Please can you tell me if there is another name for the wreath like terracotta pot in your into?, (huge gap in the middle) thank you

[@fosterandgrow]

Hi Hannah! Apologies for the long delay in responding, we took a bit of a break from the channel. As far as we are aware there is no specific name for them - we just call them wreath pots! Sorry we couldn't be of more help! Let us know if you find out!!!

Thanks for the information guys I picked up 3 of these on clearance from bunnings about 2 months ago... they've grown so quickly. I like the crassula genus.... will you be featuring any more in the future? Stay safe Kind regards from Adelaide SA

[@fosterandgrow]

Thanks Nicola! It's nice to get some support! We already have videos up on a Crassula Ovata Gollum and a Jade plant if you want to check them out. We've got a reasonably large collection of the various Crassula types so we'll definitely be adding more soon! Stay safe and we hope you're having a lovely week!

Is the care is the same in tropical country?

[@fosterandgrow]

Hi Umi! Thanks for the question! To give you some context on the area we live in we get temperatures up to about 40 degrees (104 degrees Fahrenheit) and as low - 7 degrees (about 20 Fahrenheit). We also get semi regular frosts in our area which can be an issue for Succulents. If you're living in the tropics the key things you'll need to focus on are this. 1. Well draining soil for your succulents. 2. Drainage holes in your pots if you keep them in these. 3. Limit your watering to once the soil has dried out and then give it a good soak. The above 3 points should help make sure you don't overwater your succulent given the area you are in will have more humidity. Lastly position wise, you should look to mimic the conditions we are using for this plant i.e. an area which gets full light in the morning but then strong filtered light in the afternoon. Hope that helps and good luck!

The signs of over-watering and under-watering we put on our instagram page might help you with this too. instagram.com/p/B3OjwYxB3Yc/

Sorry guys but this one does not propagate by leaf cutting if yours did I would love to see a video of that

[@fosterandgrow]

Thanks for the comment Crystal! Whilst it is much harder and trickier (we would recommend a stem cutting) it is definitely possible to propagate from just a leaf. If you want to try leaf propagation for this make sure to remove both sides of the leaf together off the stem. This requires a lot more patience and a significantly longer amount of time but it is possible. We will throw a picture up on our Instagram page now to show a leaf cutting which has roots. Our Instagram page is listed in the description of this video. Hope you're having a lovely week! Stay safe!

[@Crystal-be9ze]

Foster And Grow YES!! Thank you I have been unsuccessful in getting this to work no matter how hard I try, 2 different nurseries told me it wasn’t possible and I haven’t seen anyone that has been successful, it would be amazing if you guys did a video with updates to show this process, including the leaf removal, please 🙏🏻

[@janetac1738]

@@Crystal-be9ze I believe leles succulents USA has a video where she's successfully propagates by leaf. It is very hard to do but I have been successful with the really fat fat version of this plant for reasons which I'm sure we all know fatter is better when propagating by leaf with succulents. Mind you I set 17 leaves and only one did propagate. The trick is getting the leaf off the stem. It's very tedious and you have to be super careful. But check out Leles channel, she's also a great channel to watch.
