- Succulents won’t grow at the same pace all year . With fluctuations in temperature, most succulents will go through phases where they grow less (dormant ) or grow more ( non-dormant ).
One of the first signs that a succulent entering dormancy will exhibit is that it stops growing completely and starts to great displaying vibrant colours.
Few key points to remember....

If by any means you are not a doctor..please consider yourself a Succulent Doctor... Ur explanations of the topic are thorough yet well explained and so methodical that I don't see how better it could have been done..will request you to please put your knowledge and teaching abilities to good use and write a book for us on Succulents..🙏🙏
Aww your comment made my day 😊
Thank you so much really appreciate.....I wish could have done more ....but the issue is climate that is the main in hurdle ...unfortunately in India we don’t have zone like how they have it in America....if we had zones in India it would have been much easy to understand and grow succulents....here we randomly buy succulents irrespective of weather the climate suits them or no.
I initially thought to write a blog ....but when I was going through several blogs it was difficult to understand certain things now for me it’s easy to picture things in mind cause I have an experience in succulents but for newbies it will be very difficult to image what’s being written .....so I thought visual presentation will be much better to understand.
I always learn new things when watching your videos. They are original, professional and practical that I don't find from other videos. Thank you for making them happen!

This is really good. You've in detail explained the life of a succulent . I grew and( killed, 🥺 )succulent for a long time didn't know these nuances. Very neatly done video.

Thank u... much needed vdo.

Thank you for watching
That was a super helpful video. I'm glad I found you here. I'm in a sub-tropical area and I'm encouraged to see that you have beautiful succulents thriving outside even with your rainy monsoon season. Do you cover them, protecting them from days and days of rain? They looked so beautiful.
Nannette Austin thank you...yes it’s slightly difficult to maintain them during the monsoons but with few precautions they are good ....yes I cover them with plastic sheets also during this season need to be quite vigilant as the fungi ,pests,bugs activity increases so have to watch out for those ...Apart from this another reason is my city is quite elevated above the sea level ( succulents prefer hilly or mountain like environment ) giving us a pleasant climate throughout the year ....so most part of the year its dry at the day time and cool humid at night just what they prefer......so that contributes to their well being
Nice
kitchen Gardening official thank you

vaishnavi shirodkar thank you for watching 😊
Your videos are so informative and perfect that i make notes out of these. Thank youuuu!!!!
awe thank you so much for watching…really appreciate ☺️
@@LushGardener Have you tried water Propagation of succulents?
@@kay12360 water propagation is not very helpful especially in tropical condition no doubt it will root but after Tht when u put the leaf in soil the roots are not able to adjust and then the leaf gets affected 😔
Thank for the video. Is the netting you mentioned just called green netting? I saw some on Amazon but the holes in it looked too big
yes just type in green net for gardening you will find it ..
go for a 50 percent net .....but now as monsoon arrives green net won’t be of much help because if your succulents are out you would also need some kinda transparent plastic sheet to protect them from rains
Can we convert the semidormant period to growing period.. for example by
Keeping inside the room but then what about sun exposure requirement...??
Yes semi dormant can be converted into growing period provided you manipulate with the temperature....keep indoors is good idea but you would require bright indirect sunlight or you can use grow lights to over come the light issue
A very informative video. From where we can find exact ID of a succulent. Because I buy succulents online . They come to me without any ID
yes that’s the main issue most sellers don’t know the I’d.... also at times it’s very difficult to I’d them you can either google the I’d or u can send me the pics on fb or insta again I can try because it quite difficult to I’d few succulents
@@LushGardener Can you give me your Instagram handle or FB ID
For buying secculents should we but them in there growing season
I would suggest buy them end of sept onwards
What plant is at 8:01 I have one and can’t identify it
8:01 the large Echeveria ?
it’s Echeveria imbricata
I am huge fan of succulents and you helped me a lot. I have sempervivum (Lakshmi kamal). I don’t know about its sunlight requirements and dormancy period. Can you please help me?
Should we provide direct sunlight even to a dormant succulent?
Thank you so much....m glad I was of some help ....ok mam few questions.
Which city are you from / what’s the summer temperature in your city
Because sempervium is very difficult to grow in places that have high temperatures.
@@LushGardener
I from Ankleshwar Gujarat. Maximum temperature reaches 40°C some times.
@@nikitapatel5244 oh oh that’s is too much for sempervivum mam I don’t think it will be handle it ....
Have you recently purchased the sempervivum and will this be its first summer ?
@@LushGardener
I just purchased it a month ago so it will be its first summer
Is there any solution to save it?
@@nikitapatel5244 oh ok it’s going to be a challenge mam ....
Now this is something you will have to work with .....you need a space that has either direct morning sun or indirect bright light ....apart from that the place where it’s placed should be cooler and dry ......they don’t like to sit in moist soil too long
Now you wil have to arrange for a place like this...I’m from Bangalore in monsoons and winters they do well but as soon as summers hit especially in the months of April - May even with temperature around 35-36 they just die .....so I stopped keeping them in my collection unless I get as a gift again that doesn’t last long ....they do well in cooler places
