    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. 🧡💚💜

    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 .

    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 🥰

    • @LizKreate
      @LizKreate  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hose pressure might be too much and soil gets dispersed everywhere. Leaving a few days to dry up helps prevent root rot.

      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

    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?

    • @LizKreate
      @LizKreate  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Long term is better since most succulents only need a little fertilizer unless you want to grow them green and big fast.

    Its interesting to see such a water retentive and non-dense mix. Conventional wisdom would be to maximise drainage and minimise moisture. Then again, most people kill their succulents, conventional wisdom sucks. But this is actually pretty similar to mixes I see for small tropical plants like peperomia prostrata or ficus pumila, which is surprising. Main difference is using granite instead of pumice.

    • @LizKreate
      @LizKreate  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I find that pumice is a good substitute for decomposed granite for drainage and air circulation. In conjunction with a porous planter, it's an ideal environment for growing succulents. 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. ❤️❤️❤️

    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).

    • @LizKreate
      @LizKreate  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

    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!

    Hi Liz, I'm a little confused. So after using the propogating soil, do I use master soil mix or jump to the intermediate soil mix? I have some that are still babies and some to grow to fuller size, so don't know what soil to put them in. BTW I am also a canberrean so it's very educational to me as we live through the same climate!
    I also am a bit confused with the fertilisers seamungus or the grow Rite ones as I saw in one video you used grow Rite but then the master soil mix you used seamungus. One more question why do you soak the your succulents in soil wetter before potting them, what does that do and can this step be skipped? Sorry for all the silly questions but I've rewatched and rewatched and still don't get it lol 😂

    • @LizKreate
      @LizKreate  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Joanne, Are you aware of my other succulent channel? Just uploaded a propagation video. Regarding your questions...
      Depending on the plant or how you want it to grow will depend on the soil mix. Master soil mix is for general potting up. The propagation soil mix is basically a fine sifted Master soil mix with extra coco peat. If you're not sure...use master mix.
      If you want fast growing plants, then use Intermediate soil mix but you also have a risk of root rot if you get a lot of rain or if you watered the pot too much. The fertilizer(grow rite) is for Intermediate soil mix but plants will have less color.
      Soil wetter is like a tonic for the plant and quicker absorption. Plain water takes longer to get absorb by the plant.
