would be using pumice with coco peat instead or whatever media I have. May I suggest you experiment with cheap plants and find out the result yourself since I can't vouch for the outcome since I'm in a different environment from you. Also try to get hold of a seaweed plus compost soil wetter or you can also use agar for watering your plant.
This is a lot of info to take in I know but all I can say is...be brave little one. If the plant dies then you'll know what you've done wrong. Good luck.
Growing Succulents with LizK
The pumice is a bit expensive and not easy to buy, do you recommend perlite with coco peaks instead?
@@thuyluu3557 I would prefer using pumice over perlite because it's heavier and better in keeping the roots in place. Perlite can easily get wash off and when watering can float to the top and disturb the roots. Maybe try Kanuma instead. Almost same density as pumice but cheaper.
Hi Mis Liz, ist alright to Handle seasol and power feed with barehands? Thank you
Been using Seasol for a long time and have used in on vegetables as well as ornamental plants. Some people can be sensitive to it but I haven't had any issues. Always good practice to wash hands after handling any of these products especially fertilizers.
Thanks for the videos. Is there anyway I could send you a picture and you tell me what it is? It looks like the one you had that you were talking about the name. I have tried to figure out the name but I've been told many namea. I need to report but I don't know how to repnames. Thanks so much!
I love your garden!❤️
Will this method work if I don't add soil wetting agent?
Takes a little longer but it still works.
Hi Liz! Do you have a soil wetter recipe for agar agar? It’s been difficult trying to find a commercial soil wetting agent where I live.
DIY AGAR AGAR soil wetter
Dissolve agar in warm water (not hot) to dilute to consistency of "runny" custard or PVA glue. Take 1 cup of this dilution and add to 4 liters of water.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thank you!
What a wonderful succ💕 i wonder how much sunlight did your plants get to achieve those colors? Mine just get from 7am-1pm and they're turn to green nowadays :( .
Love from Indonesia💞
Thanks for watching. They get full sun except the Echeveria Laui which is grown in the shade.
Such a helpful video, thank you Liz. I don’t get the soil wetter here, but you mentioned it’s seaweed extract and organic compost kept in water? I could mix it for a few days and then use it as a soil wetter? Oh and the music is mesmerizing!
You can try and see. Please let me know how it works out. Thanks!
How to make a soil wetting agent? What particular seaweed can i use? Thank you

Once you water the one that shrunk the second purple Haze will it get bigger again? I mean, I know it'll get bigger because it's going to be hydrated but will it take it out of the Bonsai form? I have to stop watering my plants. I just thought about that yesterday I watered a few, and realized even though the soil was dry they looked fine. I think I just wanted to get one more watering in before they went to sleep 😉
No it doesn't revert back unless you keep it in the shade or give it too much fertilizer. My chubby bonsaied plants all get a good soaking when they need it and that's how they stay plump and small.
Hi Lizk! Beautiful babies you got!
I trouble of watering. I have extremely dehydrated echeveria. I've been soaking them for almost 4days now,and still doesn't seem to have progress.. what should i do? I'm scared of their getting root rot. Cause I'm in tropical high humidity.
Try and find soil wetter of any type. Seaweed or compost base plant tonic will also help in rehydrating extremely dry succulents. Root rot happens more on dehydrated succulents than well watered ones. May I suggest to watch the video below to get a better understanding on how this works.
HOW TO DEAL WITH SUCCULENT ROOT ROT - ua-cam.com/video/XsudetdWud0/v-deo.html
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Thank you!
What kind of water you used ?
Kumusta Liz, I received a Echiveria Melaco in the mail that was dry like potato chips. I removed it from the pot and have been soaking for 2 days. The leaves seem like they are hydrating. Should I let it dry out before replanting, or how much longer can it stay in the water to make sure it is totally hydrated? Does the Melaco have thinner leaves? They are not very thick. This is my first thin leaf Echeveria. Fact is I am a novice. Salamat po
They are thin leaves Echeveria. Once the leaves are not soft to the touch, you can plant it in soil.
Another trick... Keep checking the roots everyday to make sure it's still white. If any signs of greening(rotting) on the tips, take it out of the water and plant in soil. Good luck.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Keep making these videos I enjoy so much......
Hi Liz. Thank you so much for all these videos. I am learning some things from you and I really appreciate your help.
I do have a question. Did I understand you to say that you haven't watered that succulent for 7 months? I am wondering if it has been rained on in that time or had some kind of moisture? I live in the Texas Panhandle and it is so dry here. It also gets very hot and very cold. I keep most of my succulents in the house except for some that I take outside to enjoy in the summer but I have to keep them in the shade or they burn under our hot Texas sun. I do have some grow lights in my house because my windows are very tinted. I have tried allowing them to get dry like you did in between watering and I have let some sit in water (I haven't tried this watering mix before.). But, when I do this, the bottom leaves still dry up and fall off and I'm left with a plant that has a smaller main stem at the top and they don't ever seem to get thickened back up. Then, my little plant takes on a very odd look. Is this because they are not getting enough moisture or enough light or both or neither. Also, what part of the world do you live in? I just began watching your videos about 3 weeks ago and I've watched several of them, now, but I haven't heard you mention where you live. 🙂
Thank you, again, and I will keep watching you and learning from you. 😘
I grow most of my succulents outside. I'm from Canberra, Australia and we get extreme temperatures. Winter temperature can go down up to -11°Celcius or 12°Fahrenheit and Summer temperature can go as high as 45°Celcius or 113°Fahrenheit. Last year we had drought and hardly rained except during winter. This year we had bush fires and then floods and now been raining on and off since February.
The 7 month plant lives outside and because where I placed it, hardly gets rained on and gets morning and afternoon sun. Once the bottom leaves dries up, it won't plump up or grow from the bottom but new leaves will form on top and the plant becomes leggy, therefore the 'Bonsaied Look.' The opening plant in the video is grown under normal water when dry condition so it has a lot of leaves but compact.
Those fires must have been awful for everyone and every living thing! I'm glad you got some rain. It was much needed and deserved. California, well, the whole west coast and Colorado are having fires and we are getting smoke from them here! Sometimes, it is thick enough that you can see it between my house and the houses across the street! That's a lot of smoke to travel this far and still be so thick! We get colder than you do where I am. We can get below 0°F and we go above 100°F many if not most years. I can't leave any of mine out except for sempervivums. They need some afternoon shade to make it.
Thank you for the explanation about the 2 plants. That helps. 🙂
Enjoy your springtime. I am loving our weather this fall. It's still nice and warm during the day but cooler temps at night. The leaves on the trees are changing slowly and it's so pretty!
Happy gardening!!!❤🙂🙏
Thank u lizk
You're welcome 😊
Thank you so much Liz for the very helpful information. Did you dilute the seasol super soil wetter with water or just straight from the bottle? What is the ratio? I am planning to get it from Bunnings.
Just follow the instructions on the back of the label. Cheers
Hello Liz. So I only started caring for succulents about a month ago. I'm learning as I go, but I have a couple Haworthia species that were nice and green when given to me and now they're much dryer. Would it be safe to leave them overnight in a huge plate of water? I read in several places that can make it go overwatered
Dry haworthia will soak up water really fast. I normally soak mine until it's plump. Depending on how dry....it can take a couple of hours to a couple of days. A liquid seaweed solution also helps in the uptake of water.
Wow mom i love the color mom your echeverria
How do I water baby succulents when I transplant them to a pots, do I continue to mist or water like a regular bigger succulent?
When I transplant baby succies to a bigger pot, that means they're big enough to be watered only when they need it. Otherwise, below are links to a couple of videos that might help. Thanks for watching.

Another great video Liz. Can't believe you didn't watered it for 7 months, poor little thing but you brought it back...yeah☺
I have a habit of wanting to water and need to keep myself from doing it, when they can hold off for a little longer. I don't like to stress them too much. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing?
BAD!!!....LOL Only water when they need it. The biggest killer of succulents worldwide is over watering. I am proof that with a little bit of neglect, they do better. I only ever killed a few when I started because of the soil mix I was using. Now I jump up and down when we have too much rain and I get root rot so I can show it on the video...LOL
I believe Cubic Frost has a patent, so watch out when showing propagation off patented plants, as in most places it’s illegal to, even for personal use.
Thanks for the reminder.👍
What do you put in the water? It always looks so brown.

Hi mom im in the Philippine what did you put in water if you water them can you tell me mom thanks alot for charing your tips!
It's at 2:24 of the video. Thanks Monica.
If you don’t have Seasol can you hydrate with reverse osmosis water?
You don't need Seasol (brand of seaweed solution). Any seaweed solution will do or just plain water.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thank you very much.
Question, Can use salt water for any succulents plant?
Yes you can on salt water loving succulents.
🤩🤩💜
I had one of my succulents that I bought full of ants I cured it washed it dried it added cinnamon then I put it in there mix have it in quarantine so far one week do I add water?
What's the name of your plant?
We can not do that here in Philippines specially in lowland area .in a week or two if you don't water your plants it will die.So lucky you are maam Liz you were in a place which is well suitable for those kinds of plants (succulent) I 'll just kept watching your vlog and i will feel ok even i'm in the midst of feeling depressed. magsigi nalang ko pabalikbalik play sa imo vlog ug i feel nko nga naa ko nagsunod nimo nagpamati sa imong mga gisulti.
My understanding is that lowland areas have very high humidity. When humidity are high, the less you water since succulents can absorb moisture through the leaves. Pag sobrang tubig, high chance na mag root rot.
Hi! Is this also applicable to pachyphytum?
Yes. Any dry, wrinkly, dehydrated succulents.
Thankyou ❤️❤️
At the end of your video I’m confused you say the purple haze is flowering but it has long stems with no leaves so isn’t it just a leggy plant ..I am new to succulents
Hi Debbie, there are many different types/genera of succulents. Graptopetalum at the end of this video is just one of them. It's a bit like Roses and Irises. Rose flower has leaves on the stem and Iris don't. Some succulents like Echeveria and Graptopetalum have different flower forms. Echeveria/Rose can have some leaves on the flower stem and Graptopetalum/Iris will only have flowers on a leggy stem but no leaves.
Since you're new to succulents, I would advise to first find out what type of succulent you have to know how to care and grow them, since different succulents have different needs and flower forms.
Welcome to the world of succulents and may your journey be a wondrous one. Thanks for watching.
Do you sell any clippings?
Not at the moment.

My cubic frost after water stretch 😥
That means they need to be expose to more light but have to do it slowly so they don't burn.
I try getting soil wetter in my area and no luck, any suggestion substitute for soil wetter?
Where are you from Nenita? Maybe try buying online. Doesn't have to be the same brand or type. Try looking for Seaweed base 'LAWN/GRASS WETTING AGENT.'
