How To Water Succulents (Tips to Keep Them Alive)

[@miriamv5323]

Hello! I am a beginner and just stumbled across your video. It is just what I needed to hear, not only for gardening tips, but also your inspiring words give me great comfort in this difficult time. My dad and brother died earlier this year and my reason for taking up gardening is to feel connected to my dad who was an avid gardener. I have never felt any desire to plant or grow anything until now. I am being proactive and creating the peace I would want amongst this current chaos. It is great therapy! Thank you and what a coincidence that you only live an hour away from me. Take Care!

[@eh9918]

Sorry to hear. Glad you found some peace in plants.

[@SucculentFame]

Hello Miriam! I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing two loved ones is not a very easy thing to overcome. It gives me comfort to hear that you found gardening to be helpful. I know it is not enough to erase the pain, that’s why I’m relieved to hear that it kinda helps somehow. 😢 Huge apologies for the late response. I’ve been so busy. I’m sloooooowly trying to catch up on responding to comments and inquiries. I can’t believe I’m 1 year behind now. 😔 Thank you so much for the sincere comment. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫

[@ncboy64]

I was one of those who killed a few jade plants. I just couldn't keep them. Because 99% of my plants were in indirect sun my jade plant suffered. Plus, I did water it too much. I was able to keep a smaller jade plant for over a year. It was the only one that I took with me when I moved from the east coast to the west coast. Once I got to California it got a ton of sun and has a ton of new buds. It's so happy right now....as am I. The video confirmed what I've been doing is correct. A moisture meter is a good investment!

[@SucculentFame]

I’m so glad to hear that you were able to still save one and that it is happier in California. I guess we switched places. I went to the east coast, but I’m coming back to California this year.

Hello you said that its ok if your pot doesnt have a drainage hole thank you for the info cause i have too..

[@4janetmarie]

Sheila, I really appreciate everything in your videos. It's obvious that you have a kind soul. I dove head first into succulents about a month ago and got carried away at their beauty. Before long I was getting delivery after delivery of unpotted plants. I wish I'd found your channel before potting them. I got overwhelmed, just with potting. First, the soil is more like tiny, tiny pebbles so even getting some of them to stand up was a test. Some have roots along the plant(such as the ruby necklace), Some of the sedums were a test as well. I really could've used your information and motivation. I was a nervous wreck one night thinking what if I killed them all! Then, I watered several too much. I repotted, like you said to in this video. I didn't realize I'd ordered so many and they were coming from so many shops! I learned real quick that all of my years growing houseplants hadn't prepared me at all for succulents ❤ So, I am so grateful for your informative videos and there are many days when your message is much appreciated as well!!! Thank you so much!

[@SucculentFame]

Hi Janet! Thank you for sharing your story. I really appreciate your comment. I love the way you wrote it. I felt like I was there. It is so true how it is very easy to get carried away ordering a lot of them. It happened to me, too. 🤣I started with 70 cuttings and my next orders easily grew to hundreds. The most that I ordered was a single order of 300 assorted cuttings. 😅🤣😆 It was a fun journey all in all. Your comment is really precious Janet. Thank you so much again for taking the time to share it. I really appreciate it so much. ❤️☺️🌈

I try to water mine the way that nature would. So far I've had good growth, and healthy plants. I was gonna try to get my cactus to go dormant so that it'd bloom in the summer but then thought maybe it's best not to change anything since it's working out ok so far. In the past I've found if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I stuck wooden sticks in the pots, to check the moisture in the pots. Never overwatering them anymore.

[@SucculentFame]

Yes, wooden sticks are actually great substitutes for moisture meters. I just find that in the past, I would have to leave the stick in for about 3 to 5 minutes before I get results. Thank you for mentioning this. I really appreciate it. ❤️☺️🌈

[@ladya4776]

@@SucculentFame yes, actually, i leave them there, in the pot, it doesnt bother me. I see only the tip of it anyway. And I take it out only when it is time to water. It saved lives of my cacty in the summer, during the heat. Cos when it is Hot, and their leaves become softer, and when you care for them so much, you will probably think that they do not get enough water, give them more water, leafs start to get creases, start panicking, give them even more water..and kill it.. Beacause during extreme heat, in the summer month they Just slow down their metabolism, and use less water. It is very usefull if you can take the stick out and see that it is moist,no watering needed, and your lovely plant is able to take water in if its needed. So, leave it alone for a couple of days, let the soil dry out. Give them water again but carefully..

[@SucculentFame]

That’s a perfect idea! Thank you so much for sharing it with the community. You are awesome! ❤️👌👍👍👍

Every 2-3 weeks I pick up my succulents pots. If they feel really light and the soil is completely dry I carry them to my kitchen sink. I turn on a very small stream of water and thoroughly wet the soil, taking care not to get the plants wet. Then I let them drain for an hour before I set them back in the window. Seems to work well for me.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been growing succulents for a few years now and have never let them dry out. I shower the leaves too. They look great and have gotten big but from now on i will do it the right way.

[@SucculentFame]

You’re welcome, Brady! If they are planted directly in the ground, they are more tolerant to watering. In pots, they are more picky about watering interval. I think you are on the right track. Thanks so much again and as always, more blessings to you! ❤️🙏🌈

[@maysarcia5570]

I'm so happy I came across your videos, Shiela! I'm actually having trouble keeping succulents alive everytime I get a hold of them, only now I know that I'm overwatering them. I hope this time with the help of your videos, I'd be able to keep atleast this jade plant I just bought alive 😅 I wish I'd make my own succulent basket too. Yours are so beautiful! 😍 Keep making these informative videos. Much love! 😁

[@SucculentFame]

Hello May, I’m so glad to hear that my videos are helping. I think this time, your Jade Plant will survive and thrive. They are better off with longer watering intervals. When in doubt, postpone watering for about 3 days more. They are better off not getting watered too often. Then, when it’s time to water, give them lots of water. Thank you for leaving your comment. I really appreciate it. ❤️☺️🌈

[@maysarcia5570]

Hi Shiela! Just an update, my Jade plant continues to grow! :) I'm already thinking of propagating it, and again referring to your videos for it. Thanks again for the advice!

Whats the name of the succulent at 0:24? Nice video

[@SucculentFame]

Hi, Richard! It’s the Echeveria ‘Giant Blue’ or Echeveria ‘Giant Blue Curls’ 😃 She’s my current favorite, along with my mesembs. ❤️😍 Thank you for leaving a comment and asking this question. 😃🙏🌈 I really appreciate it.

[@Intoxicated_Virus]

Hey thanks for replying. Couple of days back my echeveria giant blue suffered from stem rot,trying hard to save it. Your tips are surely going to be useful for a noivce like me.🙋

[@SucculentFame]

Giant Blues are gorgeous, Richard! 😍🤩 I hope yours will pull through. They usually do as long as you give them that period of induced drought.👌👍 I sure would love to know if yours would make it. If the soil is still moist and she is already showing signs of rot, it it best to repot in dry soil. It’s extra work, but it’s really worth it. Feel free to ask more questions. I’m more than happy to help. 😃🙏🌈

[@oliviakuhn907]

I am currently propagating a bunch of succulent leaves and they are almost ready to be planted and I was wondering if I can put them straight into the bonsai Jack succulent soil or if I need a different type of soil first while they are still small

[@SucculentFame]

Hi Olivia, I have a friend who uses Bonsai Jack and so far, they have been doing well, so I think they will be okay. I even tried planting them straight to regular soil and they’ve been thriving, too. It seems like their survival really depends more on how often we water them than anything else. Thank you for leaving an inquiry. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫

[@devilgaming6581]

I made a huge mistake of watering all my succulents at once because it was more than 12 days and my echeveria pallida fell apart from it's beautiful rose shape. This lead to overwatering as some of my succulent still had water and I lost 4 of my beautiful varieties it heart breaking but a lesson I will never forget. Wish I found this video sooner

[@SucculentFame]

[@JanelleMel]

the mini succulent i got doesn't reach the bottom of the grower pot (it's about half an inch from it), so idk if that's bad. the little sign that came with it says i have to take the grower pot and put 1/4 inch water in the clay pot before putting it back.

[@SucculentFame]

Hi Janelle, I don’t recommend exposing the succulent to watering after repotting. You don’t also have to make sure that the succulent roots are touching the bottom. I normally would just plant them halfway in the pot. The roots and stem will work their way in anyway. Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’ve been so busy.

How often do you go around your succulents with the moisture meter?

[@SucculentFame]

Hello Nikki, I don’t really have a fixed interval. It actually depends on how cool or how hot the weather is. When it’s cooler, I can go as far as 1 to two weeks. It also depends on the size of the container. Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’ve been so busy. I’m sloooooowly trying to catch up on responding to comments and inquiries.

I got my first succulent plant on the 5th of this month and the soil was dry Superdry one of the things I noticed was one of the leaves was already starting to fill up with water I didn't do anything to it but last week I decided to give it 1/3 cup of water and as the days went on leading up to today I've noticed all of the leaves at the bottom and one of two in the middle has completely filled up with water how is that when I only put 1/3 cup of water in it so can someone please help me I don't want it to die because I want to get more succulent plants I've also bought my first 2 jade plants last week they're doing good any tips on helping me keep them that way thanks in advance

[@SucculentFame]

Hello Tamekia! How are you and how are your plants doing? The hard thing about succulents is that underwatered and overwatered succulents look somewhat the same. If a succulent is not getting enough water, it will also look watery and mushy. If the soil in the pot is a cactus soil mix, they need to really soak up water when it’s time to water. In fact, I’m at a point where I stopped using cactus soil mix. They’re too fast draining that water doesn’t stay in the soil. Thus, the succulent is actually not able to drink at all. I’m planning to make a video about it. I just haven’t found the time to make one. My apologies for the late response. I hope those who are waiting for a response from me will read this, too. Just recently, I made a decision to respond to newer comments. I have been trying to respond to older comments first, hoping to catch up. But I haven’t been successful. So instead of trying to do that (‘cause now, I’m a full year behind) I’ll start responding from newest to oldest. Thank you so much for the comment. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
