    I'm learning, I don't know anything about cactus. I grow succulents, and I am an orchid rescuer. I see lots of cactus on the website I buy my succulents, Tia's succulent garden. My orchids come from big box stores when they are ready to toss them out. Enjoyed your video. I might just try a cactus. Thanks Liz, you made it look easy.

    lovely video. I normally only use "rock" like mix to grow cacti, not a tiny piece of organic soil. it turns beautiful looks over the years just like its original habitat.

    Just yesterday i lost my Arizona Rainbow cactus and wished you would show some cactus soil. And there was our succulent fairy godmother!! Thank you. I just noticed that you dont have any Adeniums in your collection. Here they bloom like crazy and have beautiful shapes. I wish i could gift you some. Thank you for the vdo and i just like your sense of humour.

      I have two adeniums. Very difficult to grow here because of the frost. So far, I have kept them alive for about 4 years.

    Thank you for the most interesting video. I have stopped putting larger grit pieces at the foot of the pot as when it came to repotting 2 years on, the roots had been tangled in the grit and most were lost in the repotting process. Since then I have read that two Botanists at Universities in the USA have stated that crocs should not be put at the bottom of pots as they can tangle roots, trap air and reduce draining.

    • @GrowingSucculentswithLizK

      Maybe depends on the plant and how advance the growth is. I find that most succulents will survive even if most of the roots are removed. Thanks for watching.

    Hi Liz, the plant you called copiapoa cinerea is probably a gymnocalycium, absolutely not a copiapoa. Thank you from Italy for all your great videos 👍👍👏👏🌵🌷💐🤗

    • @steffahome6512
      @steffahome6512 2 года назад

      A gymnocalycium baldianum perhaps...

    • @GrowingSucculentswithLizK
      @GrowingSucculentswithLizK  2 года назад

      Not like my Baldianums. Possibly a Gymnocalicium species but different from Baldianum. This ones have velvety skin almost the same as copiapoa.

    Hi Liz. Your unlabeled second cactus is similar to Gymnocalycium bruchii (it forms clumps too) but there are other similar species.

    Liz could you possibly do a video on lilacina vs pollux. I can not tell which one I have and there isn't a lot of comparison information out there and you are so good at explaining things like differences in similar plants. Thanks 😊

    • @GrowingSucculentswithLizK
      @GrowingSucculentswithLizK  2 года назад +1

      They are very difficult to tell when they're young and also where they're grown. I find that Pollux are more grey tone with a square edge leaf shape and the lilacina(pink tones) with pointier leaves.

    I’ve been watching you videos for about 6 mths you share some wonderful tips.
    You got me starting to love succulent & now Caucasus.
    Your soil mix I seen today you add stones to the soil?
    Your top dressing did you add granite ?
    I tried adding the tiny white rocks/ stones but prefer yours.
    Where can I buy then.

    • @GrowingSucculentswithLizK
      @GrowingSucculentswithLizK  2 года назад

      I use decomposed Granite. They vary from different parts of the world but mineral content wise is almost the same benefits for the plants. There is one product called Maifan Stone available online. Thanks for watching Kathy and may you continue your love for these beautiful plants.

      They're dormant in winter unless you bring them indoors where it's constantly warm and they'll continue to grow.

    • @GrowingSucculentswithLizK
      @GrowingSucculentswithLizK  Год назад +2

      @@michellechapman8738 I highly suggest that you don't. Any root disturbance (open wound) will take in moisture at night. It might be warm but that also means there will be high humidity in the room. Once the heater is turned off, the cold will set in, and condensation happens opening your plant to moisture and therefore rot. 70°F is still pretty cold for cactus.

      I always leave them to air dry for at least a couple of weeks them put them in moist soil and water after a month later.

    • @GrowingSucculentswithLizK
      @GrowingSucculentswithLizK  2 года назад

      Philippines is tropical. So best to put them in much grittier mix like scoria or Vulcanic rocks so they don't rot. If kept undercover, they will survive with a lot less watering. The perfect low maintenance plant.
