WHY DID MY SUCCULENTS DIE? | VLOG

[@EileenWstCstGrl]

OMG, a nest! I didn't see the bird at first and was wondering who you were talking to. You're such a good person to allow all the creatures to live in your garden.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

I love sharing my garden with all the critters. They too have a right to life. Thanks for watching, Eileen. Hope you enjoyed the video. Take care.🥰

[@denisesmith7344]

The cluster is so cute! I could not divide it.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thanks, Denise. I'll keep them altogether. Might have to grow those seeds as a cluster too! Thanks for watching and have a fantastic day!🥰

[@karinferreira2336]

Thank you so much for teaching us Liz, I’m taking notes as you go along ❤

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

You're welcome, hope you enjoyed the video! 🤗 Thanks for watching, Karin and have a lovely day!🥰

[@maryg-o3h]

Catfish are jumping and the cotton is high! Your Daddy's rich, and your Mama's good looking. So, hush little baby. Don't you cry. Love this song. Hi Liz!❤

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Aw thanks so much! I love the song too. Thanks for watching, Mary and have a fantastic day!🥰

[@barbarafoster7509]

Love the lithops as a cluster. I learned so much in this video. Thanks

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

I'm so glad you find the video useful, Barbara. Thanks for watching and Have a great day! 🥰

[@judithyoungquist8409]

Delightful video, Liz!! So glad you showed us your Lithops, I just love them! Maybe separate the large lithops into 2 bunches? Then we can watch them grow big again!!

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

I will try that next time, thanks for the suggestion! Thanks for watching and Have a wonderful day, Judith. 🥰

[@lidiajimenez2728]

All the plants look very beautiful😊😊😊

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thanks for watching and always letting me know what you think, Lidia! 🤗 Really appreciate it. Have a great day. 🥰

[@lealuckau9278]

You have so many sleeping beauties.😸 I love the lithops as a cluster, maybe with some of your pretty rocks. Congrats on your birds 🤗 I hope you are sleeping (& feeling) better. Hugs 💚 💚 💚

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thank you so much, Lea, for your concern and support. 🙏🏻 Great idea with the Lithops. I might just do that. The birds are a problem. Have to stay away from that area for the next few weeks to not stress Mommy and Daddy as it turned out. Their taking turns feeding the 4 babies. Have a wonderful day! 🤗😘🥰

[@ronnieochoa1162]

The lithops should stay a cluster. It's absolutely beautiful as a specimen plant! ❤❤❤❤

[@ronnieochoa1162]

Greetings from California

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thanks for the input, Ronnie. Will try and make a nice arrangement with it. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day!🥰

[@jamieaddy1600]

I wish I had the room you did for all those plants. There are so beautiful and you remind me of myself with all the colorful flowered plants and allowing the bird to stay in there. I feed the squirrels and the birds here and I'm always helping the baby birds that fall. Or the others that get hurt

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thanks for watching. I love it when I find other plant lovers like yourself who are kind to critters, too! Have a wonderful day!🥰

[@hawaiiaunty7415]

Thank you Liz! I always forget which plants are for the current growing season.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

I know it's a lot to keep track of. I too always forget and when I do something to the plants that I'm not supposed to.... It's too late. 😭 Thanks for watching. Have a great day!🥰

[@olgagarcia7503]

Hi Liz. In every garden we always have some plants that die😢. We have to buy them again.😅😊

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

We have to keep the economy going. 😂 Thanks for watching, Olga and have a great day!🥰

[@cactusandherbs]

so beautiful succulents ❤❤❤❤❤

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thank you for watching. So glad you enjoyed the video! Have a great day!🥰

[@Honeybear2448]

That makes sense, you must know when you plant goes to sleep. THANKS LIZ.

[@heatherstephens9295]

You have such lovely pots too 😍😍

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thank you for noticing! 😊 It does make the plants look better. Have a wonderful day!🥰

[@MarisaGirgenti]

Hi Liz, absolutely love your videos! You always give lots of great advice and information. This video was particularly helpful as I have a lot of “fat leaved” echeveria and probably would have lost a lot to rot this summer if not for your advice. I am in Sydney so we have similar weather except for the frost in winter. I would love for you to make a video on watering in summer, especially the summer dormant plants. I always look forward to your new videos ❤

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thank you for watching, Marisa and glad you found it useful. Great idea about a video on watering in summer for dormant plants, I'll put it on my list. Have a great day!🥰

[@anniemahinay1036]

Itvs is very hot here in Sydney and some my succulents are dying too. Thanks again for the growing tips succulents. Wishing you are merry xmas and a safe and healthy prosperous new year. Take care❤

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thank you, Annie. It feels like every year, the suns UV seems to be getting harsher. Plants that weather the 42° Summer a few years ago, is experiencing burning this year. And summer just started as well. Hope you're keeping cool. Have a safe and Merry Christmas to you and your family.🥰

[@bobbiechinn9578]

You're a gorgeous plant mommy 🥰😍🥰💚

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thanks, Bobbie. You're sweet! 🥰 Hope you enjoyed the video. Have a wonderful day!🥰

[@cholong_succulent]

다육 오랜만에 보러 왔어요 색이 이쁜 금다육이 매력적입니다❤😂

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Welcome back. Thank you so much for watching and hope you enjoyed the rest of the video. Have a great day!🥰

[@Honeybear2448]

Hi Liz, thin leaves succulent are very challenging for me. I love Montrose thick leaves.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

I love the thin leaves Frilly/carunculated Echeverias. But it's heartbreaking growing them in summer, only to die in winter.😭Thanks for watching and have a great day!🥰

[@jtbm8354]

Super cute ng lithops, sana magkaroon din ako nyan😍

[@anticlickbait]

Really beautiful close up this time. Every one is beautiful beautiful I could stare at them all day ☺️ The cluster of lithop are cute. Should leave them like that too 😊 Didn't know there was a bird. Excellent Mama finding the best spot 😂 7:33 Which name has that echeveria on the left? I tried to rescue mine but ended plucking some leaves and gonna see if they start rooting and survive the hot summer 😅 8:39 another question. Is this crassula also dormant or no worries of where I left it? I have two pots of them. One under shade and other under sun. Since summer will also start where I live I don't want mine to get sick. Looks similar but without the reddish. I call it tiny pagodas 😊

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

7:33 is called Echeveria Bianca. This will grow well in summer if not exposed to full sun. 8:39 is called Crassula capitella ssp thyrsiflora variegated. This is dormant at the moment and grows better in a bright but no direct sunlight area to maintain variegation. Summer cutting that I've taken from this plant struggled to grow but did grow a couple that are now thick and healthy. There is a non variegated version of this plant called 'Red Pagoda" that do really well in full sun. Thanks for watching and have a great day!🥰

[@anticlickbait]

@GrowingSucculentswithLizK neat. May I not have the Red one but still cool and captivating. I proceed to not gonna mess with them during the next months 😊 Thanks Liz for the quick responses. Have a great day too!

[@cheryl1766]

lovely video with bonus bird. When you say that they are sleeping,do you water them ? any food? ..every video of yours i am in awe of the amount of plants you have..gorgeous. thank you for your information.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thanks for watching, Cheryl. Watering dormant plants in summer is not necessary unless they show signs of dehydration. No fertilizer as well. With certain species, if kept in a cool environment, they can continue to grow. These plants can be watered when soil dries up. Have a lovely day!🥰

[@JuneRoberts-k6m]

I would divide the Lithops. They each need more room.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Will try to give them a little wriggling room. Thanks for watching June and have a fantastic day!🥰

[@AM-pw3qb]

Prachtig allemaal ❤❤❤ Het is mij droom om 1 keer in je tuin te kunnen bezoeken ❤❤ Groetjes uit Nederland ❤

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

One can never tell what the future brings. 😉 Thanks for watching and have a fantastic day!🥰

[@sejhammer]

I am not a mesemb expert but I am leaning toward keep the cluster!!!!!!!

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

I might pluck out a couple to see how they grow alongside the cluster. 🥰

[@martynfuller4660]

Leave them as a cluster they are lovely 😊

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Thanks Martyn. Will do. Majority wins.☺️ Have a Great day!🥰

[@jamieaddy1600]

Do you ever sell any of yours? Whenever I'm watching your videos I try to jot down the ones I find beautiful and unusual but most of the time I cannot find them to purchase. I did just buy quite a few from two different places. But you definitely have some rare and beautiful ones who I would love to get a clip from lol

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

I was selling before but find that it takes up so much time that I haven't got at the moment. Depending on what country you're in as to the availability of the plants. Sometimes, the same plant can have 3 or 4 different names. Although the name helps as a general guide, I now mainly buy plants because of the way they look and not by the name. Thanks for watching Jamie and have a fantastic day.🥰

[@pudik2008]

Hi Liz.hope you are well. When the succulents are‘asleep’ should I cut back on the watering at this time? We got very hot weather coming up. Thanks ahead. 💚🌵Natalie SA.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

When the weathers hot, the soil will be hot too. Water + heat = steam that will cook the succulents; especially the ones with fat leaves. The only ones I water are the ones with thin leaves. If you water a tomato plant in summer, the thin leaf succulents that are not dormant will require watering too. I hope that makes sense. Maybe I should do a "Which succulentssss to water in summer."😁 Thanks for watching and goodnight....🥰

[@pudik2008]

@ Thank you for your help. Actually I just watered my tomatoes and cucumbers a few hours ago,I thought to myself,how does Liz know I have tomatoes in my garden 😂 I tend to water later on in the evening when it’s cooler. Goodnight good lady. 💚😴😴

[@siddharth6553]

Mam I am from India is it good to propogate echeveria now

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

The best time for you to grow everything. Your temperature from December to February is where most succulents will grow the fastest in your area. I'm excited for you. Good luck and Happy Growing.🥰

[@siddharth6553]

Thank u mam for guiding me I will start my propogation today ✌

[@60gregma]

The sound was really wonky on this one.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Only the start "SUMMERTIME" to avoid being flag by KZbin.☺️ Hope you enjoy the rest of the video. Thanks for watching.🥰

[@denisesmith7344]

Cluster! Yes!

[@kerriefearby9542]

So basically you are saying do your propagating and re potting up in Spring and Autumn. BTW it's 35 to 39C all week here.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Yes it is, for succulents that are dormant. There are still plenty of summer growing succulents that need repotting and propagating. So the fun never ends. Always something to do.😁 Thanks for watching, Kerrie and have a lovely evening.🥰
