    Another great video! I've got my haworthias in a bright, sunny window. Everything else is under T5 light and seems happy. I was afraid to put them outside for fear of pests, but was forced to when we lost power for over a week. They were unbelievably happier outside (but I did have spider mites within a couple days 😅). So next year they'll be going outside as soon as it warms up again.

      I understand that fear of pests and, they are pretty much inevitable outdoors to an extent, but yes, they do looove it 😅 May the pests never find your plants though 🤞🤞 Some people are extremely lucky and have very little trouble with pests 🙂

    Thanks Kat, the indoor succulents list is really helpful. There's a couple there I haven't explored, I'm looking forward to adding some new species to my indoor family 💚

    I’ve been growing some haworthias & a gasteraloe inside under growlights this winter. 12 hours on & off. The gasteraloe was getting root rot due to excessive rain but is recovering nicely now after 3 months. The haworthia was ruined by a rat which uprooted the whole cluster! It was heartbreaking because the cluster was large and looked so nice. I repotted it all & it’s slowly recovering. The growlights are adjustable in strength and I’ve found 30% strength of light is the right amount because 50% was causing stress colours to show. They’ll be going back into their shady corner of my garden soon.

      Ohh, the rats and mice have been crazy the past few years- i have a huge veg garden and they are having feasts in there 😭😅 So glad your plants are doing well under the lights and good to know about the intensity too!
      Thanks so much for sharing 💚

    Love your channel , are you aware the web link on the description is not working properly? Would love to know if ypu sell direct to the public as a few you show are not available in nurseries in Australia?

    • @SucculentGrowingTips
      @SucculentGrowingTips  2 місяці тому

      Thanks for letting me know- i'll try fix them
      I sell at markets in the Blue Mountains (Glenbrook and Lawson) and they are open for anyone but the nursery itself is wholesale (closed to the public) 🙂 Which ones were you after?

    Thank you! I live in Sweden and don't even have a balcony so growing succulents indoors is the only option for me. Would you even suggest removing the farina in order for them to convert sunlight (and growlight) to energy? I've got some echeverias and a pachyfytum (and some others ones without farina) so not really the ones you suggest for growing indoors. I've sometimes tried to remove dust with a brush, but it's difficult to not also remove the farina, and I also avoid getting water on the leaves since the airflow and light isn't the same as outdoors.

      Do you have grow lights? That is almost as good as the sun ☀️
      Please don’t rub the farina off on purpose. Echeveria should be fine under grow lights. Pachyphytum might stretch a little as I find them my most sun loving succulents ☀️
      Still not more than 12 hours grow light and then let them sleep for 12 hours 🪴

      @@marialakshmi2330 I've got one growlight hanging in the the window where I've got all of my succulents but not as close as 30 cm from the tallest leaves or in 12 h a day as suggested in this video. I've always been very careful with the farina, but if it protects the plant from sunlight outdoors, won't it do more harm than good? The owner of this channel (not sure of her name) even waters her succulents from above which washes the farina off, even though she grows them outside.

      I understand where you're coming from and it makes sense, but i would lean towards not disturbing the farina. Removing it could damage the surface of the leaf and you could end up with micro tears browning into scars. The farina will naturally grow thinner inside and the plants usually adjust. If your plants are doing well, it may be best to leave them. 🙂
