I’ve been waiting for this video Liz! Thanks for sharing your wisdom! XXXX
Revisiting this series of videos now ı have my hands on some seeds. Just wanted to thank you x
You're welcome and best of luck.
Loving this new seed series! Need moreeee
Thanks I enjoyed the video as always 😊❤
Omg finally a video about succulent seeds in CZcams. They look so cute when they're that small haha
Thank you, Liz, that's a very detailed tutorial. I will try in the future. Very interesting and rewarding 👏👏👏
thank you lizk for information of how to plant seeds ❤
My pleasure 😊
Thank you Liz !! Excelent !! 🙌

Good luck Jess!
Very interesting thank you Liz.
My pleasure Rosa. Thank you for watching.
Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing it!!!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
I got my seeds this afternoon in the mail from Sweden and I’m just taking a refresher course watching all of your videos in this series so I can get to work tomorrow. I got my first batch of seeds and I sowed them on Christmas day but I really don’t think they were viable. The person I got them from just have a lot of negativity and kind of scaring me away from being successful and it was a very reputable place online but I just don’t think it’s my fault why they didn’t germinate but just to be sure I still have them and I’m not giving up on them yet but just to be sure with this new batch I am re-educating myself. These seeds came from somewhere else and I personally know people who have had tons of success so I am very confident. And plus my first batch I think I made the mistake by choosing harder to grow succulents so we’ll see what happens. Keep your fingers crossed for me because this is the next step in my journey! If I am successful then the industrial greenhouse Goes up this summer heated and everything❤️❤️❤️🌵🌵🌵
Liz, should I leave the grow light on constantly until I see That they have germinated? Or should I be giving them some sleep time I guess what I’m asking is for the first 10 to 14 days should I just leave them under the grow light? I know after they sprout I want to give them a few hours of dark
I had the grow light on for 16 hours a day. They need some darkness to germinate. I had the big tub under the shelf (1.1 meters away) with cover on to maintain moisture and also not too close to the light to encourage the seeds to pop out looking for the source of light. I find the ones grown close to the light not having success for me. I kept the lid close for 5 days. On the 6th day, I kept the lid ajar to let the air circulate a bit during the day and pop it back on at night when I turned off the grow light and have it ajar again when I turned it back on the next day. Different plants will germinate differently. Good luck. I'll be keeping everything crossed for you.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thank you you just answered every single question I could not find answers to in any thing on the Internet about germinating succulent seeds! Thank you so much I think I will have success this time❤️❤️❤️
What is the best temperature for germination? I’ve had such conflicting advice 😢 Facebook groups in UK say Echeveria seeds don’t like temperatures above 20degrees centigrade whereas the people I have purchased seeds from (Sweden and UK) say 25 degrees centigrade and some up to 28 degrees centigrade is required with big night/day temperatures. Please can someone help me I’ve spent a fortune on seeds! 😅
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing succulents seeds lovely
You are so welcome. Thanks for watching.
Love your chanel
Thanks for sharing.... super great video .... 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed it
Great job
Excellent video thank you ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Lizk, love to learned all these from you...thank you for sharing i will try them all...🥰🥰🥰
Good luck Rose and hope you enjoy the process.
Hi Liz! New subbie from California here 😄 I'm also a plant addict that reuses household plastics for pots! I use a soldering iron ($10 on Amazon) to quickly make a ton of holes in lots of cups (sometimes I get extra small drinking cups for pots). You do have to plug it in but it doesn't take long to heat up
Great idea. I'm glad it works for you. Thanks for watching.🥰
Oh, gosh. I am having enough trouble keeping them alive much lest starting from seeds. I need to watch more videos.
Subscribed!
Thanks for watching and the sub Joshua.
good afternoon watching your video on how to plant the succulent seeds.. great video. I have a question, you indicate the ingredients seed starter, Vermiculite , granite and unidentified "other soil" please identify what is the "other soil"
thanks
Denise
That's all there is. No other soil. Cheers
Good morning😍😍
Good morning!
i would use 10-20 72 cell flats because her 17 day grow, spread a little thinner, would need no pricking out. the crushed granite is way too much work. some sand from the gutter, boil it, screen it the size you need
How long would you recommend leaving the top on the containers? Do you remove it once you have a decent amount of them sprouted? Love your channel 🙂

@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Ohh I must not have seen this video on your channel. Awesome, thank you so much!
👍
Hi Liz thanks for the video. Is it necessary to spray water lightly from the top?
In growing seeds, after the initial top watering of soil, I prefer to bottom water when plantlet emerge, since watering from the top can make them rot.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thanks 😊
😊
Wow amazing to see succulents growing from seeds. When they are 4 leaves, do you still cover them with the lid?
Sometimes. Depends on the moisture level.
I found a seed starting mix with peat moss, vermiculite, and lime, and a second mix with coco coir, worm castings, vermiculite, and perlite. Do you think using one of these mixes and sprinkling some sand on top will be good for succulents? I just can’t find a mix with the ingredients you mentioned.
Your help means a lot, thank you.
I can't really say since I haven't tried it. But it sounds okay. Please let me know how it goes. I'll be really curious to find out.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK
Alright, I will let you know how it goes.
Do you put them under lights to germinate?
Yes. These are all grown inside the grow tent under the grow light.
What’s the ideal temperature range for germination of Echeveria I find such conflicting advice 😢
20°C and above room temperature. But the most success I had was inside the grow tent with a constant 23°C to 28°C.
Also Liz, do you have Echevaria White Zaragoza? How do I multiply mine Please!?
Ahhh....White Zaragoza is what I call a Pantene plant. It won't happen overnight but it will happen. That means they need to mature(2years w/ mine) before they produce pups. Leaves can also be propagated but very slooow.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Thanks Liz! Know what you saying Pantene plant! Mine is flowering now! Have tried to pollinate! ? Do you think I have any chance with seeds ?
Hey Liz I enjoy you videos very much, Love your happy spirit. I have a question I thought maybe you will know from your experience...may seeding mixture is 1 part soil (peat) 2 part vermiculate and 1 part sand. I've noticed that when I bottom water the mixture before seeding, it takes a lot of time for the soil to absorbed the water (like an hour maybe more) I feel that something might be off, it should not take so much time. Did you encounter something similar? maybe its say something about the proportions? maybe its O.K? I would really appreciate your opinion
Peat can be hydrophobic. If using peat to grow seeds, may I suggest wetting your soil mix first before putting the seeds in. If you notice in the video, my soil mix is damp.
May I also suggest amending your soil mix. 1 part peat, 1 part sand and 1/4 part vermiculite would probably be a better mixture.
Then you can mix the seed with the sand and sprinkle it on top of your soil mix. Good luck.
I am trying my hand at growing succulents from seed, and they have sprouted already. Do I need to leave it covered, or let it be uncovered?
Once they sprouted, I keep the lid off but still make sure that the soil in the bottom stays moist(not wet) to encourage the roots to go down.
Is is alright if I use potting mix with compost containing organic yucca and coir instead of seed raising mix with added fertilizer? And can I use perlite instead of granite? I just can’t find granite and seed raising mix soil; I only found vermiculite.
I'm not familiar with organic yucca and coir. Maybe, you can try mixing it up. The only problem with having too much compost in seed raising soil mix is that it might encourage mold growth.
If I only have the substrate you have....I would mix, fine coconut coir and vermiculite as a main soil mix for germinating seeds and sprinkle a bit of coarse sand on top to keep the seeds down. I would also do a test run on a small amount of seeds to see if it works. Good luck. Hope it works.
Will desert sand work for sprinkling? Also, what should be in the seed raising mix then?
@@alinasmirnova5138 Desert sand is fine, as long as it doesn't have any salt(wash first if there is salt).
The seed raising mix I buy/used is composed of Coarse sand, Composted pine bark, Mineral fertilizers.
Is temperature important? I trying to germinate my albuca and greenovia but still babies out by 8 days. The seller told me temperature important
Both of them I believe prefers a moderate temperature preferably more on the colder side than hot side. Autumn is the best time for sowing.
How long do you keep the growlight on? 8 or 12 hours?
12 to 16 hours depending on the season. Shorter in winter and longer in summer.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thnx,I was given some Echeverria pollux seeds and want to give germination a try😅
You sel seeds I'm in Canada 🇨🇦
Not at the moment Maria. I'm still growing them. Don't have enough to sell. Thanks for watching.
Hi, I'm looking for graptoveria lovely rose seeds,
Do you have any and can I buy and send to Israel?
Thanks Angela
I don't have seed for them yet. Maybe next year. Thanks for watching.
Do u sterilize the soil? How to do that if you do?
The soil I used are shop bought so no need to sterilize, but the granite I placed in the oven for half an hour on 180°C.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Would Miracle-Gro or a more premium and organic potting soil mix work? Is the sand necessary?
Where do you buy your seeds? From your own plants?
Self grown.
Can you provide a safe site to buy seeds?
I'm sorry but I haven't bought seeds online before.
hi,can i buy seeds from you,thanks
I'm sorry Isabel but I'm not selling at the moment. I have to test grow the seeds I have before selling it to make sure that they will grow. Will definitely do a video to let you know when I'm ready. 🥰
Level it, just a little bit 😂
very nice ... can you sell some of you plant seeds to me ( philippines).
Maybe next season.
Cant wait
Do you sell your seeds?
Not at the moment. Thanks for watching.
Oi amor bom dia onde compro estas sementes estou endereçada em comprar
Eu não vendo. Eu apenas mostro como crescer e colher sozinho. Obrigado por assistir.
There are 3 succulents I WANT, but can only find as seeds... unless I want to PAY big bucks for them. 😢
I bought small ones in the past when it's still popular and paid good money only to find that the price goes down after a few months. Had I waited, I would have paid a lot less for the same size plant.
Succulents grow only from leaves, yeah we can grow cactus from seeds.. Both r different.. I have experience
This is unreal, so much explaining, so many details, so much talking about unnecessary stuff. Just follow nature, get some soil, plant place your seeds on it, barely cover it with the same soil, water it sparingly and you are done. If it's cold keep them inside by a window.
Some people are not experts like you profess to be and appreciate the detailed advice. Cheers
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK
I LOVE YOUR MUCH EXPLAINING! I thoroughly enjoy it. God bless you!!!! ❤️
My first attempt at growing lithops from seeds failed, As I had put so much effort into spacing and sifting and planting each type separately, I was very disappointed. I am going to buy the seeds and try again following LizK's recipe. I love how she goes into so much detail. She always gives extra valuable info. and often explains why, to give us a better understanding of the process. Well done Liz, great video.
If you are so unhappy with her videos then just don’t watch them. Let the rest of us enjoy them in peace.
@@brucecummings3166,hey jerkeei, how does my comment stop you or anyone from watching those videos? Merry Christmas!!!!! Oh, and a kiss.
