See this is why I tell everybody that you are my mentor! We are taught as beginners that full sun will color up your succulents. Now you have taught me to keep my Colorata in the shade to achieve its most beautiful colors. People need to stop giving blanket succulent instructions because not all succulents are the same! I absolutely adore my Colorata. I have two leaf propagations and one mother plant and she's in a 6-in terracotta pot but she's a little bit more open than yours is because she's under the grow lights but this is one of my most perfect plants. Not a blemish or mark on her. And one of the babies is already 2 in. It grew really fast and the other one I thought was a stem baby but it was actually growing off a leaf that I knocked off so I transferred it into the prop tray and it's got two heads on it it's still very small. But thank you so much for this video because as you know I will be moving my plants outside very soon and I would have just put her in the full sun with everything else.!!!
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK yes! I still have to put it up but I've already begun setting up my succulent area. It looks so good I'm so proud of myself! And I do have a slightly shaded area for my more shade loving ones LOL I actually have mostly shade dappled shade full sun and morning Sun areas!! The full sun is actually inside a dog kennel so I'm just going to drape the shade cloth over the cage. It's really nice I laid down weed cloth and then I put sawdust shavings and a big giant pallet and then I have on my shelves and everything in there. And I'm also going to do what you do with the wire around the lip of the terracotta pots I think the fencing is perfect for that!!
Hi Liz, not only you are a very patient grower, you’re smart and excellent teacher. I don’t have Echeveria Colorata, but I’m glad you mentioned about the length of time you obtained the desired size and look as some are faster growing than the others. You really have to be smart to know the the growing habits and needs of each and every succulents to be a successful grower. You make growing succulents easy for me and I thank you so much. I have not enjoyed growing succulents as much as I am enjoying now! 🙏❤️
After I watch your videos I feel like I have taken a class! I am identifying more by name at the nursery or on walks. I have had succulents for years, but now I want MORE BAAABIES! Precious, Liz. 🙏🏼❤️
A very helpful video Liz. I have 2 tiny babies I brought from Melbourne last autumn and they have only just started to do something ... I’m pleased you noted their very slow. Even though they are very small , they are still with their full colours . Cheers 🥂🌵🪴😷
These are so beautiful Liz, love all the information you give with each video. Can't wait for morning to find my Colorata now after watching this. I think I have a couple under my polycarbon shade cloth roof. Thank you.❤
Hi Dale, can I ask where you live please.. we are currently converting a shade cloth covered area with polycarbonate so that I can keep my succs in there all year instead of having to move them indoors to my husbands man cave every cold season. I’m in the Central West NSW. I’m interested to hear your take on polycarbonate for the succs please. Cheers
I heard the story of the succulent plant colorata. I haven't grown a colorata yet. Looking at your video, I also want to grow a colorata. You are separating the colorata baby from the mother~ I also have a succulent plant waiting for the roots to come out after separating the baby of Echeveria Agaboides.
Hi Liz, thank you for sharing this beautiful succulent. Just as what you have taught me about pulidonis and Hercules, it becomes more pink and beautiful in bright shade😍 I will love to have one in the future when there is opportunity. 🥰
Hi Ms. LizK, napakagaganda po ng mga video nyo po. So inspiring and hindi nakakasawang panuorin at pakinggan. Salamat po sa mga tips sa pagaalaga ng mga succulents. :)
Thank you for sharing Liz! I’ve been watching some of your other videos on succulent propagation and your DIY soil mixes for the past few weeks. I can’t tell you how thankful I am for your videos. I’m amazed at the size of succulents you grow and the size of your collection! I was hoping you could help me find a fertilizer that contains the humid acid you refer to in your “Master Soil Mix” video. The product you use, is very expensive to ship to the US so would you happen to know a similar one I can use? And maybe a similar product for the liquid you use to soak your succulent roots in.
Try looking for soil wetter or lawn wetter, grass wetter or for products that aerate soil or Liquid Aeration containing Sea kelp, humic and pulvic acid with micronutrients.
I have seen this video already but since I have just bought a colorata, I have to watch again. Lol. Parang review po tita. Thank you for your videos and sharing your knowledge po tita.
Hello Liz, I have been watching ur videos for over a nonth now. I have recently discovered ny love for succulents after losing 1 to over watering. Now eversince I have have bought few more of these babies, I am keen to learn more about them, especially the Dos & Don'ts of it. Certainly, your videos come ti my rescue. I am from India & weather at my place is hot & dry. Can u please share some tips on their care during summers until we get monsoon in June
This is so beautiful. Now I want to get one since you said it doesn't need for sun. I want to know if this is easy to take care of and will it rot easy? I have now lost my last Romeo to leaf rot. Taurus and Rubin also to leaf rot. I don't know why Liz? Could it be cos of the warm weather we had when I water it? Its not in the rain and only water when its dry. I was so upset that I don't want to own any Romeo types. 😩
Humid and hot temperature are disastrous. Better to keep them dry during summer and only water(soak) when the leaves gets really wrinkly. Colorata is so much easier to look after than Romeo.
Aloha Liz, So I went on Amazon to look for the liquid seaweed plant and soil conditioner, the search found things like organic liquid kelp, but it seems like fertilizer, it improves the conditions of the soil etc... there’s also soil conditioner I found on Amazon, Live Earth Products Humate Soil Conditioner. Any suggestions please? Mahalo nui and salamat po 🙏🏽

50% shade cloth first is always a safe bet b4 all out sun.

@@janetac1738 The pleasures all mine Janet. Sounds like you got it all sorted out. I'm nowhere near where I want to be with my organizing. Have fun.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK to be fair you have a heck of a lot more succulents than I do LOL and you're always so busy. This is all I do.

Thanks for watching and hope you find my videos useful.
Very informative and useful video. Will remember this when putting my coloratas outdoors for the summer 👌🏻💚🌱
Looking forward to the next video! I repotted and cut a big baby a couple of days ago!!!!
A very helpful video Liz. I have 2 tiny babies I brought from Melbourne last autumn and they have only just started to do something ... I’m pleased you noted their very slow. Even though they are very small , they are still with their full colours . Cheers 🥂🌵🪴😷
Once they settled in their new location, they will just surprise you with the speed of their growth.
Colorata are such gorgeous species! Quite surprising to know that they color up more in a shaded area. Thank you for this, ma'am! 🥰
My pleasure!

Growing succulents tips and tricks for summer are all in my videos. I can't generalized as each succulent have different needs.
This is so beautiful. Now I want to get one since you said it doesn't need for sun. I want to know if this is easy to take care of and will it rot easy?
I have now lost my last Romeo to leaf rot. Taurus and Rubin also to leaf rot. I don't know why Liz? Could it be cos of the warm weather we had when I water it? Its not in the rain and only water when its dry. I was so upset that I don't want to own any Romeo types. 😩
Humid and hot temperature are disastrous. Better to keep them dry during summer and only water(soak) when the leaves gets really wrinkly. Colorata is so much easier to look after than Romeo.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thanks Liz, I will remember for next time not to water when too hot. Is this the same for all other succulents as well?
@@Lisa-zi8dj This is the safer option for most succulents except for some very specific ones that loves water when it's hot.....LOL
Hi po 😀 mabuhay po from Philippines
Mabuhay yay '~'
Thank you! 😊
I have a lovely rose that has been stressed color but can't tell what color it is but nice video
Thank you! 😊
Gorgeous , I hope mine eventually looks similar to your one.

Hello, I’m Maria from Andorra 😜
Hello there!
I have 1 baby on my colorata..do I keep it in full sun or partial sun? I don't water too much.. its doing well
Mine has 2 heads...🤪🤪
Gaganda nila lahat, 🌵🥰🥰
Hi ms. Lizk... Maayong udto nimu
Same to you.
🤩🤩🤩
💜💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you 3x!
I wish I could have clay pot or terracotta pot
Have you tried growing from seeds?
Not yet. Will be doing that sometime this Spring.
How do you deal po with powdery mildew?
Air circulation maybe have a fan and keeping the soil dry helps.
Hello kumusta
whos the proud mum lol
