    Here in SoCal, we are in the midst of the longest drought that I have seen in the 38 years that I have lived here. A great source of water for your plants s your shower. If you’re like me, your shower is on the far end of the house from the hot water heater. Put the shower head in a 5 gallon bucket while you wait for the shower water to heat up. You will get 1-1/2 to 3 gallons of “free” water while you wait for the water to warm up enough to get in. Under normal circumstances, that water would normally go down the drain as waste. It is enough to water your succulents. The rest can be used for your flowers and vegetable garden. Every little bit helps! Thank you for your videos!

    WOW! What a beautiful garden. That is what I would like to do, however, I can't keep my succulents alive no matter what I do. They grow tall, and all of the bottom leaves dry up and fall off and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to cut them and not let them get too tall or how to properly care for them. I love your succulents; they are absolutely gorgeous!

    • @FreePlantsForever
      @FreePlantsForever  Год назад +1

      It sounds like your succulents aren’t getting enough light. They need to be in very bright light or they will stretch very long and tall. If they are indoors and you don’t have a bright spot for them perhaps invest in a grow light. There are lots of options these days for lamps that fit very need.

    I use a wooden chopstick push to the bottom of the pot. you just pull the Chopstick out and make sure it's completely dry and there's no soil sticking to it. Problem solved. Succulents, like echeveria, also need strong direct sunlight so they don't get leggy and spindly.

      Depends! Rain water is always good if you have it. We store rainwater, but it does eventually run out and we just use the hose then. Our water tends to be really hard, so rainwater is preferred, but I just use what I can! They definitely aren't as fussy as other plants, so no need for distilled or anything like that.

    • @FreePlantsForever
      @FreePlantsForever  Год назад

      You can definitely bottom water! That is probably a really good way to ensure that you're not overwatering. I usually just "top water" as in my mind that's what happens in nature. I keep it in the tray to get the best of both worlds. I leave the plants in the drip tray for about an hour as any water that isn't absorbed by then isn't needed, and that way we avoid overwatering.

      If your succulents are grown indoors, they would definitely benefit from a grow light. They usually like a lot of bright light, and will get more colorful with more light. I'd recommend to ease them into bright light though, as they can sunburn even with grow lights. Best of luck!

      @FreePlantsForever  2 года назад +1

      Aloe is a kind of succulent! Succulent is just a broad term for drought tolerant plants that retain moisture in their leaves. Most people end up overwatering their succulents and cacti and not giving them enough warmth and light. If they’re indoors move them to a bright windowsill or invest in a grow light. Depending on how they’re doing, it could be worth chopping and re-propagating them.

    So how would i get my aloe to thicken her leaves and be greener? Same technique with the soaking? And then i presume the aloe gets watered only when the soil fairly deep down feels dry as he** right? Lol i usually do it 1x wk regardless. It's indoors in an east facing window so it's mostly sunned in the morning until the sun goes above thw house around 11 or so. No trees are near our windows where aloe and her cousin African violet live on the kitchen table. Violet is doing great! Aloe is sick off and on. 😢

    • @FreePlantsForever
      @FreePlantsForever  Год назад

      I’m guessing the Aloe needs more light, they are from South Africa and like very bright, desert conditions. They also don’t like soggy soil, so really only water when very dry and try to get it brighter light for around 8 hrs a day. If it needs to stay indoors, you could try a grow light perhaps?

      I wouldn't recommend cutting the tips of succulent leaves as that could make them more prone to rot. If they have a brown spot it could either be sunburn or rot. You might be best off removing the whole leaf. Or if it's just an aesthetic thing, maybe just leave it.

      As long as there is adequate drainage and the roots aren't sitting in standing water many succulents do well in moist soil. In fact, some succulents do better in wetter environments. "Succulent" is just a general term for a huge variety of plants with differing needs.

  • @adriennefloreen
    @adriennefloreen 2 года назад +1

    Most of those succulents are from South Africa and they like more water than desert cacti, if you want I can tell you what most of those species are except for the echeverias, there's too many similar looking echeverias and I can't identify some of my own. Did some of your plants come from Monterey bay nursery? They sell plants to plant selling stores all across California and most of their species names are spelled wrong. I just made a video about the plants I got that were all labeled with misspelled names in Northern California and half were from that company! I'm wondering because you have many of the same plants as me.

    • @FreePlantsForever
      @FreePlantsForever  2 года назад

      Yes, true... it all really depends on the individual succulent, they all have different needs for sure. Most of my plants were not bought but were propagated from dropped leaves or given as cuttings from other people, so it's possible they originated from Monterey Bay 🤷‍♀️

    BUT sometimes over and under watering symptoms look the same. I’ve killed succulents both ways.

      This is why I find checking the soil is really important. If the soil is wet... definitely don't add more water. Something as simple as a chopstick is good to check if the deeper soil is wet too.

      Not sure what your conditions are like, but they might need more warmth! They also don’t want to be in direct sunlight, but are better off in the shade (if outdoors) or in bright indirect light indoors.

      Hi, I’m not sure what climate you live in, but, in case you live in a hot humid country like I do, I feel that leaving the leaves outdoors in a bright but shaded area seems to help a lot (as opposed to indoors) so that they receive sufficient indirect sunlight to prevent an early rot of the leaves. Hope your climate allows you to so the same and let me know how it goes! Good luck

      What are the conditions like? Are they getting enough light and warmth? Is the soil well-draining? There are many factors to make these plants happy.

    Don’t move to Texas if you like to garden! It’s a place where gardens die. Well, without a lot and I mean a lot of blood sweat and tears. I only have flower beds because I brought old cow manure from my parents farm up north and installed a drip system.

      I finally found one after looking for a year. I'm afraid to water it as I usually over water everything.

    • @FreePlantsForever
      @FreePlantsForever  Год назад

      That's just it, there is no correct "amount" it depends on the situation, the pot, the soil, the conditions etc. My main advice is that as long as your soil is dry and your plant looks thirsty, give it a LOT of water. Let it sit in the water and soak it in... but don't let it get soggy, keep an eye on it. I keep my plants in a drip tray for around an hour until the soil is really saturated, then I don't water again until it is fully dried out. A large pot or an in-ground succulent is going to require a lot more water than a succulent in a tiny pot. I hope that helps!
