    We have had so much rain this summer! I’m quite thrilled that my plants have done very well. I do have all of my terra-cotta pots out in the open to the elements and they have done very very well. I did have to bring them all under cover only once and that was quite a job!!!
    You have taught me that they will adapt and you have proven that time and time again. Of course we do have to step in to give them a little help. nobody wants to lose one of their beloved succulents.❤️❤️❤️

    I’ve been spraying Rose Shield for powdery mildew and moving the very wet ones under cover. Lots of rain and not enough ventilation is a recipe for disaster on my succulents🌧Every winter is a learning process❄️

    Hi Liz ive been watching you since your early days, I would love to have individual videos centered around spefic climates. I'm in the tropics, sunny, HUMID and rainy South Florida. Succulents that thrive in my climate would be helpful.. I get tid bits of info from your past vids that's so informative but an entire episode would be so so helpful. I've used straight bonsai mix for the divas, but what rain won't kill, the extremely high humidity will. Like moonstones. It's heartbreaking! I don't have room for a growlight inside to bring my collection. Btw- the granite top dressing is deadly for my climate, it keeps too much moisture for too long the plant can't dry out fast enough to beat the humidity or next rain. Even using your tropics soil mix and covered areas. I have to use course bonsai mix ifor the dressing instead. But not as pretty as yours. The white gives a stunning contrast to the plant. Keep up with your addiction we are loving it! ❤

      Here in Canberra, Australia, we have four seasons and 2020 and this year, we had a very wet record breaking years as far as rain is concern.
      Last couple of summers, we had experienced Tropical weather in the sense that, we had high humidity, high temperatures and very wet. I've shown a few videos on how my succulents have fared in different soil and position.
      There's a big difference between decomposed granite and crushed or non decomposed granite. I love my decomposed granite and have no issues with rotting plants grown with this dressing as shown in this video with the no drainage pot(De-granite dressing).
      Every individual variety of plants have it's own different varying requirements such as soil, pot, position, weather, etc.
      I used to grow Bonsai and find that the bonsai mix I used contains a lot of moisture holding substrate that moisture loving plants like; so I have never used them on my succulents. The Echeveria Atlantis pot(the one that rotted) is grown in my Intermediate soil mix(moisture retaining & rich) and so does the ones in the large rectangular pots.

    I didn't know any of Australia got frost. You must be in the southern part. Thanks for your great info. I use it as a good source of info on my succulents. I have a Perle von Nurnberg I suspect was bitten from the frost we had last week in Lake Charles, LA. We enjoy a subtropical climate here, but get an occasional frost and sometimes a light freeze, so during the winter time I have to be mindful of the 7 day forecast and bring my plants inside if the temperature drops too low. Thanks again for your great videos.

      Delosperma hates water. I have mine growing in the pot outdoors and they are bursting due to too much rain. Some parts rotting but most of the plant is alive. They can handle frost and loves the sun but dislikes too much fertilizer and wet soil. Propagating is easy. Cut and plant in moist(not wet) soil and forget. Water by soaking when soil is completely dry.

    Hi Liz! I have been binge watching your videos for weeks now preparing for all my babies that arrived this past Saturday! I made your tropical soil mix and I actually found Maifan stone for a top dressing!!! I'm in Florida so it has been quite a tricky challenge to get the same materials you use over in AU! haha Didn't have enough to actually use in place of the pumice yet but I'm happy I have it as a top dressing for now until I the rest of my orders come in. It was also very hard to find granulated Diatomaceous earth but I eventually did!
    This is off topic from the point of my comment, but a side note for you and anyone else who reads this comment, SEASOL IS AVAILABLE IN THE U.S. THROUGH THE COMPANY "EARTHSOL"!!!! I believe they are currently based in CA. I have been on the phone with them twice this week inquiring about a non-bulk shipment to FL but I have not had luck getting any info yet. They seem busy? Maybe if enough of us bother them they'll make distribution around the states more accessible!!!!!! Maybe we should all bombard them haha
    Ok, back to my question... So I got all my new babies potted up yesterday and I thoroughly cleaned the roots and soaked them all in seaweed soil wetter (as equivalent to Seasol as I could find and followed dilution recommendations on the bottle), but I am nervous that I shouldn't have soaked the plants that already had wet-ish roots, it just really helped remove excess soil that was caked on😓 (Most of the plants got delivered in 4" pots and some were recently watered before shipping). **Your opinion on if that was a bad decision?**
    My soil was damp to the touch, but I did get all terracotta for everything, and the pots seem to be draining well as the pebbles in the pot tray are darkened from the moisture. I have 2 young Graptopetalum amethystinum who barely have a root system. Checking on it today, the bottom leaves are getting limp and squishy and they're supposed to be round and plump. They resemble and feel like a marshmallow when you squish them! Like identical! haha I have been endlessly searching through your videos, but I am still feeling confused as to how to identify what my plant needs based on inspecting it. **Do you have a single video that goes into much more detail about diagnosing what your plant needs based on its leaves and stem?** I could watch about an hour of that haha
    And the last question, **what would be your initial thoughts on why my lavendar pebbles have marshmallow leaves? And if the marshmallow leaves are due to too much water in their already plump leaves, what do you recommend for this?!** I feel like I couldn't find my answer in your videos yet, but I'm sure it's there somewhere LOL I feel like the biggest thing I've learned is "don't panic" haha
    (Btw, I do have a new SpiderFarmer grow light and I am tracking PPFD values with a new meter I just got so we are good there. They also have a small fan circulating the air.)
    P.S. you are an angel and I LOVE watching your videos! I am constantly laughing, and I just LOVE your scientific approach to growing them. It's perfect. You are a breath of fresh air!

    • @GrowingSucculentswithLizK
      @GrowingSucculentswithLizK  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching Robin. Regarding your question...*Do you have a single video that goes into much more detail about diagnosing what your plant needs based on its leaves and stem?*
      This is very tricky to answer as one can't generalize since there are so many Genus and species of plants. I prefer to call succulents as plants as using the word succulents is where a lot of people get in trouble. Different plants will have need different needs.
      In diagnosing what succulents needs....is no different to diagnosing what other plants needs. One has to know the plant name and care is specific to that plant or species of plant.
      For example, though coming from the same family, Tomato plant will have different needs to Roses. My point here is that Echeveria have different needs to Graptopetalum. I can soak "certain species" of echeveria for days and will thrive but other species will rot.
      Graptopetalum amethystinum is the same. If it barely has any roots, I'd advice not to soak it in anything as this will accelerate rotting. I would just plant it straight away in a MOIST soil and let the plant just do it's thing.
      A video below of my recent plant haul that I've potted might be useful to you. Wishing you all the very best. Cheers

      @@GrowingSucculentswithLizK Omg, thank you SOOO much for responding! I believe I have already watched it, but I will watch it again and keep studying it! Been taking notes for weeks on your videos.
      In regard to specific needs for each genus, species and variety - this has literally been one of the most difficult pieces of information I've been trying to research. I've been researching for weeks now and it's exhausting. I feel like I only end up more confused in the end b/c of (1) Cannot find specific enough details about their needs, it's usually way too broad and general (not always the case, but it's very hard to find) and (2) It is nearly impossible to find someone sharing information about a particular succulent that also discloses what climate/condition they're growing it in and then give examples of how that can vary in different climates or scenarios. So you are left with conflicting information on how to care for a particular succulent and you don't know under what conditions required that care they advised. You have been the only one I have found who gives actual examples of what to do in different climates, situations or conditions.
      I swear, any vlog, blog, TH-cam-er, etc. that ever made/makes a broad/blanket statement proclaiming succulents to be "easy" should just be banned for posting misinformation LOLOL
      I wish someone had just said, "You're basically going to have to trial and error every single factor that could ever affect them until you get it right and spend lots and lots of money in the process." Back to the drawing board I go.

      Yes it's normal. I too have many casualties. The trick is to get them on time to be able to save some leaves at least to propagate so that one doesn't entirely lose the plant. I find that Plants that have died on me and I grew from salvage leaves tend to be far stronger plants than the mother plant.
