Hi! Thank you so much for your kind words. I’m so sorry that I wasn’t able to see your comment at that time. It’s actually been eight months since then😢. I’m not sure if you’ll see my reply, but I just wanted to thank you for supporting me. It means a lot to me. I’m planning on making another video, and I hope you’ll enjoy it just as much as the last one!
@@SucculentPalette Oh hello!!! What a nice surprise to see your reply. I'm so happy to hear that! Yay I'm so excited for the new vid, I'll be keeping an eye out for it :) Hope you're doing well!
Hi, great video! I wanted to ask wether cold nighttime temperatures on their own are enough to get color; I'm in Germany and in Spring right now at night it gets below 4°C, but during the day the temperature gets warmer, a little above 10°C most days So would my succulents still develop color if it's only below 4°C half the time?
Could you do a video on succulent acclimatization, such as the how-to and how long? I’m trying to stress my succs but all I did was get their leaves burnt or become really dry
Moooooooore videos!!!!!! This is exactly what I've been looking for !!! Finally!! Thank you so much I will be trying this with my succulents. I have unfortunately abused them, ignorantly. Hopefully this is the summer to grt them thriving and back on track after a horrible winter
I'm glad that I can help! Don't worry, I've been there too, just work on the fundamentals. If you have questions you can write me here and I'd be happy to help.
@@SucculentPalette thank you so much, I look forward to future videos. Is your rule about pot size even for large pots. I have a echeveria that is about 6 inches wide but in a 4 inch pot, should I upsize?
@@amandaf8465 I think that would depend on what look you're trying to cultivate, as well as the lighting conditions that you have. If the light is strong & you like the more extreme look in the 2nd example, you could keep it there and let it develop toward more extreme coloration. If you're happy with color and want to let it continue growing, you could upsize and the color would moderate a bit, until it becomes limited by pot size again.
Thankyou for your videos 😁💖🌸 your plants are stunning. I am only starting my succulents journey a month ago. I look forward to more of your videos. You are sharing perfect info for growing beautiful plants thankyou
tysmm this video was very helpful and informative!! may i ask on tips for how to make succulents pink/ more prominent in anthocyanin in a country where its summer all year round?
Hi! Sorry I just saw your comment. If the weather in your area is really hot, it's definitely much harder to get pink color. Without cold stress, it means all the colors only rely on the sufficient sunlight to accumulate. But too much sunlight will possibly break down some anthocyanin, which would turn the color into more orangey and yellow. That's something we can not avoid. Besides that, you can choose the varieties of the succulents. For example, agavoides is not a typical species that will show pink color after stress. Species like E. blue bird & E. peacockii will be likely to be thrilled in the hot weather, and because they are base color is blue tone & have think farina, they are more likely to get pink color after stressing.
love the video! great knowledge to have thank you for sharing it with all of us. i just got my own sedeveria blue elf in the mail so holefully by next year ill help it gain more colors. and one last thing. did i finally find a succulent youtuber in the bay area? if so then alot of your out door tips will work perfect for me
Thank you, I’m glad that I can help. Bay Area weather is pretty good for achieving the characteristics that we like. Let me know if you have any questions!
Is it still possible to get coloration on succulent if I live in tropical climate area? Considering the temperature is hot (above 30 C during day time) and humid all year round
Hi! I would say 30C day time is not too hot, but what really matters is if it can cool off a bit at night. Regarding the humidity, it might not be all bad... If you use more gritty soil, you could probably water very little, and the humidity could even help to promote strong a strong root system.
@@bernadeth2520 if you see my video on watering, observe the condition of your plants, and you can find what should work for you. If it is naturally humid out, I think you could try letting the outer ring of leaves get even softer than I had shown in the video. If night temps can get down to 10-15c, it should be sufficient to put on really nice color.
@@SucculentPalette Great! thanks for your info. Unfortunately here, the night temperature range only around 20 C. But still, many thanks. You got new subs!
so the extreme light comes from sun? is the heat from the sun really okay, and how many hours a day do I need to put the succulent under the direct sun? and what's the best time . btw thank you for all the information ;)
Hi! So the lux number you saw is from the sun. Extreme heat should be prevent if it's in summer season. (In the summer care video, I talked about the basic idea of the temps, you can take a look.) If you can provide 6-7hours/day, it's already pretty good. In hot weather, try to avoid direct sun at noon. In cold weather, give them as much direct sunlight as you can.
It depends. If the succulent has the potential to express orange color(which I mean genetically), then you can expose it to lots of sunlight and try to slow down its growth to achieve that. But not every species can. Some just not have enough orange pigment in their leaves.
I'm living in South East Asia and my indoor succulents are not getting enough sunlight that they are losing colors. Can you help recommend the best grow light to solve my problem? Many thanks.
Hi! Thank you so much for trusting me! I’m not an expert on indoor grow lights either. But currently, I’m setting up my indoor section. I moved some of my succulents indoors several weeks ago (and doing some experiments.) Hope I would be able to share some best practices about it in the future.
Hi, I bought them from different sellers. There're a bunch of rare korean succulent shops on Etsy, which are already imported so you can get them pretty quickly.(like the shop called RareSucculents) You can also find korean nurseries on IG.(like Ksucculents) If you choose to buy succulents directly from them , you'll need to purchase a certificate to import plants. (That'll be an extra cost on shipping too.) There's also website like succulentsdepot that has rare succulents. If you have a specific variety that you want to get, I would recommend just searching it on google to see what is available.
Hi I come from a hot country summer all day. I’m I able to achieve the pink coloration without Low temperature? also does the pink stay or I have to keep the succulent stress?
Hi! So first, you need to keep them stressed to keep the pink color. If they are lack of sunlight or having too much water for too long, they'll lost the beautiful color and compact shape. Second, you may achieve the pink color without Low temperature on some species. Like my E.peacocki - it can show pink color if you can provide sufficient sunlight. But for a lot of echeveria, they do need low temp, such as elegans. If the weather is warm in your area, they'll express more orangey color rather than pink color. This is because carotenoid (which is the yellow/orange color come from) is a stronger color pigment in hot weather.
@@SucculentPalette mind if I ask sufficient light is it about 18hrs? Which means I need to provide additional lighting time on top of the usual daylight
@@zozanthonyzoz 18 should be enough even maybe too much for the plants. Because different lights have different intensity, the best way to know is to see what the succulents react. If you already control the water but their leaves are still widely open and showing all green, you can try to add more light. (Don't forget use smaller pot if you want to stress them)
I would prefer using fertilizer in spring & autumn when the weather is cooler and succulents are more comfortable & active. You want to do very low density with several applications. If your aim is to have them grow in size, I think the miracle gro indoor(the green bottle one) is a good start. For color, you don't really need fertilizer.
Do you mean the pigments that I mentioned? They are not from fertilizer. They are naturally in the plants that can be promoted if the environment is suitable.
Hi! I'm working on a sedum succulent to record the progression. After 3 months, it starts to show some color. I'm considering making it as my next video.
If you mean root rot from watering, the most important thing is the ventilation. Without good ventilation, it's very hard to prevent rotting. If you keep them indoor, you may need have a fan to increase the air flow.
Can you Please explain what happened with the Blue elf? Mine are growing now in rain sk they're all very green and big, I'm worried if they'll show colouration during winter?
Hi, sorry I can't fully understand your question. I'll try to answer. To help it show more color, you need to limit growth. You mentioned that they got a lot of rain and they are green and big. That means they got too much water, so they focus on growing size rather than color. And I think there might not be enough sunlight as well. My blue elf gets 7-8 hours direct sunlight in summer season.
@@SucculentPalette Thank you for replying! I wanted to know if getting too much water and growing big in summer would cause it to have less colour when temperature drops and start watering less? I hope it makes sense. Usually we stress them for colours in cooler and drier season right. Also I've it under 50% uv shade bc our temperatures crosses 40 sometimes so it gets burnt.
@@protosucculent For the first question: yes, it is. It will take much more time to let the color out in winter if you do not control water & size in summer. (Also, the bigger the plant is, the more time it needs to show color) If you put your succulents under UV shade, then they should need less water, because there is not as much water evaporation as when they are under direct sunlight.
Yeah, cold temperature is quite important to bring pink color. But I feels like the sunlight density should be pretty nice in your area. Do you consider to grow some species outdoor?
Thank u for this video! I also follow u on insta, i love ur succulents so much. I bought an elegans alba beauty bcuz of u🤦 Do u think theres a difference between albabeauty and alba?😬
I have pieces of both and I would say that there are slight differences in color, but they should have very similar growth & structure. Alba & Alba Beauty should have a distinct red tip.
Pot size only has to do with soil drying fast, root system has nothing to do with coloration. You're living in CA, unless you put your plants in organic soil, you have to do absolutely nothing for them to properly color. Refrain from giving false information please.
'Refrain from giving false information please.' This is also for you. You ignored that the pot size is only one element, it needs to match with your local weather, how gritty the substrate is and the watering method you choose. I've done a lot of tests on my succulents which could prove how important pot size matters. With the same conditions and same species, small pot size can significantly reduced the overall time of coloring up. Please respect other people's effort especially If you haven't really tried it like I do.
@@lordshitpost31 Bigger pots for growing size & developing multiple heads, smaller pots for controlling the shape & the best color. I didn’t make this up, its just basic knowledge for succulent keepers in China and Korea. I don’t know how you test it, but it works for me and a lot of people. There may be some detail that you’re missing, but you won’t get anywhere just labeling it ‘false’.
