My boyfriend and I love your videos. Whenever he heard you said " It's alive, it's alive, he would got up quickly and come to watch your videos. I learned a lot frome you especially how to take care succulents. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us. I watched your videos from Los Angeles, CA 🇺🇸 ❤
I just landscaped my neighbors yard with some awesome succulent ground cover and I am so glad that I kept all the flats that it came in! I just love all your pink!
Darling Liz excellent Topic u chose, definitely every newbie succulents grower wants to have more succulents babies from their favorite ones. But as I'm learning to grow I find watering as a task tell us how should we people who stay in hot &humid areas should minimize the task of appropiately watering succulents and their babies . As for some time it's difficult to have control on onself we water one and then all succulents in one go?
When it comes to succulents, one can't water all in one go. I only water the one's that needs watering. Putting them in groups according to their dormancy and watering needs also helps.
Do you dry them first (new haul) before you plant it in the intermediate mix? What can I get as a seasol here in the US? I am really following everything that you’re teaching coz your succulents are amazingly beautiful😘😘😘 love 😍 you😘
No I don't dry them at all. In fact I actually get the roots wet first in seasol to remove old soil, then plant them in the soil. For the soil wetter. Look for seaweed(kelp) solution with compost and humic acid.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK ok I ordered everything already from amazon...thank you thank you I really appreciate answering everyone here, you’re so amazing ...love you a lot 😘😘😘
Here's a link of a video from my other channel and will be doing update videos on it also. Amazing result in Succulent Growth w/ SP3000 Mars Hydro LED Grow Light ruclips.net/video/5tvy5PIRot4/видео.html
Growing Succulents with LizK........hi Liz I certainly have. I’ve watched all your videos..some many times. 😂😂..love the varieties and amazing colours you have achieved.👍. I live with frost also and I have noticed my plants doing it better after some time of exposure..but I’m not as brave as you..😂. I do cover them religiously but Some I couldn’t be bothered this year have survived fine. Keep up the great content 👍

Thank you very much for sharing, I learned much more from you everyday . I try to buy decomposed granite but until now I couldn’t find. I’m in Sydney, flower power and some nursery don’t keep it ☹️.
They're not available at plant nurseries. I just googled up DECOMPOSED/"CRUSHED" granite for driveways in Sydney and they are available in a lot of places. They are available at landscaping supplies or gravel and sand suppliers and quarries. The only draw back is you have to bring a trailer and buy half a cubic meter which will not last very long if you have a lot of succulents or you can share it with your friends. Hope this helps.
I understand what you mean Rosa as it can be very confusing. There are thousands of species of succulents and they all have different growing requirements. It's important to know exactly which succulent(name) you have so it can be given the right soil mix. But as a general guide, I use my Propagation soil mix for a lot of baby succulents or leaf propagation. Video link below. Propagation Soil Mix | GSWLizK - ruclips.net/video/Q-XEjJFUGVI/видео.html
Hi Liz, if you dip your roots in seasol water and plant straight away will this rot the succulents? I'm worried cos I did what you said but from other ppl videos say not too water after repotting for a few days to a week? Is this the same thing? I didn't water the soil after I soak roots in seasol for awhile.
I usually leave it for a week and then check for soil dampness coz depending on the weather; sometimes I don't even water for 2 weeks until I feel that the pot is light. If the moisture is in the bottom of the pot, this encourages the roots to go down and gets established much quicker.
how do you make your propagation soil mix and intermediate soil mix?and please let me know when you will be selling,thank and more succulents to come💞💖😍
Hi Estrella, It takes me a long time to make these videos so that you can have all the information that you need. All I ask is that you please watch the video which will answer your question. Propagation soil mix "TIP" is in 9:15 of this video. May I suggest you also subscribe so you get notified when there's a new video because the intermediate soil mix Video was uploaded a day prior to this video. Cheers, Liz
HI Liz! Good information as always. Question: When you put the material under your intermediate soil mix when moving your babies, it looks like a type of mulch to me. Am I wrong? Also, I hear you mention scoria in another video. What exactly is that, some type of lava rock? Thanks for sharing! You're so sweet :)
Hi Liz, I'm have a couple of problems, when I recieve my purchased sucs from online, they come bare rooted and dry. When I potted them up I was dipping them in kelp/water mixture, ( I don't have the soil wetter but am ordering it today). They started showing signs of being over watered and lost all bottom leaves due to moisture, (I did not water them). I have taken them back out and have them air drying. What am I doing wrong? And if I just pot them up with dry roots I end up losing several bottom leaves from drying up even if I water. Any help on what I should be doing? And what is it you use to prepare them for the winter to strengthen them. Its getting cold here and I've gotta start worrying about the frost. Thanks for all your great videos and information!! Your my go to for succulent care!!
You don't need to use soil wetter. Kelp is good enough to hydrate the dry roots. If they're wrinkly, then best to soak them indoors where it's warm. If you bought Echeveria in Autumn, you could pot them straight away in moist soil or dry soil but dunk the bottom half of the pot in some kelp water for a couple of seconds to encourage the roots to grow and reach for the wet soil. Just be aware that a lot of them go dormant at this time. Best time to buy them is on the last month of winter, so they have time to settle in their new environment and start growing roots when the temperature warms up.
Hi Liz, when I buy succulents from stores and want to repot again, do I need to airdry them first for like a week, then apply it with seasol? then immediately repot it or let the seasol dry as well? kinda confused. Thanks for the help
Depends on the soil that they are in and the condition of the plant. Not necessary to air dry in some cases but I'm afraid you'll just have to wait for my upcoming videos as this will take a long time to explain. Working on some ATM. Cheers
awesome. cant’ wait Liz. Also If I can suggest, I guess all viewers here would love if you can give as like a step by step chart on how-to, in all sorts of cases etc. (eg If you’re buying succs from store >> repot if soil is not good >> airdry >> seasol >> repot)
Can I call you crazi plant lady with ❤ 🌹thank you for the detailed video, following like a school kid. I'm so in love with your collection. Hoping one day mine is that full and beautiful, 💞from Pakistan.
Hi ,how are you miss Liz, I'm having problems on my succulents and u saw yours are all compact, How should I do to make them compact, pls help me miss Liz, By the way I am from California , Do we have the same weather?
Winter temperature can go down up to -11°Celcius or 12°Fahrenheit. Summer temperature can go as high as 45°Celcius or 113°Fahrenheit. To make them compact is to acclimatize them first and grow them outdoors.
It's a seaweed base liquid "SOIL WETTER." You might not get the same brand(I use 2 different brands) I use in your country but any "LAWN WETTER, SOIL WETTER or GRASS WETTER" will also do.
There are different reasons why I grow my succulents in a certain way. Intermediate soil mix is what I use to grow some succulents faster so it can produce offsets quicker so I can take cuttings to propagated or grow.
Soil wetting agents reduce the effects of repellence by lowering the surface tension of the water which improves infiltration. It increases the wettability of hard to wet soils, allowing deeper penetration of water into the root zone and makes it quicker for plants to take in moisture and nutrients.
That is such a generalized idea since there are so many different "GENUS" of succulents. Grown in different parts of the world and condition, each has different growing and fertilizer requirements.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK I thought that also!! I thought it was funny that something used for growth would be discouraged, unless it had something to do with over-fertilization and burned the plants because of the high nitrogen content. I try using under a 5 on the N-P-K rating.
The source of nitrogen in soil is due to decomposition of organic matter. The more nitrogen a succulent gets, the faster they grow but the greener they become.

What is seasol soil wetter for! How does it helped in the growth of the succs?
Is your intermediate mix soil your second type of growing soil?
If I cut on the stem itself beheading my Echevarria do I plant right away or let it heal on top of soil for days like the leaves we propagate?
Best to dry cuttings first before contact with soil.
Thank you for showing us your secrets and wonderful collection..

Did you just watered immediately after planting?
Yes you can depending on the plant.

What is soil wetter?

I thought that fertilizer high in nitrogen was not recommended for succulents??
That is such a generalized idea since there are so many different "GENUS" of succulents. Grown in different parts of the world and condition, each has different growing and fertilizer requirements.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK I thought that also!! I thought it was funny that something used for growth would be discouraged, unless it had something to do with over-fertilization and burned the plants because of the high nitrogen content. I try using under a 5 on the N-P-K rating.
What is high nitrogen soil?😊
The source of nitrogen in soil is due to decomposition of organic matter. The more nitrogen a succulent gets, the faster they grow but the greener they become.

Do you sell your beautiful succulents?
Here in California USA
Not at the moment Charleen as I'm still propagating them but thanks for asking. Take care and stay safe. Cheers, Liz
Growing Succulents with LizK
I would like to buy from you when they’re ready.
Why did you use 2 trays rather than just one?
It's for less watering frequency. More height to keep it moist so it won't dry up too fast and the bark is for airflow.
Got it! Makes sense
🤩🤩🤩💜💜
🫶🤗💚🪴
Uhhhhh o we have propagating soil mix video?
Yes we do. Please take a loot at my SOIL MIX Playlist. Thank you.
When you decide to sell please let me know I will really like to purchase some they are all beautiful I'm Amazed
Will definitely do Jillian.
