Wow! That’s intelligently done. So perfect ❤️❤️❤️thanks to our awesome teacher who loves to share her knowledge on succulent growing....yeheyyyy love you Lizzy. See you on your next vlog 💕💥
Thanks liz, I want to do some chopping of mine soon. I just covered my plants in the ground with shade cloth for the summer as it's expected to be 40 on Friday (urgh). When I was setting up the shade cloth I noticed soo much growth since winter.. I really haven't touched them at all or spent any time on them.. I do need a can of beer for slugs and snails though!!
Great video Liz, I can’t wait to see the next process! By the way most of my succulents have survived the move to Orange from the ACT and the full open weather conditions with only a few smaller plant losses.
Now im itching to behead my bluebird 😆😆 been busy with my succulents lately luckily some survived dahil sa bagyo. I think growing season nila ngayon ber months sa pinas. Im loving their form and some have beautiful pink tips 😍 the downside is hirap maghabol ng araw 😆😆 lagi makulimlim lately.
I like headchopping. I sometimes take a secound bottom row of leaves first to make more rooms, then cut with fishing thread or scissors. In this way, I lose less leaves and get more for propagation。
Hi Liz. Thank you for this video. I love seeing different videos how ppl do their beheading. I actually done this method with my topsy-turvy but I didn't do a good job. All the bottom leaves fall off. Don't know why, maybe cut too much into it. Anyway after that I'm not tried again. So I used a knife for my second attempt. Also not sure if my fishing line was too thick or is it too thin? Anyway I struggle with using the fishing line. Maybe I will try again with a stem not too thick too cut.
Hi po Ms Liz, meron na naman po ako bago natutunan sa inyo, gawin ko nga po sa rose cabbage atleast f hnd pwd meron pa 4 matira😜 good day po, stay healthy godbless❤️
Rose cabbage/Imbricata are very easy to grow. What they don't like is too much pampering and over watering. Water only pag malambot na ang bottom leaves.
Liz! OMG I just found a ton of black tourmaline!!!!! I was busting up some decomposed granite and not decomposed granite I use that as top dressing but I use the decomposed granite in my soil mix, and I saw a big boulder that I had put in the corner of the garage so I went to work on that one and oh my good lord! it is full of black tourmaline the chunks are just falling out. They are not that big, but still! I will gather them all together and put them next to my bed to keep bed energy away and away from my succulents 😄😄 Thank you so much for igniting this spark inside of me I am so in love with these rocks and all the minerals and crystals and everything I find inside of them! Btw, I have two buckets of Mica LOL one for big chunks and one for little chunks hahaha
Black tourmaline crystal are one of my favorite crystal. Congratulation on your lucky find. You are so lucky. If I find that in my property...I'll bulldozed the whole area to try and fund more. LOL
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK haha I know you probably would! It's weird because we have these big rocks that look like they are discarded cement mixed with black gravel Pebbles and those are the ones with all the tourmaline in it. I went to great lengths to make sure that I identified it correctly and yes even though they are small and I haven't been able to get out a whole piece yet intact it's definitely black tourmaline I'm so excited!!
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK because my phone crapped out but i had a spare so when i switched over it wiped out my google drive and erased all of my photos. idk how or why iy did, but, yup, everything is gone!!! mi dont even remember sending that pic so maybe its a good thing lmao lol i may have been sleepwalking haha. noooo in doubt that but i really dont remem,bner haha
My bluebird leaves still have not produced roots! It's been a little over four months LOL! Remember I was telling you that my bluebird rotted? Yeah my leaves still have not popped any Roots out but I was able to save the very tippy tippy top of the head, and I mean very tippy top like little teeny eenie weenie New growth top and that finally sprouted some Roots so I'm hoping to get something from that. I watched Tanya's video the other day where she had chopped some of hers and I told her I was going to do my pvn but I chickened out LOL. Mine doesn't seem like it went dormant because I brought them inside so early so do you think it will be safe for me to do the pvn? Trust me it's very dramatic when it's thirsty and I've been watering it twice a month since I brought them in in the middle of September. Please keep me posted on the leaf propagation for this plant!!! I can't wait to see the next video because I have a feeling I do my potting up all wrong when I get plant mail 😩
I might be able to answer some of your question on the next video. With Echeveria, I find that they have very little/short period of dormancy. Maybe in tropical places, they don't go dormant at all. The sprouted 3 pots of blue birds were chopped in winter.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK im finding that the dormancy rules are very loose. the only thing of m,ine dormant is my dionysos!! and that grows at a snails pace anyways haha i look forward to ypour next video....wait , like i dont look forward to them all hahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHA
Thank you Maam Liz! for your future videos, can you discuss about Natural Variegated plants and chemical-induced variegated plants. A youtuber Cerriscapades - also in Australia, talked about this in 2018. Hope you could say something about it since you are also an educated and experienced grower.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thank you po madam may God bless you always good health in physical, financial and spiritual. God is good in your life and in your family happy holidays din po sa inyo i enjoy watching your videos po. 😍🥰🥰
Hey liz how do I grow a succulent that’s roots are cut off? Some have stems and some have roots just the tops? Do I put them in perilite or cactus soil?😊
I will treat all of them as if they have no roots and just stem. As long as they've been calloused off (leave to dry for a couple of hours), I would plant them in a succulent and cactus mix, then water when the soil dries up. 🥰
My succulent got really tall because I didn't have it in enough sunlight I pulled the leaves off I basically just have like a long skinny stem can I still do this?
Hi Liz, I have a question for u: I finally decided to head chop some of my sucs that were not growing pups nor the leaves were producing babies. Now they have grown some babies around the top. I'd like to know when and how to remove those from the stem. I also have a quite large and prolific E. Topsy Turvy that has not neen headchopped, but has produced tons of pups on the stem, they seem like crested fot the amount of them in a tiny space, What should I do with them? should I remove some of them to make them grow bigger or leave them be? Thank you in advance for your reply!
The best time to harvest them is when they start growing roots on the side or when the plant is big enough to form some nodes. Topsy turvy is very hardy plant and can be separated, let dry and plant and it will grow. Good luck.
Thanks for this wonderful video cuz I really want to chop one of my succulents but I do know if it's OK to remove the pups of the main plant and just put it out directly?
You can chop the head off w/o removing the pup on the side or you can also take the pup(depending how small), let it dry for a couple of days then put in soil and don't water till it root up.
Some do as long as it's a mature stem with nodes. It also depends on the plant but I've grown many echeveria on bare stem with roots that the leaves have rotted.
I don't water the leaves unless they have roots. If grown on coconut coir/peat, I water them when the soil is dry. From everyday to 3 or 4 times a week depending on how much humidity is in the air.
Liz! I have a BEAUTIFUL top heavy PVN that I got from a big box store. It was stricken with mealies and most of its friends died. As the sole survivor, she is big(for me), leaning and on a skinny little stem. I am petrified of chopping her. Petrified.
Give the mealies a good dose of my metho spray (1 cup denatured alcohol and 1/4 water). Then put a couple of BBQ stick for support until the stem grow thicker to hold itself up. This can take a good couple of months. Good luck.
Hello Liz, I have a question for you. I have a collection of succulent indoor with grow light. Can I head chop succulent during fall / winter season? Thank you for all the video, I learned a lot from you. SALAMAT
photos.app.goo.gl/GzL39PGnLD25F2JM7 Okay here it is. You can see the big rock with the black pieces of Tourmaline in it those little black Pebbles are the pieces of Tourmaline I've been able to get out but it's frustrating because I can't get a complete peace out. See how they are tubular? and in the background is just a little bit of the mica pieces I've been able to take out. If you look in the background you can see a big giant coffee creamer container, industrial size LOL I have two of those full of mica pieces. I'm having so much fun LOL I have a Ziploc baggie full of the black tourmaline but I wish I could find bigger pieces. I'm happy with what I have though 😊
They look like good specimen pieces that's worth more intact in the mica schist. I wouldn't be separating them from the host rock if it was me but just find some good exposed samples. The small individual black tourmaline crystals are not worth much but specimen pieces are.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK gotcha!!! I'm having so much fun LOLand those are just rocks that are up here by my house. I haven't even gone down in the back of our property yet. There's a little creek at the end of our horse pasture and then way up in the back there's all stone boundary walls put up From the early settlers. I cannot wait to go back there and see what type of rock I find! Thanks for the advice ❤️❤️❤️

Head chopping sounds so dark 🤣! I'm glad you clarified it with mentioning succulents right after.
😅🤣
I like the precision of the fishing line.. 👍
Thank you, Liz, for the detailed head chop. You stay safe and healthy too! 🥰🌷
You too. Thanks.
Liz that is a great technique! I've never used fishing line - just chopped with a knife. This way looks more efficient and saves more of the plant.
Definitely way better than a knife Iza. Thanks!
Smart right???! 🤓🤓🤓
Yaay cant wait to see you again😀
I allways watching your video liz.. ❤️

Hi lizk. Definitly will try this technique. Can we do this with all kind of succulents ?
Not 'ALL KINDS' as there are so many different kind of succulents. For now, I'll just stick to Echeveria.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK thanks lizk
Liz can i apply Rooting hormones just immediately after a cut after wiping with tissue paper
I tried using it once but find it doesn't make any difference. I don't wipe the plant with tissue paper as well. Just cut and dry naturally.
Can water therapy be used after the beheaded crown callouses in order to sprout roots?
Yes it can but will do it mostly in the warmer months.
Sure, Thank you Liz🌸🙏

@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK oh OK thank you liz😊😊😊❤️
Liz I was wondering if echeverias can grow from just a bare stem with roots and not a single leaf on it?
Some do as long as it's a mature stem with nodes. It also depends on the plant but I've grown many echeveria on bare stem with roots that the leaves have rotted.
Thank you Liz for the great advice I really appreciate the time you take to reply to each comment, too with knowledge from a professional for free. 🙏💐
I suppose you remived flower stalks or new shoots.is it apt?
Removed flower stalks why?
Because it stresses the plant and encourages aphids and mealybug to attack the plant.
How do you often water those succulent leaves you laid on tge soil?
I don't water the leaves unless they have roots. If grown on coconut coir/peat, I water them when the soil is dry. From everyday to 3 or 4 times a week depending on how much humidity is in the air.
