Aww... thank you! Yes, sometimes I look at my mess of a propagation station and feel like I'm insane 😅 but I do love being surprised by plants when they bounce back or bloom
That sounds great! We also just had a very hot Summer here in California. There were some plants that did great, some losses, and a few succulents I took out and put in the shade to recover and then they bounced back. Best of luck with your plantings, sounds beautiful.
It can totally depend on the type of succulent, but generally they love direct sunlight and will put out brighter colors in the sunlight. Saying that, they might have to be eased into direct, hot sunlight if they have previously been in a shaded area. Like people... they can get sunburned if they're not used to being in the hot sun! You can get them used to it gradually, put them in the sunlight for an hour and then add another hour of sun day by day. As far as cold goes, again, it depends on the particular succulent, some, like hens and chicks are very cold hardy, but others such as Echeveria, Crassula, and Aloe won't survive a freeze or a long frost, but some can tolerate a light frost. I am in California 9B/10A - so it gets hot, but it is very dry and we rarely get any cold snaps. Hope that helps!
I just recently discovered your channel. I've never done too well with succulents. Either too much water or not enough... lol I live in NEPA I'm not sure how cold resilient succulents are.... I would love to try them again....
Succulents can be tough outside of a desert environment, and they are picky about water! My main advice is BRIGHT indirect light, and they like it warm - so a bright, warm windowsill can be good. Only water when the soil is completely bone dry - or if they start to shrivel and get wrinkled - then give them a good, deep watering. There are some varieties that can withstand frost, such as hens and chicks, but for the most part, soft succulents will need to stay above 40 degrees - the water in their leaves will freeze otherwise, and they'll turn to mush. Some succulents also go dormant in the winter - it's worth doing a google search to try and find hardy, cold-tolerant succulents. Hope that helps!
Succulents are SUPER resilient! I bet you can save it. Is it just a stem now? The stems can be potted up and left in the shade and they often start to re-grow leaves.
Most succulents are not frost resistant, unfortunately. So they need to be kept above 40 degreesF. Many people bring succulents indoors or in a greenhouse overwinter, so that's always an option too.
Just beautiful!
Thank you!
Incredibly inspirational! Thanks for sharing the evolution of this planting!
I just love your channel. It’s great. I’m exactly like you with plants. I give everything a chance.

It looks really good! You’ve inspired me to do something similar with parts of the retaining walls in our garden.
Thank you, and that's awesome to have given you some inspiriation!
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Have just done similar using an old tree stump that has developed a few holes, now to see if it survives our NZ summer.

Simply beautiful !!❤️😊
Thank you! 😊
That looks so nice with all the colors.
Thank you so much! Yes, the colors are such a wonderful surprise with these plants ✨
Fantastic! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
Thank you this is a great idea, now I can take those excess succulent out and replant them where it’s going to grow more 👩🌾👍👍♥️😊
So glad this could be helpful! Succulents can be so resilient and abundant.
Very nice. Can succulents take all day direct sunlight and how cold tolerant are they. I live in Pensacola Fl in zone 9B

@@maryzeigler7620 So glad if I could help! Best of luck with your plants!! 💚
Good morning? My dog ate one of my succulents but he left the bottom root . Can I still save it? And how?

Thank you so much! 🥰
I live in Colorado, can succulents survive outside in the winter??
