Do you have ideas or suggestions for the next section? I plan to feature large echeveria in the ground next.

[@vborja3877]

I love your plants the ones in ground and in the pots. The design is so nice with those big beautiful pots❤️your echeverias grow so abundantly 😀😱mine don’t grow that much although my other succulents do. I don’t understand that. But anyways. I love all your plants thank you for sharing😊🥰

[@anthonycooper3174]

If only you could post them all to the 🇬🇧. 🌵 ☀ 🌵 ☀. Looking good. Can't wait to see how they grow over your winter.

It's coming along nicely, I personally think having pots in garden beds, is a great way of displaying plants. You have staged them really well. I was also impressed when you mentioned me regarding my comment. You were able to pronounce my Surname. It's really quite easy, Zinn-hour. Many times I've had people coming up with strange pronunciations. When I worked in a supermarket after school I was called Miss Zinnia-lol, that's a 🌼 flower.

love love them pots....

[@arnaudollivier3522]

I am very happy to see your video again. great work!!! Always beautiful idea for your garden design if you sell plants I am happy to purchase some. I leave on a gold Coast let me know.

[@LeghornM]

Absolutely love it Chuck! Well done!

[@ZinAna47]

Mabuhay! New Subscriber here from Lakes Entrance Victoria. I am now so interested in succulents esp Echeverias. Hope you have a wonderful day!

[@marilynrich]

Chuck, take your left over plants and fill up the bowls. They will grow beautifully. You don’t need to plant so sparsely. Good luck!

[@Cerriscapades]

Thanks for the feedback Marilyn! Yeah I intentionally planted sparsely for now. I want the feature plants in the bowls to spread their roots first. I will add more cuttings in a month or two. That way I won't end up stunting their growth.

[@ladonnaastle3056]

Its coming together awesome Chuck. I Really like the pearls idea, that is something I would not have considered without seeing you do this. And yes pleaseeeeee - I could do with some more succulents, lol not--- haha noone ever has enough so yes please if you have a pack ready to go im happy to purchase one. I will contact you, Happy Succulenting

[@Cerriscapades]

Will message you within the week. I will have to figure out first how much of these I will be using.

[@jesucculents]

Great announcement on the plant sale 😄😄😄 but would prefer all the plants being used in the landscape, super dense planting 😁 Creating a mountain rage type mounding (Sierra Madre) with 2 tier planting levels. Then a continuation of the coral reef theme but with the gibbiflora hybrids mixed with a couple succulents with height

[@Cerriscapades]

Haha I am sensing a theme with your suggestions!

[@elkerose2560]

This looks amazing already!! So creative and will look amazing as it fills out!! Love your videos😊

[@EirlysMcLachlan]

I love how it's all coming together, looks great! I have to reset an Eche nodulosa this spring and I'll be using your tips (video 85) to do it. Wish me luck!

[@chrismc1975]

This is looking so beautiful already! I love the choices you made and the colourings in your cuttings definitely pop! I like the mountain range idea someone else said, and having the plants cascade down the other side. I'm in melb and would love a pack from you if there's enough 🤗

[@Cerriscapades]

Hey Christine, can you drop me a message at [e-mail]? Just so I can coordinate with you once I'm ready. I'm going to use some of these trays first then get rid of the rest.

Nag cute met dagidta annak mon.

[@chloe.bbbbbbb]

Are you going to add any top dressing ala Laura Eubanks around the plants?

[@Cerriscapades]

On the ground, at some point yes. As for inside the bowls, I plan to let the fillers take over. Once the main plants inside the bowls grow large enough or get established, I will add some more fillers in between the gaps.

[@batanghardinero1539]

nice to see it come along chuck, also i'm kinda curious, has echeverias beyonce, and crispate beauty reached australia's succulent market?

[@Cerriscapades]

Not sure I've seen them so far, but then again I haven't been looking at plant sales since 2020 😅😬

[@LuckystrikeGFXer]

I wanted to suggest Graptopetalum mendozae as a filler plant but I saw you have already added them which I find really great. I got some of them as well and fell in love with them. So maybe as a suggestion for the other area would be a section of them under a big Echeveria like one of the many gibbiflora hybrids you have. I am also considering adding more potting soil to my soil mix because I have trouble keeping my Echeveria hydrated in the greenhouse since it reaches 30°C+ quite easily during the time I am at work. What do you think about this? Also I wanted to ask you if you have any tips on growing Echeverias big, I have some Echeveria gibbiflora hybrids and I want them to grow as big as yours though I have no idea how I could help them to reach their max size beside waiting for them to grow. Regarding the discussion about pot usage, I am not in an ideal zone for Echeveria and many other succulents so I need to bring them indoors over winter otherwise I would risk them dying by frost. Though I want to experiment for the next winter keeping some in the ground and see how well they would do, maybe also some of them under a cover to keep frost away.

[@Cerriscapades]

Lots of questions, I love it lol! So for the echeveria size, I generally find that as long as you give enough space for roots (depth and breadth) then they will grow really big. This means regular-sized pots will inherently be a problem because they will run out "leg-room" after a year or so. Once the roots get long enough and start circling around and choke themselves, the plant will start starving and grow a lot more slowly. To keep them vigorous, resetting is needed. Either trim the roots or do a chop. Then watch them shrink for a while as they regrow roots before growing large again.

[@Cerriscapades]

As for altering your soil mix, I would try it but also keep watch because who knows how these plants react to having more water lol. I say as long as you can prevent fungi from growing, it is worth a shot.

[@LuckystrikeGFXer]

@@Cerriscapades Thanks I will keep that in mind and may experiment around with it.

[@LuckystrikeGFXer]

@@Cerriscapades Yeah during summer and autumn it should not be a problem but once winter arrives I might have a problem with humidity.
