Well it’s really easy to get addicted to them and I’m so glad you are watching! I have always been drawn to the echies myself. I have others but they are my absolute favorite!!
thank you for this video! i've seen other videos saying to keep it in the sun, but i was always so disappointed that they ate up their leaves trying to get water. then my beautiful succulent would look lopsided with the lack of leaves! so i really appreciated knowing not to keep them in bright light in the beginning.
Thank you SO much for this video! I’ve been watching your other wonderful videos all weekend and slightly panicking since I have my first “bareroot” succulents coming in the mail next week. This video was super helpful...I now have some idea of what to do when my plants arrive. I do have a question, though. I know in your other videos you suggest mixing your own soil. I actually purchased two pre-mixed soils (Bonsai Jack and The Next Gardener) and was going to mix them together in a 70%-30% ratio since I heard the Bonsai Jack can be too fast draining, but I don’t know if that would be appropriate. If you can’t answer my question, I completely understand, but I very much appreciate your time and help. Thank you! 😊
Bonsai Jack is great but I just don’t use it because it’s too expensive. If you live in a really dry climate that mixture would be perfect. If you are a little nervous about overwatering you could just use the bonsai Jack but I think either way is fine as long as you know how to tell when they need water. I have a video on that but the bare root plants can just sit there for a bit :) so glad you’re watching ❤️
I order from a friend who has a wholesale license for her business and it’s her private supplier...but I do sell all the ones I get as low as I can and always try to beat anyone else’s Etsy prices. They always are so jaw-dropping!! ❤️
I just lost a beautiful echeveria cream beauty to stem rot because I didn't realize the bare roots weren't viable and able to take up water. Now I know what to do with these lovely imports to ensure it will survive. What is the advantage of bare root over a cutting with no roots? Or is there no big difference other than price? Cuttings seem a little cheaper.
@@Pixelated_Moon honestly no difference. They both need time to get new viable roots. I keep them in partial shade so they don’t dehydrate and wait for roots then water. Bare root is same as a cutting honestly. None can take up water. Both take same amount of time to get roots. Just different wording cause bare root sounds better
I just got a sedeveria crista. I'm not sure what to do because this is my first crista I've ever bought. Do I just plant it or should I use rooting horomone?
OMG I missed your last video I bet you it was me LOL Okay so what if you get a plant that has long roots and they call it bare root because it comes without soil. I always always have issues where those roots are no good. Because I water it and the plant I noticed ends up putting out its own Roots anyway and it stays dehydrated looking but it shouldn't because when I got it it had these long beautiful roots on them. But I actually think those roots probably end up dying through shipment or the seller is taking them out of the soil too soon. I think what I'm going to end up doing when that happens is just cutting those roots off and starting completely bare root
If the seller takes it out a little early and dries it out then it may look like it has tons of roots but they may be no good. They normally should be kinda tendered they’re good but if they are brown and dry they are probably not so good, so I’d treat it like bare root. And the last winner was T. Yeager but she never responded so now it’s Santa Mira!
Help !!!! My bare root stem has dried up and is hollow. I cut it to where it stopped turning brown, i think it was due to underwatering. Can it survive with literally no stem? It's a echeveria comptom carousel. I left it out in direct sunlight which was a mistake as i didn't realise. I just moved and didn't realise the sun was direct where it was placed.
Yes but make sure you cut off every single piece of stem that had brown (rot) in it. Lay it on dry dirt and out of sunlight. It should take a week or two to start making roots. By that time it will probably look thirsty so you could probably give it a little bit of water (if it looks thirsty only) - but they are so so sensitive so don’t give it much even if it is a little wrinkly. Better to do less than more. Main thing is to keep it from drying out right now since it has no roots. Good luck!!
@SweetSweetSucculents Thanks for responding and the advice ! I will definitely follow those steps. I tried to make a straight cut, but there was some rot around the edges, so I cut it off. Is that still going to root? Does that mean I overwatered it, then? Just 1 last question, I'm so sorry 😞. I also bought another bare root imported succulent, but the stem is curved, and it's hard to pot it in a pot without the end of the stem sticking out. It's about 3/4 inches. Should I cut the stem a bit to fit it in the pot?
@@pinkytoes200 yeah you could cut it just make sure to only put in dry dirt unless you let it callous over first. If the stem of the other one had black in it, then it was probably overwatered
i’m swooning over your plants!!!
Thank you! I've basically been doing the same and hearing that I've been doing the right thing is exactly what I needed right now 💚💚💚
I am amazed by your gorgeous plants and wealth of information. I adore those amazing echeveria.

You’re welcome! Yes, until they get roots they use what’s in their leaves, and the more sun and heat the more the lose! Glad this helps some :)
Lovely plants! Thanks for sharing! 🥰
Such beautiful echeveria...love it.
They are all so pretty! I love all the pink in them, especially the neon pink!
That’s the echeveria rainbow 🌈!
Beautiful Korean succulents 😊
Thanks friend!
Very beautiful Korean succulents. Do this procedure apply to string of pearls too, if you receive bare rooted?
Thanks for the info! Your succulents are to die for!! 💕
Thank you so so much!! ❤️💕
I did not know what bare root meant! I thought it meant it came without a pot 😂 thank you!
You’re welcome! I also didn’t know that at first
Thanks for the video! Cant wait for the next giveaway opportunity!
Thanks for watching!! I’ll do another one soon!!

What gorgeous succulents. Where did you order them from???

@@SweetSweetSucculents so do you sell your succulents? And if you do, where?
@@elizabethcarlson3634 I do, on FB and Etsy, same as my TH-cam name SweetSweetSucculents

Does it have roots already? If so, no need for rooting hormone
Do you have an instagram ,showing all of your babies off? :)

And yes if they’re dry it wouldn’t hurt to cut some off and let it re-root as long as you’re patient :)
Hi♥️❤️
Hello!
Hi. I am in Jamaica and have started collecting unusually coloured succulents. Yours are beautiful.
Help !!!! My bare root stem has dried up and is hollow. I cut it to where it stopped turning brown, i think it was due to underwatering. Can it survive with literally no stem?

@@SweetSweetSucculents Thank you. The Compton carousel was just like a medium brown colour when I broke off the stem and cut it.
