When you head chop an echeveria, do you cut the entire rosette and just leave the stalk? Will it really sprout multiple new rosettes from the top? It feels a bit scary to chop the head off of my beautiful plant.
What is the percentage of your shade cloth? 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% I don't know what percentages they have available. What's better white or green? Thanks in advance.😊🌵
great tips there mate
Thanks Tim :) Hope your well :D
Do you moisten the mix before you start?. Hi Mrs M🙋🏼♀️
Hi Kim :) We have our mix outside, so it depends on if we have had rain recently and it moistens the potting mix. Most of the time the mix is dry, which I prefer, as I can put leaves into the mix straight away :D I hope that helps.
great tips. will try it to my romeo rubin one day
Thank you. They are slow to strike, but they can be done :)
I use cotton or tooth floss to behead my succulents, I find you can reach between the leaves really easily without damaging the head or leaves. If needed I tidy up with secateurs after.
I have propagated many succulents in both a mix or water, heads & leaves but every time I try with my Echeveria lilacina the leaves rot. I have a couple of them and they are healthy. I would love to hear any suggestions on why/what I am doing wrong? I follow the same practice I do with all my other succulents, I'd love to get some success.
Yes tooth floss or fishing line works really well too :) They may be getting a bit too wet the leaves. Try them in a mix and keep them a bit drier and see how you go :)
That neon breaker is spectacular! How old would the huge one be? Do you have a trick for keeping mealybugs away from leaf propagation? Mine always get attacked before long and I have given up on propagation this way. Also, do you have a special mix you use for leaf props?
Thank you :) The Neon Breaker would be about 3 years old. If you find mealy bug on your leaf prop, I would just use a 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and water mixture and see how that goes in treating any mealy bug. I just use my potting mix for our leaf prop and cuttings.
Serious question. I am leaving for about a week. Road trip to Arizona from California. Would I be wise to take my seedling lithops and succulent seedlings with me? My smartest stepdaughter is suppose to feed dogs and water plants but while I love the girls let's just say thank goodness they are pretty. I am afraid she will kill em and I finally got potential plants.
Hi Steve, thanks for your message. If your very worried about them not surviving, I would probably take them with you 🙂 it might put your mind at ease and help you enjoy your road trip 🙂 safe travels! 👍
Can you do a video on sedum?
Sure 🙂👍
How do you repot lilacina without damaging the powdery coating on the leaves?
Here is a link to a recent vid we did on plants with farina and repotting. ua-cam.com/video/6Kpt-GIA6f0/v-deo.html
Hope it helps :)
Sea salt? Like regular cooking salt? 🧂
Haha no definitely not salt! 🤣 Seasol is a liquid soil conditioner made out of seaweed and compost. Its great for root development.
