I live in the USA and I watch your videos in the morning with my cuppa coffee and I just love it
That is awesome Mary. Thank you for watching.
My god thats big cluster of Blue Haze is beautiful! Another 7 days of rain forecast for us here in Canberra 😮💨
I’ve been spraying Rose Shield for powdery mildew and moving the very wet ones under cover. Lots of rain and not enough ventilation is a recipe for disaster on my succulents🌧Every winter is a learning process❄️
I really need to buy some forceps. Thanks again for the video, keep up the great work, we love learning and building on our knowledge from you.
The weather's dreadful. It's windy when the suns out and no wind when it's raining. Recipe for succulent disasters. Was happy to see the sun today after the heavy frost in the morning.
We have had so much rain this summer! I’m quite thrilled that my plants have done very well. I do have all of my terra-cotta pots out in the open to the elements and they have done very very well. I did have to bring them all under cover only once and that was quite a job!!!
You have taught me that they will adapt and you have proven that time and time again. Of course we do have to step in to give them a little help. nobody wants to lose one of their beloved succulents.❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad to know it's working for you Janet. After all the time, love and care, it's good to know that all their efforts not wasted.
Thank you, Liz, for showing how to clean up the rotten leaves and care for the succulents. BTW, when you said you are going to leave the pot of Belladonna inside until spring, and the Chinese word on the pot "春" actually is " spring "😍
WOW!!! Thank you. That's cool.
What a treasure you are. Thanks for the valuable information. My succulents suffered some frost in Melbourne yesterday and I have saved a few thanks to you :-)
Wonderful! Thanks for watching.
Beautiful the blue bird.
Hi Liz ive been watching you since your early days, I would love to have individual videos centered around spefic climates. I'm in the tropics, sunny, HUMID and rainy South Florida. Succulents that thrive in my climate would be helpful.. I get tid bits of info from your past vids that's so informative but an entire episode would be so so helpful. I've used straight bonsai mix for the divas, but what rain won't kill, the extremely high humidity will. Like moonstones. It's heartbreaking! I don't have room for a growlight inside to bring my collection. Btw- the granite top dressing is deadly for my climate, it keeps too much moisture for too long the plant can't dry out fast enough to beat the humidity or next rain. Even using your tropics soil mix and covered areas. I have to use course bonsai mix ifor the dressing instead. But not as pretty as yours. The white gives a stunning contrast to the plant. Keep up with your addiction we are loving it! ❤
Here in Canberra, Australia, we have four seasons and 2020 and this year, we had a very wet record breaking years as far as rain is concern.
Last couple of summers, we had experienced Tropical weather in the sense that, we had high humidity, high temperatures and very wet. I've shown a few videos on how my succulents have fared in different soil and position.
There's a big difference between decomposed granite and crushed or non decomposed granite. I love my decomposed granite and have no issues with rotting plants grown with this dressing as shown in this video with the no drainage pot(De-granite dressing).
Every individual variety of plants have it's own different varying requirements such as soil, pot, position, weather, etc.
I used to grow Bonsai and find that the bonsai mix I used contains a lot of moisture holding substrate that moisture loving plants like; so I have never used them on my succulents. The Echeveria Atlantis pot(the one that rotted) is grown in my Intermediate soil mix(moisture retaining & rich) and so does the ones in the large rectangular pots.
I have a little bluebird, about 3.” I barely water it. Thank you, Liz, for your good advice. I adore you! 😘🙏🏼💚
Those “tweezers” are actually called hemostats. The best tool ever.
It’s been raining here in Baguio and my plants are getting pale some of them have etiolated.. I’m also afraid that mildew would grow since it’s very foggy here. I love your vlogs as usual and I learn so much! Hopefully I can rescue some of my succulents if I have casualties. Thank you Liz!
Just keep them dry (out of the rain) and make sure they get plenty of space and air circulation. An LED lamp can help with artificial lighting.
First one as usual😘😉
You're the best!
As always.... helpful video... thanks 😊
Thank you for another educational video for succulent lovers! People often say you have to replace the soil when root rot happens...do you agree?
Ideally yes, but sometimes it's not possible. I've tackled this issue on the next fungus and mold video. Thanks for watching and commenting Olivia.
Very beautiful succulent collections 😲😲👏👏
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing beautiful and succulents have a blessed day my friend
Thank you! You too!
Thank you for sharing Liz 🙏
You are so welcome. Thanks for watching.
Wonderful channel! Thank you very much! I am in California, and it looks like the climate is almost the same, so all videos are super helpful
Yes we do have almost the same weather, but where you are is more suitable for growing these plants.
I was waiting on this video miss Liz. The weather in Melbourne is shocking. Its been raining for weeks now a lot of my plants is sick.
Hope this helps.
I love your videos!
Thanks for watching Laura and glad to know you're enjoying my videos.
Hello!!! Oh my goodness !! So many of them 🥰 just gorgeous! 💓
Thanks so much 😊
I love your plants, just in case you wanted to drill into your stainless steel bowl you can if you use a diamond drill bit that’s how I drilled into mine
That's a great idea Crystal! Thanks!
Beautiful
Thank you.
Ah liz your blue bird is beautiful!
I think so too!
I've definitely need to get some of those grippers. I'm still sad about your Cante from the other day :(
Thanks Liz , nice video.
You’re welcome 😊
I didn't know any of Australia got frost. You must be in the southern part. Thanks for your great info. I use it as a good source of info on my succulents. I have a Perle von Nurnberg I suspect was bitten from the frost we had last week in Lake Charles, LA. We enjoy a subtropical climate here, but get an occasional frost and sometimes a light freeze, so during the winter time I have to be mindful of the 7 day forecast and bring my plants inside if the temperature drops too low. Thanks again for your great videos.
I'm in Canberra, Australia. Last winter, we had a very wet and cold(some frost), worst combo for succulents. I only have a couple of casualties but no PVN. They have survived(thrived) with flying colors.
Saved to playlist and download in case of emergency 🤣🤣
Me too!!
hi lizk. i adore your work. really great videos. i see your succulents are free from dust. can i have a tips?
We've had lots of rain lately that's why they're all washed and clean.
Thank you Liz for the video.. =)
No problem 😊
Very beautiful collections of succulent really 👏👏
Thanks you and thanks for watching.
Pedro is sooo cuteee!!! 😍♥️ @7:43
Very helpful video.😊

The sun will come out tomorrow...Sana...
Hi Liz! I have been binge watching your videos for weeks now preparing for all my babies that arrived this past Saturday! I made your tropical soil mix and I actually found Maifan stone for a top dressing!!! I'm in Florida so it has been quite a tricky challenge to get the same materials you use over in AU! haha Didn't have enough to actually use in place of the pumice yet but I'm happy I have it as a top dressing for now until I the rest of my orders come in. It was also very hard to find granulated Diatomaceous earth but I eventually did!
This is off topic from the point of my comment, but a side note for you and anyone else who reads this comment, SEASOL IS AVAILABLE IN THE U.S. THROUGH THE COMPANY "EARTHSOL"!!!! I believe they are currently based in CA. I have been on the phone with them twice this week inquiring about a non-bulk shipment to FL but I have not had luck getting any info yet. They seem busy? Maybe if enough of us bother them they'll make distribution around the states more accessible!!!!!! Maybe we should all bombard them haha
Ok, back to my question... So I got all my new babies potted up yesterday and I thoroughly cleaned the roots and soaked them all in seaweed soil wetter (as equivalent to Seasol as I could find and followed dilution recommendations on the bottle), but I am nervous that I shouldn't have soaked the plants that already had wet-ish roots, it just really helped remove excess soil that was caked on😓 (Most of the plants got delivered in 4" pots and some were recently watered before shipping). **Your opinion on if that was a bad decision?**
My soil was damp to the touch, but I did get all terracotta for everything, and the pots seem to be draining well as the pebbles in the pot tray are darkened from the moisture. I have 2 young Graptopetalum amethystinum who barely have a root system. Checking on it today, the bottom leaves are getting limp and squishy and they're supposed to be round and plump. They resemble and feel like a marshmallow when you squish them! Like identical! haha I have been endlessly searching through your videos, but I am still feeling confused as to how to identify what my plant needs based on inspecting it. **Do you have a single video that goes into much more detail about diagnosing what your plant needs based on its leaves and stem?** I could watch about an hour of that haha
And the last question, **what would be your initial thoughts on why my lavendar pebbles have marshmallow leaves? And if the marshmallow leaves are due to too much water in their already plump leaves, what do you recommend for this?!** I feel like I couldn't find my answer in your videos yet, but I'm sure it's there somewhere LOL I feel like the biggest thing I've learned is "don't panic" haha
(Btw, I do have a new SpiderFarmer grow light and I am tracking PPFD values with a new meter I just got so we are good there. They also have a small fan circulating the air.)
P.S. you are an angel and I LOVE watching your videos! I am constantly laughing, and I just LOVE your scientific approach to growing them. It's perfect. You are a breath of fresh air!
Thanks for watching Robin. Regarding your question...*Do you have a single video that goes into much more detail about diagnosing what your plant needs based on its leaves and stem?*
This is very tricky to answer as one can't generalize since there are so many Genus and species of plants. I prefer to call succulents as plants as using the word succulents is where a lot of people get in trouble. Different plants will have need different needs.
In diagnosing what succulents needs....is no different to diagnosing what other plants needs. One has to know the plant name and care is specific to that plant or species of plant.
For example, though coming from the same family, Tomato plant will have different needs to Roses. My point here is that Echeveria have different needs to Graptopetalum. I can soak "certain species" of echeveria for days and will thrive but other species will rot.
Graptopetalum amethystinum is the same. If it barely has any roots, I'd advice not to soak it in anything as this will accelerate rotting. I would just plant it straight away in a MOIST soil and let the plant just do it's thing.
A video below of my recent plant haul that I've potted might be useful to you. Wishing you all the very best. Cheers
HOW TO POT UP NEW Korean & Japanese Succulent Plant from Haul WJ Succulents - czcams.com/video/QXVZaAPvIsM/video.html
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Omg, thank you SOOO much for responding! I believe I have already watched it, but I will watch it again and keep studying it! Been taking notes for weeks on your videos.
In regard to specific needs for each genus, species and variety - this has literally been one of the most difficult pieces of information I've been trying to research. I've been researching for weeks now and it's exhausting. I feel like I only end up more confused in the end b/c of (1) Cannot find specific enough details about their needs, it's usually way too broad and general (not always the case, but it's very hard to find) and (2) It is nearly impossible to find someone sharing information about a particular succulent that also discloses what climate/condition they're growing it in and then give examples of how that can vary in different climates or scenarios. So you are left with conflicting information on how to care for a particular succulent and you don't know under what conditions required that care they advised. You have been the only one I have found who gives actual examples of what to do in different climates, situations or conditions.
I swear, any vlog, blog, CZcams-er, etc. that ever made/makes a broad/blanket statement proclaiming succulents to be "easy" should just be banned for posting misinformation LOLOL
I wish someone had just said, "You're basically going to have to trial and error every single factor that could ever affect them until you get it right and spend lots and lots of money in the process." Back to the drawing board I go.
😂💸
Hi Liz, love your tweezer scissors. Are they easy to obtain? My big tweezers don't have strong grip. Thank you. Love your videos
They're called locking forceps. There's plenty available online.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thank you.
How come all the time clean babes areas .not me .
I'm MD in USA.l used steaness ball in korean. I love with coffees
I love most the succulent which named as Belladonna😄😄
YES!!!! Just like Donabella.🥰
what fertilizer do you advice for healhty succulent.
I use SEAMUNGUS by Neutrog and Powerfeed by Seasol. But if you can't get these, any fertilizer with a 10/10/10 NPK ratio is good.
Hi Liz, can you please suggest the soil mix to grow succulents in the gutters during winter in South Australia. It's rain all week. Is coconut coir will hold too much water?
I would suggest using my Advance Soil mix or my Tropical Soil mix. Link below the video.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thank you so much Liz for answer my question. I'm using tropical soil mix use pumice, zeolite, diatomite etc, but I'm worry about coconut coir in this mix. Is it going to hold too much water?
@@sopanaoneill8186 Coconut coir dries pretty quick but may I suggest to ALWAYS try it out first on common plants before using it on your expensive plants.
What is the white netting you use over your outdoor area?
It's called a SHADE CLOTH 50% UV.
Liz, all my delosperma die. What do you recommend?
Delosperma hates water. I have mine growing in the pot outdoors and they are bursting due to too much rain. Some parts rotting but most of the plant is alive. They can handle frost and loves the sun but dislikes too much fertilizer and wet soil. Propagating is easy. Cut and plant in moist(not wet) soil and forget. Water by soaking when soil is completely dry.
Hi Liz, what is that solution you are spraying with at the 14:00 mark? Thank you!
It's my Metho fix. Video link below. Thanks for watching.

@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Thanks again for your great help Liz! Happy planting! :)
Hi po mabuhay💯
I need to be more brave with my plants. 😅
Hi what do you mix to make the fungicide & pesticide pls ?
This is all I use. Hope this helps.

Won’t the roots rot from all the water?
Most of my plants didn't and I put this down to the right soil mix and pot combination.
❤
Its really normal to have casualties right Maam Lizk? Ive 5 today the stem rots so I cut whatever I can salvaged from it😢
Yes it's normal. I too have many casualties. The trick is to get them on time to be able to save some leaves at least to propagate so that one doesn't entirely lose the plant. I find that Plants that have died on me and I grew from salvage leaves tend to be far stronger plants than the mother plant.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Thanks for this Maam. Its kinda heart breaking to see them suddenly rotten when just yesterday it was looking ok😿 I was just wondering the reason behind the stem rot when I just water bottom them overnight and pour vermicast half the teaspoon😰 and it is summer now, they are all on our roof deck with ceiling on it🥴
My baby lace aloe is mushy and rotted how can I fix it?
Try and remove as much of the rot as you can. Keep it in a bright dry place. Some will grow back but some also dies.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK should I keep it in full sun or just partial sunlight? I give it morning sunlight only after that it gets only bright light.
@@anya2624 No direct sunlight. Good luck.
Like🌈🌈🌈👍👍👍😝😝😝
