yes avoid it as top dressing difficult to see if the soil is dry or not

avoid cinder for mumbai it retains moisture....cinder is ideally used separately like its a complete different mix it can't be mixed with garden soil ...like cinder mixed with vermicompost mostly used by north part of India

@@LushGardener thanxx

@@LushGardener another thing which I forgot to ask, I purchased a new zz plant from local nursery on 11th Aug, and hasn't been repotted since. The soil that it had come with is mostly normal garden soil (clay mix) along with cocopeat which seems to be retaining moisture , need your guidance on following points...please and thank you! :) 1. Should i report with new soil mix ? 2. what could be a most suitable mix ? 3. should cinder be included to help with drainage?

best mix is gritty and well draining....garden soil ...little coco peat,sand will be best ..cocopeat you can use either 10 percent ...i use coco peat for my zz because it outdoor and its very dry here and i water it once in 2-3 weeks ..so works well ...yes i would suggest repot it ...if the soil is stay very moist ...they don't like too much soil ...you can use 60 percent garden soil ....30 percent sand and then cocopeat. another thing it also depends what i have seen is it will start to put alot of new growth after a year...they are relatively very slow growing plants studio.czcams.com/users/videovDoID8BCGic/edit

@@LushGardener i missed to mention ... My zz is indoors in the hall and receives indirect light during the day. thanks a lot for your suggestions!!

avoid cow dung at all cost …if you ask the nursery guy to give just soil without anything added it will be good ….

these are the components…you can skip the mountain soil czcams.com/video/waz3DHo_PXQ/video.html

Thanks for visiting

о, хорошо, вы это заметили… да, избыток влаги приведет к гниению хавортии, хотя они довольно выносливые суккуленты… да, сделайте рыхлую почву более песчаной, и к третьему дню, если это не произойдет, по крайней мере 95 процентов почвы должно быть сухим… 4-й день полностью сухой

yes they need full morning sun for at least 6 hours and they are very susceptible to pest ...i sold my jelly beans :( ...also they don't like to be moved around ..they need one permanent place

i will buy once i shift to another place ...cant get more plants here :(

@@LushGardener Thank you. Are they cool growing sedum what is the temperature requirement like... thank you

@@LushGardener Wishes to you to add one soon to your beautiful collection.

lol …what a coincidence…just uploading a video 😄😁

where every you get full indirect bright light 😄

@@LushGardener thanks, also do I put on top of soil that gets watered.

ok even m curious to know how are the aquarium light working for succulents ? have you kept them below the aquarium light already ? do you see any gaps between the leaves ? do let me know ...because the aquarium light may have a different intensity because with aquatic plant again there are three types one is low light plants,medium and intense ...low light and medium may still do ok with regular but the red coloured intense plant need different light ....the intensity lights may work for succulents but again m not sure as i haven't tired it ....yes in chennai climate with high humidity apart from haworthia other soft succulents like echeveria and hybrids will have a hard time growing

@@LushGardener just now started & hence results are not available, but i can assure of light which i am using which is full sprectrum wrgb light used for aquatic plants which produces max brightness 4000lumens (30W) and it is fitted for rack with area of 2*1 foot and its brightness can be reduced & increased. It has all life spectrums of sun, couldn’t keep plant outdoor due to damage of plants caused by crows, rats & cats

oh ok that sounds promising...so yes its take about just 1 week to see the results in succulents ...if they stay compact even after 2 weeks under the light you are good to go ...please do keep me updated ...yes in chennai outdoor condition soft succulent may not perform really esp now during rainy season ..winters till ok ...but summer heat and monsoon humidity will be tough on them ...plz do keep me update of how they doing :) all the best

thats wood ...but not that good ...concrete stand is much better

hahah oh my ...i think of plants like all day along in fact in dreams too mostly uprooting plants from random places hahah

thank you so so much ...my very first video ..you brought back memories haha :)

Thanks for watching!

You are so welcome!...yes this is the best way but it takes ages lol ...i think succulents are the easiest plants ...provided the climate is appropriate for them they are the most easiest ...literally not much care required ....no fertilizers ,daily watering ,repotting is rare etc :)

@@LushGardener I couldn't agree more! I love how easy going they are.. well usually lol. There can be fussy ones but even they are not too bad to look after.

so true :)

no no avoid during monsoon any cuttings and propagation

@@LushGardener what if I keep it indoors?

yes ☺️ the white ones …

@@LushGardenerhow many holes in the bottom of the take out containers?

one is enough :)

thank you so so much it’s better now …😁

🙏🕊️

your from kolkata dont use cinder not good for high humid environment...cinder is good for people from dry environment.like delhi

@@LushGardener what should I use

go for sandy mix which dries faster ...sand ,perlite or pumice and garden soil

@@LushGardener but I have recently purchased some cactus and succulent I have received pot it using 35% cinder 45% sand , 10% perlite, 10% mix (leaf mold , garden soil, homemade composite.) . So what should I do

just experiment and see how its working out let it be as it is and keep a watch on watering ..if not then make a diff mix

:)

Also an excellent teacher 🙏Thank you L.G. Sir.

Glad it was helpful! :) have a wonderful day ahead :)

hi ,m good thanks ..how are you ? what was the earlier soil mix you tired and which city ?

@@LushGardener Good to hear I'm also good thanks. Earlier i have used sand+rice husk+granules . Used plastic pots . After June my succulents became dull and leaves were gone. Eventually roots also got Rotted and i lost all of them

oh got it and which city are you from?

@@LushGardener Lucknow Uttar Pradesh

helloo help me out plx

Thanks for watching!

oh wow yes that's an beautiful cacti ...yes that mix should be good i use the same succulent mix for cacti as well they doing well :)

oh i actually sold that one last year i sold most of my succulent ...i may have to shift from this house :( ...so downsized my plant ..hopefully i find a better and bigger space for all these babies lol

one is echeveria agavoides and other is echeveria snow bunny

its depends on size and availability of succulents common ones 50-100. medium uncommon ones 150-200. medium rare succulents like agavoides 250-300 . this price is excluding pots and postage .

@@LushGardener can u suggest some succulent that is beginner friendly. In past I have bought some succulent I survived in summer but are dying in these monsoon, all off my plant are under shade which plenty of indirect bright light .

don't do too much watering in monsoon...even if the soil is dry wait for couple of days because during rains the moisture in air is high so wait for couple of days ..as your from kolkata the humidity is already very high ....haworthia will be the best succulents ..avoid agavoides and hybrid succulent they wont do well in your city due to high humidity....you can go with haworthia,aloes,sedums,graptoveria marpin,graptoveria purple delight,graptoveria fred ives,graptoveria franseco baldi ..these are easy

dont buy succulents now only after oct

I am not asking about buying. I am asking about selling price idea to sell my succulents.

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much 😃

not selling now sir :( sold last year locally

thank you so much for the information ...its best to get information from someone who has closely observed them thanks a ton :)...yes i have seen the pictures they grow like weed lol in small puddles of little soil that's available to them ....in my city humidity is not an issue its very dry ...but the issue is short winters ..i would say very very mild winters ...the minimum is 19 c and just for about 2 months or so...i also read some articles that say they need prolonged cold winters ..hence it wont work here :(

Thank you so much 😃

Thank you so much 😃

Thank you so much 😃

not selling now :( sold last year locally

I agree when they are medium sized …they look very similar actually Hercules and pulidonis the light blue is often confused and wrongly sold ….apus is more light blue and the edges are less red or very slight red ….but yea they are so closely identical 🙂

yes completely bone dry :)

oh wow that's so amazing to hear ...so happy for you ..its def you hard work and patience that has helped...yes and when it blooms it means that the plant is very happy :)

thank you for watching :) .. here is the soil mix video you can skip the mountain soil :) czcams.com/video/waz3DHo_PXQ/video.html

yes exactly ....the main thing is outdoors...that does the trick...90 percent of the issues are solved just by growing them outdoor and esp if the environment in your favour and i know many of people living in non tropical environment it impossible to keep them outdoor throughout the year due to frost .as you rightly said good light ..good air circulation that's it ...glad cinnamon powder is working well ..its def the best thing i came across had solved so many problems of mine lol

Thanks 😊

Thanks 😊

My pleasure

Thanks a lot

there are two method wet and dry you can check this link czcams.com/video/eGQugsy5GWY/video.htmlsi=zrRFo5-C6F2sGtds

you mean fertilizers ?

@@LushGardener yes

@@aparna8099 do you own nursery?

​@@bhanuprasadchalapaka5197no My own collection

usually people buy online but then packing it is a task ...but if you have a society group you can put them in small pots and put them for sale ..you get these small 2 inch pots they look neat ..and can easily hold one medium size succulent ..probably will share it in the next video :)

​@@LushGardenerthank you soo much

no flowering means growing season ...as its spring you said it means they are out of dormancy ..i would say cut the flowers off..once it grows a bit and you see the stalk... it will save the energy for the succulent to grow healthy..this will also reduce the risk of mealy bug infestation

:(

yes poultry grit is best ...many people use it :)

@@LushGardener ok thank you..I am going to buy today , because here it's raining every single day and I have had some that root rotted already.

aquarium or construction sand and little garden soil...i will share this video link check it ...i gather both from the roadside ..so its very inexpensive for me .....this type of soil will work best for your high humid climate

check this link its of my hindi channel czcams.com/video/CTZUXP82S8E/video.html

@@LushGardener I have used it but my succulent don't show root growth

root growth doesn't happen that quick it takes a while and pulling out the succulent to check the roots everytime will damage the succulent..you watch the video on how sand helps root growth in succulents czcams.com/video/MJZcZKaWL_w/video.htmlsi=ainFowaooAoAAuN5

@@LushGardener one off my succulent leave are turning yellow and I think I was over watering buy I have not water it for almost 10 day but still it's dropping leafs and turning yellow plz guide me how I can tackle this problem
