Yay! I’ve missed your videos because it’s been too hot to do much here in the northern suburbs of Perth besides stream videos. I definitely would be interested in rewilding videos & collecting seeds. I’m in suburbia & grew mainly natives on our bare suburban block when we first moved in because I wanted to keep the birdlife happy. They love it. My bottlebrush tree dropped seeds into a pot of garlic I was trying to grow and it must’ve liked the rich soil because lots of bottlebrush seedlings popped up! I don’t have any room to grow another tree so I will give them to neighbours & friends. I have a busy mind too & I find succulent gardening, growing herbs and cooking very calming. Looking forward to your content and also I wouldn’t mind picking up a copy your Echeveria books this year. Happy new year & thank you for all your content & knowledge. Much appreciated. 🙏🏽🪷🌾🪴🌵🌸🌷🎍🌼

Sempervivum are also more of a morning sun lover or 50 percent shade cloth lover in summer... they have really appreciated my shade cloth along with my Aeonium which I think would have died if I didn't have them under cover this summer. Others have stretched under the shade cloth, all the chubbies especially my Pachyphytum need more sun than this.
@marialakshmi2330Күн бұрын
My big dark Aeonium like A purple rose and A black rose are fine in full sun but all the smaller hybrids, variegated ones and A lily pad are getting crisped leaves even under 50 percent shade cloth now we are over 100 degrees F. Hopefully they will all bounce back in autumn.

I would never have guessed that overthink and stress, you sound so calm in your videos. In fact, I come to watch your videos when I need to calm down. One day, I will find the time to catch the train up to the Blue Mountains and buy some of your gorgeous succulents. Hope Pepper gets better soon. Have a wonderful 2025.

So happy to see you again, Kat! I’d love to see more about collecting seed and growing bush plants. I’ve been growing California native plants for 20 years to restore the landscape and to decrease water use. I’m thrilled that you will be doing this in Australia. Healthy is the basis for all living beings.

So happy to see this video. I am one who hasn’t been receiving although subscribed. But I still check…. Succulents are pretty much all I have been growing in my limited space for years. I wish I had access to all the lovelies you grow, as well as the cool pots and vessels you display. They make me happy looking at them… If I could go to just one of your shows…. I have searched all over, finding nothing available to even order comparable. But enough lamenting… I must say, you are a fascinating woman. I’ve been looking back at your past videos, since I’ve only found you as of late. So much information, and many talents and ideas. I am truly in awe. And happy you are making the attempt to follow your dreams and convictions. My prayers for you and your family and peppery friend for the new year to come. All the best!🐝

Happy New Year and I hope Pepper is doing much better now. I love your paintings and the fact that it helps you cancel out the noise of an overactive mind is the best part. I can get lost for hours in my garden and it provides the same benefits as your painting does. As always I look forward to your new videos this year

The video I've been aching to see! So wonderful to see a new video, in a new year, with a new goal ahead. Your passion for rewilding your surroundings is so inspiring to see, and very keen to follow that journey as well. Your succulents just look so amazing in your local market store stall, just makes me want to create so many different arrangements too. Most excited about the e-book and learning so much about the trade, as I'm wondering if my passion could evolve into something profitable as well, or if I should just keep it as a hobby in my area. Sad to hear about doggo, but glad to see that it is well taken care of. 😁Animals and plants are a source of joy and fulfillment. Welcome back in the new year, and may the KZbin gawds favour your algorithm.

it looks like you start with damp or wet soil? Is that what I am seeing?
@SucculentGrowingTips3 күн бұрын
Yes, all potting mix should be slightly damp. If you buy it from the shop, it will be like this out of the bag as well. A completely dry potting mix would be hydrophobic and difficult to rehydrate.

@@SucculentGrowingTips I have a few cuttings going now and idk if I should get the soil damp again. I did start with wet or damp soil, I am growing under grow lights using the Samsung 301 LEDS in a 150 watt fixture. What I am noticing is the lower leaves on some of the rosette succulents are dying and falling off but the center is actually growing with no roots yet. I had them in soil for a week now and its my first succulent rooting. It's so much easier to root a succulent than a conifer or anything else. I am a fairly new Certified Nursery grower, I have around 500 trees, all conifers and jap maples.

Helpful video! I seem to be unlucky with my kalanchoes catching frost and then rotting. Either the stress of shipping from a temperate climate to my cold climate is too much even with a heat pack, or my care strategy that works well for echeverias is off in some way for kalanchoes!

Do you know if root mealies can spread through the water with bottom watering if you share the water? I saw a root mealie with my eyes for the first time yesterday. The size and color of a grain of sand but moving 😳 I was spraying the whole plant with metho / alcohol. A few sensitive ones got a bit of burn spots like sunburn. I did dilute it but only 20 percent water 🥵
@SucculentGrowingTips23 күн бұрын
This is just my opinion as i haven't seen them do that with my own eyes but i dare say it's very possible. Root mealies will live even in waterlogged pots and don't seem to drown easily. There's tablets and drenches you can do for root mealies- they only need to be applied to the soil..

@SucculentGrowingTips26 күн бұрын
Sure:) The easiest way is through cuttings. They should have at least 4-6 leaves. Bigger the better. Propagation is best done Spring-late Summer. I'd recommend to put any propagations under 30% shadecloth if propagating in summer. Hope this helps :)

If it goes below freezing you need to bring most succulents in for the winter. Sempervivums and sedums will survive the snow but others no... most are either a 9 or 10 growing zone in the USA. I am a 10 zone here and even I bring variegated bearpaws and E frillies inside over winter ❄❄❄
