LET'S PLANT!
EP 125 - I planted lots of Echeveria in my garden, here are their IDs
I built myself a raised bed, and in this episode I finally got to start planting in it.
In this episode I discuss my very rough plans for the raised bed, and actually start planting in it!

Do you have suggestions for what I should name this frilly area? Let me know in the comments.

[@Ehijk25]

Frilly field.

[@Cerriscapades]

I like that, I'm a fan of alliteration!

[@erins.5420]

Frilltropolis......anyways your collection my friend....wow. I’m am curious to how you obtained what in my opinion are unicorns where I live or even online or in the entire country. And of coarse I’m also considering price into this factor, I’ve been guilt of spending into the $30-$40 for a young Korean succulent so I’m not stingy but I am realistic. So could you maybe go into your collection of when you started, your story so to speak and what you think your investment (plants alone) if you’re willing to share. Lastly. Where do you get your plants. Lol and how do we get them stateside.

[@Cerriscapades]

@@erins.5420 yeah that sounds like a good topic for a laid back ramble video. Also your Frilltropolis suggestion just gave me another idea - FRILLIPHINES! Haha!

[@erins.5420]

Cerriscapades FRILLIPHINES!!!!!! Love it!

[@arlenesimon6972]

Good day besides the plants i love how ypu bring the kids in the video bless

[@nattyssucculentlife8462]

The Frills area is absolutely stunning !!! 🌵❤️. I love that you’re planting them In ground. Such a great look. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Cerriscapades]

Thanks Natty!

[@ahmdav4637]

Wow. I didn't realise so many varieties of echeveria

[@Cerriscapades]

There's about 200 species, and over a thousand of cultivars and hybrids, with more being created by nurseries every year!

[@christmassnow3465]

The frilly area can be called "the sea anemones area" and a sea-scape diorama of marine life in a coral reef can be painted on the fence. Some succulents resembling marine life can be hung on the fence. For example, senecio string of pearls hanging basket will look like a jellyfish.

[@RuthiesSucculentObsession]

Omg frillys are quickly becoming some of my favorites. It looks amazing but let me get back to the video. Inwas too wxcited when I saw the thumbnail😊👍❤.

[@lyndon_gador1385]

Ruthie's Succulent Obsession same

[@Cerriscapades]

Haha, glad the thumbnail is doing its job! 😂

[@RuthiesSucculentObsession]

@@lyndon_gador1385 Omg aren't they just beautiful and interesting. I love all the bumpies😆. They also seem to have the most gradient colors in each plant. They are truly amazing.

[@melchorfabian9910]

I think adding some heights of plants or succulents near the fence will bring an appeal to your pathway and planting some small succinct infront of it will be nice

[@erins.5420]

Happy Birthday Ace!!!

[@angelallen9650]

superb job. this video gave sooo much plant envy. thanks for sharing

[@Cerriscapades]

You're welcome!

[@acebaluyut]

Wow!!!!! Thank you!!!! Super surprised!!! Easily my favorite video of all time!!! Salamat Chuck!!! Long awaited all frilly episode!!!

[@acebaluyut]

Didn’t know conspiring na pala kayo ni Joanne (misis)! Lol thank you again! Appreciate it mate

[@Cerriscapades]

Haha happy birthday bro! Siya may pakana ng lahat!

[@newmanmansell760]

Hi Chuck!😊👋Your succulent beds look much better👌😉You have a gritty mix with plenty of drainage so your Echeverias will truely thrive now!☺️

[@ToasterOvens]

Wow! You have so much Echeveria’s collection. Love your beautiful succulents garden, they’re all look amazing! Thanks for sharing this video and the info. Looking forward to next Vlog. 🌵🍀🥀

[@monahudson9501]

Your plants are beautiful. Enjoyed!

[@carolinaortega8334]

I love you garden ❤

[@christinesalvador3193]

😍 those succulents are a beauty. You’re a succulent guru!

[@sonetteandwesley6264]

Another beautiful video. Thanks Chuck for sharing this idea. I wish I had time to continue vlogging. i have an idea for your fence. Put some hanging plants like string of pearls, dolphins, bananas, or different species of hanging sedums. Just my idea tho.

[@Cerriscapades]

Yeah that's the plan! Trailing plants will work best along the fence.

[@julietaparfitt8776]

Wow lots of echeveria collection ,echeveria family

[@m.luizadomfarezin499]

Suas plantas estão lindíssimas parabéns pele cultivo, também cultivo e as amo muito abraços

Wow what an episode! If this doesn't inspire people to get planting I don't know what will! I just want to get home and get into the garden! oh and Chuck I recently put an old friend who is also getting into succulents onto your page.....I referred to you as the "Succulent Guru" :) I hope you don't mind!!!

Very nice and colourful succulents chuck, I would love to visit your place, I was interested and beginning to collect succulent,are you selling some of your cuttings and which part of Australia you live, cheers

[@analuisamachadochaves8142]

Perfeito!!!!

[@Cerriscapades]

Thanks!

[@yacozaco]

Good day, I am from Trinidad W.I and I recently started looking at your videos. I have fallen in love with ECHEVERIAS. On my island it is either sun or rain. How do I battle with the rain if I plant a garden similar to yours. I am now getting into succulents.

[@Cerriscapades]

Hi there. With rain, you'll want to prepare your garden bed in such a way that the plants will get good airflow, and good drainage. You can achieve this by raising your bed a bit and using a loose soil mix. Making a slope or putting the plants at a slight tilt also helps with directing airflow to the plant. If the plant gets enough airflow, they won't stay wet for too long, and this will reduce the chances of fungi growing. I think I touched on it in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWi7dICJqpuleqM As for the sun, as soon as it gets warm enough in summer (over 30°C / 86°F) I setup a temporary shade structure using shade cloth on top of them. Then remove it again after summer.

[@cheryllancett6592]

You have a lovely garden where are you located if you don't mind thank you you're so inspirational

[@marilynrich]

Chuck, I think you are planting them too close together. They will grow quite large in the ground. Some of mine are 18 inches wide! Lovely variety of echeverias!

[@Cerriscapades]

Oh yeah haha trust me I know how big they can get. I have a few that are over 22 inches wide 😂 I agree with you that they are a bit close together. But these are young plants and it is winter here so they won't be outgrowing their space anytime soon. I will definitely be removing some of them in summer, when they start growing rapidly, to make space. But as I mentioned in the video, my goal for this iteration is to see how they like this spot so I know what to do them in the next round of updates on this section.

[@maritzalopez7901]

It's the first time I've seen your It's the first time I've seen your channel I'm surprised by those beautiful succulents that You have I'm starting although in my country there are some that I don't think I have because I don't sell them I hope you can help me with seeds I would appreciate it A lot. Greetings from the Salvador.

[@Cerriscapades]

Hi Maritza, if you look over at my playlists, I've got a series about my attempts growing from seed. You might find it useful!

[@cassiep811]

Do you sell your succulents they're so beautiful.

[@newmanmansell760]

The soil you are using has a lot of scoria and a little potting mix right?☺️👌Maybe in spring it would be fine to give the succulents some Osmocote slow release fertilizer to promote growth and flowering😊👍

[@Cerriscapades]

Yeah I was thinking the same thing about giving them a boost in spring, especially since these are pretty young plants. They'll definitely benefit from it!

[@newmanmansell760]

@@Cerriscapades I have been giving fertilizer once in spring and it's working very well because my soil mix is also very gritty and fast draining😊👍

[@rogerward0]

I give it 1 year until you rip out your last boring succulent and replace it with a gibbiflora hybrid. Not that I blame you at all...that's what happened to me and that's what I see happening to you. They are just so drop-dead gorgeous. :)

[@Cerriscapades]

Haha, that sounds plausible!

Hi, Dios ko po, paki bigyan ako nang tig iisang dahun lng.😂 so nice!

[@sepilokfui]

Love all yr Echeverias, don’t like their blooms though. I wish I have an Echeveria patio.

[@anneteildefonso3563]

Wow, beautiful garden. I do have a question though, are Echeverias prone to Miley bugs or any bugs? I starting my succulent collections and I would like to avoid plants that bugs love. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[@venchamadm]

Hi Chuck I would like to know if you sale and deliver babies Suculents for replanted, I live in Michigan.

[@Cerriscapades]

Hi Damaris, unfortunately I can only send within the non-restricted states in Australia. Sorry!

[@mutazaljahrani1829]

9:45 what type of plant is that

[@maritaschalhorn8385]

Do you have a blue sky also? I Search so long for this Plant or someone who ship it to Germany....😊🙄☀️

[@Cerriscapades]

We don't have Blue Sky here in Australia. It's a hybrid based on Echeveria 'Imbricata', and we have lots of the Imbricata here. I can't remember exactly but I think the Blue Sky is a hybrid by Renee O'Connell in the USA. Probably under a patent, so you might only be able to purchase it from them (or any authorised resellers).

Nice videos,but to much talking.

Noted. Yeah I tend to ramble sometimes.

[@beckybecks3583]

@@Cerriscapades lol,but good video, I just like to watch your gardening,love succulent gardening.

[@Cerriscapades]

No worries, thanks for calling it out though. Cause I do this unscripted and I just say what comes to mind, then chop off some bits during editing. Problem is that if I chop out too much, it won't make sense haha! I actually started transcribing the captions/subtitles for my any new videos that I publish. It's an annoying task, and I'm hoping that this would annoy me too much that I would start shortening my scripts. That way I have to transcribe less.

[@beckybecks3583]

Have you watched Laura Eubanks,she also has good ideas like you.ADD more soil make little hills,so it doesn't look flat and you can see all your succulents, it adds more interest.Good luck.😀

[@Cerriscapades]

Yeah it was because of her that I got the confidence to plant in the ground when I started around 3 years ago! 😃
