Çok faydalı bilgiler teşekkürler 😊❤Sukulentleriniz muhteşem çok şık ve güzel olmuş ellerinize sağlık.

[@ThaoNguyen-hl6mb]

8:48 You are absolutely correct. Succulents can be dunked, doused r hosed. Ventilation is the key to preventing leaf diseases. I have a large arrangement, so my way of determining when I need to water is by weight. A thirsty pot will feel significantly lighter than a freshly hydrated one.

[@joygarden.succulent]

Yess. At first I'm a bit confuse to dunk the plant, but now I'm enjoy this kind of watering haha ❤❤

[@jayanthijaiaraman9324]

So how long b4 watering it again, please? I'm from Malaysia, can I put the babies in direct sunlight? I thought they're fragile but they seem quite hardy...I'm confused as they say don't water in winter or repot till spring in March but we don't have all these in the equator...

[@joygarden.succulent]

[@bredixon7685]

So when watering succulents they should be very wet? I thought they should be dry. Should you always keep them wet or let them dry out some?

[@cupcake6986]

@@bredixon7685 soak and dry. Only water them when their soil is bone dry and then water until the water leas out of the drainage hole. Make sure to use a suitable substrate that allows proper draining, succulents don't like sitting in wet soil for too long

[@swatigokhale9495]

Thank you from Toronto

You are so nice 😍 Of course we living in a different environment so we have to find the way to watering the succulent. If your place have enough the direct sun light and you can try with another kind of soil mix with 80% of stone, may be you can try my way to water them. Good luck with your garden 😍😍😍

[@bluefox5331]

Great collection! Succulents are a very wide group of plants, pretty much only having one in common: storing water for later. So it's definitely not a good idea to follow any "water x per month" advice by book.. as with any advice for similarly large plant group, not even taking into account the enviroment you grow them in will change that too Right now I mostly have haworthia, they still need bright light but prefer less hours of harsh direct sun :) I had some issues with my previous buys when I didn't quite realize the amount of light that will be needed.. oops. Now I have a strong lamp for my sun lovers and haworthia are sitting around them, with less light from the lamp. Both on the windowsill, but I'm sharing the sun coming through the window with trees so it's mostly in sprig before the leaves grow in then I have to take care to not let my haworthias burn. I avoid any water on the leaves, Poland indoors is realy not a good climate to risk that ^^' They grew on me I must admit, I started as the usual "I love succulents for their bright colors" kind of plant person, and now I look at the transparent light catching windows and different shades of green (and some black!) in awe. I even have some hybrids of my own growing now, who would have thought. I'll need to plan how to sell them when they grow bigger... Edit: I also water them in the evening after the lamp turned off, I watched some videos by other succulent collectors that spoke that succulents drink at night! Maybe you can find it too if you're interested in the sciene part of plants, it made sense even though I never thought about it before! In colder climates the watering should definitely wait for most species with a period of full dryness of the soil, otherwise they can take in too much water- they don't lose it as quickly if it's not as hot! In fact for most of mine they are dry longer than they are moist, and I calculate when to water by seeing when the leaves start losing their plumpness ^^

After I removed brown roots & repotted it with fresh & dry succulent soil but it still hasn’t put out any new roots after a month. Can anyone help please? 🙏🏽 It’s so pretty and usually hard to find them here in Perth Western Australia. I don’t want to lose it.

What is the name of surface cover rocks?

[@mollypitcher9380]

You say to water “ not too much.” How much is that? One teaspoon? Some of my cacti/succulents are watered 4 months apart - when they are bone dry. Then I let them sit water and they soak all the water they can…. But they die I after 1 year anyway. Do you have any suggestions please?🌵

How thick do you apply those little pebbles on top of the soil? Thank you for this great tips I have some collections as well but some loose their soil cuz I didn’t know those pebbles are great! Can I use beach sand or rocks or shells? Thanks again ♥️👩‍🌾😊👍

[@joygarden.succulent]

The stone on surface just enough to keep the soil when you water. I think you can get some advise here about soil mix: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJSngniCetehjrcsi=iaBEIdosDGkSV79p The broken shell can damage the roots, sharp rock either. Im not sure about the sand but we never try it before. #tryyourbest

[@dylanyong9184]

Succulents store water in the leaves/stem. Does it mean I can wait a few days after soil has dry out before watering again? How about watering only when the leaves are slightly soft to touch?

[@joygarden.succulent]

Absolutely not. The coffee grounds have no nutrients, making it difficult to circulate air. Leaving it on the surface of the wet soil for a long time is easy to grow mold, so it cannot be used as a fertilizer for succulent. Using the official product is better ❤❤❤
