Smart lady presenting good information and her presentation feels like very useful common sense way. She should be rightfully proud of her succulent collection, just outta this world. Thank you for the information
Hope it was useful Donna! Thanks for watching.
Hi Liz, I just reported trap drip spam bott that just slammed your comments.
I loved every minute of this video, you have a healthy happy beautiful garden. Succulents are such a spunky plant, keep up the great work. I've used a similar master soil in commercial nurseries, they love it. All your tips are spot on, the big barky stuff that you sieved is far better than rocks or broken up pots as a filler or drainage in the bottom of pots, it's not encouraging root rot. And I'm a cheapie so love the tray sieve idea too. Thank you for sharing your loves with us, they're wonderful. 🧡💚💜
Thanks sweetie. That weirdo is really annoying. Such a waste of time.
Thanks again for watching and glad to know I'm on the right track with my soil. Cheers, Liz
To get to the soil recipe without watching the video or seeing the beautiful succulents, please go to 2:50 of the video. Cheers, Liz
Wow! I just found the Martha Stewart of succulents!!! (That is a compliment) Wow Wow Wow!!! PERFECTION!!!!! So amazing.
Thank you for your kind comment.

Best potting mix for succulent plant thanks for sharing friend
You're welcome and thanks for watching.
This is exactly what I was looking for(: And I’m proud of myself for coming to the same conclusion after loosing to many succulents and trying my own soil combinations for better success . I haven’t used the granite, but I’ll buy some for the future. I’ve been using Espoma organic Plant Tone, and so far they seem to love it. I love your organized soil system ( I’m going to look for that flexible orange container you used) , and I have to get that puffer! That’s very effective . Thank for all the tips; I just subscribed (:
I'm glad the video is useful. The red flexible bucket is a 42L Oblong Flexi Tub I bought from Bunnings warehouse here in Australia. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
You are very good teacher for all your beautiful plants,my dream cm true,I'm so happy cause you share your idea with all your perfect garden,thanks a lot,nd God bless you and your hands for everything you done nd share,🌵
Thank you for all the tips
I’m so glad I found you on TH-cam
Beautiful plants and nice information, stay connected friend
Can't just stop your videos and learn new things every time. Can i use perlite instead of Granite decompose?
Oh my gosh! I use the big stuff as filler too! Funny how a lot of things I see you do, I naturally tend to do since learning about succulents 😊
Only, the big “stone I use as top dressing.
Wow verry beautiful succulent plants thanks for sharing 👌👌👌👌I am your new friend stay connected please
The best video on the subject, thank you.
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching.
Please do the propagation soil soon. Love your succulents and your videos are just so well explained and easy to follow. Thank you very much!!
Hi Natasha, I do have a propagation soil mix video in my other succulent channel called "Growing Succulents with LizK." I have a lot more succulent related videos there and won't be posting anymore succulent video in this channel if you'd like to check it out.

HOW TO: My BEST Succulent Propagation Soil Mix | GSWLizK - th-cam.com/video/Q-XEjJFUGVI/w-d-xo.html
I’m just curious what would be bad about using a hose to remove the old soil? Also why do you leave it for a few days after wetting soil? Is that so it dries out? If so then do you water it in after repotting since it’s now dry? I have so many questions lol you’re literally the succulent whisperer 🥰
Hose pressure might be too much and soil gets dispersed everywhere. Leaving a few days to dry up helps prevent root rot.
Hey Liz, I am a beginner and I love succulents. I am really disappointed on myself for killing my healthy and beautiful succulents inspite of doing the best for potting mixes. I am trying to save the rest in Indian summers. I loved your video and it's the best one I feel. I subscribed too. Please continue sharing more care tips, soil mixes, temperature requirements, etc. I totally loved this one and will redo my potting soil.
Any tip on maintaining them in summer would great. Thanks a lot.
Thanks for watching and subscribing Umang. Growing succulents I find that they are sensitive to moisture level in the air or areas where there's high humidity, so a very dry soil mix would be better. If you're using the recipe for my Master Succulent Soil Mix, I would advice to add 50% more granite to this mix and only water once you see the bottom leaves start to dry up or become soft to the touch. Hope this helps. Cheers, Liz
Hello Ms Lizk. Enjoy watching your babies, sooo beautiful and amazing. Stay safe Kabayan.

My Dear, FANTASTIC! I know it may seems almost silly for one not to know how to use soil 🥴. However?!
For me, being somewhat new to my succulents 🌱. Even though I’ve been planting for decades. Succulents are different. I am now and since I have most of the items. Getting the brick and granite. Thank you for sharing your soil mix. So happy now.
🤗🌱🤗
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I’ve been so excited for this video!
Thank you very much for sharing all your insight and experience! I'm hoping you might have time to answer one question. I've been unable to find pellet or granular Humic Acid that dissolves in the soil in a short time. The choices I have are granular Humic Acid that's for long-term soil treatment/activation or Liquid Humic Acid that acts very quickly. Which would you recommend?
Long term is better since most succulents only need a little fertilizer unless you want to grow them green and big fast.

@@LizKreate Thank you. I just subscribed to the channel.
Liz you should buy a concrete mixer. To mix your soil. I worked for a cactus succulent lady who made her own soil mix everything in a concrete tumbler .
I used to have a concrete mixer that I used for mixing my soil and cleaning my rocks. Someone gave it away on me...LOL Thanks again for watching and commenting Erinn. Cheers, Liz
I'm trying to change the soil from peat moss which it made my succulent root rot a lot when it dry.
Good luck. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
I had to rewatch this video this morning because I've been making my own decomposed granite LOL I told you I have a lot of granite around my house so I've been doing a lot of "mining" lately and smashing a lot of rocks so when I get bigger pieces of the granite I just wrap them up in a towel and smash them with a hammer . I really just wanted to see the size of the granite you put inside of the soil mixture. I've also been using a strainer to strain out the fine particles because even though it's a bigger grain of sand than beach sand it's still too fine. I made the mistake when I first started of using playground sand or sandbox sand in my soil and it basically just turned to cement and suffocated a lot of my plants. I also have my own compost we have an old horse manure pile that's well over 10 years old so the bottom of the pile has been worked through by worms and it is pure black gold!! after running boiling water through it and letting it dry up I've even put it up a few small small plants with just that compost and they are thriving. but keep in mind it's not just straight compost it's been there for so long that I can use it on its own. ❤️❤️❤️
You been a busy girl. I used to put some dried cow manure straight onto my soil mix. Only problem was the weeds/grass kept popping up but my succulents loved it.
Very amazing soil have a blessed day
Soil mix video!! Thanks Liz!! 😃😃
Liz - a great filler that's CHEAP & ENVIRO-FRIENDLY is PACKING PEANUTS!! They take up lots of soil space, they don't break down under the soil, and it's great to recycle them instead of trashing them!! 😉
Thanks for the tips!

With granite chips around the succulent , how do we know when the soil is dry and it needs watering
You can either use a moisture tester or lift the pot to feel the weight or you can also tell by looking at the leaves. I just started a purely succulent channel called "Growing Succulents with LizK."

Hello Liz! Congratulations for your channel. Could you share with us your propagation soil mix?
I've tried a few propagation mix and the one I find works best for me is straight coconut peat or coco coir/peat. Hope this helps. Cheers, Liz
@@LizKreate thank you so much for your reply!! I will try it!
@@LizKreate i have watched your todays video for granite and you said you are using the fine granite in your propagation mix. So is not just coco peat? Since i cannot find granite can i use lava powder. It contains minerals as well. If yes what is the composition? When yoy have the time I would love to see a video on your propagation method.
Thanks for the great lesson🌷🌷🌷

Where did u get your granite stones here in Australia?
I was wondering the same thing
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge... I had been growing succulent for 1 and a half years but my succulent are not very healthy inspite of trying every self experimented soil mix.I had failed in growing crasulla baby necklace lots of time. Can you help me with the care and tips?
For a Hen and Chicks succulent what would be the proper mix for it? Doing so well, but time to move it to a real pot (though that will be hard to do with the decorative pot it came in for Day of the Dead).
Any premium potting mix that's fast draining is ideal for this plant. Autumn through spring is their growing season and also perfect time for repotting.

You can use crushed granite, used for paving and driveways and are available at landscaping suppliers. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
Wonderful video... I am a novice and have collected in the past couple of months abt 50 succulents. I am afraid to use soil other than succulent mix with perlite. Not as confident as you.🌵
Maybe try with the cheap one's and see how they grow. Good luck and happy experimenting. Cheers,Liz

Extremely helpful video, but I personally find this mix too heavy for Northern or Central Europe countries. It would just hold too much water and dry forever:(.
But I agree that may be super awesome mix for hot climate outdoors. ❤
pretty cool collection, thanks
Hi Liz. I live in Melbourne and i have been looking all around for any suppliers of decomposed granite. but to no avail. i bought some granitic sand and sieve the sand and washed the rest and found some small brown granite. i think only in your area that got those decomposed granite. you are very2 lucky in that case. any other alternative? tks

Liz thank you for the easy teaching, I am starting growing succulents. I got all the ingredients for the master mix, I am lost on the part of the organic fertilizer pellet forms with seaweed, fish, manure and humic acid, can you tell me the name of the products. Thank you. The crush granite in bags you can get it from the improvement stores Garden.
This comment just showed up on my feed 6 months maybe too late. The product is SEAMUNGUS only available in Australia I believe. But you can also use other form of organic fertilizer. I get my granite locally.

Hi, thanks for the video! I couldn’t find any perlite or normal cactus/succulent soil. All I could find was normal potting soil mixture, which at the very least had some perlite and coconut coir. I don’t have much to add to it but some rocks and pebbles that I have around my home. Will those rocks and small pebbles help when mixed with normal potting soil mixture? If so, how should I put them into my pot with the potting soil mixture? I have an Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg and a Aloe Mitriformis. The Echeveria is dying because it was overwatered when I bought it at the store, so I have it drying outside with no soil. But I’m afraid to add the normal potting soil mixture to it. Will those rocks and pebbles help the normal potting soil mixture when I repot my Echeveria? Many thanks!
Thank you, that was great

Love love love your videos. I have learned a lot as a newbie. I really enjoy it. Just a quick question, after I potted my succulents into the master soil mix, some of them got root rotted. Is that because my soil is too wet?
Could be a number of things. Depends whether it's cuttings or rooted plants. Hope this videos will help. This is from my other succulents channel. Cheers

same here
I wish I can go to your place I love succulents and I want to have as many as what you have too. Thank you so much succulents are so sensitive i wish i can take care of them too well i havent started yet but I will
Thanks for watching Beverly. I find that in growing succulents, one has to "Be mean to keep them keen." It means to not fuss over the succulent too much. The major factor in killing succulents is over-watering. The plant will tell you when it needs a drink. Wishing you all the very best in your new venture. Cheers, Liz
Thank you for sharing I learned a lot Will it be good for jade plant?
Yes as it is (no amendments), definitely good for jade plant/crassula orbiculata. This soil is good for most succulents and can be amended to suit different species. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
question plse... the amount of fertilizer you used was about eight pellets, is is worth it to mix it in or rather give each pot two pellets. ciz which pot will have fertilizer at the end of the day?
Hi Jaco, Succulents don't need much fertilizer and there's more than enough if not too much for the amount of soil mix shown which is about two litres. I find that the way I mix the soil distributes the pellets evenly as they don't stay as pellets but break apart as it's being worked. Thanks for watching. Take care. Cheers, Liz
Hi Liz. Would you please tell me where do you buy the Decomposed Granite and the fertiliser or what brand are they separately? Thanks.
The decomposed granite I get from a landscaping supplier. Please watch my videos on my other channel to tell what type of granite to get. I'll link the video below.

Hi,may I know the decomposed granite is same the black granite.Is possible I use the black granite because can't find the decomposed granite.
You can use Maifan stone available online. Also scoria or pumice will do.
I'm curious what type of organic compost you use? I was looking at a bag at lowes called black kow and wanted to know if that would be good to use?
Below is a link to the organic compost that I use.
