You are so welcome Jem. Took a couple of bottom leaves also and hope they grow.

[@boricua3019]

This is a real real addiction. I see more of your plants and I want to have them too. So guess what, I'm buying succulents like crazy. I need to stop. That's what I always say every year when I buy plants trees and all. I love plants but succulents it's something different. And I really need to stop and deal with what I have for now that for me it's a lot. I said to my self this is now in the winter what is going to be of my self in the spring😳. I do love your succulents nice nice collection. Have a nice day Liz.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

I'm with you Boricua...Know exactly how you feel. Been telling myself to stop buying plants but I also say to myself...."You're doing it for the video." LOL I've been really good these past month coz I only bought a couple of plants😉..... To stop myself with buying plant, I buy pots...Hehehe

[@boricua3019]

@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK 🤣🤣🤣 for the video! That's the best excuse. Mine is I dont have that one. And yes I do that too, buying pots and then I say well I have to get a plant for that one or that's to big or small for that one I need aither another pot or another plant.😁it's a vicious circle. A good one. Now if I put all the money I have spend in them I probably have a heart attack. But I get to enjoy them, learn from them and probably learn how to torture them like you do. 😂😂😂😂😂 Have a nice and bless day, Liz!

[@MrsBradleyMia]

Your babies are all gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️ The sun does wonders on our succulents. Acclimatize is the rule (I learned this from you Liz😊❤️😊) I have succulents now that were sun burnt 🥵 and now frost burnt but fighting to live. Poor babies they became ugly but for sure they are giving me beautiful babies. I love them so. Thank you Lizzy for being a great teacher and friend. God bless🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️

Hello Liz! I've been learning so much from your videos! Thank you for being you! I've been watching your videos dreaming about increasing my collection of succulents. I have a small area inside during winter to play in but I start veggies in January onions, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, etc and some flowers for next year with 1 4ft shelve in basement with lights. But I sure enjoy looking at your beautiful plants! 😍 just love them soo much I had to message you.

Hi Liz, thanks for sharing this informative video. Not only did I enjoy the array of colors , textures and forms of your collection but you patiently and generously explain scientifically how you take care and how you obtain the kind of look each one has.Google only does the ‘Taxonomy “ part, no detailed info of all the things we need to know about a plant.

Hi Liz k, two day ago in Melbourne during the day we have 40" c then evening have rain. What a weather.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

We had 38 yesterday and in the afternoon...it rained but not enough again. Just one of those rot rotting rain. Luckily; no casualty so far...

[@janetac1738]

Your first heat wave of 2021. I would say your babies are fairing very well. I can't wait for my ganzhou to get bigger! I have three leaf propagations and they are the most adorable fat chubby things ever LOL and the prettiest plum purple color I have ever seen. I was bad and actually took a couple leaves off of a plant from Home Depot without permission. It was the only time I ever did that but I took three and they all propagated so thank you Home Depot. I actually ended up telling them I did that and they really could care less LOL they know me so well there that now when they see me they know I'm taking all the dropped pieces and anything that's on the floor is fair game. I literally go in with a Ziploc bag in my hand. I totally understand when you say you didn't raise the plant so you don't know how it behaves. That's why I prefer that I've grown 97% of the plants I own, I've grown myself from leaf propagations. I know how they behave they are like my children. Well I will keep you guys in my prayers so that you get cooler weather soon and now I am going to be checking all of my pvn props for any sign of variegation today. I have one magic red leaf prop that is still fairly small but there was a huge controversy over weather or not magic red was an actual plant or just a pvn with the farina taken off and I do actually see a difference between the two. Although I do know there are crooked people who use a special spray on pvn to make it look like magic red but I have an actual magic red now. I'm babbling! Have a wonderful day and try to stay indoors where it's cool 🌵🌈

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

100.4°F yesterday and then it rained(not enough) in the afternoon. Need to water the garden tonight. Today it was 64.4°F at Midday. Few more days of cool temperature. Need to take my sweaters out again.

[@janetac1738]

@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK it's incredible how quickly the temperature fluctuates! We actually got snow yesterday. I use the garage, we have a two-car garage, for busting up my granite and it's been so cold in there I have to put a huge hoodie sweatshirt on and my bathrobe over my clothes LOL by the way, since using the granite in my soil mixture, I haven't had to add any type of fertilizer and with my new grow lights, my babes are thriving, ❤️

[@erins.5420]

For me and the plants I e experience the terminal plants are grown from the first few sets of new growth and babies are grown after the third or more into to older growth. So babies are grown from older stem and terminal or flowers are grown from near the center meristem.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Echeverias are funny plants. The Serrana in this video are now terminal/flowers. I have a sibling to this Serrana that have the exact the same spot of two growth. One growing from the lower stem is terminal and the other stem closest to the center meristem is a viable plant.

Hi Liz. As usual, a paradise and a feast for the eyes in your garden. I wanted to know when it is best to water the scallops in the summer. For me in the summer the heat is very high it reaches 47 degrees cc and very hot. Thank you

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

If you're referring to Kalanchoe scallops...they are dormant in summer and prefers mild temperature. When the temperature goes down to a constant low 20°C, then they wake up and start to grow again. This is the best time to water them.

[@mirabelnadinevictorio1914]

I love to see the ones you’ve put through the wringer. 🥰 How do you know when they have been sufficiently acclimatized and are ready for the front garden? What is the signal that makes you feel confident?

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

When they get exposed to full sun in the backyard for a couple of months. Then I know they're ready for the big world. But I have to say that I still put some that are not ready into the garden also and just let them wing it. These are plants that I have few to play with.

[@ginamorales6551]

Liz I am a recent subscriber and love your videos your have so much knowledge and your collection is incredible!! How do you know which plants you have in your different soil mixes? Are they grouped in an area all together? Some of your plants you say are ready for planting in other soil mixes how do you keep track of all of them?!?

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

It mostly depends on the plant and the pot. Echeveria on terracota pots will have Master mix. Crassula in Intermediate mix. Ceramic pots w/ Echeveria will have advance soil mix and Crassula on ceramic pots will have master mix...LOL The one's I'm confused with, I put labels on the bottom of the pot.

[@jilllindfield2187]

Gina I was wondering the exact same thing 😁

[@adl7137]

I thought you had a jelly jam! ive been searching for marbled plants.. so far ive only been able to land echeveria bloody. i have jelly jam, nocturne, and salmon on my list.. but a lot are tough to find in the US.

Someone gave me a jelly jam leaf but don't think it is jelly jam, so need to get an authentic one.

[@bibaebrahim3363]

Hi Liz thanks for another great video.❤ Can echeveria agavoides be propogated from leaves. I have one for about two years now and it hasn't given me any babies

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

It depends on the specific variety and the individual plant. I've had many grown from leaves and have many that wont.

[@aholiviasmith8428]

We have that kind of heat nearly 8 months in a year! and humid like 60-80%...sigh. this weekend we are likely to have drizzle. I remember in another video you said you would water deeply when they got a bit of rain. I am thinking about doing that but not sure about the reasoning behind it. Why little rain causes more rot than a lot of rain? a lot of water should take more time to dry so I had a second thought.

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

I know it can be quite confusing but we have to treat succulents no different than any other plants. Plants takes in water from the roots and not the leaves. If you water a lettuce from the top or the leaves and not the roots....that lettuce will eventually die of dehydration as it uses up whatever liquid/nutrients present in the roots and leaves. If you water a lettuce from the top, it will not rot because the lettuce leaves are thin and are able to shake off the water or the water dries off before it can get absorbed through the leaves. Succulents on the other hand store water through their leaves, stems, roots, etc. with water that is taken up from the roots. Succulent leaves have stomata for uptake of carbon dioxide together with photosynthesis from the sun converts(process) it to sugars/plant food. If the leaves are wet(blocked), this exchange(process) can't happen and basically the succulent dies from....not dehydration but from drowning...AKA root rot. Add to that high temperature "ON" the leaves, the succulents leaves gets cooked and drowns. For better understanding in this subject matter, may I suggest to read up about "Succulent Stomata" or "Succulent Adaptation." Cheers

[@espectroarcoiris]

Here in Argentina we are having a hot summer too my friend! But its going to rain tomorrow for the next 6 days!!! What should I do? let them drink first 2 days and then put them under roof? Hugs!

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

This is a difficult question to answer Leticia because you know me....LOL....I would just leave my succulents as is. They all get what the weather throws at them. When I started growing expensive succulents, I grow them undercover(or partially protected) where I can control their watering requirements. When I started having baby succies, I've left the Mothers to enjoy whatever nature throws at them.

Question: So the ones that have sun damage can be left in the same spot, its just best not to water them? I have a echeveria pulidonis and the outer leaves are all damaged ive been contemplating on moving or not 🤔

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

I normally leave them where the injury took place. Moving them into another spot even if it's just a few inches can sometimes stress the plant more. If the soil is dry, I would water them. Soak and drain is always the best watering method.

Hi I have lots of indoor succulents under grow lights in the succulents soil mix you suggested. I think they have sunburn/ grow light burn and some of them started to shrink how can I fix this issue?

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

You probably have it too close. I would set the grow light higher until I find the right distance they like. They will also require more watering because the grow light dries up the soil quicker.

[@jilllindfield2187]

Liz may I ask what may seem a dumb question? I thought that watering made the moonstones chubby, but I’ve seen others say it’s the sunlight? Can you please tell me which it really is,?

[@GrowingSucculentswithLizK]

Too much watering can burst the leaves. Exposure to sunlight will round them up because they're trying to limit the surface area that gets burnt. If grown in the shade, they will flatten(increase the surface area) to try and get as much light/sun as they can.

A lot of these succulents originated from places with temperatures exceeding 48°C in summer. I find that my succulents do better in previous years when they were watered less during high temperatures especially if given overhead protection from direct sunlight.
