I have subscribed, Liz, and I love your channel. I have a PVN and a jade (Crassula ovata) that I overwatered and they naturally protested by dropping petals. I don't have the solutions you've used, but just plain water and succulent potting mix (Fert-Lome brand). I'm going to use the opportunity to propagate! I have the petals on top of the soil of another plant, a Traveler's Palm that I got from Urban Tropicals out of Hampton, FL. A couple of the petals have not only rooted, but have actually started the embryonic stages of another plant in their usual pattern of growth. I have them in direct morning sun only on my east facing patio. When I feel like they're ready, I'm actually planting them in their own soil in plastic containers with holes in the bottom that I've fashioned out of water cups (I am creative, aren't I?). I also have an overgrown and fractured and fragmented Graptopetalum (not sure of the species) that was given to me by a co-worker who just didn't know what to do with it. I'll follow the same pattern of propagation with it as well. Wish me luck!

[@joestolzenberger]

Everything always works for you. I have cuttings that won't grow roots. I have tried clonex it does nothing but take my money. I have a problem I hope you might answer. Why? would a succulent plant just start to go soft. No bugs soil is purlight and cactus mix.>

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Depends on variety, humidity, position, watering, soil and other unknown factors. Some can also be due to the strain of the plant and some cutting are cut too young or too close to the tip with no nodes. Nodes or hard tissue is where the roots will grow from. No enough watering can also make them go soft.

Leave them on the surface without soil to dry up. You can use hairdryer to hasten the process. After a week, plant in dry soil. Then soak the pot halfway to encourage roots to form and go down. Good luck.

Thanks for your video, i have a question, i bought a new saculent i think it's some kind of hawartia, they repotted it for me in the shop and now i see it had no roots! Like it's cutten or never had it. Any way can i do the same and make it have longer roots? When should i repot it? How to do it right meanwhile transfering to soil?

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

If there's no roots and freshly cut, I usually put it on top of soil with some rocks on top to separate the wet soil from the plant. Put toothpick around to hold it in place and wait. After 4 weeks, it should grow some roots. Good luck!

I couldn't find a soil wetter here in North Florida so I went on EBay and bought some SeaSol and had it shipped from Australia. But it was really expensive and I'd love to learn how to make my own here because a hundred dollars a bottle is not what I can afford long term 😁. I really think you should be paid for selling it 😁 since you are the one that showed me the miracle of that for the roots on my babies. I had a problem with root fungus destroying the roots on my favorite babies and even though I managed to save the plants the roots were destroyed and I've been babying them until my SeaSol got here and I can say it's only been 4 days since it got here and it's amazing the difference it makes!!! My very first crested don't know what kind it is other then echeveria was the first plant to get this fungus? and it's been the first to get some SeaSol love and it's actually got new white roots and I'm so very very happy and it was well worth a hundred dollars to Buy sand ship that SeaSol here to Florida. Please send me detailed directions on how to make my own SeaSol like product please I don't understand what AGAR is because I'm kinda new to this stuff and not up on the jargon 😁

My scculent are growing well. Sime are getting gangly. Is it necessary to cut them down. How much do you need to water completely?

Gangly succulents need more light and needs to be cut down to grow compact. Best to water less but more, that means soaking the dry soil overnight to benefit the plant.

[@gizzelhenning8768]

I'm curious, how do you know when you're hydrating them and when they're getting over watered and will rot? I'm moving over 1000km so I've had to take all my succulents out of their soil and put them in storage containers for roughly 2 weeks, they're going to etiolate and it's not ideal but it's either that or leave them all behind. I'd like to hydrate them when they finally reach their destination but i don't want to rot them

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

After being out of water for two weeks, they will definitely need a drink. What I would do in this case is to just pot them up in a moist soil(not wet) and put them in an area with bright light but no direct sunlight. After a week, give them a good soaking, drain and put away back to where they were and slowly acclimate them to be out in the sun. Best way to acclimate them is to put them in an area with 50% UV shade cloth. Good luck with the move. 🥰

Do these beautiful succulents root when the sky is overcast? This video actually busts alot of myths of Succulent rooting methods that most of us refrain from scared we might kill the poor succulent. Thank you! Liz and Salamat.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

They don't rot because it's overcast... For a lot of succulents, continued overcast days contain a lot more moisture in the air(high humidity), therefore they don't need watering, unless the plants really needs it. They prefer to be watered at night during their growing period.

[@daym8]

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Soil Wetter é um agente umectante reforçado com algas marinhas líquidas e composto líquido para ajudar a água a chegar onde é necessário. O solo mais úmido aumenta a molhabilidade de solos duros a úmidos, permitindo uma penetração mais profunda da água na zona da raiz. Também ajuda a oxigenar o solo e melhorar a retenção e absorção de nutrientes essenciais pelas plantas. O solo mais úmido que uso, acho que pode estar disponível apenas na Austrália. Você pode talvez fazer o seu próprio. Esta não é uma base de algas marinhas, mas espero que dê certo.

If cuttings are taken on the wrong season, they sometimes take six months to root. Best way is to just put it on top of a pot with soil and check after a month. The plant will tell you when it needs watering.

Thank you.

Pwede po ba na tubig + alnus compost yung gamitin ko?

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Try nyo lang po. Practice sa mujmurahing tanim first. Good luck.

[@leaheleazar4007]

After water therapy, do I need to air dry before repotting?

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Plant into soil mix straight away and don't water until the pot feels light or the soil dries up a bit.

[@leaheleazar4007]

thanks so much!

[@ansherinafrancisco2933]

Hello Maam Liz, can you suggest what kind of grow light need ng mga succulent and ilang oras under grow light? Thanks

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

I only have one and it's called MarsHydro SP3000. I have it on for 12 to 16 hours a day.

[@shanling4181]

I do this water therapy with just plain water. Izit OK?

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Yes. You can also make your own soil wetter. DIY AGAR AGAR soil wetter Dissolve agar in warm water (not hot) to dilute to consistency of runny custard. Take 1 cup of this dilution and add to 4 liters of water.

[@shanling4181]

I'll try it after I get these ingredients ^^ and 1 more questions, if after we do water therapy n the roots are ready to pot. Do we pot it immediately or need to dry the roots b4 potting?

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

@@shanling4181 Ones your happy with the amount of roots or plumpness of plant, you can pot it straight into soil.

[@shanling4181]

Noted. Thx for the advice ^^

Okay lang po. Maraming salamat po and Enjoy.

[@isabelarazo413]

Pwede po ba yung gulaman brick? Thank you!

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Try nyo lang po at haluan nyo ng compost or liquid worm casting for the good bacteria.

[@christinalw19]

Is plain water enough or do you have to add nutrients? Thank you, Liz. 😘

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Water is enough but takes longer due to surface tension of the water. Using lukewarm water helps to hasten the process.

[@susanlisson7066]

I added a few drops of hydrogen peroxide as well. It helps oxygenate the water. Gollum responded fast after that.

I wanted to throw away my shot glasses. But now I’ve found new purpose.

[@elenbrandt290]

Wow!

[@smegypsiren]

😑🤦‍♀️🤯Omg I wish I'd watched this video weeks ago. I'd put it off because I just got my first succulents and wasn't going to be propagating any time soon. Well my succulents showed up bare rooted and are getting so dehydrated and shriveled up. I've been going through hell trying to get my pots and medium components shipped for the last 2 weeks. All I have is organic worm casting for compost tea but it'll have to do. I'm not losing my new babies, especially my Echeveria Laui from Korea

[@ibyangwee906]

Wow naka una ako

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Congrats and thank you.

[@brokenbutterfly3178]

Hey Liz, will this work with just water alone? Also, my agavoides have root stems but won't through out roots. Should I submerge the stems into the water or just let it hover over it?

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Also works with plain water and stem can be submerge.

[@brokenbutterfly3178]

@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thanks Liz

[@godisgood8234]

Lol I don't know what the heck has been wrong with my brain lately. I've been having such a difficult time rehydrating my succulents that have recently rerooted after doing head chops. I know about this method I just don't understand why I didn't think to do it! I've been so confused like the past month I think just stressing myself out getting everything ready outside that my brain is just having one big fart LOL I have a couple of red crimson big echeveria thingies LOL that just aren't rooting up so I'm going to take them out of the soil today! Thanks for the refresher course Liz and reminding me, snapping me out of my stupor 🤪

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

It happens to the best of us. I'm on the same boat ATM. Just not enough time.

[@janetac1738]

@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK I have a very hard time sleeping at night I wake up every 2 hours and then I'm up at 4:00 a.m. working by 5:30 a.m. and I just don't stop. I'm exhausted and miserable at this point but it needs to be done and once it's done I will rest.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

@@janetac1738 That sounds familiar but slightly different... I get too excited about what I'm planning to do the next day that I can't sleep. I compensate by eating food that I'm not suppose to eat so now I'm putting on weight and now I look forward to losing weight...so now I can't sleep again...LOL

[@janetac1738]

@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Liz I gained so much weight because of this pandemic that I was going to have bariatric surgery! Yes you read that correctly. I opted against it because the year of recovery is just too much. So I'm in the same boat having to lose weight this summer. By medical standards I am way way overweight by my standards and my doctors standards I really just need to lose 50 lb. But I honestly gained 102 lb over quarantine 😳 So I totally understand the eating compensation LOL I wasn't healthy last year so I overcompensated and ate like a pig 🐷🐷 and who could blame us with all this stress going on in the world! Thank goodness we're still young enough

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

@@janetac1738 That's why I'm looking forward to our winter prospecting trip. It'll be hot and sweaty to melt all my fat away...LOL and oh yes, finding gold is just a bonus.

Hello 😊

[@maga7960]

So sorry we can't find this soil wetter in Italy :(

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

You can maybe make your own. This is not seaweed base but hopefully it'll do the trick. DIY AGAR AGAR soil wetter Dissolve agar in warm water (not hot) to dilute to consistency of runny custard or PVA glue. Take 1 cup of this dilution and add to 4 liters of water (a watering can is ideal)

[@ibyangwee906]

Mahirap daw alagaan yan dito sa pinas.. if my first agavaoides ebony will survive i will get me one of this..
